Make your spittle more “comfortable”: No Spill Spit Cup

Saturday, January 31st, 2009

Usually, I don’t like people who spit. Actually, spitting it’s the most disgusting thing you can do in front of me. My friends know this detail and sometimes they try to be funny while I’m eating. My stomach cursed them many times.

There are guys in the world who are training their spittle for contests. While digging through the internet, I found one guy who won a contest after spitting 35 watermelon seeds into a paper cup in just five minutes. Also, I’ve found tutorials for people who wants to improve their speed and accuracy on doing this obnoxious thing.

Price: $14,40.

For those who want some style for their cars: GPS Ferrari Edition

Friday, January 30th, 2009

gps ferrari edition

If you could think of one word to describe a GPS, what would it be? If I say “Ferrari”, it might not be the right word, and people are bound to say I’m a little bit crazy. I admit one of my dreams is to own a car like this but if you want to buy me a GPS I advise you to chose something else. Not because I don’t like it but because it won’t fit on my car.

The Ferrari Traffic Assist Pro is nice looking (like almost all Ferrari’s products), it has a 4.3″ touchscreen, map data for Europe and United States, Bluetooth handsfree set, telephone and address book, lane info assistant etc.

Now go and buy the adequate car for this gadget! More details here, via.

Price: $535

Do you hate your boss? Use the Accel Sound Pedal

Friday, January 30th, 2009

I’ve never been an ass-kisser. Actually, I prefer to work alone because I hate superiors. If they ever start complaining about their employees’ attitude, it’s obvious they have a problem. Let’s face the truth, is there anyone who ever felt frustrated because he did the best for his job and his boss did nothing but complain? Put two fingers up please.

I had moments in my career when I wanted to have a magic wand to close my boss’s mouth. Tell me! Would you literally ever kiss your boss’s ass for a promotion?! I never did such a thing.

When anger goes out of control, I suggest you to buy the Sound Accel Pedal. Step the pedal and you’ll feel like Michael Schumacher at Maranello. Imagine you’re driving and your boss is just crossing the street. Three levels of engine humming (loud, louder and loudest) will surround you depending on how you step the pedal.

The gadget is battery-powered and it costs $30. Ah, the device was invented by a Japanese guy stressed out by his boss.

I wish I could have seen the Knight Rider R/C car when I was a kid

Thursday, January 29th, 2009

knight rider r/c

Tell me of one little boy who would reject your offer to buy him an R/C car! Oh, nowadays children are freaking me out and be sure I will bet my monthly income for 2 out of 10. The others are keen on computers, iPhone and chewing gum.

I wish I could’ve lived these days when I was 6. Nothing compares (yes, like the song) to the Knight Rider R/C car. Not even the real one. I think it’s the perfect gadget for my future son! But, of course, I’ll play with it a little before!

Price: $49.95

BlackJack handsfree, no hands, no earpiece

Thursday, January 29th, 2009

blackjack handsfreeFellas! I’m writing about BlackJack for one reason. If one of my best friends would have known about this device years ago, maybe he would have had more days on Earth.

I’m not encouraging people to use their phones while driving, but this gadget is awesome. Because I am not used to handsfree devices and I really like to feel the phone over my ear… I simply recommend BlackJack especially to people who don’t own a Bluetooth cell phone.

Sometimes they forget to connect the handsfree properly before they start driving. Sometimes the speaker is not so useful and you can’t understand what the caller is trying to say. So, I find this gadget as the perfect low budget solution. Let’s say the “no bending over the phone and handsfree solution” (as I like to advise my friends).

blackjack handsfreeBlackJack handsfree turns your radio into a handsfree kit. Just plug the device into your cell phone, switch your FM frequency to 88.7 MHz and then you can make your calls. BlackJack has a fine microphone that transmits your voice very well, and the caller’s voice will come through your car speakers. It also plays your phone stored MP3s.

Battery’s lifetime: approximately 50-hour talk time.

Price: $39,99

I am your father while the car is moving

Thursday, January 29th, 2009

darth vader car gadgetI can’t say I’m a Star Wars fan, but I laughed out loud when the Darth Vader car gadget showed up in front of my eyes. Especially because, while your car is moving, the little figurine makes some noise.

I wonder how the dark lord will feel if the car goes into a ditch? Probably I’ll say the F-word and he will answer “I am your father!“. Or if my car battery can’t provide enough energy to start the lights the lord will tell me something along the lines of “Do not underestimate the power of the dark side!“.

The catch line for car crash is “I find your lack of faith disturbing!“.

Anyway I found Darth Vader version 1.0 funny. The price to have your car as a deadly X-Wing is £7.04.

Deer and animal whistle prevents car accidents

Wednesday, January 28th, 2009

As you know, all of us have problems with animals when we drive. A dog may appear out of the blue in front of your lovely 20000 or more dollars car and you can’t avoid the waste of time, because of the broken front bumper. More than that, the dog is dead, which is not the best option and your time is precious.

Last year I had several problems with dogs barking at my wheels. I don’t know if they like how the wheel spins at 60 MPH or they’re just stressed out. Let’s say “the dog” is the best thing that could happen to you, but if “the dog” transforms into “a cow” or “a deer”, what will you do? Wings damaged, windshield broken and why not, your head stuck in the steering wheel?

For those who had accidents in the past that involved animals, I have found the solution: “Deer and animal repellent warning whistle air activated”! I don’t know if i ever found such a helpful gadget for me. From now on, imagine a safe drive without smacking dumb animals on the road!

deer and animal whistle

Deer Warning Whistles alert animals in the area you are driving and fits all trucks, motorcycles and cars. Vehicle must be moving faster than 35 MPH to operate. They say it’s easily removed for cleaning and it’s tiny. All at just $7.95.

Get in gear with your new cufflinks

Monday, January 26th, 2009

So many “designed for car lovers” products are too tacky and in-your-face, it makes a nice change to see something subtle.

The 5 Speed Auto Cufflinks are “Italian-inspired” (though it’s just a gear shift, what’s so Italian about that?), set in a rhodium silver frame and conservative enough to not get you in trouble at the office while still setting you apart from the rest.

They usually retail for $59.99, but you can get them now for a more affordable $28.99.

Receipt.Catcher helps airheads organize their car expenses

Tuesday, January 20th, 2009

If you had to produce a gas receipt from last month, would you be able to find it in less than 15 minutes? For most people, it’s a big NO. The gloves compartment is usually a big black hole where papers go in, but never come out.

The Receipt.Catcher is supposed to help, but you need some willpower to begin with: you have to put receipts in the right compartment when you get them. The organizer only provides the means: six labeled compartments, plus a mileage log in case it’s difficult to remember exact how much you drive every day.

The best part: it won’t cost you a lot. Retails for $7 on Amazon.com.

Wheel USB hub powers your gadgets, doesn’t speed off the desk

Friday, January 16th, 2009

Aren’t car-shaped USB hubs good enough for you? You can now get parts of a car to serve as a hub.

This Wheel 4-port USB hub comes from Japan, so don’t expect to understand what the product website says, but the basics are clear: it’s shaped like a car wheel, has 4 ports, can be useful for people who need to plug in large objects (due to the space between the ports) and… well, you can only probably get it if you travel to Japan, but it will match your car mouse pad and car mug and car carpet very well.
