Bathomatic, The Automated Bathtub Filler








Bathomatic connects to AMX and Crestron Control Systems for automatic bathtub filling. “The bathomatic automatically lowers the motorized plug, fills up the bathtub to a predetermined temperature and depth, and can even add bubble bath and fragrances to the water.” The unit can be installed either in a new bath, or a pre existing one. The unit comes in two models, the bathomatic basic, with a controller, motorized waste kit and basic UI, and the bathomatic eco ultimate, with an eco controller, motorized waste kit with filler, basic UI, in-line heater and eight-way oil dispenser. It kind of takes the romance of that significant other drawing your bath for you, though.



Red and Blue LEDs Light Up Your Faucet Water


LEDs are all the rage in every possible gadget and now they have even entered the water supply.


This LED Faucet Light creates the illusion of colored water pouring directly out of the tap. ThinkGeek’s product comes in two options; simple blue LED streaming water and temperature-sensitive blue LED that changes to red LED when the water hits 89 degrees or more. This way, when you’re brushing your teeth in the dark, blind drunk, you’ll be sure to take caution when the water turns from a soothing blue into a warning shade of red.


Shaver Phone


Never be late for work again! The brand new Mobile Razor Attachment is major breakthrough in communication cleanliness. For years we've been frustrated by the impossibility of shaving whilst on the phone. This may seem unlikely, but in an age where communication is power, very few people are able to be separated from their mobile for more than a few seconds at a time. Because of this phenomenon, far too many people were growing beards (which is simply not acceptable), or letting their leg and armpit hair get frighteningly long - purely because they couldn't shave and talk at the same time. Unsightly hirsuteness is now a thing of the past thanks to the astonishing Multi-Blade Polo Frail Mobile Shaver Attachment. With six cutting-edge blades you're guaranteed a shave so close you'll feel you've been exfoliated. The first blade shaves you close, the second shaves you closer still, and the other four do more or less the same job with varying degrees of closeness. The attachment fits onto any mobile phone, and is activated by the vibra-call function on your phone. All you have to do is get someone to call you relentlessly (often you'll find your Mother will oblige) to ensure a clean and smooth finish.

“Living Dead Dolls” Sadie Pencil Sharpener is too sickening


Horrifying, disgusting and ruthless are just few of the words that blurted out of my mouth the moment I saw this “Living Dead Dolls” Sadie Pencil Sharpener. Designed by artist Matthew James Taylor, it’s actually a doll’s head and you stick the pencil into her eye to sharpen it. Eeks! There is a little button on the back of her neck that pushes the shavings out of her mouth. Yucky. I doubt if any of us will actually buy this gruesome piece of stationary for office or home.

Password Journal Jam n' Shred pen


Everybody likes some or the other kind of gadget combination, be it a UV meter with an alarm clock, a Pen with a laser or a miss army knife having a compartment to push your small perfume battle. Jam 'n' Shred pen is an equally exciting gizmo which is a pen, a paper shredder and a FM RADIO!!!! So listen to the spicy chit chat of your favorite radio jockeys, pen down your thoughts and then shred them immediately in case you don't want anyone to read it. Moreover the pen fits perfectly into the Password Journal pen compartment.

Boombox in a Shoe


Take a look at this design concept of a CD-playing athletic shoe. (We had considered titling this post “BoomShoe” but then thought again.) It comes with everything you need to play CD’s built-in, including a compact disc player, speaker, tweeters and a small knob for volume. It even has some controls for play, stop, forward and back embedded into the side.

The design picture is pretty cool but I would bet you would have some real “skipping” problems with this one. Throw in some Flash memory and a small LCD screen and I think we would really have something.

"Pot Holes" on the High Way



This should get drivers to slow down!

Aquarium Toilet Bowl


Some ingenious plumber cum marine biologist thought up a way to make double use of the flush tank in your standard crapper. This aquarium comes with some fake plants, a filtration system, and a seat with an "Under the Sea" motif. One thing to note before you drop $450 bills on this bit of porcelain: It uses half of its reservoir to hold your goldfish, meaning it probably has reduced ability to flush your home grown sea cucumbers. But note the LEDs - doubly useful for nightime fish gazing and peeing. And when your goldfish turn into floaters, this'll make it easier than ever to give them a burial at sea.
