Dogs have an insatiable urge to gnaw and chew just about anything in sight, from your socks, shoes to your furniture. They don’t mean to do this, it may just have to do with the fact their growing teeth are itchy and gnawing seems to alleviate the pain or itch. Being the ever source of gadgets and gizmos for all, we have a nice addition to an innovative approach to dog feeding and entertaining specially when you’re not home.
Larger breeds tend to suffer from a painful and often deadly condition known as bloat, which has a dog eating too fast that the food they eat produces so much gas and expands in their stomachs effectively choking them from within. Dog Kong, is a dog product which dispenses Kongs(strong doggie toys with hollow insides which you stuff with treats) at prescribed times during the day.

The Contortionist: most portable bike ever!
I find this amazing. The Contortionist is a bike that can be folded into its entire circumference. The entire mechanism somehow folds in between its 24-inch wheels. And it leaves a couple of handles so you can drag the thing around.
From The Gadget Blog:
The inventor? A 24-year-old student from Battersea, London. Dominic Hargreaves was apparently unsatisfied with his folding bike—which collapsed on him—so he set out to design his own, with an emphasis on hardiness. The mechanical reality that makes this gadget work? The front whell, engineered to rotate and reposition to make compactness achievable. I guess the only way you can make it any more compact is if you use smaller wheels or actually engineer folding wheels.

The Music Card MP3 Player will wreak havoc with your love life
Let’s face it, guys. Japan has always been known for their bizarre products, TV shows, commercials, and, well, porn. They also have the tendency to create massively awesome products that change the game – just look at the Playstation and the original Walkman. Finally, they also have a tendency to combine the awesomeness and absurdity of their stuff in ways that we can only barely comprehend.
And we love the them for that.
Japanese gadget maker Strapya is now selling the Music Card MP3 Player, and it’s a credit card-sized mp3 player. I know, the iPod nano’s also small (but not this small, I agree) but does it have external speakers like this baby over here?
Some key specs of the player:
- Dimensions: 5.4×8.6cm, just 5mm thick and weighs 20g.
- Plays MP3 or WMA format
- 2GB internal storage
- 2.5mm audio jack (comes with 3.5mm audio jack adapter)
- Built-in speakers
- 15 hours of playing time using just headphones
- Compatible with PC and Mac
However, there’s a bit of a problem. According to a promotional video on the Music Card MP3 website, this infinitely cool gadget can actually wreak havoc with your love life:
Guess what? I don’t care if this thing will make me die alone and lonely in some basement. I want one!
The Music Card MP3 Player sells for $26.70 and it ships worldwide.
