My roommate absolutely loathes clutter with an undying eternal passion. To help him with that constant anxiety is the Bahem (sounds like a clear your throat noise, probably intended) Clutter Free Storage Table from HotSnow.
Looking an sounding like an IKEA product, the Bahem effectively “pseudo” hides everything but the end of the wire and the connected gadget. Only in the design process as of now, I’m sure this is just the first of many furniture designs to incorporate the never ending cell phone and gadget charging debacle.
Dating has escaped me over the years but I still find this app interesting. Sort of like Googling a person before a first date, DateCheck is your mobile security checkpoint to see if your potential hook-up is an epic dirtbag or not.
Designed and created by an information commerce company titled Intelius you can use someone’s email, name or phone number and can see: if your date has a criminal history, owns real estate, is living with someone they forgot to mention, or they have a penchant for crotch itching STD’s (just kidding on that last part).
I ran my phone number and while my name was listed, no other information was displayed. I think this app needs a lot of work to be actually useful, but it may be fun to futz around with for a minute.
The app is free right now in the App Store. Let us know what you think!
Do you like your Whiskey on the rocks? If so, then you might be interested in the Ice Ball Mold. According to folk lore, and some serious drinkers, the spherical piece of ice melts more slowly then cubes due to their smaller surface area, which means cooler drinks for longer and less water downed flavor.
The device works by molding a chunk of ice. Just heat up the bottom and top pieces in hot water and then insert a piece of ice. Within minutes you’ll have a beautifully crafted piece of frozen water that would even make the tall man jealous.
Course, all this drinking opulence will cost you at least $184, and that’s just for the smallest size. Step it up a bit and you’ll be dropping over $1,000.
While they haven’t been releasing any new Xbox games for quite some time now, Microsoft has finally decided to pull the plug on the online service for the big black box. As of April 15th, Xbox Live will be unavailable on the original Xbox.
What this means is that you’d better get your Halo fix by then and that Microsoft probably has a Halo Collection up their sleeves that they’ll release sometime in the near future to capture some more of your hard earned cash.
Word has it that some updates for the service are on their way and that these older titles are just not compatible. All of this is unsubstantiated and some of these rumblings also include that these new updates/features also have something to do with Project Natal. Your guess is as good as ours.
Consider me sold! The Zoommediaplus iPhone (or iPod Touch) accessory, the zoomIT SD, let’s you access your SD card’s contents right on your iPhone. Just plug the tiny, pocket sized device into your iPhone’s 30 pin connector and whamo, you can play music, video, photos and any file that is compatible with the iPhone right from an SD card. According to iLounge you can even transfer files stored on the SD card to the iPhone’s built-in flash drive. Finally, I can carry my entire music collection on me at all times. And accessing the files is simple as downloading their free iPhone application, the zoomIT app.
Whatever game this is actually controlling, it’s definitely not for the kiddies. Only available from some Russian T-Shirt site called MaryJane, you can choose from a bunch of colors. $42 might seem a bit steep, but considering the application it may be well worth it. Would it have the same effect if a chesty man wore it at the club?
In the days of the Wild Wild West it was imperative that you had a wrist mounted gun. Fast forward to today and gun slinging ain’t the means of survival, but how fast you can adhere your cell phone to your head.
The Wrist Cell Phone Carrier pretty much sums up what is wrong with American society today. A quick flick of the wrist and your cell phone will be in your hand. And for the tween in your household it comes in a leather like pink finish, or black for those of the more serious ilk.

Forget all those expensive iPhone peripherals, like Posimotion’s Helix, especially when you can hack together your own using Lego. This guys even went as far as to utilize Lego’s gears and a mini steering wheel. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look all that accurate but you gotta give him some serious kudos for the ingenuity.
