Faceball charges you $3 to put its balls on your
face

post from Shiny Shiny on 02 September 2007 12:04:39 PM. © Shiny Shiny

There's a good chance there's somebody in your office that you'd like to hit in the face, and if you hit them in the face once, you might want to take a shot at hitting them in the face a second time. Faceball is about taking that sentiment and doing something about it in a safe, sane and consensual manner. You sit over there, they sit over here, you throw a beach ball at them, they throw one at you. If you hit them, you get to go again; highest score after five rounds wins. But why sit here reading about it when you can watch it after the jump? [Camille]

Animated Homer Simpson Multi-USB Port

post from Shiny Shiny on 02 September 2007 12:04:39 PM. © Shiny Shiny

Now you can write Homer Simpson off as a business expense - because you really needed a new USB hub. The Animated Homer Simpson Multi-USB Port is a 4-port hub complete with spinning Homer action and the occasional whoop of joy (which you can turn off if you don't want anybody knowing how happy your computer is). $50. [Camille]

Coloured Flame Birthday Candles

post from Shiny Shiny on 02 September 2007 11:04:42 AM. © Shiny Shiny

It's a special day for a special person, and you're already shelling out for all kinds of special cake and magicians and pony rides anyhow, so won't you feel guilty just giving them regular old flame-coloured candles? Now you also need the Colored Flame Birthday Candles, which use a combination of organic salts and metals in a citrate to change the flame colour to something so exotic and exciting you'll forget you just got old. And you look great anyhow. Have you lost weight? $5. [Camille]

Digital Video Rocket

post from Shiny Shiny on 02 September 2007 10:05:20 AM. © Shiny Shiny

If you've ever wondered what it would look like to shoot really fast up into the air and then crash down to the ground at equally alarming and nauseating velocity (and there are people that do!) then the Digital Video Rocket is for you. Containing an impact-resistant camera in the nose cone, it can shoot 12-second video at 640px x 480px resolution or take up to three pictures per flight to a maximum of 15 pictures. The Estes C6-5 engines come with two sets of camera batteries, assorted control whatnot and a remote (which requires four AA batteries, oddly not included. Maybe they think you make your own). Sounds like a lot of fun for $60. [Camille]

Prototype of the week: The transparent toaster

post from Shiny Shiny on 02 September 2007 09:05:09 AM. © Shiny Shiny

There's no arguing the geek love-affair with wonky toasters, so it's not surprising that someone's come up with a way to strip it down to the bare essentials in a way that truly reveals the spirit of, er, toast. The Transparent Toaster uses transparent heating glass to magically turn the bread into toast right before your eyes, allowing you to halt the process at the exactly perfect moment, provided you aren't hypnotized by it because it's too early in the morning for fine judgment and the thing is so pretty until it gets all full of stale breadcrumbs and grease from when your brother decides to try cooking hamburgers in it (that last bit isn't quite true because he only considered it and then rejected the idea but he might have gotten close enough to put some burger grease on it anyhow and that would goof the whole look). In any case it's just a prototype, since the existing glass doesn't get hot enough to toast bread. But now you can dream of yet another gadget demanding your attention in exchange for the promise (and who knows, maybe even delivery) of minor perfection. [Camille]

Kokoro Scan knows how you REALLY feel

post from Shiny Shiny on 02 September 2007 09:05:09 AM. © Shiny Shiny

Kokoro Scan, developed by SEGA's Feel the Magic, is a new game which learns how you feel, then tells everybody about it. It lures you into a charming conversation with it, then uses voice recognition software to, whammo! decipher what you really feel about what you're saying. As demonstrated in the video after the jump, maybe not even you know what your voice betrays. [Camille]
