Honda's U3-x

First there was the bicycle, then the unicycle, and then there was the Segway. So, what happen when you combine the Segway's counterweight components with a unicycle? You get the Honda's new personal mobility device, the U3-x. Just imagine yourself cruising around the office on this contraption.

If we do start seeing the U3-x in and around the office building, we'll have to start making traffic lanes. Besides the aesthetically pleasing curves and its compact size maybe they should think about adding blinkers on them as well.

Using the package

Who needs turntables when you have cardboard? GGRP Sound has come up with a brilliant way to play records: with the record sleeve. The needle-embedded carboard package folds up to hold a 45rpm in place, making sound while you spin it with a pencil. Instead of outputting to a speaker, the vibrations go through the needle and into the cardboard. Thats what I call using the whole package.

Gloves For your Feet?

Vibram Five Fingers has to be one of the weirdest products. I have to concur that I do like running naturally and bare foot. As I'm a person who likes to exercise I might have to try these sometime. But I don't think they have much protection against a falling weight at the gym

Researchers teach liquid to flow, uphill?

Another day, another experimental CPU cooling method that may or may not come to pass. We've seen "thermal paste" from IBM and polyethylene from MIT, and now researchers at the University of Rochester have developed a method for coaxing water along nanometer-scale grooves carved into silicon. So hydrophilic are the patterns that water will even flow against gravity (and we've got the video to prove it). Not only are the structures so precise and nondestructive that the surface feels smooth to the touch, but they also trap photons, according to The New York Times, "so the grooved silicon appears pitch-black." And who knows? Maybe your next PC will be cooled by streams of water flowing freely inside the case. It's a nice image, anyways. Peep the video after the break to see it in action for yourself.

Rudy Heeman puts a new spin on the Hover Craft

I was wondering if the hover craft would remain in the past. Good thing we have people like Rudy Heeman. Thank you for giving the hover craft a new way to get around. Maybe a new water on land sport could come out of this conceived concept.

Some weird and unusual products brought to you by Japan.

One surely can't miss their eyes when putting in eye drops.
What if you blink? another feature that they'll have to think about.


I don't know whats worse walking around with a red nose and a pocket full of tissue paper or with a roll of toilet paper on my head.


Because regular water has those unnecessary nutrients.


I think I would get arthritis by the time I'm done eating.


What about those big puddles?


Apply to the fore head.


Don't you dare enter my space.


Warning I have narcolepsy.


Where's my Darth Vader toaster?


Gee I wish I had the other half to hug too.

Why reinvent the wheel?

Have you ever heard the expression "Why reinvent the wheel"?
I have to say it is one of the most annoying sayings ever.
But in this case the question serves a great purpose.

Sponsored by Michelin, Brian Russell, the creator of the "Tweel" has done just that, he has reinvented the wheel.





From now on the question will state "Why reinvent the Tweel"
