A Christmas Story - Inflatable Leg Lamp Lawn Ornament

I ended last year’s Christmas Countdown with the Leg Lamp from A Christmas Story, so it seems kind of fitting that I use it to start this year’s list. However, this version’s not designed to sit in your living room and only be enjoyed by guests and other visitors. No, this one is actually inflatable and made to sit on your front lawn so that the entire neighborhood and anyone who drives by can enjoy the “soft glow of electric sex” as Ralphie put it.

Fully inflated it’s about 6 feet tall and 18 inches wide and the leg itself is covered in Christmas lights keeping it visible even when it gets dark outside. Of course there’s nothing stopping you from putting this in your living room instead of on the front lawn, but at that point you start to cross the line from being just a fan of the film, to being that creepy neighbor who has an inflatable leg lamp in his living room.

Amazon’s got it for $69.39.

1974 Lamborghini for wall art – Art’s really expensive

Rarity is a strange fascination, and if car’s an addition upon – the combo could be real fatal, not really though. Richard Moriarty, an ordinary customer in the real heat of obsession has brought his beloved car out of his garage right on to the walls of his living room, sounds strange, but the cute tale of fanaticism is quite hilarious. Moriarty tired of having his 1974 Lamborghini towed repeatedly owing to the stalling engine, choose otherwise to hang the car on a wall of his living space. Previously having removed the car’s engine transforming the beauty into a “200-mph coffee table,” the entire hanging procedure still required the use of a 70-ton crane, to lift the 1,000-pound car through a skylight to its final resting place, where it hangs over a solid glass staircase. The car hanging has got the lad some publicity for sure, costing only $60,000 when bought; today the same will fetch him millions – because that wall hanging’s light glow.

Casio’s Latest Gadget Makes Printing CD Labels Easier

This looks simple enough!

One of my many bad habits is that I never label my CDs when I burn them. I use a Sharpie once in a while, but my handwriting is so bad that I never know what I wrote anyway. Sure, I could print out labels and affix them to the CD, but that’s a pain. That’s why I like this new Casio CW-E60 Title Printer.

This little device will use a thermal transfer ribbon to print the label onto your disc. The Title Printer comes with simple software to design your labels. You can choose from 8 different colored ribbons for your prints. The printer will set you back $60.

iHound Software Will Help Your Stolen Gadgets Phone Home

Great concept, now let see how long before the thieves find a way around this.

If this fantastic bit of software works as advertised, getting your stolen gadgets back from the miscreants who took them will become just a little bit easier. iHound Software is a free download that, once properly configured on your device, will automatically contact you as soon as it’s plugged into another computer via USB. You’ll get an email with the IP address of the computer it’s being used on, and it will even print out a dandy report which you can then bring to a police station. Hopefully you can then get your ISP to cooperate, and help locate the twit who thought it cool to swipe your iPod.

The software works on a variety of devices (list here), and is able to track up to three devices. The company plans on keeping this free, though they may release a Pro version in the future.

Flying above Spite with the BA 100 Bradley Aerobat

Atul:

Buying private planes is a delicacy of the Arabs, but what if you are not a rich oil merchant from the emirates yet you have the zest to fly a personal birdie! We have monoplanes for that feel, don’t we and that’s why we should hail Bradley for the Chicago based ‘bird’ maker gives us a miniscule boondoggle feel so that we don’t envy the Sheikhs’.

That feel comes at a low catch especially when they sell it through our beloved eBay and before it becomes a sugging act, the latest bird placed on the bid by Bradley is a 2007 version of the all metal BA 100 Bradley aerobat aircraft. Read more
