Elliptical Machine Office Desk – train, work, burn, collapse…?

We’ve heard of folks having to burn the candle at both ends, working round the clock while giving 2000%, but there are times when we feel things are getting a little out of hand, if you know what we mean. Surely there’s a limit to the amount of pain that should be inflicted on employees in the name of profit health?

The Kranium cardboard helmet will make it safer for bicyclists

As surprising as it sounds, a prototype bike helmet design made of cardboard has been picked up and is now available at bicycle shops in the UK. The Kranium cardboard bicycle helmet, designed by Royal College of Art student Anirudha Surabhi, has been picked up German security devices manufacturer Abus and is now available as the Kranium AKS 1 helmet. The helmet’s honeycomb cardboard structure – dubbed “Dual Density Honey Comb Board,” or D2 is reportedly 15 percent lighter than…

InaTrap Electronic Insect Killer – say goodbye to the buzz-buzz sting… [Review]

Some people do not believe in soul-sucking demons. They do not think it is possible that some entity could float up to you and begin to suck the life force from your body. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but these demon creatures exist – we call them *mosquitoes*. Fortunately the folks at InaDays and Acase have created a nice and attractive demon exorcism machine that they have packaged as a giant night light.

Biolite Stove Portable Grill Coming Soon

Looks like the Biolite people haven’t been sitting around twiddling their thumbs since their Biolite Camp Stove was released. We quite liked it, and now they’ve just announced a portable grill is in the works and soon to be released. It looks like just the ticket for grilling fish or sausages or even hamburgers. Now I might just have to do a Biolite cooking review. No more information except the above photo, so stay tuned! [Via Biolite]

Lumio is a real page-turner

When you’re reading a book in the evenings, there comes a point where you need to turn on a light. If you love to read, you probably have a lamp near your bed, chairs, and any other spot that becomes a reading nest. Should your love of text-based knowledge be a tad on the excessive side, why not get a book that is also a light source?

Touch Control Mood Light – color me happy!

Light can affect you in many different ways. Sometimes it can be overbearing and irritating, warm and comforting, or soothing. There are many times that you want your environment to reflect how you’re feeling, and the easiest way to do that is with colored light.

Campfire Cologne smells of forests and woodsmoke

Have you ever been to a bonfire? There’s lots of singing and roasting marshmallows, and then you catch a whiff of what you smell like: smokey wood. It seems funny that such a silly smell would be so popular, but it has now been turned into a cologne, so I suppose that means it’s well-liked.

Yeah Pad 7 Inch Ultra Cheap Android Tablet – is it worth $50 or should we buy more cat food instead? [Review]

The world is suddenly awash with tablet computers, and not just awash, but swamped by a sea (enough water?) of ultra cheap models. Every day the price reduces and/or more performance and features are added in for the same price. But are these bottom of the pile products actually worth investing in, or should they be treated like angry drunk polar bears, and avoided at all costs? We take a look at one to find out.

TokyoFlash Kisai Maze (review) – Get lost in time

What can be said about a watch? It is rugged, with the ability to stand being underwater and be dropped a time or two? Or could it be fashionable, receiving a plethora of compliments everywhere you go. Any way you look at it, this is a device that tells time. What would you do if the word used to describe your watch was confusing? The TokyoFlash Kisai Maze will tell you the time, but you’ll have to learn of its…

Sound Cylinder gives you sound in the round

Have you ever found that the speakers on your device are just not powerful enough? You strain to hear movies and music, cupping your hands, or propping it up on something where the sound will bounce back a bit more, but nothing works. The solution is another, more powerful speaker, but that means you lose the use of a USB port, and you have to find a place to sit it.

Tempo Drop can tell you the future…maybe

If you’re like me, you forget to check the forecast before you walk out the door. What starts out as a sunny day doesn’t always end up as one, and it’s no fun being caught in a downpour. Try as you may, it’s hard to get in the habit unless it’s sitting right in front of your face. While you may not be able to predict weather 100% accurately, it doesn’t mean you can’t try.

Hard Drive iPhone Cover – let your inner geek spring free

How badly do you want to declare your love for technology to the world? Are you, like a weekend nerd? Only comfortable with basement games of D&D with very close friends? Or are you a more flagrant abuser, shamelessly flaunting your geekiness to the winds?

Pill Box GPS Tracker – track down those stolen drugs

Word on the street has it that drug thefts from pharmacies and stores is on the increase, fuelled by an insatiable demand for pills to treat our mounting list of ailments. We’re talking 25 million doses a year in the US alone, disappearing from shelves and cabinets. That’s a lot of pills.
