If you're as lazy as I am then you know how annoying it can be holding a book. Well Skymall is selling an innovation that must have been years in development. It is a piece of crap on wheels that looks like a lamp, but holds a book! And it's only $165. I mean it may look awful, but who cares, look at the... | More →

The Delft University of Technology has developed the first solar powered mouse. It only charges on actual sunlight, so there is question as to whether the mouse can be implemented in real world work environments. According to the University, its success depends on: a lot of factors, including the willingness of the user to adapt his behavior to favorable light conditions by regularly charging... | More →

I assume you remember being glued to the computer waiting for a new episode of Game Room to drop, because I know I was. I can't believe that was eight years ago - where has all the time gone (besides to a handful of fruitless marriages)? Regardless, the show was a piece of awesome, and Classic Game Room the DVD is dropping August 28th... | More →

This computer was made for an Electronic Arts FIFA '07 competition that took place in Germany, the winner taking home the rig. All I can see is that it's pretty freaking awesome. I mean it has a miniature foosball table on top - you can't beat that. I've got tons of respect for this guy, because I know how difficult good computer modding can... | More →

Well for all of you out there that have given up on ever getting laid, there may be hope yet. You might at least get to see one more naked lady in your life (besides your mother), and for you it's the USB powered stripper (of course you'll have to scrape her painted bikini off first with your car keys)! For 169,00 DK you... | More →

The Department of Homeland Security is funding research for a flashlight developed by Intelligent Optical Systems for use as a potential nonlethal weapon. According to Robert Lieberman, CEO of the company, The flashes temporarily blind a person, as any bright light would, and the light pulses, which quickly change both in color and duration, also cause what Lieberman calls psychophysical effects. These effects, whose... | More →

If you're anything like me, you like to be up to date on the latest trends in cell phone technology. Well this isn't one of them - it is however, I guess, an innovation of some sort - but I can safely say there will be no trend. Some kid who obviously grew up watching way too many Batman and Spiderman cartoons invented a... | More →

This gameshow is part of the reason I'm moving to Japan. It's just way cooler over there. I mean they don't even KICK the contestants in the privates, they built a machine to do it. BRILLIANT! It seems that THIS is closest American equivalent, and it just looks, um, like nothing I would be caught participating in (I don't do elephant walks either). I... | More →

You may have already seen this because you're much hipper than I am, but you're not more attractive. Captain Handsome bows to no one in the good looks department. Anyways, someone has developed a technology that allows hidden messages to be printed on shirts, and only show up through a digital camera. According to the company, Kameraflage is possible because digital cameras see a... | More →

Michelin has developed a new airless tire that looks pretty freaking sweet - the Tweel. Tires without air you say? I didn't believe it myself (and still don't really), but allegedly they're real. Tweel you say? Yeah, about that. They look more like Bladez, or Razorz to me. Or maybe just Batmobile wheels. But whatever the case, they still have a long way to... | More →

If you've never heard of Buggy Rollin, it's basically an aerodynamic plastic suit outfitted with inline skate wheels so you can skate in any way imaginable: on your back, on your stomach, on your feet, etc. Anyway, after the jump is a Buggy Rollin suit piloted by a guy named Jean-Yves Blondeau racing down a mountain against a 600cc motorcycle. And if you couldn't... | More →

The Piss-Screen is a pressure-sensitive inlay for urinals that lets you play a game with your pee. It was designed for bars so people would take a taxi instead of driving home drunk. The game is modeled after Need for Speed so that people end up crashing if their reaction is too slow. After crashing, the game flashes the message: "Too pissed to drive?... | More →

I'm not an expert on great TV, but I'm pretty sure Olivia Munn deep throating a hot dog dipped in mustard qualifies. As would be me juggling live sharks. Or walking around topless. Or basically just any shot of me. NOTE: If you don't know who Olivia Munn is, she's one of the hosts on G4's Attack of the Show.... | More →

So someone has developed a hiccup cure that looks a lot like a milkshake. Call me old fashioned, but the "OH MY GOD THERE'S A SHARK IN THE BOAT!" scare tactic has never done me wrong. And if that doesn't work I'll typically let weight lifters punch me in the stomach until I laugh so hard they go away. You know, now that I... | More →

I thought being married to a supermodel was my dream come true, but I would kick her to the curb with not so much as bus fare to get my hands on this puppy. I called up LucasArts and offered a cool million to get a copy before the end of THIS summer (it's not dropping until Summer 2008), but they told me it... | More →

One of my biggest problems with LAN parties is trying to focus on killing ogres while all the hot gaming chicks are trying to get up on me. Well, you wrap your unit in the new Computer Dust Cover Mod and you can kiss getting laid (ever) goodbye. Who needs computers with viewing windows and blinking lights and cables when your computer can give... | More →

As an executive on the go, time management is a very important factor in my daily life. After critical examination I realized there was one time during the day where I was really not utilizing my time to the fullest- in the car, driving! Sure I could dictate notes to my personal secretary, but more often than not she is busy doing, er...something else.... | More →

Nothing says "My life is way better than yours" than a rumpus room with a television that puts all your friends' to shame. To be the best, now is the time to strike- with Fujitsu's new 231 inch display. Granted 1. it won't fit in your rumpus room or on the lawn 2. the max resolution is 512 x 288 (you have to sit... | More →

Sadly, this would still probably be better than 90% of the video game movies out there. Although it can't compare to the film I made about Solitaire. I basically filmed myself having sex with two women at once. In retrospect, it wasn't really anything like Solitaire at all. | More →

Once again my intellectual property has been stolen, this time by LG Philips for use in their new displays. They have filed a patent application (using the technology pilfered from yours truly, Captain Handsome) for displays that use oil and water inside the pixels. According to the company, their scientists have come up with a new way to illuminate pixels on a flexible display.... | More →

This guy built a fully functional Guitar Hero controller out of Legos. He says: This is a custom guitar controller for the game Guitar Hero, modeled after a Gibson Explorer guitar, with an extra large scratch-plate for style. I gutted the real controller and put the electronic boards in the lego case, so it actually works, too So does making something out of Legos... | More →

I'm not sure if this is considered art, but the guy who made these glass keys refers to them as an "installation." Anyway, this is a set of glass keys the artist made out of resin. And, uh, that's it. I don't know if they'd actually function as keys (seems like resin/glass would wear down easily) but at least they look cool. I'd make... | More →

Artist Cayetano Ferrer created a "transparent" billboard by photographing the trees hidden by a 30-foot billboard in Daejeon, Korea and then pasting the image onto the billboard. He purposely removed a section of the billboard and put the missing piece of the image on another smaller billboard nearby. And in related news, I was supposed to put up a life-size picture of my wang... | More →

Say hello to the world's greatest comb-over. Usually I just recommend people paint their heads with shoe polish, but this works pretty good too. | More →

Instructables has a nice tutorial on how to create motorized skates using a pair of inline skates, an angle grinder, and a bag of 12 volt batteries. And just how safe are these? Well instead of brakes, this is how you stop: In this version, I just put trust in my sense of balance and lifted my foot off the ground while flailing to... | More →
