  Gin Wheel Is A Lazy Susan For Your Drink-Mixing Supplies

  FURNITURE, HOME

    Your wife has laid down her verdict: a big fat “no” to the mini-bar in the living room proposal you filed last night while you were talking in bed.  She doesn’t mind the cost, she just minds the idea of a bar taking up an entire corner of her home.  Well, how about a really compact serving box like the Gin Wheel? Made by Bombay Sapphire East Gin and design firm Avro|KO, it’s a portable serving tray that puts [...]

  Clipless Mounts Your Phone Onto Clothes, Flat Surfaces

  GADGETS

  Phone mounts and holsters come in all shapes and sizes for a variety of purposes.  And while they often work, they’re also frequently bulky and too specialized to a single function.  Clipless changes that. A magnet-based mounting system, it comes in two variants: one for mounting phones onto clothing and another for mounting it across flat surfaces.  That way, you can have a single, unified solution for attaching your phone to your shirt, jacket or pants, as well as your [...]

  Zero Motorcycles MMX Is An Off-Road Bike For Special Forces Clandestine Missions

  WHEELS

  Electric vehicles are not just for eco-conscious consumers, their quiet operation makes them ideal for military applications, too.  And that’s why the US Special Forces commissioned Zero Motorcycles to develop the MMX, the military’s next off-road stealth motorcycle. Going silently off-road isn’t the two-wheeled vehicle’s only special talents either:  it can also operate while submerged in water up to one meter deep, as well as possessing clandestine blackout capabilities (it comes with infrared lighting systems for use when the rider [...]

  +Pool Will Put A Public Pool In The Middle Of NYC’s East River

  SIMPLY COOL, TO DO

  I’ve always thought Kickstarter is the best place to raise funding for ridiculously ambitious and off-the-wall ideas, which is why it’s a little disappointing to see so few of it and so many of erstwhile humdrum projects.  The New York-based +Pool  (pronounced as PlusPool) definitely embraces the crazy, though, with its grand plan of putting up a public swimming pool that floats on the river, so you can swim “in the river” without actually coming in contact with dirty river [...]

  Shake Bag Is Like Having A Sand Proof Beach Tote

  FASHION, SIMPLY COOL

  There’s no escaping it: when you hit the beach, you come home with sand in your bag, littered over everything you stashed in there.  Unless, of course, you hit the beach carrying a Quirky Shake Bag. A women’s tote bag, it comes with a mesh bottom that automatically lets out those tiny grains of sand, so none of them gets stuck inside.  Whether the sand gets kicked in there accidentally or came attached to the Hi Sun Beach Blanket you [...]

  GADGETS

  Hey, even your door locks are going digital, so why not your street signs, right?  That can soon be a reality with Points, a signage system that turns erstwhile street signs into high-tech information hubs. Created by Breakfast NY, it looks like a regular street sign at first glance, complete with a post holding up directional signs that’s meant to sit at intersections around the city.  Instead of fixed signage, though, it uses digital displays that can change their message [...]

  RinseKit Portable Shower Weighs Just 15 Pounds, Comes With Pressurized Water

  GADGETS, SPORTS

  The RinseKit isn’t the first portable outdoor shower we’ve seen.  In fact, it’s not even the most compact.  However, we do admire its perfect combination of compact size, utility and affordable pricing. Made by OutSol, it’s a high-pressure mini-shower that you can use to give yourself a relaxing spray of water the same way you like it at home (well, minus the Bluetooth speaker in the shower head).  Whether you’re camping by the lake, chilling in the beach or just [...]

  Houdini Puzzle Lock Looks Interesting

  ENTERTAINMENT, GADGETS

  That Electronic Padlock you use to hold your locker shut in the gym probably works as good as any.  But will it work as awesomely as a padlock armed with magic?  Yeah, I thought so.  You might want to trade that in for these Houdini Puzzle Locks. We have no idea what these locks have to do with Houdini, but we guess he’s as good a name to associate as any — he’s the one who made a living escaping [...]

  WalkBag Backpack Transforms Into A Beach Blanket

  SIMPLY COOL, TO DO

  Bringing a blanket along for a little night swimming at the public pool or a picnic in the park can be a hassle.  It’s big and thick and takes a huge amount of space in your day bag.  The WalkBag solves this problem by creating a blanket that also doubles as a backpack so you’ve got one less thing to worry about carrying. In bag mode, it’s a mid-sized rucksack/duffel bag with a zipper closure, which should allow you to [...]

  Analog Clocktail Puts A Giant Clock Under Your Coffetable

  FURNITURE, HOME

  We keep a special place in our hearts for analog clocks.  Even though we have the time on every piece of household electronics these days (heck, even my electric fan shows the time), having a huge clock somewhere around the house still makes sense somehow.   If you like to keep a small clock on the coffee table, too, why not trade that in for this Analog Clocktail Table. Instead of putting a clock on the table, it puts a clock [...]

  Sony PS4 Finally Shown Off

  ENTERTAINMENT, GADGETS

      While Sony announced the Playstation 4 a while ago, they held back from actually showing what the new console looks like.  The company finally saw fit to end the speculation and show off the upcoming next-gen gaming rig. As you can tell, a lot of the previous leaks were off, as the final product is actually a tad bigger than the current-gen PS3 Slim.  It retains the two-toned black body, as well as the physical orientation, which allowed [...]

  Pagani Zonda Revolucion Brings 800 HP, Super-Aggressive Styling

  WHEELS

  For over a decade, the Pagani Zonda has reigned as one of the most desirable exotics in the supercar scene.  If we’re going to believe Pagani, the Pagani Zonda Revolucion will be the last version in the long line.  Of course, they also said the same thing about the Zonda R and the Zonda Tricolore, so maybe take that with a grain of salt.  If it is the last of the breed, though, then it’s one way to end the [...]

  Kitchen Safe Uses Time Lock To Restrict Access To Tempting Foods

  GADGETS, HOME

  Having a hard time disciplining yourself in the kitchen?  We can relate.  It’s not that easy to resist the temptation of that “one last cookie” or “just one more tiny piece of chocolate,” after all.  The Kitchen Safe is a gadget intent on holding you to your saner decisions. A food-safe jar, it looks like any other kitchen container with its chunky body and screw-on lid.  Unlike them, though, the lid won’t just come off any time you get the [...]

  Hot Tub Cinema: Soak In A Tub, Grab A Popcorn, Watch A Movie

  ENTERTAINMENT, TO DO

  Watching a big screen movie while plopped down on a comfy recliner in your private IMAX Theater sure is fun.  But is it as fun as watching the same film while soaking in a large bathtub with half a dozen friends in a rooftop overlooking the city?  Well, you can find out for yourself with the Hot Tub Cinema. Basically, it’s like a drive-in theater, but with hot tubs instead of cars.  And, no, the tubs are provided in the [...]

  Max Zorn’s Packing Tape Art

  ART

  Packing tape is great — it seals your boxes shut and keeps them that way until somebody takes a chainsaw key to slice it open.  Turns out, the humble utilitarian tape can also make for excellent art pieces and Max Zorn shows us how with his Packing Tape Art. Being the largely uncultured (and oftentimes drunk) fellow that I am, I haven’t really been exposed to tape art before.  As such, these incredibly gorgeous creations, which come out as sepia-toned, [...]
