Revolutioneyes is an online virtual eyewear mirror which lets you try on your choice of product before you buy. It’s a clever idea, all you have to do is upload your own photo and pick the model and styles you want to test. Now if only they had spent just a little more time on making the Photoshop representations of the products look better, it would be perfect. As it is, 7 out of 10 for the implementation. Looks cool though, don’t he?…

Ear & Hearing Test – wassat, whatyasay…?
Ear & Hearing Test. Neat little freeware tool you can download to test your hearing ear by ear. It’s not a substitute for a proper test of course (so back down Dr Dre) but it’s cool nonetheless. I now know that I’m missing a bit of my top end (*sob*), which probably comes from too many late night Led Zep sessions in the cans. Ah well… Needs .NET. Nice one Johannes! The program is designed to give you a quick…

$1.00 DIY Camera Stabilzer. Interesting video how-to on making your own ghetto camera stabilizer. Not sure how well it will work in practice, but it makes for a fun show. If you’re into video, you’ll want to check out the very cool Poor Man’s Steadicam (which we’ve featured before I think). Tags: $1+camera+stabilizer, video, photography

Garmin Nuvifone. If this GPS, HSDPA, camera toting cell phone with Google local search and image geo-tagged navigation a la NavPix works as well as it looks…watch out iPhone. Just saying… The built-in camera allows individuals to take a picture that will automatically be tagged with the exact latitude and longitude reference of where the image was taken.

Read MoreBoiling water with sound waves? – new invention baffles scientist
A 92 year old New Zealander is claiming to have invented a product which can boil water using sound. The as yet unnamed device, which looks like a smooth silver golf ball, is baffling scientists, or at least one particular professor who’s taken a look. It could of course be a huge prank, but if it isn’t, it’ll be a pretty cool gadget to have in your cubicle or kitchen. This news report video is interesting. [Via Boingboing] A 92-year-old Christchurch inventor…

Here’s three reasons why Peer 2 Peer networking will never go away, no matter what. Link-V. Meet up and beat it up. Truth. iPod2iPod. The family that plays together, stays together. AV Cavey. Shake it like a Polaroid. Tags: p2p, peer+to+peer, networking, file+sharing
Read MoreSuper Zoom – you want to see just how close satellite images can get…?
Super Zoom. Looks like those satellite images from space are coming closer, apparently equivalent to looking out of a 10 story window. I swear I can see a guy picking his nose near HMS Belfast. Yikes. Be prepared for some scary stuff coming down the pipe in the future. The image quality is three times better than Google Maps and Microsoft Live Maps and streets ahead of Multimap. For an average screen resolution, 192.com’s Super Zoom shows 1.5 metres on the ground for…

10 Universities offering free writing courses online. Tell me something. Why do education sites in the USA always *look* like education sites?

Lots of juicy writing courses for you to enjoy and profit from. Go for it! [Via Metafilter] Whether you are a current writer or looking to break into the craft, formal…
Read MoreOpen Domain – free open source web domains for you to use as you wish
Open Domain. What a fascinating idea, chile. An offer of free domains to use for worthy causes (commercial or otherwise) for no charge at all. You don’t get to keep the domains, you can just use them for nothing. No pop-ups, objectionable content, spam, copyright breaking etc. Lovely idea guys! We have many domains that are planned for future development, that due to time constraints, we are unable to use at this time. We are firm believers of the internet…
Read MoreTearDrop Water Resistant iPod Speaker – don’t splash, just listen…
TearDrop Water Resistant iPod Speaker. It’s probably important to state at this point that although these bathroom friendly speakers may be resistant to water, your iPod almost certainly isn’t. So do be careful not to drop it anywhere damp, won’t you? $58.00. A delightful addition to the bathroom ambiance. This imaginative water-resistant iPod speaker is operated on batteries, allowing your favorite music to surround you anywhere you are…bathrooms, kitchens, backyards, or even beaches! Hottest GIFT item in Japan this holiday…
Read MoreWorld Time Zone TV Remote Control Watch – watch shows from countries in different time zones
World Time Zone TV Remote Control Watch. It’s clear that this TV remote control watch offers a lot less than the sum of its total wordage. What does that mean? About as much as the world time zone bevel round the edge of the dial, dear reader. $12.50. This watch can control many kinds of brand TV VCR and DVD. It only needs a CR2032 LI battery to supply the power. When the display is not clear or the control…
Read MorePlantWatcher – new device automatically waters your plants through root suction
PlantWatcher. New gizmo claims to revolutionise unattended plant watering by using a special sensor to deliver just the right amount of H2O for the plant’s needs. It all sounds very clever, and with a single unit delivering enough water for a 12 inch pot plant for a month, very useful. I’d love to try one out and see if it delivers on the promise. Priced from $7.95 for the smallest size pot. Because root demand turns the PlantWatcher on and off,…
