Beauty & The Geek: Keyboard Pants

 

By Craig Garcia March 20, 2012 - Geeks of the world rejoice! There is some new wearable tech out there and it's certainly a little different than you'd expect. These are the Beauty & The Geek keyboard pants. That's right... keyboard pants. They may look a little weird at first, but what they lack in design they make up for in functionality; These jeans come fully equipped with a wireless keyboard, mouse and speakers!

The keyboard was designed to be comfortable to use while sitting down, however the placement of the keyboard is a little 'iffy' ... as long as you don't mind typing on your crotch in public you shouldn't mind to much. These concept pants are currently not available for purchase, however once available you can bet I will be buying at least 1 pair.  For more information on the keyboard pants, and some other sweet tech check out the website here.

Follow Up On The Free Energy Charger By Johan (Video)

After posting the article regarding Johan's free energy charger I was innundated with emails, a lot of the emails didn't believe the article and demanded proof. Typically I leave providing the hard facts up to the inventors themselves however I was so intrigued by this invention that I had to do a little research.

The following videos posted by the inventor show how the circuit works, and to my shock and disbelief also showed the unit recharging... this is incredible and here's hoping this replaces gasoline and oil in the near future!!

Check out the 4 videos below to see Johan's free energy charger in action. 

All Hail The Conquering Dyson!! 

By Craig Garcia March 2, 2012 - I love Dyson products! I do, I can't help but love the innovation, creativity and all around coolness of almost every one of their products. I first noticed Dyson when they introduced their vacuum 'Dyson Ball'. This was a creative approach to a vacuum and really drew my eye to the company. Since then I have fallen in love with a few products and sadly was only able to field test them in store, and in a few select locations.

My favorite Dyson product has to be the 'Air Multiplier' , this fan not only employs some cutting edge tech but it's damn sexy!! Awhile back I was lucky enough to play with an in store demo, and if you'll excuse the pun, I was blown away. This bladeless fan was able to hit me with a steady, cool breeze from 15 feet away without any choppyness or 'buffeting' if you will, and to top it all off there was almost no noise! This was the deal maker for me, a quiet, powerful sexy fan was exactly what the doctor ordered and Dyson certainly delivered.

The only thing I didn't like about this product was the price... I understand  that there are development costs and that all new tech usually costs a bit more, but I couldn't justify shelling out the $400 bucks for a fan. Well to be honest if my wife would have let me...I probably would have purchased it, but that is still an astronomical dollar value for a fan... regardless of how sexy it is.

The 'Air Multiplier' is very sexy, however there's more. Thanks to a trip to the washroom while on my honeymoon, I discovered a whole new line of Dyson products...Introducing the Dyson 'AirBlade' this bad boy is not your typical washroom hand dryer. It's designed to take your hands from soaking wet to Sahara dry faster than can read this sentence. Check out the video below, I felt a little weird shooting a video in the washroom, but when you see sexy tech... you just gotta share it.

The 7ron (Kisai Seven) Watch - An Amazing Concept, But A Mediocre Reality 

By Craig Garcia March 2, 2012 - When I first saw the concept drawings of this watch I was blown away, my first thought was "That's so cool, I must have that watch!" What I'm referring to is the Tron Legacy LED concept watch... and with most concept images the product looks absolutely beautiful. But for me anyway, my excitement ended with the concept.

The "Tron Watch" was chosen from a competition featuring many interesting pieces, and is now in full production and available for purchase at toykoflash.com... the only catch is, it is not exactly as shown. The conceptual images show a sleek smooth looking time piece, that would make owners proud and others jealous.  As is most cases, the actual watch appears to be a little different from the original designs.  The 'Kisai Seven' watch (as it is now called) seems to have a bulky squarish look to it and now seems to resemble more like a novelty gift than a unique sexy watch.

As you can see in the videos below, it is still a very interesting and unique device. The LED display is vibrant and I love how  the two rings are used to determine the time. What I really don't like is the bulky-ness of this product. If you look at the watch face, it almost looks like one of the old calculator watches, large, bulky, and all in all unattractive.

I wish I could say that I still want this device, however the truth of the matter is I no longer do. Had this product been able to retain it's original design to look thin, sleek, and sexy then I would certainly be forking out the $139 for it. But with end results like this I believe I will be searching for alternatives.
