Be Alert, and alarmed
Snooze buttons are a non-morning person’s worst nightmare. Particularly if you’re a non-morning person with a 9-5 job or perhaps an 8.30 to 5 job that you’ve reinterpreted as a 9-5 job… anyway…
Here’s an alarm clock that you actually have to stand on (as some sort of proof of life) for it to turn off. Fantastic. And clever.
You can LED a horse to water
Shower time would be much easier without the tentative dipping of a toe into the water as a thermometer. Which is why this idea is so cool (or hot)… it’s a showerhead with inbuilt LEDs that change colour as the temperature increases.
It’s about $US40 – much cheaper than this £2,799.00 alternative.
Found here. And here.

Holiday Pac-ing
Think Pacman is the pinnacle of 80s design? So do Disney. Apparently. They’ve just “retro”-fitted an 80s themed resort with a Pacman exterior.
Balanced diet
Ever wondered just how much your daily output weighs? Or your input? Here’s a nice graphical representation…
Stache your drinks somewere special
Perhaps like me you suffer from an inferiority complex because you can’t grow a moustache – probably not if you’re female – here’s something that will help me, and those of my hirsutely challenged ilk… A nice clip-on moustache for your drink bottle, so that whenever a drink is pressed to your lips you feel properly manly.
Most unpointless USB drive ever
You know what this is? The most awesome USB drive ever – even cooler than the guy who turned his finger into a thumb drive… it’s a shuriken. For your ninja themed office.
It’ll only set you back ¥10500 for 2GB of storage and comes with this warning:
Please note that this product is not a “real’ Shuriken, and cannot be used as such, also we would like to remind you that this product may be dangerous due to its sharp edgez and MUST be handle with care.
Chicken feed
Next time you’re having a BBQ featuring charcoal chicken, or indeed any occasion when you’re serving any sort of chicken, liven up the party (almost literally) with these ceramic chicken heads… a bargain at amazon – $US14.95 for the set of three.
Herbal Tetris
For those of you looking for some other Tetris inspired design – perhaps to complement the Tetris dining set or Tetris shelving I’ve mentioned before – here’s a little set of herb pots, or perhaps coloured dishes for keeping safety pins and stuff in…
