Now You Can Own a 3D-Printed Stormtrooper With Your Face On It

By Hazel Chua on 05/23/13 • Leave a comment!

3D Printed Stormtroopers

Disney owns the Star Wars franchise now and they can do whatever they want with it, including adding themed attractions to their parks that will let you have a Stormtrooper 3D-printed with your face on it. It’s called the Star Wars D-Tech Me experience and it’ll be available at Disney’s parks starting this summer.

The whole scanning process will take all but ten minutes, but you’ll have to wait around 8 weeks for the delivery of your customized Stormtrooper. The entire thing will set you back $99.95 plus taxes and shipping charges.

Captioned Telephone Lets You Read What the Other Party is Saying During the Call

Captionec Telephone

Do you have difficulty understanding what people are saying over the phone? You could blame your phone, but keep in mind that it could also be your deteriorating hearing. This could lead to a lot of frustration on both ends of the line, which is why the Captioned Telephone is such a godsend.

It’s a phone that displays what the other party on the line is saying so you can read and listen to it at the same time. That way, you can prevent misunderstandings, keep losses to a minimum, and avoid making mistakes that could cause a lot of hassles down the road. The phone uses the US Captioned Telephone Service, which is provided free of charge by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).

Morse Code Clock: You Don’t Have to Know the Code to Tell the Time

By Hazel Chua on 05/15/13 • Leave a comment!

Morse Code Clock

The Morse code was huge back in the day when people used telegraphs to communicate. It’s not something you should necessarily learn at this point, although I do think it’s advantageous to learn the code, just in case you find yourself in a tight spot and can’t communicate except by Morse.

Helping you polish up on your numbers and just making your room look infinitely cooler is the Morse Code clock.

Solar Cat Toy

If you’re conscious about your carbon footprint, then chances are you’re already living a pretty green life. So why don’t you go the extra mile and start your cat off towards the path of greener living, too? You can change his diet, buy organic cat litter, and make playtime as green as can be by replacing his battery-powered toys with the solar-powered Cat Tantalizer.

As its name suggests, this toy will tantalize your feline companion. It’s meant to be stuck on your window, where hopefully a lot of sunlight streams in. When the rays hit the toy’s solar cell, the Tantalizer’s motor comes to life, moving the rod back and forth and giving your cat one helluva fun time.

Unlock Your Doors With a Touch or a Virtual Key With UniKey

By Hazel Chua on 05/10/13 • 2 Comments

UniKey

People lock themselves out of their houses more often than you think. Being locked out of your very own home sucks and it’s a huge waste of time. There’s the matter of calling your roommate and asking him to bring the spare key; calling the super to let you in; or worse, climbing in through a window and having your neighbors sic the police on you because they thought you were a burglar.

With all this in mind, maybe it’s time we used something else to secure our homes. Of course, we’d still need a physical lock. But as far as keys go, Kwikset is setting out to change things up on this end with the UniKey.

Drinks in Disguise: iFlask is a Flask That Looks Like an iPhone

By Hazel Chua on 05/10/13 • Leave a comment!

iPhone Flask

Clearly, there are a lot of liquids you can pour into these iFlasks that shouldn’t be consumed while you’re at work or attending some show or event where those said drinks are prohibited. Those types of liquids aren’t the ones we’re encouraging you to fill these iFlasks with, obviously, because that’s just one classic example of a supposedly neat gizmo used in a totally wrong way.

It’s pretty clear what the iFlask is, based on its name alone. In case you haven’t figured it out, it’s a flask that’s shaped and designed to look like an iPhone. It can hold up to 5 ounces of your beverage of choice discreetly. In fact, most people wouldn’t be any wiser unless they happen to grab hold of your “phone” and notice something sloshing inside of it.

Hang Around Kitchen Utensils Hang On Your Pots and Pans for Added Convenience

By Hazel Chua on 05/09/13 • 1 Comment

Hang Around

Cooking is usually loads of fun, but preparation and clean-up can be a total drag. I find that half the stuff I need to wash are plates and trays where I propped various utensils like ladles and spatula on in between stirring and flipping whatever it is I’m cooking. It’s a waste of resources, but it’s either that or put the utensil on the kitchen counter, and that’s an even bigger no-no for me.

If you’re dealing with this first-world problem yourself, then you’ll be pleased to hear about he Hang Around kitchen utensils that might just eliminate this issue once and for all. Each utensil is made from wood and has a small slit by the handle, so you can perch it on the edge of the pan or pot after using it. That way, you can easily grab it when you need it again without dribbling any sauce or other foodstuff onto your counters or onto spare plates.

Mario Bros. Industrial Pipe Lamp: The Awesomest Lamp to Light Up Your Room

By Hazel Chua on 05/08/13 • Leave a comment!

Mario Bros. Theme Industrial Pipe Lamp

Mario’s one of those video game characters who I think is truly deserving of the ‘Super’ title. He climbs down tunnels, chucks fireballs, and takes to the sky (provided he’s got the raccoon suit on), all in his quest to save the princess.

Now you can have a functional memento of Mario in action thanks to TRoweDesigns. They specialize in Steampunk, industrial-type lamps like this one inspired by the Mario Bros. franchise. It’s got a single light held up by a black iron pipe that’s encased in a vintage glass insulator to light up your room.

Probably the awesomest part about the lamp is how you’re supposed to switch it on. There are no buttons to press or switches to flick, because all you have to do is pull the chain where Mario’s hanging from and, voila! You’ve got light!

Kickstart This: MirrorCase for iPad Lets You Take Photos and Shoot Videos Horizontally

By Hazel Chua on 05/03/13 • 1 Comment

MirrorCase

Most of the time, you can’t really have the best of both worlds. But with the right gizmo, sometimes you can have your cake and eat it, too.

While the iPad’s rear-facing camera lets you take photos and shoot videos, you’d have to hold the tablet up vertically in order to do so. That makes typing or taking notes virtually impossible. Add that to the fact that you’d still need an app that will let you do both simultaneously. And just when you thought you had to go back to recording stuff with a phone and taking notes with a laptop, along came the MirrorCase.
