If you have money to burn (some do, some don’t) this is the excess item of the month! The Obscura CueLight pool table is from Esquire’s ultimate bachelor pad in NYC. It features a sensor system and projector that illuminates an image only where the balls are on the table. Its definitely looks fun to play.
The Swiss are not known for the automobiles but, they are known for making small, detailed mechanical bracelets i.e.watches, as well as hiding money. That may change, check out this simply designed, little gem of a car. The e’mo was created at Rapperswil’s Technical University with the vision to simplify the impact of the automobile on the environment. This little electric car looks cooler than a hotwheel, and would go well with the Plus One bike. Available in 2010. For more info go here www. e-mo-car.ch

So we just discovered this little gem from Google. Everyone knows the site will translate text for you but, they have this little tab/link that you can add to your tool bar that translates any web page you’re on to your preferred language. This makes life a little easier. They also have code you can add to your own website that will translate it automatically for others!
This crazy ass application lets you measure the distance of objects via a sonar device on the iPhone. This actually works, unlike the handy bug repellent applications out there. (itunes)

News comes that Nintendo has filed patent for a Horseback Riding Saddle Controller for their Wii system. Cool for girls and boys who like to ride ponies but, what about for the woman who used to ride ponies and now requires something different?
“Nintendo says their inflatable seat can be used to simulate riding other animals. The patent lists “bulls, camels, elephants, burros, dolphins, whales” and imaginary creatures such as “dragons, griffons, unicorns, giant eagles” as possible mounts. Nintendo also suggests the seat can be used for vehicles too like “hang gliders or other aircraft, a magic carpet, a motorcycle, a jet-ski, a land or sea exploration vehicles.”
I’m just sayin…
