Pinch that nasty green stuff away!

There’s a reason why this fruit is one of the world’s favorites. The little green leaves can be plucked swiftly and reliably with Bea. The fruit stays firm and whole and can be prepared straightaway for serving up delicious deserts – and scoring! What would the summer be without strawberries? Get a bunch and enjoy them either straight up to your mouth or as strawberry lemonade. Summer hello! We are waiting.

Now, if I would see someone walking around in the streets with this on… it’s panda hunting season!

This will not fool the pandas in the habitat at the zoo. They’ll be all, "Whatchu talkin’ ’bout, Willis?" But It is freaking adorable. The hood features two little panda ears: black on the front, white on the back. The poncho closes with four black, oversized buttons. It has two mostly decorative pockets on the front. The cape measures 20" from the hood seam to the center bottom edge, and is considered one size fits all. At the second button (which is roundabout your shoulders), it’s 44" around. At the bottom, it’s 80" around. And we were reminded while measuring this that we should warn you that it sheds. This is not the sort of product you want to wear in a cleanroom. We’re getting confirmation from our vendor, but we think this is 65% polyester / 35% cotton. It is 100% artificial panda.

Squeaky and cute – invite these rather strange bookends into your library. They are house trained, don’t eat much and are a great conversations starter. They don’t  only look good between your books but also great in your shelf in your room, kitchen or on your dashboard in your car. Just add super glue and they won’t move a bid even hitting the breaks like an out of control driver. I wish they would have them in the colors of the rainbow, would get them all then!

Ever got whipped by some measuring tape? No? Well you can now go to this modern exhibit of fine handy craft art.

Rows of motorised measuring tapes record the amount of time that visitors stay in the installation. As a computerised tracking system detects the presence of a person, the closest measuring tape starts to project upwards. When the tape reaches around 3m high it crashes and recoils back Each hour, the system prints the total number of minutes spent by the sum of all visitors. Commissioned by the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney.

This is just crazy, especially considering the price for $438! Man! I do understand that Japan is frequently hit by earthquakes and that you have to leave your home in an emergency in seconds and that you don’t have a lot of time to think about what to take with you.

I was in a similar situation not too long ago in Valencia. Not sure if you remember when that theater burned down behind our house? And we came home in the middle of the night after being out with friends. Well we, I was alone and I snuck by the firemen to run in our apartment to snatch our dog, the two laptops and an external hard drive. And I ran out again. When a fireman saw me leaving the house he was screaming at me. Good thing I didn’t understand barely a word back then when my Spanish was non existent.

So having a bag for your pets in an emergency ready is not a bad idea but em DIY. Hello!!!

You will have tons of geeks out of your neighborhood ringing it just for the fun of it. The big questions is why we are getting all so shaky about gadgets we have seen like 20 years ago. When I was like 5 years old all the gadgets from Star Trek and Star Wars was just the coolest thing I could have imagine. Now with 35 years, sadly nothing changed and I’m still drooling over them.  Now I can get a partial retro gadget fix with this Star Trek Door Chime. It warns you when someone approaches your door and you can choose between different sound effects like SWOOSH.

Now get your geek on with this easy to the wall mounted retro gadget.

I would be too nervous to find the right and correct way to sit on it, otherwise ouch!

This is the stationary bicycle that uses an epicyclic transmission system that provides magnetic resistance for intensive spinning workouts. Inspired by 19th-century monowheels, its 36" diameter flywheel is driven by a chainring system consisting of four gears with varying cogs-every pedal rotation by a rider results in four flywheel rotations, thus a rider spinning at 100 rpms causes the flywheel to spin at 400 rpms. At such high rpms, a copper ring fixed to the flywheel’s exterior works with six magnets installed around the flywheel’s enclosure to generate a magnetic field that provides 12 levels of resistance, controlled by a touch-screen display.

I don’t drive my cars, I just stick them in a bubble!

The CarCapsule is a clear vinyl bubble that seals your car, truck, boat or motorcycle away from the elements and keeps it looking fresh and new. Dust, dirt, moisture and insects are locked out, but a built-in fan circulates filtered air within the bubble to eliminate that musty, damp smell that can ruin your stored car. The super-tough vinyl bubble is made from an anti-static, 10 mil PVC. The durable zipper is 100% nylon, so it won’t scratch your vehicle. The CarCapsule is impervious to oil, gas and antifreeze and is mildew resistant and flame retardant.
