Is escaping your home in case of an emergency too easy? Need more of a challenge escaping during a fire? How about adding the Defendius Door Chain from Art Lebedev (maker of the Optimus Maximus). As you can see it's a maze. A maze of death. By fire. No word on price or if the damn thing is even real, but if you really want a challenge trying to get out of the house I'm your man. For $30 I'll stand in the doorway attacking you with a can of mace and taser while you try to get by. Slip me an extra fiver and I'll even bat you in the nuts a few times.

UPDATE: Turns out it was a hilarious April Fools joke! AHAHAHAHHA. So funny. *wipes tear* Thanks a lot Jack, you dick.

Thanks to Jack (not the island guy), who can solve mazes and word searches in record time, for the tip

Mar 13 2008 Optimus Mini 3 3.0 Keypad From Art Lebedev

Art Lebedev is now working on a follow up to the (popular?) Optimus Mini 3 keypad, the illegitimate little sister of the Optimus Maximus Keyboard. Just like its much bigger brother, the Mini has dynamic OLED buttons that can be changed according to the needs of your presentation. Updates from 2.0 include wirelessness (the other one wasn't?) and possibly some AC power. Now this is neat an all, but I think it's about time a company put something actually useful into a presentation clicker. You're thinking what I'm thinking aren't you? Hell yeah -- a powerful burning laser beam! That way when the ass-clowns in the back of the meeting start monkeying around during a lull in your Powerpoint you can kill them -- with your clicker! I think this is really going to take multimedia presentations to a whole new level. That level being, uh, laserly homicide.
