FlapFlap Floor Lamp

There are a lot of creative and scary lamp, fountains, and prank toys that are very deceiving in that they look like they�re going to fall over. This was designed by Bruno fur Form in Germany and looks a bit like it’s doing a hand stand…well…lamp…cord..stand?

Wind-up AA batteries seem like a terrible idea

We’re always looking for new ways to charge our mobile gadgets. Wind, sunlight, fuel cells, you name it. These all seem to rely on an external device pushing power to a rechargeable battery.

Post on Twitter using Morse code

There are very few ways in which Twitter can be made more available to us. We already have it programmed into our phones, on our computer, and we have our friends tweet for us if we don�t have our own tech around. There are some of us though, who want to go back to the way things were. A simpler, yet much more difficult time that had Morse code dots and dashes to get letters out bit by bit instead…

Kackel Dackel is the strange game where you pick up dog poo

We had some pretty weird games when I was a kid. From elaborate ways to trap a mouse to one where you tried to sneak around and not wake your dad. However, this Kackel Dackel may very well take the cake. It’s a children’s game that revolves around a Dachshund eating food, and pooping. You have to wonder who comes up with this sort of thing. I mean, I can’t ever remember a time where I enjoyed cleaning up after…

Wasabi Alarm uses smell to wake the hearing impaired

I’m the kind of person that wakes up at the smallest of sounds. Simply the squeaking of my bedroom door can have me sitting straight up in bed. This is a useful trait, especially for someone who has roommates that might harbor the ideas of pranking them. It also means that in case of a fire, I’ll no doubt be the first one to wake up. Unfortunately not everyone wakes up so easily. Some people can sleep right through a…

Tweetwrap lets you cover your gifts in tweets

It seems that custom wrapping paper is in style this year. First we had the terribly-named QRapping Paper, now Samsung (of all people) has started offering Tweetwrap. As the name implies, this wrapping paper relies on Twitter for your customization. You can specify a keyword or username to populate the Twitterific pattern on your paper. Apparently the paper is part of a promotion for one of Samsung’s laptops, however, the paper itself seems far more interesting. It is a little…
