The Dustbot
05/31/09 - Pretty Cool
“What is believed to be the world’s first robot that comes to take away rubbish from your house when you want it to has been unveiled in Italy. The Dustbot can be summoned to your address through a mobile phone any time of the day. The robot works with a combination of GPS navigation and with a gyroscope to keep it upright. There are also a number of sensors on the machine so it does not bump into anything.” w/ video
Wonder Measuring Cup
05/31/09 - Neat Products
“Those wet and sticky ingredients do what they do – stick to the sides of your measuring cup. You’ll either have to pull out your rubber spatula and scrape and scrape and scrape until you get most of the goop out, or live with the fact that you’ll never be as precise as you like with your measurements. It might make you mad enough rend your trendy bowling shirts and pull your spikey hair out. Luckily, a solution is available. Placing a plunger base at the bottom of your measuring cup means you can push your sticky ingredients out in their entirety. One swipe of your spatula, and you’ve got all of your ingredients in your mixing bowl. It’s such a simple and elegant solution, you’ll be using this measuring cup for all of your measuring needs.” w/ photos

“It’s magnetic disk now delicately hand engraved with numbers is a little over five inches wide, a full inch and a half larger than the common hard drive disks we now use. The disk its self has a lovely smoke effect like the color of smoky quartz around the inner edge. The reading arm on the disk swings up and down as the pin against it spins.” w/ photos

“Do cats always land on their feet? The unbelievable tale of a cat named Lucky — who fell 26 stories and survived — doesn’t quite prove the myth but it comes pretty close… Lucky fell 26 stories before landing on a cement balcony below. Hayes was able to snap three photos: Lucky on the ledge, Lucky in midair, and Lucky’s landing.” w/ photos + video
