  Diamond Plate Kegerator Cabinet Adds A TV To Your Beer Tap

  ENTERTAINMENT, FURNITURE, HOME

  A beer keg with a flat screen TV right next to the tap is a bad idea in so many ways.  Still, I doubt that’s going to stop people from getting the Diamond Plate Kegerator Cabinet.  So, I’ll just pipe off my warnings and hope someone heeds them before it’s too late. See that brand-spanking new HDTV?  That’s about to get doused in beer and ice.  Mark my words.  Every drunk worth the alcohol content in his brew have spilled [...]

  HOME

  Like to have biscuits with your coffee?  Have less dishes to clean up later with the Dunk Mug, an unusual-looking mug with a place for cookies and biscuits on the side.

  NES Bartop Arcade Cabinet Makes You Rethink What A Kitchen Computer Is Supposed To Do

  GADGETS, HOME

  It’s nice to get an arcade cabinet for your game room. Scoring one with a beer tap on the side (see Arkeg) is even better. Having it in your kitchen counter right next to the fridge where all the beer hides, however, is just sublime. This homemade counter-top Nintendo arcade cabinet just made me drool with envy, not to mention want to spend more time in the kitchen than I normally do. The machine’s guts consist of an old spare [...]

  Cloud Telecomputers’ Glass Platform Puts Android On Your Desk Phone

  GADGETS, HOME

  How do you revive a dying technology?  Put in a low-powered processor, add a touchscreen and install Android in it.  At least, that’s what Cloud Telecomputers is doing with their Glass Platform, an Android-powered desk phone. With large businesses invested in massive landline infrastructures, I doubt it’s really going away soon.  So why not throw in a functional computer to spice it up a bit?  Instead of just making and receiving calls, the Glass Platform lets you read your Outlook [...]

Not a complex machine by any means, the Arkeg houses a five gallon keg with a dispensing system and a functional game-ready PC. Stored inside the cabinet of the arcade box, the keg [...]

  CRISTAL Puts A Visual Universal Remote Control On Your Coffee Table

  GADGETS, HOME

  While designing coffee tables has, generally, been the realm of artistic types, a new contraption might totally change its function in future homes. Instead of being the default surface to set your drinks (and your stinky feet) on, CRISTAL turns it into a universal remote control for your entire living room. The acronym stands for “Control of Remotely Interfaced Systems using Touch-based Actions in living Spaces,” a convoluted name for what’s essentially a coffee table that functions as a central [...]

  FURNITURE, HOME

  Oh, you thought your shelves were cool?  Well, it’s not Donkey Kong cool!

  Hourglass Brewer Takes 24 Hours To Make Your Coffee – Better Be Damn Good

  GADGETS, HOME

  Anytime you leave coffee in the pot for a couple of hours, it usually tastes like stale crap.  That’s why the Coffee Hourglass is so odd, as it promises great-tasting coffee that “brews” for up to 24 hours. Using an unusual hourglass frame, the contraption is designed to coax pure, concentrated coffee from coarsely-ground beans over that time.  As it uses no electricity, the whole process happens naturally and very…..very…..slowly. Each Coffee Hourglass weighs just under 2lbs.  It measures 14 [...]

  Blofield’s Inflatable Furniture Acts Classy, Appears To Succeed

  FURNITURE, HOME

  Inflatable furniture isn’t exactly the classiest thing around.  Dutch company Blofield, however, seems intent on changing that, with their new line of Chesterfield-style chairs and sofas that come complete with a premium price. Instead of the usual playroom and swimming pool uses, the air-pumped furnishings are meant for actual living room installation and has, in fact, earned enthusiastic praise since it debuted in design fairs last year.  According to designer Jeroen van de Kant, the unusual idea took two years [...]
