Keep your hands off my balls

Friday, April 18th, 2008

The Florida Senate today passed an amendment to impose a $60 fine for novelty nuts that often hang off of the trailer hitches of redneck pickup trucks.

Although lawmakers said they’re widespread in North Florida, the bill says that displaying reproductions of bull genitalia — one version has the brand name Truck Nutz — on a vehicle or trailer can lead to a $60 fine, charges of a moving violations, and points against a driver license.

I’m not a fan myself, but I have to agree with Senator Steve:

“I find it shocking we’d tell people with metallic testicles on their bumpers that this is a violation,” said Sen. Steve Geller, D-Hallandale.

Apparently these things started as two baseballs inside a pair of pantyhose, but damn have they come a long way!

tsketch

Anything that’s drawn on the wipe-clean panel activates a glowing light beneath so that it lights up. You can also change the flashing sequence to suit your preference – from a gentle glow right through to a pulsing strobe.

Surger

“The SURGER sends ultrasonic sound through the beer activating that instant rush of GUINNESS magic, creating a rich black body with a tight white creamy head.”

Only works with special cans of GUINNESS.

Here’s a youtube video of the suger in action.

Solar skimmer

solar skimmer

Surprisingly this is the first solar powered pool robotic skimmer on the market. You’d think sun and pools would be an easy connection. Too bad it doesn’t have the vacuum attachment.

Brick maker

This device compacts standard newspapers into briquettes. Interesting concept, but I’m skeptical on whether these would completely burn if compacted so tightly. Also, actually recycling the paper is likely a more environmentally sound choice.

I’ve been using the Maps function quite a bit lately and have been yearning for GPS capabilities. $90 ain’t too bad, but I’d love for something that didn’t stick out like this.

iPhone love

Wednesday, November 21st, 2007

My T-mobile Dash died Saturday night but fortunately my company came through, giving us all iPhones on Monday. I’m in love. Somehow it’s the first Apple product I’ve owned. I don’t have cable (or even basic television), but I got to watch Guitar Queero on my iPhone!

Other favorite features include calendar events with multiple alarms, visual voicemail, one touch stock updates, quick finger moves to zoom and zoom out on photos and the graphic design on the calculator screen.
