I don’t think I saw this on the OC… PoopButler.com will come to your house and scoop the poop right out of your cat’s litter box. They’ll even perform some unexplicably vague cleaning process on the litter box:
You receive your used litter boxes again only after being electronically treated through the use of an electrification […]

If there is one thing that annoys me more than the humidity here in NYC, it’s the constant threat of loud bikers rolling through my neighborhood on the weekend. I’ve never understood what kind of death wish you need to have to ride a bike. I can see how the breeze flowing through your hair […]

I’ve been here and there over the past week or so. I took my first trip to Phoenix, AZ over the weekend, and found it decidedly beige. While you can hardly fault a city built in the desert for being beige, it’s hard to notice anything else. For what it’s worth, the sky is incredibly […]

I suppose I was being optimistic when I thought Apple’s Boot Camp would be the be all, end all of dual-booting. Hiding safely behind the guise of the infamous “Beta” software designation, Boot Camp is starting to mess up the new Macintels.
I sure am glad I was on vacation in PDX when all this went […]

For $20, you can make sure you’ll never worry about hanging onto subway train poles again. City mitts are anti-microbial gloves for city life. After all, subway poles are soiled with whatever the last rider had on his hands (or mitts). Although, aren’t subway poles really only disgusting when your mind lingers on them? I […]

For as long as I’ve lived in NYC there has always been the classic bait/switch routine on St. Marks and 3rd Ave. A non-threatening dude hangs out on the block by Cooper Union and hands out “mean people suck” stickers. As soon as some sucker takes the sticker, he asks for a donation of $1 […]

No offense to Lifelong Kindergarten, but one of the coolest ideas to come out of the MIT Media Lab is the $100 laptop. Intended for developing children around the world, this non-profit organization’s goal is to provide the children of the world with an affordable, accessible tool to explore and learn.
Reuters reports comments from Bill […]

Textamerica is a site dedicated to mobile blogging. Of course, the integration tech is what drew me to take a peek. I happen to love hooking things up, sometimes just for the sake seeing things work together. Hooking up the cellphone in your hand, to a cell tower, to the internet, to your blog, and […]

gnod.net is a fun site that will take up a few minutes of your time if you let it. At it’s most basic, gnod (global network of dreams) recommends books, music, and movies based on things you like. Created by Marek Gibney of Hamburg, Germany, gnod is, by the author’s definition:
…my experiment in the field […]

Big up to the guys (is there more than one?) at productdose.com for digging up a strange gem of a product: The Laser Turntable. Multiple sharks with laser beams read the groove of the record, resulting in a completely frictionless, wear-free turntable. Sounds great for audiophiles right?

I was initially surprised that something like this slipped […]

Seems I’ve been on a useless item kick lately, so let’s not lose steam today…
The Gadgeteer has a brief review of the Sega Toys iFish. You plug your iPod into this thing, and it shakes it like Timberlake while it’s head lights up.

If you check the Gadgeteer video, you’ll see her cat having a go […]
