Take a Dump. Clean Your Clothes.

Posted by Andrew G.R. as Cool Stuff

The WashUP concept, created by Sevin Coskun, stacks a washing machine on top of your toilet. Let me start off by telling you that the toilet water doesn't clean your clothes. In fact, it's the exact opposite. The water that's used in the washing machine is stored for later use to eliminate your waste. PROS: - Water conservation. Instead of just flushing all of that perfectly good H2O away, it can be used in a practical manner. - The washing machine takes up less space, utilizing an often unused piece of real estate in your home - the area above your toilet. - Loading and unloading is easier due to the upright nature of the WashUp. No more bending over to move ...

Ride Motorized Bike. Save World.

Posted by Andrew G.R. as Science

Teasing folks since 2006 is RevoPower, creators of The Wheel, an after-market addition to your bicycle, enabling you to utilize a small motor to drive forward. Topping out at around 17mph, and getting approximately 250 miles per gallon, The Wheel has the potential to revolutionize the way people travel.

Interchangeable Lenses on a Digital Point-and-Shoot Camera?

Posted by Andrew G.R. as Editorial

Often this blog tells you about the latest and greatest gadgets and gizmos that are either just hitting shelves or soon to be released. Well today I need YOU to give me a better understanding of something... Recently, I listed my home with a real estate agent. Part of the selling process is taking pictures of each room to be posting on a Website. None of the rooms are humongous, and I found myself having trouble capturing multiple walls with my point-and-shoot digital Canon. What I needed was some type of wide-angle lens. Since I don't to shell out the money for (or learn how to use, for that matter) a camera with interchangeable lenses, I figured there ...

Bluetooth Headsets Get Fashion Makeover

Posted by Andrew G.R. as Bluetooth, Cellphones, Wireless

We've put Swarovski crystals on Macbook Airs and re-skinned our iPhones, so I'm not surprised that an emerging trend is the accessorization of the Bluetooth headset. Clunky, dark and ugly no more! These wireless sensations are about to get all dolled up. The first of what promises to be many in the growing cell phone sector, is the Plantronic Discovery 925. Currently available to celebs only (Eva Longoria Parker and Brooke Shields have been spotted sporting the 925), the general public can expect these headsets to be released in April. Thinner and lighter than most available earpieces, the 925 will initially be offered black, gold and magenta - with nine more flavors to follow. $149 will not only get you good looks, ...

Meet the Invisible Belt

Posted by Andrew G.R. as Accessories

This tech-savvy generation is increasingly turning to bells and whistles to get geekily aroused. But sometimes the best gizmos are low-tech. Case in point, the IsABelt, a virtually invisible adjustable belt that will tighten up those jeans or pants. No more bunching fabric or bulging belt buckles, just streamlined pants that press against your waist, firmly in place. Whether it's your first day on The Biggest Loser or the size of a pencil, isABelt has you covered, offering belts ranging from 28 to 50 inches. At 1/2 an inch wide, the flexible belt appears to virtually disappear when worn. The isABelt was included in the non-winning nominees at the Oscars. Cause as you know, those celebs don't make enough money and need more ...
