Smells Like Teen Spirit

Posted: 31 Jul 2008 06:39 AM CDT

What better way to realize if a song stinks than sniffing out the proof with this MP3/aroma therapy entertainment pod that not only plays sweet sweet tunes for your ears, it also blows sweet sweet scents for your nose. Just pop off the end cap, load up a selected scent tablet and a wave of odors are delivered right to your nose by your earphones. Yup, your earphones. When done doing blow, just coil up the buds right back into the device. Designed by these five people Yangwoo Kim, Daiho Hyun, Taehyun Kim, Jungchan Moon & Gayeon Lee, they want to call it “Sweet Honey”, and so can you. Let’s see what cold I load up whilst I be jammin’ some Bob Marley melodies? I would not want to see what happens when a song truly “rocks!”

A Fem-bot that Reads Ancient Novels “…smashing baby!”

Posted: 31 Jul 2008 12:26 AM CDT

Whether its Princess Amidala-bot or a Murasaki-bot, depending on what you are into, this is one of the coolest useless robot functions ever. Like me, you may also enjoy a good Japanese audio version of an ancient Japanese Novel. Also like me, you may have the deep desire to have Japanese female-ish robots read you your ancient Japanese Novels. Well your dream has arrived. The gear geeks over at Kyoto University’s Robo-Garage have assembled a design by Takahashi Tomotaka that might possibly be the most Japanese product ever. Standing a most shy foot high, this robot will read to you Murasaki Shikibu’s “The Tale of Genji” (often considered the oldest novel in existence). And courtesy of the built-in MP3 player, this baby will act out the story as good as the best Disney animatronics.
