Retro 70s Styled BOB TV/PC/Video Game Time Controller Limits Childrens Play
2008-05-20 10:07:00 Sporting aesthetics that appear to be fresh from the 70?s, yet, for us at least, lacks any sense of retro appeal, this device, known merely as BOB, has been designed to assist parents in controlling the amount of time their children spend watching the TV, playing on their gaming consoles or sitting at their PC thanks to an integrated timer that will automatically shut down the associated device once the allotted access period is over.

Daniel Rybakken?s Daylight Comes Sideways Animated LED Ambient Wall Light [
2008-05-01 14:30:00 It?s been a while since we featured any form of lighting here on TFTS but the moment we came across this fascinating concept from Norwegian designer Daniel Rybakken, known simply as ?Daylight Comes Sideways?, which uses a series of dimmable LEDs to not only create false daylight (an artificial window if you will) but that also ads artificial shadows allowing for animated details, such as a cloud passing by or a tree swaying in the wind, we just knew we had to feature it here.

2008-04-09 13:03:00 Whilst whimsical in the absolute extreme we cannot help but like these Speaqualizer TQ Chiller and TQ Raver Lightshow Digital Frames from Flashwear who, incidentally, are the very same chaps that brought us the equally whimsical T-Qualizer T-shirt featured previously on TFTS.
Skip-away Pro Disc Repair System Repairs Your CDs & DVDs Automatically [Dis
2008-03-15 21:37:00 Anyone who, like us, is old enough to remember when the CD format was initially launched will also no doubt recall that, at the time, the CD format was cited as being pretty much indestructible (I?m fairly sure I recall a tech TV program actually frying an egg on one, but that could be down to my medication) though, of course, that has proved wholly untrue ? hence the need for devices like this Skip-away Pro Disc Repair System.
OpenPeak OpenFrame Touch Screen Home SmartPhone Offering VoiP, Internet & M
2008-03-15 17:31:00 Whilst certainly not quite as distinctively styled as the previously featured (and insanely desirable) Thompson Symbio featured earlier, this OpenFrame Touch Screen Home Smart Phone from OpenPeak, like the Symbio, serves to push the boundaries and capabilities of home phone setups beyond that of merely being a phone much in the same way as cell phones have long since evolved from serving as mere handsets.
DIY Electronic LCD Post-It Note With Integral Trackpad ? Ideal For Forgetfu
2008-03-12 22:50:00 As far as self assembly projects go this DIY Electronic LCD Post-It Note is a frankly brilliant idea and serves to beg the question why a company hasn?t come up with a similar device that can be wall mounted in (say) kitchens allowing you to leave quick notes for your husband, wife or kids ? such as ?We need milk?, ?Do your Homework? or ?I?ve left and I?m not coming back - expect divorce papers in the post?.
Belkin Mini Surge Protector Sports Three AC Plug Protection & USB Gadget Ch
2008-03-11 11:43:00 Surge protection devices may be a pre-requisite for any computer user looking to protect their equipment from sudden spikes in power but, let?s be honest here, as practical as they are, surge protectors are not exactly known for getting the average consumer?s pulses racing ? or at least not until this Belkin Mini Surge Protector put in an appearance.

Sega Toys Mangekyo Rooms Kaleidoscope Gadget Aimed At Geek Hippies
2008-03-08 03:53:00 Having posted earlier about Sega Toys i-Spin one could be forgiven for making the assumption that we?re looking for a sense of continuity here on TFTS, you would, however, be completely wrong as we just happened to stumble across this Sega Toys Mangekyo Rooms Kaleidoscope gadget much in the same way as you wait hours for a bus then three come at once.
Uber Cool Gakken Self Build Vacuum Tube iPod Amplifier Kit - An Audiophile?
2008-03-05 13:02:00 As regular readers have no doubt gathered, we found fault with just about everything we featured yesterday primarily not because we were in a bit of a mood (though it has been known) but because nothing especially excited us but, thankfully, this simply fabulous and beautifully geeky Gakken Self Build Vacuum Tube iPod Amplifier Kit has served to resurrect us from our stupor, sending us running around the room in a thinly veiled dance of excitement like either a headless chicken or a complete idiot (yes, okay, it?s the latter).

Remote Controlled R2D2 Surround Sound iPod Home Projection Unit ? Pre-Order
2008-02-25 09:51:00 Way back in May of last year we posted about the seriously cool remote controlled R2D2 Surround Sound iPod Home Projection Unit which had taken, and continues to take the net by storm and now, at last, its available for pre-order in Europe ? though interested parties need to be fairly quick off the mark as only 4000 units have been allocated for European customers.
Bible Inspiration Alarm Clock Wakes You With Religious Quotes And Hymns
2008-02-21 17:47:00 In all honesty due to the quality of the image and the pathetically sparse information available concerning this product (the site cannot even be bothered to offer a price, would you believe) we ordinarily would not have posted about this somewhat curious Bible Inspiration Alarm Clock but the simple fact that it?s so very quirky means that we simply could not resist giving it a quick mention here on TFTS.
Orthopaedic Vibrating Alarm Clock Pillow Ensures You Wake Without Disturbin
2008-02-21 02:28:00 Upon first coming across this pillow with integrated alarm clock which can either wake you with a standard audible alarm or courtesy of the entire pillow vibrating (or, for especially deep sleepers, a combination of the two) we thought it a somewhat silly idea but, as we pondered writing this post it occurred to us that it?s not actually quite as silly as it initially seems.

The Ultimate Tabletop Retro Arcade Machine Boasts 150 Atari, Namco & Midway
2008-02-18 22:49:00 Those of you who simply cannot get by in a day without taking time out playing the arcade classics of yesteryear cannot fail to submit to involuntary palpitations at the sight of this beautifully realised Tabletop Retro Arcade Machine which boast no less than 150 arcade classics ? from 80?s classics such as Pac Man to Space Invaders, Asteroids to Battlezone (and, of course, Pong) ? though we should advise that this device is as expensive as it is desirable (and, we think you?ll agree, its very desirable).
Cool Hand Finished Cyborg Skull Serves as Novel Desktop Ornament
2008-02-18 19:54:00 On the whole we tend not to feature ornaments on TFTS as, with all due respect to ornaments in general, we find it especially hard to wax lyrical about such somewhat functionless items ? but we simply could not pass up on offering a brief heads up concerning this decidedly geeky and beautifully detailed Cyborg Skull (if only because this is one ornament we wouldn?t mind proudly displaying on our desktop).
Mustek PF-E700 Dual Screen Multi-Media Digital Photo Frame Atomic Alarm Clo
2008-02-08 11:07:00 Another day, another digital photo frame (or so it seems) but what distinguishes the newly announced Mustek PF-E700 from the hoards of digital photo frames currently available ? and hence makes it worth mentioning here ? is the fact that Mustek?s PF-E700 takes a somewhat differing approach to competing digital picture frames in offering a secondary display unit for the purposes of displaying ancillary information.
Arsene Clock Concept ? The Minimalist Analogue Inspired Digital Wall Clock
2008-02-04 19:34:00 It?s been a while since we?ve featured a clock here on TFTS but this concept by American designer Montay François has really got our pulses racing with its minimalist, highly stylised design and beautiful fusion of digital and analogue inspired time telling.
Zhu Fei?s Spice Gun Concept For Trigger Happy Food Seasoning (One Shot or T
2008-02-04 18:14:00 Firstly we should apologise in advance for the poor quality of the imagery contained within this post but the moment we came across this Spice Gun concept we felt compelled to post about it as it?s just such an ingenious and fun idea ? and a little fun never hurt anyone (except when I tried roller boarding for the first and last time, but that?s another story).
Boeing 747 Jumbo Jet Engine Cowling Reception Desk Ensures Your Reception A
2008-02-03 22:48:00 We recently posted about a B-52 Stratofortress Ejector Seat Office Chair which has proved, and continues to prove remarkably popular so we thought we would follow it up with another particularly novel aviation themed office item that?s sure to appeal to any discerning aviation aficionado with jet fuel pumping through their veins in the form of this B747 Engine Cowling Reception Desk.
SmartParts Announce SP8PRT Digital Photo Frame with Integral Colour Printer
2008-02-03 14:33:00 With the popularity of digital photo frames showing no signs of abating manufactures are keen to come up with products that distinguish themselves from the plethora of products available and, whilst we?ve seen digital photo frames with integrated weather station functionality and even digital frames that can have their imagery transmitted directly from your cell phone, such as the Parrot DF7700, this offering from SmartParts is the first to offer a fully integrated colour printer ? allowing you to gain hard-copies of imagery directly from the device itself.
B-52 Stratofortress Ejector Seat Office Chair - Tailor Made for Aviation Bu
2008-02-01 10:38:00 If you understand the pun in this post?s title then we can safely assume that you are an aviation ?buff? and, on that premise, the prospect of owning one of these novel B-52 Stratofortress Ejector Seat Chairs from Moto Art will no doubt lead to uncontrollable bouts of excessive salivation.
Curious ShowerFloss Low-Tech Dental Hygiene Shower Attachment Gadget
2008-01-31 01:46:00 With humankind?s ever persistent drive to push the boundaries of technology ever further it?s refreshing to know that there are companies out there who obviously go to considerable lengths to circumvent all that we have learned over the past few decades to bring us products that manage to redefine words such as ?mundane?, ?rudimentary? and ?just plain tacky? (ok, that?s three words) ? of which this ShowerFloss low-tech dental hygiene shower attachment is a prime example.
iWaveCube Personal Portable Desktop Microwave ? Great For Gamers and Blogge
2008-01-25 01:26:00 If, like us, you seemingly spend almost every working hour at a desk then you might as well support yourself with a host of gadgetry that makes life just the little more bearable and, apart from having your own beer on tap in your home office (we have that one covered courtosy of the previously featured Keg O Rator), what could possibly be more convenient than a mini iWaveCube desktop microwave?
Loc8tor Lite Lost Item Locating Gadget for the Absent Minded

Samsung SC9540 Silencio Halo Styled Bagless Vacuum Cleaner with Nano Techno
2008-01-21 15:31:00 Samsung’s SC9540 Silencio bagless, multi-chamber vacuum cleaner seemingly offers a design that bares more than a passing resemblance to the helmets worn by the characters featured in the Halo franchise of console/computer games.
Cheap and Cheerful Mini Digital Photo Frame with in-built MP3 Player
2008-01-18 19:45:00 When it comes to digital photo frames (which, incidentally, were one of the hottest selling gadgets over the Christmas period) you probably fall into one of the following camps ? you either think they?re the coolest gadgets going or you?re completely nonplussed ? but, for those whose fall very much into the former camp, who happen to be looking for a mini digital photo frame for a seriously low price, this mini digital photo frame could be worth further investigation.
Mvix MX-780HD HDMI Media Center To Come With Integral Torrent Client
2008-01-18 14:50:00 Following on from their MV-5000U model, Mvix?s new MX-780HD Media Center not only boasts all the featured you?d expect from a fully fledged, dedicated media center ? a vast array of supported video and audio file formats, streaming via your computer courtesy of Wi-Fi or Ethernet, internet radio ? but it also supports high definition in 720p, 1080i and 1080p formats as well as the inclusion (either at the point of release, or as a later revision) of an in-built torrent client.
Laser Target Alarm Clock Offers a Little Morning Target Practice
2008-01-16 12:58:00 Novel alarm clocks are a dime a dozen these days but this Laser Target Alarm Clock is certainly more novel than most in offering a little morning target practice in order to help wrestle you from the depths of your slumber. |
