It’s lunch time! Well, for me it is (west-coast time). What better way to kick off lunch than to stare at these deceivingly delicious towel cakes. At first glance, they look like sugary heaven, but unfortunately, they’re nothing but 100% colored cotton. I really don’t see the purpose of these, unless its some kind of mean joke to an obese friend. Who would make such a mean thing?
Brought to you by the same folks that started the whole Diet Coke and Mentos craze that you’ve probably seen all over the Internet, EepyBird is at it again. Instead this time, it’s called the “The Sticky Note Experiments”, where they make Slinkies out of Post-it Notes. I have no idea how they even came up with it, but it’s definitely one colorful display of office boredom. One more video after the jump.
Invented by Mireia Subirana, a student at UDK Berlin, “Ampel Pong” is practically a game of Pong for the streets. Designed to be played by pedestrians waiting at a red light, the game is projected on the crosswalk and the paddles are controlled by the ‘players’ standing on each end of the street. The paddle follows the player as he/she moves side to side on the sidewalk. Interestingly, cars that pass by are treated as obstacles, causing the ball to reflect (or bounce) back.

At a bistro called ’s Baggers in Nuremberg, Germany, waiters do not exist. So, who serves and takes your food orders, you ask? No one really. Each table in the high-tech restaurant are equipped with a touchscreen computer monitor for patrons to order from. Once they’ve ‘tapped’ and paid for their order, the cooks from up above send your food down a spiral rail straight onto their table, entirely powered by gravity. This post wouldn’t be worth anything without videos, right? Videos after the break!
Sushi themed gadgets are awesome, and these Sushi USB Flash Drives are no exception. They look almost good enough to eat. Perfect for the sushi lovers, you can get your flash drive in tuna, shrimp, Ikura (salmon roe), Futomaki, Uni, Mentai (Pickled Cod Roe), Ebi, Egg, and even Sake! All you need is some wasabi and soy sauce.
Damn, I’m hungry…
Too lazy to make your own Munny Doll speakers? Well, lucky for you, there’s a just as cute speaker up for sale by designer Marka27 at Tainted Visions. The Midnight Mexico MiniGod speakers are made from vinyl, measures 17-inches tall, and resembles the look of a totem pole. However, if you want one, you better hurry because they’re in limited quantities.
The Drawdio is essentially a pencil with a musical synthesizer attached to it. The synthesizer uses the conductivity of the pencil’s graphite to generate different sounds with each stroke. Some may call it music, I call it noise. Either way, it’s a kinda cool toy, although it can become annoying real fast. The Drawdio runs on a AAA battery for many hours of digital noise.

From Etsy seller Janis13, comes the Classic Nintendo DS Lite Pouch Pack. The pouches available come in two forms: the classic NES controller and the old-school Nintendo Gameboy. They are both for sale individually for $13, but if you buy them together it’ll only cost you $21 — that’s a $5 saving. I have a feeling these pouches will sell out quickly, so you might want to pounce on these if you’re interested.
