Headbanger Chat Headset for Call of Duty: Black Ops

Posted: 29 Nov 2010 05:09 PM PST

You know that a video game is super popular when it has its own unique accessories. PDP has made several of them, like their Nunchuk for Epic Mickey plus all their Tron Legacy peripherals, put out even before the game or the movie has been released.

PDP has also made the Headbanger Chat Headset, which is specifically designed for Call of Duty: Black Ops. I had a chance to check out the game over the weekend, and the game certainly lives up to all the franchise hype.

This Headbanger is designed for the Wii version of the Call of Duty: Black Ops game and is also compatible with Conduit 2. It has a “Noise-canceling microphone provides crystal-clear sound and high-quality voice input”.

It is not wireless, but it does have a 10 foot long cord. So for those who want to do their Black Ops with a group of friends, you got a peripheral for it. Just pretend its a Bluetooth headset with a wire.

You should be able to get the Headbanger Chat Headset at the PDP site for about $24.99 in either black or white. Good luck fighting zombies in the Pentagon with John F. Kennedy, Richard Nixon, Robert McNamara, and Fidel Castro. I actually believe that is one of the campaigns.

Conrad makes a lock to put your bike up high

Posted: 29 Nov 2010 04:44 PM PST

I’m guessing that most bike locks can be taken off using some fast-filing skills or some very sharp Sawzall.

However, what if there was a way to make it very inconvenient for a thief to get to a bicycle because it was high up on a lamppost?

This is apparently the idea from Conrad, a German toy and model company who made a very interesting bike lock made from a motorized skateboard. You can watch a video of their accomplishment after the jump. Just be warned that most of the video is in German with some sporadic English.

You will note the hexagonal shape seems to embrace the lamppost. I am assuming that lampposts are of a standard circumference. Anyway, it is then as easy as mounting the bike on the frame. Then, at a touch of a button on a remote control, the bike goes up like it is in an elevator.

No thief is going to be climbing a lamppost to steal a bike, it is just too much effort and way too public of a crime to get away with. Yes, the only person who will be climbing this pole to get to a bike is the owner with the busted remote control.

BendDesk could change the face of desktop computing

Posted: 29 Nov 2010 04:07 PM PST

This is the BendDesk from Media Computing Group. Just looking at this picture makes me want one, badly.

I can honestly say that I would probably keep my desk a whole lot cleaner if it was a screen. I have a video of it after the jump that shows a very interesting photo sorting session. You will note how they can be arranged in a row at the “bend”.

What really made it interesting was the games. You will note how the horizontal area is used as a controller to zap the bad guys dominating the vertical portion of the screen. Don’t let them go around the corner!

I suppose that I am looking forward to a future where I have screens everywhere on this BendDesk. I would probably have my work and a movie going on the vertical screen, and I would have a bundle of side-projects literally at my side. I’m guessing that since it has ten possible points of touch activity, the horizontal area could be a good for a keyboard.

Man, I’m not certain if this would increase my productivity, or decrease my attention span. Perhaps both. Either way, I might want to get two projectors and set this up on my desk now. I don’t suppose that Media Computing Group is not going to be selling these anytime soon.

Space Coaster Marble Run

Posted: 29 Nov 2010 11:36 AM PST



Introduce a little fun to your office with the Space Coaster Marble Run, where this unique toy ought to keep you and your colleagues, awed at least for a while considering the £19.99 price tag it comes with. This is an “indescribably cool” set of sci-fi imagination which is part marble run, part physics experiment. Once you’ve gotten it up and running, just flip a switch to turn it one, place the two ball bearings in the central shaft and see them whiz around the rail at breakneck speeds. This is actually a self-perpetuating Ouroboros of a toy, and ought to keep bored colleagues’ eyes fixated on it without missing a beat. Since the balls have different routes to take, they take them randomly, making sure it offers a new viewing experience every single time.

Posted: 29 Nov 2010 11:33 AM PST

Groegg Color Changing Thermometer

Posted: 29 Nov 2010 11:30 AM PST

While some of us take sleep for granted, others might find it a whole lot more difficult to get some shuteye even after plenty of tossing and turning around on bed. Well, the temperature does play a rather huge role in helping you doze off into dreamland, but that’s easy for adults to adjust – turn on the air conditioner, pull over an extra blanket, but how about your little one who doesn’t know how to communicate yet? The Groegg Color Changing Thermometer will step in here, as this $34.99 device works as it is named – it will reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), making sure it is yellow when a baby’s bedroom is maintained at 61-67°F to prevent SIDS. Should it get too hot, then it will turn red, while going blue when vice versa. Not only that, it functions as an adorable nightlight as well for the uninitiated. Too bad it doesn’t run on batteries but needs to be plugged into a power outlet all the time.

Radio Flyer Classic Bumper Car

Posted: 29 Nov 2010 11:24 AM PST

Bumper cars belong to the realm of carnivals and fun fairs, eh? Well, apparently not any more these days, especially when you have the $59.99 Radio Flyer Classic Bumper Car. This classic piece of work can now be enjoyed every single day, guaranteed to drive you nuts if you’re sick and tired of fun fair ditties. After all, it will come with seven sounds which are activated with bumping action. This wall-friendly bumper is safe to play at home, since it won’t mark your walls or furniture thanks to foam bumpers. Purchasing multiple cars are perfect for kids aged 1 to 3 to bump into each other, saving you a whole lot of money compared to bringing them to the fun fair frequently and forking out dollar after dollar for them to have some fun. Something tells me that the age range for this toy won’t make it too appealing for adults who are looking for value-for-money purchases in the long run….

Fivepoint gloves – Because regular gloves get in the way of your tech

Posted: 29 Nov 2010 06:50 AM PST

It's already that time of year again, the chill in the air, all the leaves off the trees and the temperature dipping past the freezing mark. I love the cold weather and I look forward to the holidays, but geez, I hate how gloves just seem to get in the way of everything. I cant use my smartphone without taking them off. My iPod, forget it, and my camera.. I've missed many a shot because I was to darn cold to take my gloves off to set up the picture properly on the touch-screen.

Well I have just the thing for you, and just in time for winter. Fivepoint gloves, with specially-designed conductive fingertips, they let you type and tap on your touch-screens without ever taking them off. Awesome.

Color Wonder Sound Studio – Coloring goes high tech

Posted: 28 Nov 2010 09:38 PM PST

Ah the primary school rite of passage, coloring. How I remember the importance of a neatly colored page and my teachers gentle suggestions that I stay within the lines and the pride I felt when my "artwork" made it to the front of the refrigerator.

I remember the thrill of a box of crayons containing *gasp* 4 different shades of blue.

Well the time has come to put away childish things, because even coloring has gone electronic.

Crayola, the folks that bring you the mess free Color Wonder series of products have taken things up a notch with the Color Wonder Sound Studio that can bring your child's drawings to life with interactive sounds.

The drawing board works with Color Wonder paper and lets you choose from over 50 sound effects that can be placed anywhere on any Color Wonder coloring page, by selecting the desired sound, and placing it where you want it on your page with a press of your finger. The sound effects will play back as the page is being colored.

The Interactive Drawing Base comes with 6 sound cards, 5 Color Wonder Mini Markers, 12 pages of pre-printed Color Wonder art and 6 sheets of blank Color Wonder Paper.

Available for around $23.00 from  www.amazon.com
