T-Qualizer rocks your disco world

The T-Qualizer used a thin layer of electroluminescence that picks up sound beats and react like a graphic equalizer of a stereo.

Meant to be perfect for clubs, parties, or just to impressing your friends who might run away or drop theirs jaws at your talents. Comes in classic, red-hot, cool-blue, purple, or green.

Hackable Time

Yet another attempt to make time chaotic. These independent blocks show LED numbers, when put in order you get the current time but when put in disorder that's exactly what you get - a disordered set of numbers. Artsy decoration? Yes. Practical use as a clock - eh maybe not so much. However the concept is very intriguing. US$89.00.

With no battery required (using some kind of X-Pump mechanism) you insert your toothbrush in the bottom opening and depending on how hard you push equal amounts of toothpaste is dispensed. A bit of a steep price for US$59.95 but hey this is being sold at Sharper Image so the high price is not surprising to me. Check it out.

Toilet Paper 2.0

When you couldn't think toilet paper could be re-invented, Renova went and did it, well sort of. These soft, elegant 3-ply, fragrance bath tissue paper come in colors. Yes you heard that right, in color. The maker claims that these have been tested under dermatological and gynecological control and are biodegradable soothing tissues that do not bleed any color. The new york times calls it "This season's must-have". Price $150 for 45 rolls. That's the minimum amount you can order. Currently available in black but other colors are on the way. If you just cannot get enough fashion in your bathroom then go for these. Frankly I myself will save that $150 towards the rumored iPod phone.

Wear your digital ego around that waist

Egokast is belt buckle size 3.5TFT personal media player that's meant to be shared with the world.

Get your time and digital pictures too

This desktop clock comes with your standard time features - time, date, alarm, calendar, & meteorological measure. The WOW factor is its ability to display upto 22 pictures in a slideshow format. Running on 2XAAA batteries, you transfer pictures using USB cable and software from you PC onto it and simply let it go. I wonder if you can turn off the slideshow to conserve battery power, if not I can see the need to change batteries every couple weeks. Even though it is not an LCD digital frame, for an office desk where daydreaming is not allowed, this comes closest to an approved method of distraction. US$69.26

My Dream Mover

I'm no skate-boarder, but if someone would buy me this, I could surely top Tony Hawks. Well maybe not top him, but I could surely roll in style. This quiet and so called environment friendly Usurfer U70 is an electric
power board with a hand controller for throttle and brake. For US$700 its a hefty price but I feel its well worth it.

Frosty Artsy Mailbox

This styling mailbox adorns the front of your home with a welcoming feel that says, " put mail in me and let others see what's inside, break my glass and you've got someone else's mail". Funny stuff aside, this mailbox is more an art decor than a safety mail box. What's the point in havin a lock on it if the glass is breakable, I also don't know if I would like anyone to see (despite the frosty glass) what's inside. This envelope mailbox from Chia'sso can be your's for US$68.
