The Best Things Have Already Been Invented?

by Danni 6/29/2010 4:06:00 AM

Hang up your thinking caps, inventors, because you'll never top bacon pancakes and they were invented decades ago. Possibly by Aunt Jemima herself. This looks like a pretty nice way to start the day… Now all it needs is a stick!  My best friend since second grade's mom always did this with eggs.......yum yum YUM!!! Not the eggs, my best friend since second grades Mom. Now she was delicious...

Thanks to Paul O., who invented sausage pancakes but Jimmy Dean bought the patent and buried it.

Keep those inventions coming and be sure to send a prototype to me and I'll review it for you right here on dannisblog.

Stand-up toothbrush: what took so long to invent this?

by Danni 6/24/2010 10:09:00 AM

Stand-up toothbrushes are toothbrushes with an integrated Weeble Wobble (read: weighted base) at one end so they always stand up and don't collect fecal particulate laying on the bathroom sink (oh it's there -- you can't see it but it's there).

Take one look at this brilliant design concept for a toothbrush, and you can see how it's a big improvement over current designs. Set it down, and its head pops upright, thanks to a weight embedded in the bottom.


The toothbrush's bulbous base fits neatly in the hand, too. It's such a good idea, it won a Red Dot Concept Award.

Impressive. But you know what would be even more impressive? If the actual brush heads were replaceable so I didn't have to buy a $10 weighted handle every time I needed a new brush. BOOM -- CONSIDER IT INVENTED! Hello, Oral-B? Transfer me to the check-writing department. JK, Manual brushes are so 1997... Sonicare FTW!

Thanks to Jason W. for the link. He's a stand-up guy who never, ever wobbles on the job.

Daisy-Shaped Egg Fry Rings

You know what's better than breakfast?

Breakfast in bed.

Breakfast in bed with me.

You know what's beter than breakfast in bed with me?

Nothing.

Turn out charming shaped eggs that add a special touch to breakfast or brunch. These nonstick rings let you fry eggs in whimsical designs that fit neatly on an English muffin. Arrange the rings on a heated fry pan or griddle, crack an egg into each one and lift the rings off when the eggs are ready.

  • Arrange the rings on a heated fry pan or griddle, crack an egg into each one and lift the rings off when the eggs are ready.
  • Set includes four steel rings.
  • Nonstick coating ensures easy release and cleanup.
  • Wood-tipped handles stay cool.

Keep churning out those ideas people and I'll keep blogging about them.

Moshi Moshi!!

by Danni 6/8/2010 9:46:00 AM

Now this is something I can really get behind. I love my Droid but damn if it doesn't feel good to use a regular phone handset every once in a while. Well, here's the solution. The Moshi Moshi!  Say it again... Moshi Moshi!!

Comfort comes to any cell phone, smart phone or computer with the MM02 Curve mobile handset by French designer David Turpin. The ergonomic design allows you to communicate by phone comfortably--and safely. When plugged into a cell phone, user can keep talking while checking out a PDA's email, the internet or calendars. A high-quality speaker and microphone provides clear communication. The weighted base and silicon mat protects phone from wear and tear. Connect to computers for VOIP calls--the ultimate communication and business tool. The Curve is compatible with all 3.5mm jack phones and computers, including the iPhone, BlackBerry, MacBook and iPad. Mac computers can also use it out-of-the box for Skype or other VIOP applications.

How cool is that? Somebody buy me one... oh, and a droid too because I don't really have one of those yet either. Check out the video below for a super sexy English guy showing you all the Moshi, Moshi features.

Those English guys are so dreamy...

The World's First (and probably last): Underwater Pogo Stick

by Danni 6/3/2010 5:15:00 AM

The Sub Jumpa is a $60 pogo stick made for use underwater. It looks marginally more fun than drowning.

This is the only pogo stick designed for use in swimming pools that allows you to perform a variety of waterborne stunts as you bounce off walls or bottoms. A rigid ball filled with water fits into the non-slip footrest, providing responsive push-off when compressed against a pool's floor with your body weight, enabling you to splash effortlessly in shallower water and bound powerfully through deeper water. The stick is made from heavy-duty ABS plastic with two rubber handlebars for a firm grip. For use with in-ground pools with solid surfaces

Oh man, just imagine the hours of enjoyment actually having a good time playing with this thing. Impossible, isn't it? It is.

Thanks to Fenn, who doesn't need a pogo stick to have a good time in the water -- just a ton of pool noodles.

Keep those inventions coming and be sure to send a prototype to me and I'll review it for you right here on dannisblog.
