The past years saw a parade of body enhancing  jewelry. One of the most
popular was the qlink which promised greater focus, endurance and longevity. Costing $149, this item didn’t deliver. I had both SRT2 and SRT3 models and ran them through their paces. Neither proved effective. No energy boost. I felt tired often. And my muscular power didn’t help me win arm wrestling matches
Then came the Qray with the same promises. And the Megachi. SAME BANANA: high prices, low delivery.
I began to wonder if most of the health products out there were scams. Continue Reading »
PowerBalance Bracelets: Surprisingly It Works!
The electric power company is a soulless robber. My monthly electric bill reaches up to $400 a month. That isn’t good. $400
can buy me a lot of stuff- especially new PCs which I’m addicted to. It can also pay my kid’s eduction.
I tirelessly fight the bill of course. One of my initial attempts to lower the bill was to purchase those energy savers like EnerMax which funnels waste power back into the lines. It helped- but only by dropping my electric consumption by 20%. That isn’t much.
Then last week I stumbled across building plans that teach how to generate free power using a free energy generator. Dubbed the MagniWork, this is a scalable, DIY project that lets the enthusiast generate completely free electric energy, meaning , create energy without needing any source of renewable or non-renewable energy. The Magniwork generator powers itself and creates energy by itself, without requiring solar energy, heat, water, coal or any kind of resource. This generator powers itself and works indefinitely, without stopping, creating a large amount of energy. Continue Reading »
Magniwork: Eliminate Electric Bills With Free Energy Generator
They call it a pandemic. But I yawn. How many did they say were infected? Â A thousand? A hundred thousand? It doesn’t matter to me. Yep, I know there’s no vaccine yet and many cases have been fatal. But the thing is, I know I’m protected.
My confidence lies in the fact that whatever those buggers do, I can destroy them with my secret weapon. It isn’t a drug. It isn’t an elixir or potion. It’s electricy.
Got that right. Electricity. I use this baby to ward off diseases:
Last night I ran into my eccentric buddy. He’s the kinda guy who likes collecting useless things such as stamps, snail shells and buffalo teeth. I didn’t think he could get weirder than that until I realized he was setting up a home network based on 80286 processors. Â No kidding. He had five of these babies hooked up with old school parallel cables. Or were they serial cables?! I asked him why. His response? Just because he can.
Geez.
Anyway, for the rest of you who wants to embark in the same useless endeavor, there’s a site that supplies goodies from the years of yore… things like 8088 processors and even tweaked 386DX chips. Â Fittingly, the site is called Weird Stuff.
Weird.
Traffic gets anyone’s goat-even Mother Theresa’s. In fact, I heard she strangled a goat out of frustration during a six
hour gridlock in New Delhi. Too bad she didn’t live to see the AirCreation Tanarg Trike. I daresay, it resembles something from a star trek movie. This rich man’s toy looks like a standard trike which is capable of taking to the skies traffic starts taking your goat.
Of course, I don’t recommend taking off in the middle of New Delhi traffic- lest the rotors take off the head of a policeman. Find somewhere safe!
For now, the gadget doesn’t take families. It’s a two-seater is built on a strong modular wire-mesh structure and relies on Rotax 912 or 582 silent engines to keep it up in the air. Im saving up my money to buy this and do a proper review.
I’m overweight. Not because of fats, mind you. I tip the scales because of all the gadgets I lug around.
There’s my cellphone in the back jean pocket. Ipod in the front right. Then there’s the wallet snug into the left right. My shirt pocket has a spy/wifi detector. And yes. My keys. Lots of keys attached to a Victorinox 15 blade swiss knife. Whew. No wonder my pants expire in a year. My shirts too. They’re dead even before they become fashion victims.
Oh well. So you can imagine how delighted I was when Thinkgeek developed the Personal Area Network Hoodie. It’s a light, breathable and wicking fabric superb for treking, biking, spelunking..you name it! The pullover brags 5 pockets, including a specially designed chest pocket with a ZIP-PIP for sunglasses and “back-up,” patent-pending magnetic closures. Just like my MacBook! The Weight Management System (WMS) for this pocket was an R & D masterpiece. I can imagine the sleepness nights incurred by the engineers. And yet there’s more. The hoodie also features the patented Personal Area Network (PAN), a detachable key chain, an epaulet to attach devices, like walkie-talkies, ventilation eyelets and an adjustable waist cord.
I bought two of these babies.
Uzix, the boys creating personal video iWear, released two new products in Europe affording ground-breaking technology advances.
Donned like a pair of goggles, the new AV310 is the pioneering video headset of its kind to feature the full 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio; while the AV230XL blows old technologies by using OLED (organic LED) screen technology for an vibrantly bright, high contrast display that drinks less power.
The launch of the two headsets increases the complement of Vuzix range to four models. The AV920 is the top of the line video headset, and there’s VR920 is a virtual reality goggle aimed at the gaming market which adds motion tracking and 3D capability to 80 PC titles and online games such as World of Empire Earth, Second Life and Earth Siege.
The new products are developed to complement an array of devices with TV Out capability such as theApple iPod range, MP4 players, games consoles such as Wii, and many of the latest cellphones from Nokia, Ericsson, Samsung and HTC. Continue Reading »
Vuzix’s Big Screen iPhone – Real Theatre Experience!
I’m a hunter. No I don’t shoot deer- I shoot guys with my high velocity airsoft rifle modified to 700fps. While the bullets really sting under heavy armor, it provides a great deal of fun because you know your prey will survive. (unless you shoot a guy’s unarmored head).
When I go on these airsoft sorties, the enemy really hates me because of my seeming sixth sense. I know where most guys are hiding. That, despite the dense foliage and underbrush. My secret?
I carry a Heatseeker.
Here’s what the baby looks like.
This toy provides a definite advantage. Remember the gadgets used in Aliens?
Gravity doesn’t work on electric bills. They never fall… just keep going up and up! So to combat this irritation, I make it a point to shut down unnecessary electricals like my heaters, conditioners and light bulbs.
Especially lightbulbs. Those incandescents can be a major power drain (and bill bloater). I hear that the typical 100w bulb consumes more than an electric fan. Whew. Not very earth friendly huh?
Still, I need my light especially when I sleep. It’s tough to doze without a nightlight (no, not because of monsters!). I just need a bit of soothing photons to keep me feeling secure. So I was glad when someone invented the Glowbrick.. it’s literally a lightbulb that uses no electricity.
Here’s how it works. The GlowBrick uses glow-in-the-dark* pigment trapped inside a real light bulb (just like the ones you have at home). Then the light bulb is encased in a solid block of Acrylic resin. The mysterious optical effect is caused by light diffracting in the tiny space between the glass of the light bulb and the resin – this space forms when the resin shrinks by a tiny amount during the production process. The polished surface gives a jewel like quality to the object. In a darkened room, or at night, the Glow Brick comes to life with a tranquil and subtle glow emanating from the pigment inside the light bulb. Size is 3.3″ x 3.3″ x 5″
*The technical term for the glow-in-the-dark is “photoluminescence” this is a process in which energy absorbed by a substance is released relatively slowly in the form of light.
According to the instructions, this baby should last all night after being exposed to light all day morning. Perfect for those who MUST sleep with a nightlight.

Back in the good ole days when Doctors had to see what was stopping up your gut, the tool of choice
involved a spongy cable they stuffed down your throat and wiggled around your innards. It wasn’t pleasant. My grandma wretched the last time she suffered this indignity. Oh- and entry was manageable. It was egress that hurt. Pulling the cord out was like someone reaching into your balls from the throat and yanking it out.
Now doctors have developed a new technology that mitigates such suffering. Instead of a cord, a tiny capsule flies into your body operated by remote control. The attending physician simply navigates the robot throughout your internal organs, snapping away as it goes.No cord needed- the cute little guy is totally wireless.
Did you ever crave for furniture that only you would ever have? Then check this out for totally one-of-a-kind: your very own eyeballs lighting up your living room! Don’t fret. It doesn’t involve surgical removal. A company called 5.5 Designers, started by Livio Serena has developed a proprietary technique utilizing software and glassblowing to create a large basketball-sized lamp that bears the exact pattern of your peepers.
But don’t rush out and grab one yet. My sources say this will hit at least 5grand with all the tech going into it. Continue Reading »
Cloned Eyeballs In Your Living Room
Fancy doing your bit to cut down on pollution? Then you’ll like what these fellas have in store for you: an
ultra lightweight bike that folds up into a backpack for easy storage. No more worrying that some klepto is jacking your bike down at the lot.
Oh, and it doubles as a cart as well. Got to many things to carry? No problem. Unpack the bike and wheel those garbage bags to the bin. It’s got more. Headlights, backlights and turning signals. All in a nice package of 5kg.
This looks definitely like something I’d take for an intravillage commute. But will I take it to work 10 miles away? Nahhhh…. This toy looks a tad flimsy to me. It may break at the next pothole. (oh, and with its size, any chihuahua could outrace me) Continue Reading »

Your friends will consider you one hell of a popular guy if you tote this around. Not only is it a great ice breaker fore those stiff parties, you’ll also give your new pals a workout. Fancy that: combining health and socials into the Limbo String!
It’s an-all-in-one device. This geeky gadget does what the limbo bar, the char and even the music player does in a real limbo get together.

There are settings to lower the bar and make things more intense. Just don’t lower it too much that knickers start flashing.

Limbo String- Be The Life of the Party
The look like the Daleks from the ole 1970 series. Only difference is that they wave their arms in friendly gesture and offer to clean your desktop at the push of the button. The Daleks of old use their pincers to emasculate you and clean your clock.
These cutsies come in three colors and vacuum up dirt, grime and split coffee rinds after a long days work. Price? Not too much (they’re not so intelligent anyway)- just $14.00 Great for a novelty and to have the office hottie stop over and make conversation.
Just make sure Dalek doesn’t run up her skirt!
