PowerBalance Bracelets: Surprisingly It Works!

Wednesday 9 December 2009 @ 8:06 am

The past years saw a parade of body enhancing  jewelry. One of the mostPowerBalance Bands 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 »

Magniwork: Eliminate Electric Bills With Free Energy Generator

Thursday 29 October 2009 @ 12:18 am

The electric power company is a soulless robber. My monthly electric bill reaches up to $400 a month. That isn’t good. $400freenenergy project 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 »

How To Beat The Swine Flu

Friday 26 June 2009 @ 10:58 am

They call it a pandemic. But I yawn. How many did they say were infected?  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:

80286 Anyone?

Saturday 16 May 2009 @ 11:02 am

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.  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.  Fittingly, the site is called Weird Stuff.

Weird.




Take to The Skies with AirCreation!

Monday 23 February 2009 @ 7:43 pm

Traffic gets anyone’s goat-even Mother Theresa’s. In fact, I heard she strangled a goat out of frustration during a six aircreationhour 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.




Personal Area Network Hoodie

Friday 21 November 2008 @ 9:04 am

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. :)

Unfair Advantage: Aimshot Heatseeker

Friday 24 October 2008 @ 8:12 pm

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?

Save Electricity With the GlowBrick

Sunday 7 September 2008 @ 10:18 am

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.

Intrepid Voyager Into Your Body

Friday 1 August 2008 @ 7:39 pm

Back in the good ole days when Doctors had to see what was stopping up your gut, the tool of choice

Medical robot

Medical robot

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.

How To Carry Your Bike To the BoardRoom

Monday 28 July 2008 @ 6:10 pm

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 »

Limbo String- Be The Life of the Party

Monday 28 July 2008 @ 6:00 pm

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. Push a button and a colored string shoots out while some cheesy, tinny music gets people into the groove. Folks then wiggle and write under the bar. Did the last round get too easy? No problem. There are settings to lower the bar and make things more intense. Just don’t lower it too much that knickers start flashing.

At $40, this cool toy affords you top quality features:

* A compact unit that shoots a cyclical string across the room.
* The string spans 7 feet and is consistently fed through the unit to keep it in the air.
* The string is black light responsive and goes all ‘dayglo’ in the dark..
* Choose to limbo to your own music or opt to use the unit’s tropical tune. Continue Reading »

The Daleks Invade Your Desktop

Tuesday 8 July 2008 @ 6:24 pm

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!
