Superlight Windbreaker Folds Up To Fit In Your Pocket

By David Ponce on 04/10/13 • Leave a comment!

Salomon-Light-Jacket

Ever been jogging and wished you’d brought your jacket? But it didn’t seem that cold, right? If you’d had Solomon’s S-LAB Light Jacket, you could have just brought it with you in your jogging pants’ pocket and pulled it out when you noticed you were getting cold. It weighs all of 70g, (2.5oz.) and has what the company calls “ClimaWind” technology, which means it’s made from a highly breathable material that won’t have you starting to sweat, making you want to take it off, only to get cold again because now you’re sweaty and it’s still cold out…

It’s $80.

There’s Nothing Sly About Sly Fox’s Topless Beer Cans

By Hazel Chua on 04/09/13 • Leave a comment!

Topless Beer Can

Isn’t it a pain to drink beer or soda from a can and chug it down quickly so you can get to your next sip? You could use a glass, but then that would take some of the fizz out of your drink. The solution? Cans with tops that come off completely so you can sip your drink from the can as if it were a glass.

Not many companies are doing this, but the Sly Fox Brewing Company is and we think it’s a great idea. Head brewer Brian O’Reilly explains that the modification “allows the full flavor and aroma of the beer to hit the drinker’s senses.” The special lid can only be found on the company’s Helles Golden Lager, which is available across their Pennsylvania, New York, and New Jersey distribution area.

Ice Cream Heels Look Good Enough to Eat, But Look Pretty Silly When Worn

By Hazel Chua on 04/09/13 • Leave a comment!

Ice Cream Heels

When it comes to Melissa footwear, it’s all about the plastic. So trust me when I say that while these ice cream heels look good enough to eat, they are clearly and obviously not edible. Melissa teamed up with Karl Lagerfeld to create a playful line of pumps that feature an ice cream cone on the heel.

It looks just any ordinary pair of pumps until you turn around and then BAM! It’s full-on ice cream exposure.

Would You Care For Some Mana… Tea?

By David Ponce on 04/04/13 • Leave a comment!

Quirky tea infusers are popular round these parts. Remember the Mr.Tea infuser from last October? Or the Deathstar infuser from last August? Or even the Robot Tea Infuser from last November? We think the ManaTea takes the cake. Just look at him, just chilling on that tea cup, soaking his silicone bottom for your drinking enjoyment. And he’s all of $10, a steal!

DropStop Plugs The Black Hole On Either Side Of Your Car Seats

By David Ponce on 04/03/13 • 1 Comment

dropstop

If you’ve driven for any period of time, you know that the best way to lose any personal item is to drop it in the deep, dark canyon on either side of your seat. It’s an annoying “feature” of pretty much every vehicle on the road, but luckily, Marc Newburger and Jeffrey Simon may have found a solution. It’s called the DropStop and is essentially just a foam tube with a reinforced opening through which the seatbelt fits. Stuff it into the opening and watch in awe as pennies, phones, keys, important receipts and anything else falls within easy reach, instead of what the company calls “The Carmuda Triangle.” It’ll work with almost and make and model, and $20 will get you a set, along with a credit-card sized LED flashlight.

Stinky Footboard: Now You Can Play Games on Your PC With Your Foot

By Hazel Chua on 03/27/13 • Leave a comment!

Foot Controller

Gaming is about to be revolutionized with the coming of the Oculus Rift and controllers that won’t require you to use your hands when you play anymore. One of these is the Stinky Footboard, which was recently unveiled at PAX East 2013 in Boston. It was designed by Stelulu Technologies’ Stephane Rivard and Luc Levasseur, and it’s aptly but unfortunately called ‘Stinky’ for short.

The Stinky is basically a very sturdy metal D-pad that lets you play your games with your foot.

Puzzle Keyboard

If you haven’t gotten used to your keyboard’s configuration by this time, then I doubt you ever will. It’s in cases like these where concepts like the Puzzle Keyboard will come in handy. It’s basically a modular keyboard that lets you arrange letters and characters based on your personal preferences. If you’d like ‘M’ to take the place of your ‘A’, then all you have to do is switch the keys over and snap them back into place.

With the Puzzle Keyboard, everyone and anyone can modify and customize their keyboard based on their typing habits.

A Knife So Pretty You’re Not Going To Want To Use It

By David Ponce on 03/20/13 • Leave a comment!

Knife-by-Michele-Daneluzzo

Knives are often utilitarian tools, meant to cleave, slice, skin, filet or chop your food into forms you’ll feel better about shoving down your piehole. But knives can be beautiful too, as demonstrated by the Primitive Knife, by designer Michele Daneluzzo. He drew inspiration from the knives used by early humans, such as flint tools, and is formed from one petal-shaped piece of steel. And it just looks great, in our opinion. The Primitive has no handle, instead relying on a ridge that runs along the top part of the blade to allow holding. It’s available in blast or polished steel, and is stored upright in a stand that comes included. It’s being produced by a company called Del Ben, but navigating that Flash site is so 2005 that it’s giving us headaches. Thus a price can’t be found. By looks alone, we’d say you can’t afford it.

Rocking Stool Literally Rocks–Just Make Sure You Don’t Fall Off

By Hazel Chua on 03/19/13 • Leave a comment!

Stool Rocks

You’ve all heard about rocking chairs, but who’s ever heard of a rocking stool? James McBennett is hoping thousands of people from the world over will know (and maybe own) a rocking stool by the time his campaign on Kickstarter wraps up.

It’s basically a stool that rocks. The innovative design is minimalist and is a breeze to put together and take apart. According to the project page, you can do so in under a minute. There are also three kinds of rocking stools: the Hard Rock, the Soft Rock, and the Easy Rock. (On a side note, can I just say that I love how they named these stools?)
