Some Pretty Cool Stuff - Issue No. 011

Today's issue of Some Pretty Cool Stuff has something for everyone; The redneck (gay or straight), who loves drinking beer, children who want to get creative with their bedroom walls, and couples who love to lounge around, reading or having a conversation.

Cap Zappa

For the beer-chugging guys who have nothing else better to do with their time or their bottle caps. LOL.  This little contraption spits out bottle caps and projects them up to 16 feet. I'm thinking this would be kinda fun, but not so sure after everyone is intoxicated.  Maybe it has a warning. LOL. $10.49

Burgerdoodles Wallpaper

This actually is really cool, and I wouldn't mind having one for myself.  Sure, kids would have fun coloring their walls for a lifetime, but you're never too old when it comes to art, right?  Take your pick from a variety of scenes, from New York to Doggie Doodles, and witness your very own artistic talent come to life. $53.00

Loopita Bonita Lounge

Spring is here and Summer is around the corner!  What better way to relax than on your very own two-person lounge chair.  Imagine drinking some Margaritas and reading the next Game of Thrones book on this baby.  Feel free to check out the added pictures here.

BAT - The Levitating Mouse

This is only in it's beginning stages so you can't buy it at the moment, but it's definitely pretty cool and I wouldn't mind having one.  This would also be a great gift idea for anyone who suffers from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.  The mouse, created by Vadim Kibardin hovers over a mousepad using magnets - it's pretty darn impressive.
Check it out.

Some Pretty Cool Stuff - Issue No. 006

Yay!!! It's time for "Some Pretty Cool Stuff"...

I figured that since I'm constantly in the kitchen creating recipes, cooking and enjoying life - today's issue would consist of three must-haves for the kitchen.

Let's start off with the Quirky Ribbon Baking Pan!

 

The Ribbon is a modular baking pan that allows you to control the shape and the size of the baking area. Using the silicone band that attaches to the steel baking sheet with magnets, you can shape the baking area to fit the needs of your recipe and create different shaped molds for your cakes, brownies, and your most decadent desires. Ding! When you’re done baking simply peel away the silicone band to unleash those delicious treats!

Unfortunately this item isn't for sell yet, but they can sign me up!

The Quirky Pluck!

From bodybuilders to soccer moms, egg whites are a great healthy breakfast choice. But separating the yolk from the whites can seem like pulling a rabbit from a hat. Enter Quirky’s Pluck, the yolk extractor you’ll have to see to believe. Simply place it over the yolk of an already cracked egg, squeeze the silicone chamber, and release to suck the egg yolk up into it. To dispose of its contents, just give Pluck another squeeze and move onto the next egg. When finished, separate the two pieces and wash by hand or in the dishwasher. Buy $12.99 video

The Corn Kerneler!

Wow, this would definitely help me with making sweet corn tamales! Thanks to the stainless steel blades in this contraption, it makes plucking the corn off the cob seem like child's play. $12.95

The Melting Spoon

How many of you mess around with your friends from time to time?  No, I'm not talking that kind of mess. Get your mind out of the gutter!  I'm talking with your friend's minds by playing a trick on them.  Geez, this is not coming out the way I want. ugh. LOL.

Okay, let's start over.  Have you ever played a mind-trick on someone by using a deck of cards, money, or other type of object?  Well, I have, but I've never tried this one.  Watch as this spoon (pictured) disintegrates as it is stirred in water.  How does it work?  The metal is made of pure 99.99% Gallium which melts at 86°F.  Pretty interesting, heh?  Well, you can actually do it yourself by going to DisappearingSpoons.com and buying a DIY kit.  Check it out.

Some Pretty Cool Stuff - Issue No. 001

I always come across some pretty cool stuff I would like to own, but then I forget about it and go on to something else.  Well, what better way to keep track of all the cool things I want to purchase someday than to make a series out of it, right?

How many times have you searched for an extension cord around the house, and when you do it's all tangled up or being used?

This "in the wall" extension cord would be awesome to have.  Now, if they had one that was 100 feet. :-)

Being that I'm constantly in the kitchen cooking up a meal, I desperately want this knife set.  I don't want anything else!

This would go great with all my other stainless steel kitchen accessories!

You know you hate people bothering you so why not take a nap in one of these.

This actually looks kinda comfy, though, I don't think it would go well at work.

Our Future Is In Their Hands - Take 6

Do not attempt to have your kids attempt this at home, for fear of scalding themselves with extremely hot substances.  But if these little kids can do Expresso at home, I'm sure you can too, right?  Provided you can afford to buy the $5,000 Expresso machine.

Which Knife Do I Use?

For all you chefs in the making...  just in case you wondering which knife to use in the kitchen.

So Retro, It's Cool

In February, I showed you a light bulb shattered into a million pieces, in the slowest motion photography you've ever seen.  Last month, I featured Jello jiggling in a way you never thought possible, and on May 18, we witnessed a 6 foot water balloon burst into a tidal wave of laughter and amazement.  

In what I think is pure genius, you'll see some retro products in three separate television commercials, courtesy of French company, Citroën, the first mass-producing auto company outside of the United States.  Director, Jonathan Gurvit has taken the concept of slow-motion photography to a whole new level, by introducing us to Citroën, and their Anti-Retro campaign.

In the videos below, you'll notice some "Retro" products from the past, like Telephones, Blenders and TV Sets.  Each of the commercials uses slow-motion digital photography to capture the ultimate destruction of these products, in very creative, and unimaginable ways.

Enjoy!
