    Clever Low-Tech Toothbrush for the Lazy Scrubber

     As for the article below. Only an idiot would spend $1,750 on a prototype toothbrush, when someone could just buy the Spountin, which does the exact same thing for the same price as the shipping (I have it, only because of my roommate).

    Honestly though, I don’t understand the need for this.

    1. What’s the problem with cupping your hands?
    2. Who actually drinks the water from the Bathroom sink?
    3. I always heard that dentists recommended not rinsing after brushing your teeth

    Toothbrush FountainAmron Experimental feels your toothbrushing pain. The company doesn’t want you to sluice water from an old-fashioned cup, or “lap water from your hands”. Oh no, it knows that you need a personal fountain.

    The principle will be familiar to anyone who has visited Rome and drunk from the “Big Nose” street drinking fountains, which redirect water from a continuous stream; you block the end of the pipe and the water squirts up through a small hole in tube. The Brush & Rinse takes flowing tap water and redirects it to your waiting mouth.

    The retail price will be an affordable $3, with a limited edition of 27 prototypes selling for a teeth-clenching $1,750.00. Seriously. Look at the shopping cart screengrab below.

    I Want It! - WiiMote WeDock

    I want it! Somebody want to buy me one, only $19. Perhaps buy me two and perhaps throw in some way to wall mount this. Thanks!

    wiiweDock_front.jpg

    Looking for a place to stash those WiiMotes and their associated nunchucks? Here’s the Wii WeDock, a storage container we didn’t notice when the Brandoite junk purveyors were hawking it in a Wii-matching white color last month. But this black one caught our attention because it looks like a garbage bin for biohazard waste.

    While that’s not a particularly attractive comparison, the Wii WeDock looks surprisingly useful, giving you a place to put both of those Nintendo Wii controllers, out of harm’s way and perhaps out of the mouths of children. That’s a good thing?we’ve heard those things can jump up and smack you upside the head. The Wii nunchucks, that is. Or maybe the children, too.

    The WeDock’s one-touch “springboard” design pops up your weapon with a simple push. And if you get tired of that Nintendo Wii, just use the WeDock to store your used syringes and other biohazards you might have lying around. Or you can put your weed in it. [Brando]

    You Said Wee Wee: Wii WeDock Appears Useful Despite Appallingly Alliterative

    Make the Jetsons Proud - Hover Car

    This is not a spaceship or an “alien aircraft” for you sci-fi dorks out there. It’s a “Hover Car” and supposedly works. I’m a bit skeptical because it is tethered to a bungee cord, but that might be for safety reasons. If you feel like watching the video, do so, but I must warn you, it’s really really boring and the music SUCKS but is relaxing. So enjoy (or go to sleep, whichever you choose)image

    As the Giz said:

    According to the press release, the machine can hover 10 feet off the ground and cruises at a speed of 50 mph. Because the M200G is classified as a recreation device and not an aircraft, it is not subject to FAA regulations and anybody can operate one. No official release date has been announced

    Mini oven for a mini kitchen

    Russel-Hobbs-Mini-Oven-1We don’t have a mini kitchen, but if we did we get this Russel Hobbs Mini Oven for it. Measuring 31Hx55Wx51.5Dcm, it has two hot plates on top and an oven with baking tray and grill rack. Mini - but very effective.

    Perfect for those “small” New York City apartments… well, Manhattan apartments, because yes, I know you get more room for your money in the other boroughs… bastards…

    I’ve been telling people about the Flying Motorcycle

    I once owned a motorcycle, Honda CM450 from 1981, but always thought (especially for me) that it was too dangerous. In the year that I had it and the 100 times or so that I was on it, probably almost died 25 of those times. Luckily nothing ever happened… Anyhoo… Best invention ever and relatively cheap for what it is, a FLYING MOTORCYCLE!!! Awesoma Power!
