How many hands does your average clock have? Most have three, while some only have two. But I can’t think of many that have eight. Actually, the KnoWhere Clock would be the only one I can recall seeing with that many hands. The KnoWhere Clock was designed to let you know what time it is in multiple time zones. Thus, it is rather different than most other timepieces. First, it has all 24 hours on its face, rather than just…

Atari is best known for its older titles that have a special place in our memories. Every now and then, we like to revisit our old favorites, but don’t want to have to pull out an ancient gaming system that may or may not work properly. That’s why the Atari Duo-Powered Joystick for the iPad is a great way to relive those olden days without having to deal with old systems. This joystick is a little different from the old…

In the morning, your alarm clock can go off in vain, sounding endlessly, falling upon deaf ears. If you have no immediate reason to wake up, there’s often a good chance that you’re going to ignore the beeping sound. If you had to be awake as quickly as possible, for say, a bomb, I think you’d jump out of bed pretty quick. The rush of adrenaline is a great way to start the day if you like having a heart…

When you think of vacuums, you normally think of an annoying chore that is going to take up a huge portion of your day. If you have the right vacuum, it takes little to no time, and is actually kind of a stress-reliever. Dyson has always been �on the ball� so to speak with highly-efficient carpet cleaning machines. Their most effective and maneuverable products to date were those with the Dyson ball technology. It seems that a new member of…

Every once in a while you come across something on the internet that makes you stop and think �what?� That is exactly what happened when I found this Ant Farm Revolution lamp. Can you guess what it does? That’s right, it’s a translucent ant farm with a light underneath it. When switched on, it projects the shadows of your ant colony onto your ceiling. This strange product comes from the mind of Will Write, creator of The SIMS. I suppose…

There are a number of ways to transfer files between two people on the internet. The most simple is email, though you are severely limited on the size of your attachments. There are other services such as Dropbox that you can use, but I’ve come across a new one that has to be the easiest I have seen. WeTransfer is about as easy as online file transfers get. Just go to the site, upload a file (or multiple files) up…

I like things that server dual purposes, even if one of them is a bit silly. Of course, it has to be just the right amount of silly. A mouse that also serves as a whoopie cushion is probably a bit over the top. However, if I can get an external hard drive that lets me stack LEGOs on it, count me in. This new Zip Zip External Hard Drive (not yet listed on their site, unfortunately) looks like a…

Laser pointers are ridiculously fun, as they can be used for anything from pranks to classroom lectures. Anyone who has ever wanted a laser pointer always has wanted one so bright that they can still see it from extremely far away (and set things on fire). The Spyder III Krypton Laser is likely going to be the brightest laser you’ve ever come across, seeing as it has the capability to leave our atmosphere. For a laser that can beam onto…

As a kid, there were few toys I loved quite as much as my Nerf guns. My brother and I would spend countless hours firing darts at each other both in the house and out. Unfortunately after a time, our supply of darts would get smaller and smaller. Since spare darts cost money, our parents weren’t too keen to replace them, as they would simply tell us to stop losing them. I’ve since learned that money does not actually grow…

There are some mornings that you just can’t seem to pull yourself out of bed. The alarm clock you put on the other side of the room isn’t even high-powered enough to bring you out of your morning fog. For those of us where this is a daily occurrence, you may want to seek out something with a little more oomph. The Sonic Bomb Alarm Clock is sure to jolt you awake faster than the promise of a breakfast of…

If you’ve ever biked during the colder months of the year, you know how important it is to dress appropriately. Lots of layers, a nice hat and some thick gloves are always important. If you’re looking for a way to keep yourself a little warmer whilst biking around town, one option is to get a set of these Heated Ergo Tri Grips. To my knowledge, these are the first heated grips that I’ve seen on the market. With six different…

If that sounds like a problem you’ve encountered before, you might want to check out Tripomatic. Using a Google Maps overlay, this web app helps you plan out your vacation itinerary. Just pick your…

It’s hard to think about being eco-friendly with your gadgets. After all, just owning one isn’t very �green�. Just think of all of the materials that went into constructing your favorite device, and how much energy was used to craft it. Then you go out and by cases and accessories, which will no doubt end up in a landfill someday. The very least you can do is try to occasionally recharge it with something other than a wall outlet. This…

I’m just going to say this now, but I love toast. Being a connoisseur of toast, I have it down to a science. I know exactly where to turn the dial to get that perfect golden brown every time. But for some people, a regular old toaster won’t do. An open faced toaster such as the Bodum Flat Toaster is the only way to go if you want to melt the butter and still have it be warm when you…

I’m sure everyone has seen a funny screenshot of someone’s text conversation showing how amusing autocorrect can be. I can think of a few times where I’ve gotten a good laugh out of my own haste to send a message, only to figure out that autocorrect had its way with one of my words. Well, if you want to have some fun and create some memorable text screenshots without actually sending messages to anyone, you should check out ifaketext. Yes,…
