Combining the most primitive elements discovered at the dawn of mankind, this rolling fireplace from Conmoto wants to go off-roading down your stairs with a passion. From the look of the picture it seems pretty fake but it actually runs off of ethanol and is a real heat source believe it or not.
Imagining some awesome YouTube videos involving bowling and day care centers this fireplace isn’t designed to roll at all. What are we supposed think? Anyway, cool concept and I’d love to mess with one.

Good lord. I am constantly vexed by all these seemingly worthless products making it to the assembly line. Last week we saw the Undead Japanese Warrior controller for the PS3, and this week we have the Fire Breathing Dragon controller for the Xbox 360.
While it looks cool at first glance, shortly upon second glance the question arises about the ergonomics of this controller. Is it comfortable? Even with the removable tail I really don’t think so.
If you care, this Dragon Controller is priced around $29 and is compatible with Windows Vista, XP, 2000, ME and 98 as well as supporting vibration functions.

It broke my heart when I saw all the abandoned animals left behind after the Katrina disaster. I shudder to think how I would feel faced with a decision like that. So while humans have a plethora of survival gear out there this is the first I’m seeing for cats and dogs.
Approved by the Japanese Firefighting Association this flame retardant protective jacket is made from polyester (base cloth), polyurethane (outer shell), fireproof acrylic (lining) and looks like a moon boot. The jacket comes in a variety of sizes and features a briefcase carrying handle seen on pet life jackets.
Packed inside the the jacket are a bunch of essential first aid items for pets and humans including: 50mL sealed water packs for drinking or disinfecting, nutrition bars, bandages, aromatic oil (for calming panic), first-aid gloves, mini-radio, food bowl, muzzle, hermetically sealed odor control bag (for any items distressing the pet), protective rain hood and rubber booties, freezer gel paks (to control heat), bell, waterproof ID capsule with blank paper and an emergency whistle.
What no flare gun?
At a steep price of $480 I’m positive that someone will buy this.

Circuit City might have shut down officially yesterday, but one thing is for sure: The employees, at least the Firedog ones, still have a sense of humor about the whole thing. Who knows, perhaps it’s because they know they’ll get a job with Best Buy’s Geek Squad.
