Love And Technology

Calling all big kids: have you ever been jealous of the kids zipping around on those shoes with the hidden wheel in the sole? Cursed the shoemaking gods for not thinking to extend the same favors to adult sized sneakers? You’re not alone.

Dualeez, evidently a company full of kids-at-heart, have built these Mutli-LED Strap-On Skates to leave a blaze of color as you skate around the quad/office/grocery store/wherever. No batteries required (it’s all magnetic flashing-light technology), the pair of skates easily strap to the heel of your sneakers adjusting to fit your shoe, and are quickly put on/removed so you can throw them into your bag once you’ve had your fun. With two wheels on either side of your heel you’ll enjoy a little more stability than those poor kids with only a single wheel in the center, but mind your balance (and your toes!) to avoid a full-force faceplant. Available from Glow Authority for CAN$39.95.

While the world soldiers on to treat and purify our tap water, let’s face it — they’re not doing a real bang-up job. If they were, we’d all still be drinking straight from the faucet instead of mounting water filters and buying bottled H20. But you’ve noticed the difference, don’t like the way that tap water looks or tastes, and have decided to do right by your body and consume the cleanest water possible. Here’s the thing: your hair and skin are just as delicate as the rest of you and would LOVE the same level of TLC.

The Wellness Shower Filter is touting itself as an “anti-aging shower system”, but that’s not the real selling point: it’s that the same sort of system you’ve got hanging from your kitchen sink can now take out all of the harsh toxins from your shower, too — the chlorine, harsh metals and free radicals that dry out your skin and can even cause breakouts. The filter even goes one better by putting a little love back IN to the water — utilizing rare volcanic minerals, water is effectively “softened” and can help contribute to a more hydrating experience by increasing the residual moisture content of your skin and hair. Plus this purified water contributes to reducing the bacteria and fungal growth in your shower, so it may even speed up your bathroom cleaning. At $249 it’s a bit of an investment, but for healthy skin — and maybe a few less bottles of moisturizing lotion in your lifetime — it seems a decent trade off.

Crocs are one of those seriously divisive brands — you either love ‘em or hate ‘em, but either way you fall you’re probably going to laugh when your dad shows up for dinner at a nice restaurant wearing black socks and bright blue Crocs. And now they’re releasing the perfect accessory for that fashion-blind weirdo in your life: a matching Crocs Cell Phone Case.

Because why not.

With all the crazy colors and jibbitz (we actually had to look that one up) standard to the Crocs line, the new cases are expected to hit the market on May 1. No word on pricing, but if you’ve already thrown down for a pair of shoes you’ll probably be ok with the pricepoint for the case.

Thanks to a giant leap in technology, old-school point and click USB missile firing systems will never be the same. The new USB Webcam Rocket Launcher will now give pranksters the newly added feature of being able to control remote missile launching systems via webcam anywhere with internet access.

With the use of MSN messenger you will be able to remotely assess the landscape of your firing station and unleash havoc from the cozy comfort of your workstation. Want to up the ante? Grab one of these USB gadgets for you and a friend so that you can video chat, share files, and fire missiles at each others heads!

The USB Rocket Launching System also doubles as a regular old webcam so, if your already in the market why no take it to the next level for just $59.99?

What is it? Laser gun? Telescope? Nope. This thing called MySky has built-in GPS, LCD screen, magnetic north sensors, electronic accelerometers, & complex circuitry.

Take the MySky out of its package, plug in some batteries, go outside, preferably at night although even when you can’t see them, the stars are still there during the day. Now let the MySky figure out its location and time via GPS. There are three different basic modes to using the night sky - Identify, Find, & Guided Tour. In ‘Identify’ Mode, the default, you will be presented with a real time LCD view of the night sky, complete with constellations. Simply point it to the object of choice in the real sky, and shoot. It will identify! You can also take a ‘Guided Tour’ of the best objects available to you at the moment based on your location, date & time. Finally, if you want to locate a specific object (planet, comet, galaxy, etc.) - you can navigate through the menus, select the item and your MySky will point out its location in the real sky.

Is your mobile phone is your life? Well here is good news for you. There is always sometime when you really need to talk a lot then your cellphone battery went flat.Cellphones were originally designed to keep you connected while out in the field. Though “the field” can be rather lacking in wall outlets, so when your phone’s batteries run dry, and you’ve gotta top up, you’ll need a portable charger. The Turbocell Charger uses simple and readily available AA batteries to pump some go-juice into your cellphone’s lithium ions. As small as a pack of gum, and with enough connectors to mate with nearly any manufacturer’s phone, you’ll be good to go, no matter where it is you’re going.

This is a very cute gadget! Very cute! What this iSmile Flowerpot do?
The iSmile Dancing Flowerpot speaker lights up and smiles at you, bopping and flashing in time to the music. The little flower grins and sighs when good mellow music is playing, and much more energetically when the beat ramps up. But when things get too quiet, your sweet electronic friend looks sad and blue, gets bored, and eventually goes to sleep. It has real personality, and will quickly become your iPod’s best friend!

What? Xray bag? No kidding?
The X-Ray tote and shoulder bags, made of a space-age woven plastic fiber, appear to have been bombarded by X-rays, and have magically made your eyes sensitive to their reflection. It appears as though your stuff has gone through the security check at the airport (although, we highly recommend AGAINST carrying these through such a checkpoint as the NTSB, as a rule, has no sense of humor).
