Oddities from Gizmodo

HO Scale Humans!

I found this today on Gizmodo. It’s pretty sweet. It’s a video of an Australian beach, using a tilt-shift lens to take off centered stills. When strung together in a video, it makes everyone look like they just stepped into an HO sized train layout.

Ooh, This Would Be Nice At Work!

usb_fridge_front.jpgI found this cute little gadget at Gizmodo. I would love to have this at my desk. I don’t like leaving my soda in the fridge here since we have little thieves running around the office, but then my soda is warm come lunch time! Gotta have something to keep my Pepsi Lime stash cold at work! Might have to think about it next paycheck! :)

Oddities from Gizmodo – April 17, 2007

It’s time for another roundup of odd and interesting things that Gizmodo has found to make our life more productive (or at least more entertaining)!

To start it off, here is an interesting USB hub and flash sticks from those kooky japanese! :)

Ever wanted to play with a lifesize version of the classic game Mousetrap?

Never fret about being without pen and paper again! This handy little pen has it all!

This could prove to be a fun little to for the geek in your family! It’s the next step in the evolution of water powered vehicles. It would be fun to have a race between this and my steam engine tractor! Of course the high tech look tells me that it would probably win.

Ever get frustrated with that traditional closet hanger? Why not try this new version. Make your closet a work of art even.

Blog-O-Sphere Tid-Bits – March 11, 2007

I have a few comments on the “From the Archive” feature, so I have put up a poll in the sidebar to get your feedback. I will leave it up for a couple weeks to see what people’s thoughts are.

On with the tid-Bits! :)

Kevin answers the question about which one was a lie… and, well, I was wrong. :sad:

Howard has posted his rant on the whole Ann Coulter controversy. And it isn’t necessarily the stance that most have been taking, but I would have to say I agree with him. Looks like Best Gay Blogs thought it was a worthy article as well!

My boyfriend, Dan, tells of a great story about a co-worker that seems to not be able to control her hands… Meet Giggle Crotch!

Spooky brings us a cute picture of their newest little one.

What happens when you are in a car and it’s hit by lightning? Gizmodo brings us a video from UK’s Top Gear.

Life After Coffee brings another great video. This time it is a video showing just how much effort one guy put into being able to be extra lazy at the big games.

I guess that is it for this week. :)

Coverflow on the iPod?

Gizmodo posted this video of an iPod enabled with Coverflow. Hopefully it will be here soon! That is soooo cool! They point out that it could be a fake, but I can hope can’t I?
