Brookstone radar pitch baseball

February 20, 2006 by Ben

Brookstone radar pitch

The baseball of Brookstone is designed to measure and display the speed of the throw when it is caught. The radar pitch baseball is good for up to 80feet, and 120MPH. The velocity upon impact shows up on the small in built LCD screen.

The ball is of regulation dimensions and weight, however you cannot strike the ball with a bat, or throw against a brick wall I guess.

One LR44 button cell battery is required to operate the ball, which automatically powers off after two minutes of inactivity.

Yeh pretty cool, I’m sure I would break it though…

TO-261R Number Plate Billboard

February 16, 2006 by Ben

TO-261R Number Plate Billboard

I’ve always wanted something along the lines of a scrolling billboard on the back of my car, so I can send messages to other motorists, and to my delight I stumbled across this today, the TO-261R programmable LED number plate billboard. It has a display area of 120x25mm, seven different speed settings, 4 different messages can be stored, constructed out of stainless steel, and weighs in at 11 ounces, and measure 12�x6.5�x0.5�.

Just push a button on the remote control to change the message showing on the back of your vehicle, perfect for situations where you feel like saying hello to an attractive girl/guy or swearing at some truckie who’s driving while smoking/drinking/eating and driving you into the 3 meter thick concrete wall on the side of the freeway.

Your ipod: not just for pumping up the volume…

Pump Pod\'s graphics

While walking around the cold streets of New York City, I saw posters for Pump Pod.

It is interesting to see how technology and fitness have been melded together for this service. This might be a good alternative for those too cash strapped for a live personal trainer. The ideal audience would probably be traveling executives who have very little time but one of the aforementioned gadgets.

Go retro with a cryptex

January 27, 2006 by J. Angelo Racoma

Cryptex from cryptex.orgNot exactly your high tech gadget, but cryptography buffs and the Da Vinci Code fans might want to check out the Cryptex. Cryptex.org creates customized Cryptexâ„¢ Security Boxes to user specifications.

A cryptex is a cylinder that encloses a scroll with a message inside. The tube has external rings that contain characters (letters or symbols) and rotate to act as a combination lock. Once the rings have been configured with the correct combination, an end of the cylinder opens up to reveal the scroll.

Not very secure by today’s standards, but still a cool gadget isn’t it?

Watch the trailer for the Da Vinci Code movie set to be released this May to catch a glimpse of the cryptex in action.

Binary LED clock

Binary LED clock

I was looking for a new alarm clock / CD player, when I stumbled across this binary LED clock. Ignoring the fact that it has none of the features I was looking for, besides for its ability to tell time (albeit involving using your brain), it looks awesome.

The clock contains 20 LEDs that represent the numbers of both the true and shortened binary sequence (32, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1). The first two columns show the hours, the next two columns show the minutes, and the last two columns show the seconds.
