iTouchless Toilet Flush Handle replaces your manual toilet handle

1 Comment / Gaming & Toys, Home Automation / By /

iTouchless Toilet Flush HandleWe’ve featured our share of touch-less/touch-free devices over the past, so what’s another right? Actually, this one should have been high on the list – it’s a touch-less toilet tank flush handle.

The iTouchless SF001C Sensor Flush Automatic Tank, yes that’s a mouthful, replaces your toilet tank’s handle with a high-tech proximity sensor and a power motor to actually take care of the downward motion you normally perform on the handle.

The unit comes with all of the equipment you need to retrofit your throne. About the only bad thing is that it requires 4 C batteries, although they’re supposed to last up to 3 years or 23,000 flushes. It’d be nice if it could use rechargeables.

Make Your Own Lightsaber Kit Even though a GE Engineer says we lack the force to create a Star Wars Lightsaber, this kit from ThinkGeek says otherwise!

The kit has 12 parts (small parts so Jedi’s over 6 years old) that fosters a fun building experience between geek kids and geek mom and dads. While this kit does teach important Star Wars trivia like which Jedi and Sith use certain lightsaber colors, it also goes into the principles of optics. When they bring this puppy in for show and tell, they can be more than your average fanboy and wax on about lasers, plasma, and convex and concave lenses. This 12-piece set is guaranteed to be a hit with your aspiring Jedi and their science teachers!

Yoda USB Desk Protector

2 Comments / Computers, Gaming & Toys, Gizmo of the Day / By /

Yoda Desk Protector Protect desk this will… the Yoda Desk Protector energizes using your computer’s USB port and protects your desk against the Sith and your boss’. If one of the bad guys comes around, Yoda fires up his lightsaber and first warns them to back off. Back off you will… or Yoda will slice your head off using his green lightsaber.

The Yoda Desk Protector comes complete with a super-long USB cable, so even if your last remaining port is way in the back of your tower, Yoda can still be out front where he’s needed. His motion sensor will detect movement between 6 and 9 feet away depending on the lighting in your office. While you’re sitting at your desk you can keep him in silent mode so he doesn’t drive you nuts with his nuggets of wisdom. You can only take so much Jedi Master before you go insane, after all…

RB3 will also have some re-imagined guitars designed to work with the game’s “Pro” mode which is an intermediate gameplay mode that is supposed to be somewhere between the game’s original accessories and actual musical instruments.

Rock Band 3 is slated for release by the end of this year (2010).

Limited Edition 24" Giant Stormtrooper If your dad’s really into Star Wars, you owe it to him to give 24 inches of pure awesomeness in this Limited Edition (only 1200 individually numbered being made for worldwide sale) Stormtrooper. This Stormtrooper is basically a mashup of giant Japanese toys of yesteryear and Star Wars Stormtroopers with free rotating wheels on the bottom of the feet, a highly detailed BlasTech blaster with unfoldable stock, spring loaded “Rocket Punch” firing fist, six points of articulation and painted using the same techniques used by Japanese toy makers of the 70s.

Japan began a toy phenomenon still revered today: the Jumbo Machinder (aka Shogun Warriors in the Mattel releases) – two feet tall, wheels on feet, and spring loaded fists. Well, guess what? The two have now combined in the Limited Edition 24″ Stormtrooper Super Shogun!

Microsoft’s Project Natal Released as Kinect

Gaming & Toys, News / By /

Project Natal has been released as Microsoft Kinect with fanfare today. The black Kinect sensor plugs directly into the Xbox 360 and contains a camera, audio sensors and motion-sensing technology that tracks 48 points of movement on the human body and includes the ability to recognize faces and voices and is billed as Microsoft’s “Controller Free Game Device”.

With Kinect, game-players no longer need to memorize different commands for a hand-held control. “You are the controller,” said Mike Delman, corporate vice president of Global Marketing for the Interactive Entertainment Business. “You simply step in front of the sensor and Kinect sees you move, hears your voice and recognizes your face.”
