It sucks when your friends (or worse, friends of friends) break your shot glasses, does it not? Next time, rather than breaking out your sweet liquor gear, consider using ShotRocks to create your own breakable, edible shot glasses. The ShotRock Set is a freezer tray system that allows you to make four shot glasses out of ice at a time. The system includes a freezing base, four molds and a ShotRock serving tray that allows you to store and serve ShotRocks without having to get your fingers cold. Add a drop of food coloring to customize the glasses even further. Pick up a ShotRock system for $34.95.

Now, we know that everyone who has seen the original Webster
Batman television series has wanted a cool secret passage in their home. When Adam West tilted back the head of his Shakespeare bust, you knew good times were ahead. Now you can own a fully-functional replica of that same statuette. Standing 21.5-inches tall, you can plug any AC-powered device into it, and the hidden power switch will fire up the device of your choose. Now that’s cool. You can pick up the Shakespeare Remote Control Bust for $295 USD.

So, it’s the holidays, right? We gotta get some holiday cheer gear up, and we thought the Bonjour Cookie Factory might be in order. This is a 39-piece cookie-making set, which dispenses cookie dough in normal and super-size amounts at the touch of a button. The set includes a motorized dispenser, traditional and large sized cookie barrels and cutting discs, decorating and filling tips, and a recipe booklet. The holidays are near, don’t go without the oh-so-apropos snickerdoodle. For only $29, you have no excuse.
(Thanks, Randall!)

Simply put, the “Shower-Shower” is a product that automatically cleans a shower stall after each use. Very convenient if you have a stall-type unit, but I am unsure how it might work if you have a bathtub and shower-curtain type of setup. The unit has a control panel that allows you to set up cleaning preferences, and the cleaning arm applies a solution that disinfects, and removes calcium and lime deposits to get rid of that pesky buildup. One thing, this thing is a bit expensive - expect to pay at least $1,144.00 USD.

If you are a typical American male, it might be comforting to know that you - more than likely - shave completely wrong. If you use a disposable razor with 5 or 6 blades, you are not a proper gentleman. What you should have is a brush made of badger hair for starters:
Q: What are the basic tools you need for wetshaving?
A: The perfect shave has three ingredients: a good razor, a good brush, and glycerin-based shaving cream. But the biggest difference between wetshaving and the way most guys shave today is the use of a shaving brush. A good badger-hair shaving brush is the single most important ingredient in getting the perfect shave—if you change no part of your shaving routine except to add a good shaving brush to the mix, you’ll be astounded at how much better and more enjoyable your shaves become.
This is an excerpt from an article we found on MSNBC. A lot of good information here. If we try to make the switch, expect some interesting images.

Verizon enticed us to check out the unveiling of their new phone - Verizon One. Essentially, the 5.8 GHz phone looks okay and is packed with plenty of features to make it worth the $149.99 price tag. The Verizon One is supposed to be a conglomerate of all of your communication needs in one device. For the price, the phone also has an integrated 802.11g 4-port router along with a beautiful touch screen where you can manage contacts, address books, and schedules for each family individual. Since it already has an Internet connection, you can also use Verizon SuperPages to find restaurants, theaters, locksmiths, etc. It does a pretty good job in mapping results out for you, too. While impressive, this product does have a massive downside - it’s only available to Verizon DSL customers. Good going Verizon, way to isolate potential consumers.

Now this is off the hook, especially for those VW Beetle fanatics out there. Check it - it’s a Volkswagen Beetle replica with a digital alarm clock built-in to the windshield. Now, the fun doesn’t end there, as it (like all ZipConnect speaker systems) includes a ZipConnect module (with convenient retractable 18-inch cable and mini stereo plug) for playing any iPod, MP3, portable CD or satellite radio — any audio source with a headphone jack. The Beetle has working headlamps and taillights, with stereo speakers hidden in the wheels.

So you got me - I am a waffle lover. While they don’t come close to French toast, they do destroy the pancake in overall tasty goodness. That being said, combining waffles with technology certainly does get my attention. Jesse Klein, from right here in Washington State, has shown his waffle making robot to Arlington High School (from where he recently graduated.) What’s more, in addition to cooking the waffles up, the robot will slather on butter, pour on the syrup, and spray on the whipped cream as well. And people wonder why I love technology…

While we haven’t been at the pumpkin carving forefront over the past few years, we certainly welcome the opportunity to use a Dremel tool on something that, if ruined, we won’t cry about. That is what makes the Dremel Pumpkin Carving Kit such a draw. Complete with detailed instructions for carving elaborate designs into the squash, the Dremel tool sells for $30. Is there a happier way to get into Halloween? We think not.

This has to be one of the greatest kitchen inventions ever conceived. The Nuscüp is an ergonomically correct measuring spoon that can be dynamically resized by moving the slide up and down with your thumb. Despite the movable part, it can be used to measure both liquids and solids, and gives you millileter, ounces, and cup sized measurement increments. What’s more, there is an integrated magnet which allow it to be stored on the side of your fridge if it strikes your fancy.
