360 Degree Camera Prototype By Olympus
Olympus Japan today announced the development of the worlds first 360 degree lens and camera prototype. With a vertical coverage of 180 degrees this camera is a boon to surveillance systems everywhere. This camera won’t miss a thing as it can cover every possible angle so long as the room isn’t too asymmetrical.
No word from Olympus if the prototype camera will be commercialized or how much it’ll cost, but you can bet it’ll be out of the price range of most consumers.

No commentsPro Flip Cup Player Gloves
We take our drinking games real seriously. Whether it be public inebriation or an intense match of Flip Cup, you’ll need gloves to make sure your hands are not only protected but also comfortable for reduced muscle strain. That’s just what the manufacturer of these gloves promise: a glove that will aid performance in a game of flip cup.
When the night is late and you’re staggering home, vomiting after every five steps you take, you’ll be happy you bought these gloves when you fall to your hands and knees in crapulence. At least your friends will have been amazed at the flawless performance of Flip Cup you played earlier that night.

No commentsMini Air-Conditioner From Stir Fry
So far, it’s been a hot summer and it isn’t getting much cooler. Do yourself a favor: order some takeout (preferably Chinese food) and turn the carton into a mini-desktop air conditioner. Fueled by ice and powered by six batteries, this air conditioner is simple to build and serves a practical use for sun stroke prevention.
Clearly, it only cools a small space but it beats burning your ass off in the heat of summer. So, check out this DIY and you’ll be cooling off in no time.

No commentsThe Definitive Dark Knight Figure
Oh snap! The Dark Knight is just around the corner and if you’re as psyched about it as I am you’d have already purchased your ticket.
So stop the press. Fucking stop it. Behold, 12″ figures resembling the Batman and his ensemble of teched out transports. These replicas are of the highest detail of any Batman toy I’ve ever seen. Look at Batman’s face, he looks like he’s Christian Bale rendezvousing with a call girl. He’s got business and it’s not with the Joker. Coming soon in late 2008.
