(11/01/09) With everything turning towards technology, we have adapted the out with the old, in with the new mentality. Designer Kyle Bean has created a design that illustrates the issues with “technology and the Internet, and the effect it is having on the way we source information”. We are becoming a society that is more virtual. We download music rather than purchase CD’s, we research on the net, rather than going to the library and reading books. According to Kyle, “Books also have personality - they have textures and smells which the internet can’t offer”. Kyle wanted to illustrate this issue by using a book turned into a laptop. The object is made from a book purchased at a discount bookstore for only £1.50, as well as a few electrical components to illuminate the screen. The book/laptop, has a CD-Rom drive complete with CD, a keyboard that can be removed so as to access the battery, and a switch that turns off the screen light once the book is closed. The book when closed, looks just like...See less

Load a cow into the catapult and pull the trigger to send it sailing up to 15 feet. What could be more appropriate than trying to hit the bull's eye with a bull?

(05/09/08) Here’s an interesting home beautification device that could potentially help move the bowels of constipated people due to the soothing effect of an aquarium. The Fish n’ Flush aquarium is a two-piece aquarium toilet tank that can be fitted into most toilets without any trouble at all. The aquarium is encased around a see-through inner tank, where the child-friendly 12-volt dual filter system will keep the water inside the tank clean to minimize maintenance, providing a healthy living environment for your fish amidst all the flushing that goes on. You also get a pair of plastic plants that measure 9″ long each to add a little bit of green into the aquarium. Additional items that are bundled with each Fish n’ Flush purchase include a fill valve, a flush valve, a flushing system, LED lighting that looks great at night, and a built-in feeder door to keep your fish fat and happy. It is highly recommended to purchase small-sized fish as larger ones will probably find this aquarium too...See less

(05/09/08) Maxim Velokovsky is one of our favorate designers. This wine glass is based on the generic disposable dixie cup, but taken to a very different place. Working in borrosillicate glass, Czech craftsmen hand form each one, working them on a lathe so each one is very slightly different. Maxim explains that this is a deliberate choice - he wanted to take the form as far away from its plastic, mass-produced origins as possible. The lightness and strength of this glass make it a pleasure to drink from. * Price is for a single glass. * Packaging: Card gift tube. * Size: 6.25" t x 2.5" w * This item normally ships in 48 hoursSee less

(05/09/08) Dent beaker by Dutch ceramicist Rob Brandt is a carbon copy of generic plastic coffee cup, but it's ceramic. Inspired by the familiar plastic coffee cups you just have to squeeze, if only to hear their crackling sound, this ‘crushed’ cup was born. This twisted creation is ergonomic too, because the cup is contoured where someone’s hand crushed them in the first place. The Brandt crushed tumbler is available as an espresso- (small) and a coffee cup (large). Minimum order level is 4 (mentioned price is for 1). small - diam.:6 x H:6 cm large - diam.:6.5 x H:9 cm.See less

(04/12/08) This is the weirdest kitchen gadget I've see in awhile. The Al Dente Singing Pasta Timer ($30) is a little red plastic man in a suit that you drop into your pot while boiling your pasta. After a certain number of minutes passes he will sing songs. For example, after 7 minutes it's "The Triumphal March" from Aida, after 9 minutes it's "The Chorus of Hebrew Slaves" from Nabucco and after 11 minutes it's "La Donna e Movile" from Rigoletto. So depending on how long you want your pasta cooked, let Al Dente be your personal underwater singing assistant. I wonder what he sounds like underwater though? Weird.See less

(04/12/08) The H2Glow - Temperature Sensitive LED Faucet Light ($20) is simply beyond cool. Simply connect one to a water faucet, turn on the water and watch in amazement as it makes water glow blue if the water is cool or red if the water is hot using bright built-in LEDs. It automatically turns on and off based on water flow and since you will be playing with it constantly and showing it off to everyone, it also has a built in flow-limiter designed to save you money on your water bill (only 2gpm). Best of all, since it provides a unique visual indication of water temperature, it makes it much safer for children (and you) from getting burned by hot scalding water. It would also be really cool in nightclub restrooms.See less

(04/12/08) I haven't had cotton candy since I was a little kid, but I recently had this strange nostalgic craving for it. Where can you even get cotton candy outside of a county fair, carnival or circus? Well, actually now you can make your own cotton candy right at home with the cool new Old-Fashioned Cotton Candy Maker ($39). Making cotton candy is sort of a fascinating process. All you have to do is pour regular granulated sugar into the Old-Fashioned Cotton Candy Maker, turn it on and it heats the sugar into a liquid. It then spins this liquid sugar out through tiny holes in the spinner and it re-solidifies in the air as wispy spun sugar. Take one of the included plastic cones and twirl it around to collect this newly formed cotton candy. You can also add food coloring to make the cotton candy blue or pink or yes, even green. Cotton candy will go great with the equally cool Old-Fashioned Corn Dog Maker!See less

(04/12/08) I found my Halloween costume and I'm going to spoil the surprise. I'm going to be partying it up as an adventurous jungle explorer with a giant Inflatable Wrap Around Snake ($30) coiled around me. Yes, Halloween costumes have gone high-tech and three-dimensional with the use of mini blower fans to allow them to inflate. This cool, yet unfriendly, one-Size fits most green and red spotted constrictor costume simply hangs over your shoulders and self-inflates in seconds to create a really humorous effect. I'm not going to be laughing though, because I am deathly afraid of snakes.See less

(04/12/08) I love my Tiki Head Tissue Box on my desk here at Green head HQ, but I found an even better version of it called the Big Moai Tissue Dispenser ($60). Mine is hard to stand up and it always tips over when I try to pull a tissue from its nostrils. This new version is built to stand up and looks much more like an actual Moai statue from Easter island, except this one has tissues coming out its nose. These tissue boxes will make you laugh every time you get a cold and always gets a funny reaction from guests.See less

(03/02/08) Not Even Dental Records Can Help You Now After sitting through four years of dull interspecies protocol seminars and tactical maneuvers groundwork, you successfully graduated from Starfleet Academy. As a newly commissioned Federation security officer, your first assignment is on board a Constitution-class heavy cruiser. You straighten out the collar on your crisp red shirt as you walk down the corridor toward the transporter. You've been summoned to provide defensive support for a landing party consisting of the top officers on board. This is your chance to shine. Shine like a phaser set to "frag." Perhaps you should have gone into science. In the Star Trek universe, the Red Shirt is the phase-cannon fodder obliterated on screen to alert the audience to the danger of the situation. It's Roddenberry proclaiming, "We could have just killed one of the characters you cared about!" The Red Shirt is a sci-fi idiom for the anonymous, the expendable, the smoking boots behind a boulder.
