Send your fish to school with this training kit


A school of fish takes on new meaning with the Fish School Training Kit that won’t really increase the IQ of your pet fish, but at least it will create an illusion that they’re smart enough to respond to verbal commands. Get a dog (or dolphin) if you want a more obedient pet, as most generic fish are plain dumb. I know I won’t be forking out $39.99 for this, but hey - if you think it is amusing to see your fish play catch, football and basketball, then why not adorn your aquarium with the Fish School Training Kit?...interesting

Flower Pot Ring is practically useless


Most people would wear a ring to signify their marriage alliance, while some others who have gone past the lovey-dovey stage would prefer to use rings as a platform to show off their newfound riches as hubby rakes in the dough. No idea on why the Flower Pot Ring is in existence though, are you married to Mother Nature? It comes with a tiny plant complete with real soil within - makes me wonder whether you’ll need to be really careful while wearing this as the entire plant with its roots could just tumble out whenever your hand is turned upside down. A fashion statement, maybe, but inconvenient - definitely!

Happy WakeUp ArousalClock wakes you up using your cellphone

If you are having issues with waking up overly groggy and want nothing more than to stay in your warm bed every morning. Then you might try an alarm clock like this. It waits to wake you up until you are almost awake or already awake. Which means you won’t be dead asleep and will be more likely to wake up nice and refreshed. Now that’s only if it occurs just before the time the alarm is set for. Otherwise, it will wake you up at the regularly scheduled time.

This alarm is actually an app for your cellphone. How it monitors your sleep is by utilizing the microphone in your phone and monitoring how you sound. Just place the phone under your pillow and it will listen all night as you sleep. Now, this sort of thing could be hard for those that squirm a lot, because the phone could easily go from under your pillow to onto the floor. To purchase full rights to the application it will cost you 49.95€ or about $73. That or you can try it out for a week for a lower price to decide if the application will work for you.

Portable Fishbowl by Michal Shabtiali




This is the portable fishbowl concept by Michal Shabtiali. I think that it will be useful when you getting some fish from the shop. I experienced a few times of plastic bag water leaking but managed to reached home before the water goes off.

Single Seat Helicopter designed by Igarashi Design




Hmmm… this single seat helicopter looks interesting. It is designed by Igarashi Design. It has everything that gives the private flight a higher reliability. Training is needed before you fly this helicopter but wondering how the single seat helicopter training works.

Maybe you can start with the remote control helicopter first then with the standard helictopter with trainer beside you and when you get familiar with the standard one then I think you won’t problem of flying the single seat heli.

Alright back to the topic, the design looks a bit robotic and it is very small compared to other helicopter. There’s no door I see, raining time will be a big headache. But no stress, as this is just a design.
