The next Honda Type R is in concept stage, but I kind of like it. They are pushing wheel size to the limit these days. Lets hope the finished version looks this cool. And lets also hope that the 197hp motor is as rock solid as the original B-series VTEC motors. That one seems pretty unlikely. |

Ever think "I have this great idea, I bet nobody has made X." and then gone on the Internet and seen it already done? That’s how I found this old school rotary phone converted to cell. Place outgoing calls through the original rotary dial. Incoming calls ring the original internal bells. No wires. Check out the phone in action here. You can own one of these phones for a measly $399.00. $399.00! Yikes. |

Here’s a piece of wood that mysteriously tells you what time it is. It isn’t too mysterious actually, behind a thin layer of wood on the face is a bright digital clock. When turned on, the numbers shine right through the wood. Brilliant! Turned off, it looks like a block of wood on your desk. If you are into ultra-clean look, this piece is for you. |

Forget Hummer H2’s, and even H1’s. Real men drive Unimogs. Mercedes have made these things since around 1950. The advertising message sums their abilities. It reads simply "Any Task. Any Time. Any Terrain." Google image search for unimog shows these things in action. There are a few videos on Google. If I were in the market for a 4wd truck, Unimog would be near the top of the list. Mostly because it is unique and badass. Not so much because it is pretty, that’s for sure. |

Here’s a pretty sweet idea. LED’s are so cheap now that you can literally throw them away. They are cheap and amusing if you twire them to watch batteries, strap magnets and tape no them, and throw them onto something metal. Like a building, gutter, sculpture, or whatever is difficult to reach. They cost less than a dollar each and will stay lit for a couple of weeks. They even have a name: LED Throwies. Check out the video of them being thrown all over buildings in NYC. |

Just in case you wanted a laser that is visible for 125 miles, these guys have you covered. These lasers will pop balloons, light matches, and cause burns. You could probably get into a lot of trouble by aiming one at a plane. You are not supposed to use them for any kind of indoor presentation or meeting as a pointer, or in any situation in which it could be pointed at another person’s eyes. FOR 125 MILES. These things are really cool, but what the heck would I do with one? It DOES come with a nicely styled case.
Oh wait, the powerful laser sells for $1999.00. Problem solved. |
 Rumor is that the next versions of the iPod will eliminate the cool touchwheel and button. Instead, you’ll get to browse your music library via touchscreen. This could be cool because Apple will be able to make the entire top surface of the iPod a big screen. This picture comes from Apple’s patent application for such a device. What would that look like? Probably like this. |
 James Horecka’s mind was racing last month. "What niche isn’t filled?" "What do consumers want but cannot find?" The answer of course, was a puppy monorail. James flew into action creating a high-quality pet mover in just a few hours time.
"James is one of those rare people that actually takes his inventive ideas and builds something with them. That same Friday, from 5 PM to 10 PM, James built the entire train and track." |
 The next time I attend a (Winter) slumber party, I hope to wear one of these SELK’BAGs. No worrying about where to crash when you’re wearing one of these. "Selk’bag is padded with a number of layered inserts which provide maximum comfort when lying on even the hardest surfaces. Best of al , even the ugliest camper can look positively cute once wrapped in the Selk’bag." Perfect. Seen on The Cool Hunter. |
