Ever crack a fresh brewsky only to realize you’d rather drink the two brothers, jack and john? The last thing you wanna do is let it go to waste, but unlike bottles you can’t reverse the opening process. Enter the Quick Top Can Cap. It attaches to any regular sized soda or beer can and [re]creates an ‘airtight sealed chamber so the delicious fizz stays fresh for days’. But it doesn’t stop there. The cap doubles as a cup or coaster, and provides a spout for easy pouring.
File this one under nuts. Mimicking that of a hamster wheel, the conceptual design puts a handful of rooms in a giant wheel like device. As you turn the wheel - looks like it takes some leg power - and alter its orientation it changes its functionality. In other words, turn it 180 degrees and the kitchen becomes the ceiling and the floor the living room. Hey, it might be viable in a really long tube like design. Ideal for NYC living where you often feel like a rodent anyway.
Just like the infomercial says, don’t spend hundreds on high end motion detecting light systems, get the Motion Bulb. Built into the tip of the bulb is a small motion detector. The detector is only active if there isn’t enough ambient light (you can control this) and activates the bulb when it detects ‘temperature changes’. Once you leave its 25 foot-detecting-radius the bulb turns off within 10 seconds to 5 minutes, it just depends on your preference. It’s makers are touting it as energy saving, but at $19 it sure as hell ain’t money saving.
‘Small and sleek’ and you’ve got me sold. The Futuro Solo handset is a VoIP compatible handset designed for the business traveler. Embedded in its back is a retractable cord management system and as you can see from the pics it fits snuggly in the palm of your hand.

First and foremost watch the video. It’s pretty amusing…amusing because the guy in the video couldn’t be any more obvious about reading off a quecard. Nonetheless, the Zoomswitch is a useful product for those that switch between Skype and regular landline calls, or simply want to listen to their computers audio on one headset. It connects through a standard telephone jack and USB plug, and should work with most headsets. Unfortunately, I don’t see any Bluetooth connectivity.
Don’t be mistaken, this isn’t a converter. In fact, its a gag gift for those friends that have a death grip on the gold old analog cassette. The faux cassette tape, yes fake, actually hides a 64MB USB drive. The idea behind this ingenious gift is that you fill the memory stick ala mix tape style, write the songs on the cassettes included paper fold out and give it to your favorite crush.
Yes, the list grows. What list you ask? Well, we’ve seen the Beer Belly, the Wine Rack, the Barnoculars and now there’s the Sandal Flask. Actually, they’re made by Reef (THE sandle maker) and called the Dram Sandal. Embedded in the sole of the sandal is a 3oz screw-capped polyurethane compartment for holding a liquid of your choice. Expect a few odd looks for sipping from your footwear.
Achieving the perfectly chilled white, or room temepartured red can make or break a wine’s flavor. The Wine Thermometer neatly adhears to the bottle as if its part of it. Battery life lasts approximately 2000 hours and included are ideal wine temperature instructions.
