Lego Printer Uses Felt Tip Pen for Ink!

willburns1 — Tue, 21 Sep 2010 18:29:00 GMT

This has got to be the coolest Lego invention ever. This guy designed,built, and coded it all from scratch including analog motor electronics, sensors and printer driver! He did it just for fun and worked on it for about 3 weeks at night after work. The print was going to have three colors but the inventor had to simplify because he only had four lego motors. The printer can print things at about 75 dots per inch and it prints less than a page per minute.

Back to the Future - T-shirt over at TeeFury

willburns1 — Mon, 20 Sep 2010 19:33:00 GMT

I happen to be a big fan of Teefury, a website that sells one t-shirt for one day only. There are several other good site similar to TeeFury out there like Woot and RIPT, but as far as my tastes go I have bought more shirts from TeeFury than any other site. TeeFury does it again with this "Back to the Future" t-shirt, featuring the text "I drive at 88 MPH just in case!" I of course thought it was hilarious because i'm a big geek that loves "Back the the Future." What could be better? Well maybe a shirt that said 1.21 Gigawatts, but other than that I can't think of anything.

Master Big Chief - Halo T-shirt from RIPT

willburns1 — Mon, 13 Sep 2010 14:55:00 GMT

I have a couple daily t-shirt websites I visit daily and this one caught my eye. I have been a big fan of Halo since the beginning. I sold my Nintendo game cube in order to buy the original Xbox so I could play the first halo game and have never looked back. Halo Reach, the sixth major release of the halo series, comes out tomorrow and is sure to be a big hit. This shirt from RIPT comes at the perfect time. It's time to pull the shades and call in sick it's halo time!

Magnetic Putty - The Blob that Eats Magnets!

willburns1 — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 16:17:00 GMT

This product reminds me of the movie "The Blob", you know that old horror movie where the alien blob takes over a city. When you see this thing absorb the magnet that was the first thing that entered my mind. I happen to really like magnet toys I think they are fascinating. I have a set of the BuckyBalls that I love and have written about before. This little magnet toy is like Silly Putty, but it's magnetic. You most likely need a really strong magnet to see the kind of effect in the video. It's a sure buy for $13.50 and can also be played with just like regular silly putty. You can find it cheaper other places, but keep in mind that the super strong magnet is included at Vat19 and not on other sites.

Googly Eyes Clock - Not the most accurate but Interesting

willburns1 — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 17:42:00 GMT

So this is not the most accurate clock but a bet you people won't even know it's a clock when they see it. Instead of the clock hands moving around the clock face this clock has eyes. The left one is the hour and the right one the minutes. If you are the kind of person that doesn't really need to know exactly what time it is and lives life at your own pace well this clock is perfect. It will tell you about what time it is and that's all you need really. I think the time in the photo above is, what do you think, 10:25 maybe. When anyways who doesn't want a goggly eye clock, am I right?

LCD Peephole Viewer - Your door wants an LCD too!

willburns1 — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 17:50:00 GMT

If you have a peephole installed on your door and you are a bit of a geek like me then this next Geek Gadget is for you. It's a LCD security viewer, it replaces the existing peep hole in doors 1-3/8" to 2-1/4" thick. When someone knocks on the door all you have to do is hit the little button and you are presented with a 2.5” view of the person standing there. Oh sure the standard peephole worked just fine, but why not install a mini LCD on your front door? Am I right? Come on it's common sense!

Amphibious Air Soft Tank – Can shoot from land and sea!

willburns1 — Thu, 27 May 2010 18:38:00 GMT

I have always secretly wanted an air soft tank! I think they are cool, if you are going to have a R/C tank why not have it shoot something am I right? Well not only is this a R/C Tank that shoots Air Soft bullets 20 meters, but you can also drive and control it through water. The wheels fold up into the the top of the tank and allows it to float in water. When you come back to land they unfold and you're off driving around again. Pretty sweet little toy if I do say so myself. I can never have enough R/C toys.

Civet Cat Coffee - Harvested from Poop and Sold to you at Insane Prices

willburns1 — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 14:26:00 GMT

Have you ever wondered what the most expensive coffee in the world is? Well here it is, it's known as Kopi Luwak and only about 500 Kg of it is harvested every year. Why only 500 Kg? Well because a little animal sort of like a raccoon, called a Civet Cat, eats the coffee cherry and poops out the bean. People harvest the beans, which have fermented inside the cats digestive track, clean them and make coffee out of them. A pound of Kopi Luwak coffee can sell for as much as $300 in the US. I have never had a cup of Kopi Luwak but I hear that it's one very tasty cup of coffee. You can get a little sample of Kopi Luwak over at think geek. The amount in the bag will most likely only make about 5 - 10 cups of coffee depending on the proportions, but you will get to say that you have had the most expensive coffee in the world.

The Twitter Cuckoo Clock - Old meets New

willburns1 — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 16:39:00 GMT

So you like cuckoo clocks and technology what is one to do? I know you get a twitter cuckoo clock that not only displays the time but also your tweets. I have to say this is a very impractical way to view your tweets but it's pretty freaking cool. This clock has digital insides that connects to your Wi-Fi and will constantly report your new tweets and search results and alert you with the Twitter bird popping out of its house. The Twitter cuckoo clock is just a concept, and if it was a real product I fear it would be too expensive for what it does. So is there a video of this thing in action, of course there is enjoy.
