A Limitless Supply Of Virtual Bubble Wrap
May 9, 2008
You can rely on the Japanese to create gadgets that amaze and enthrall. Puchi Puchi is the latest creation from Bandai, the Japanese toy manufacturers and could be considered either a kid’s toy or an executive stress relieving toy. Whatever you consider it to be, you have to concede to its sheer brilliance.
Puchi Puchi is the term that the Japanese use to describe the noise that bubble popping makes and each Puchi Puchi has 8 buttons that closely resemble bubble wrap packaging. By pressing one of the buttons, it simulates the noise and action of popping the bubble but without ever having to destroy any plastic – a limitless virtual supply of bubble wrapping!!!
To say that Puchi Puchi has caused a stir would be a major understatement. They were first released in Japan in September 2007 selling an astonishing 1 million units within the first 48 hours of being released. Since combing to Europe, they have gained the adulation of celebrities like Jonathan Ross.
At just £6 each they’re a damn site cheaper than buying new electrical goods just to get the bubble wrap and they’re available in three colours – clear, blue, and pink. Oh, and the Puchi Puchi rewards regular users by playing a surprise sound when you’ve pressed it several times (a doorbell is the only one I know of).
Annoy The Hell Out Of Co-Workers And Brighten Your Working Day
April 27, 2008
Let’s face it, you could have the coolest job in the world, but when work beckons and deadlines loom, mundane objects suddenly display new heights of appeal. When a project needs working on, paper clips become the latest sculptural material. But why selfishly limit your procrastination to your own work?
The Electronic Rhythm Drum Pens offer a sure fire way to make you one of the most despised and irritating workers in your office. Next time your team is working on a million pound deal and you’ve only got hours to finish, crack out a pair of these pens and get beating.
When you beat the pen on the desk, a synthesized drum sound is played through the miniature speaker mounted on the top. Two switches enable you to alternate between tom-tom, snare, and cymbals. Unfortunately, there’s also an on-off switch to avoid potentially disasterous drum solos in the middle of taking meeting notes.
What’s more, these drum pens are so innovative that you can even write with them. At less than a fiver each, there can be no better way to whittle away ten minutes than attempting to recreate your very own Phil Collins drum solo.
Go on, get creative.
Top 3 Weirdest And Most Useless iPod Accessories
April 26, 2008
When it comes to having the most ridiculous accessories of any product, the iPod is hands down the most popular product on the marketplace. There are literally thousands of pointless, though admittedly sometimes cool, accessories to have graced the iPod accessory list but somehow we’ve whittled it down to just three for your enjoyment.
3 – iPod Toilet Paper Dispenser
It’s a toilet roll dispenser and an iPod docking station. Speakers are hidden inside the arms of the dispenser and it supports all models of iPod that have a docking connector, or Shuffle USB. A very handy gadget I’m sure.
2 – The iPod Breathalyser
Personal breathalysers have become almost as popular as iPods. Well, OK, there’s a few of them about now. But why go to the hassle of owning a breathalyser and an iPod when you could have both conveniently wrapped in one pocket sized gadget? Genius.
1 – The iPod Stethoscope
The iPod stehoscope doesn’t just provide doctors with a convenient and practical place to store their iPod. Oh no, because that would be useless. The iPod stethoscope also enables the lucky owner to record their patient’s beating hearts for playback at a later time.
Honourable mentions must also be made to such incredible items as the iPod George Foreman grill, the iPod G-String, and the pink iPod vibrator (it’s called the iBuzz if you’re wondering).
Why not show off your innovative ideas. Let us know what you think the next best useless iPod gadget should be.
The Graphic Equalizer T-Shirt - Oh Yes
April 25, 2008
Have you sat listening to the latest Boyzone single musing as to why nobody has invented a t-shirt with its very own sound-sensitive graphic equaliser? Well, of course you have, because you’re only human after all.
Fortunately, there’s no reason to muse over this particular problem any longer. The T-Qualizer Graphic Equalizer t-shirt is exactly that. The graphic equaliser responds to the beat of any music (even Boyzone – go figure) and flashes in time to the tunes.
T-Qualizer creates a line of unique clubbing software that includes this innovative masterpiece. While the company itself is US based, fortunately there are resellers and stockists all around the world.
Ideal as a gift for the avid clubber, or perfect for those looking for something a little different to wear this summer. And they’re surprisingly low priced so accessible for all.
Also keep a look out for the desktop T-Qualizer (available in Classic, Chiller, and Raver), and a range of clothing with more to follow soon.

Our review:
I was lucky enough to receive one of these micro copters for Christmas from my sister and was so happy to get it (it is true men are the biggest of kids). The helicopter is small enough to fly indoors but I found it better to give it a go in the back garden (less things to hit). The picco copter actually only takes around 15 minutes to charge and will fly for around 5 - 7 minutes. I love this little gadget and whole hearted recommend it as a gift for any man of any age!
