100%, a design studio has shown off its cool, new LED watch at Tokyo Design Week 2008. The watch looks like a bracelet with numbers shining through it. I really like the design and the good news is that this watch just might go into production.
Snowball Launcher
Just came across this kid’s toy that shoots snowballs. It seems like most of the work that needed to be done to actually throw a snowball is done for you. Back in the days when you only had gloves you had to pick up some snow, form a ball and the throw it. Those who wanted more accuracy(me included) took their gloves off so the hands would melt the snow a little and the snowball would become more dense thus better accurate and throwing distance. But enough about history this gun fires softball sized snowballs up to 50 feet. Just put the snow in the gun’s forming chamber close the lid and you’ve got yourself 3 snowballs. Then place the snowball in the muzzle and shoot. The blaster is powered by elastomers so it lasts as long as you do. Here’s the link to the Shop
Slim Bug Zapper
It’s effective, it’s merciless and now it’s slim. Designed by Pepe Garcia and Martin Žampach this electronic bug zapper goes well with almost any environment. Plus, it’s easy to use, simply install it somewhere in the room and change the fly paper from time to time however if yo can’t take the sight on hundreds of dead creepy-crawlies then let some else do it.
Intelligent Cutlery – IC3
This is a concept I’d absolutely love to see on sale. The concept, designed by Alex Schulz, is a computerized shaft with 3 interchangeable eating apparatuses: fork, spoon and knife. The fork analyzes composition such as fat, protein, sugars, the spoon measures the weight and the knife measures the temperature. The IC3 can be very helpful for people who have diabetes, allergies or are simply on a diet. There is of course a minor hassle of changing the tips when you’re using the IC3. The concept is currently on display at the Designparcours Munich 2008 exhibition.
Ken’s Countach
If you work hard dreams come true. As you’ve guessed from the title Ken made this lambo countach. It took him 10 years but the result is amazing. Ken is an aluminum worker and TIG welder and his car is 100% hand made. The car has all aluminum interior with leather dash, Momo seats and 5 point harness, on board halon fire bottle and a quick release steering wheel. Low to the ground at 2700 lbs. The last obstacle in making this great car was getting it out of the garage 
Roadmice
Car fans are going to love these. Computer mice that look like cars. The scroll wheel is in the hood and the hood itself is the buttons. The mice come is different brands Chevrolet Camaro, Ford Mustang, Dodge Charger and Chevrolet Corvette and there are lots of colors to choose from. The price of one roadmouse is $40
AirPOD
While some car companies are busy making and perfecting their electric and hybrid cars, MDI has made a car that runs on compressed air. The car will seat 3 people, have a range of 220 km (130miles) and a 70 kph (45 mph) speed limit. For those who don’t have a driving license the car’s speed will be limited to 45kph (30 mph). The air supply or in this case fuel can be refilled in a few minutes with an air compressor available at every gas station.
MDI declares AirPOD will be the first car to be series-produced, by the end of the first quarter of 2009 and the price is said to be very low for a car this size.
SteelSeries World of Warcraft Mouse
WOW! SteelSeries and Blizzard have unveiled a mouse made especially for World of Warcraft. First thing first, It looks amazing, if aliens used mice with their computers I’m sure this is how we would picture them. Now comes the function part. The mouse has 15 programmable buttons. 15! That’s more then I used for the whole game including moving around but I understand that for PvP you need to have lots of buttons you can quickly push and not take your eyes off the screen. Also, you can choose what color the mouse will glow. You can chose from 16 million colors. A bit overkill but may keep the player busy while he’s in queue for the next battleground. One last thing, the mouse will be on sale on November 13, the same date when the Wrath of the Lich King comes out and will cost $90
