Orbitwheels OB1

I’m not certain if I will ever be into skating again, but if I ever were looking for some new outdoor sidewalk surfing activity, I would definitely want to get a pair of Orbitwheels.

You might be looking at the Orbitwheels and think: that doesn’t look easy. Well, neither was riding a bike the first time, right? Yes, using the Orbitwheels means learning some new type of motion, as the Orbitwheeler must move their legs in a snake-like motion to get around.

I have included a five-minute YouTube video of what it is like to use the Orbitwheels, and I was amazed, yet not too surprised, that one minute of it is a series of disclaimers. I guess OSHA has been all over this product and made a list of warnings that read like the Ten Commandments.

The video shows that the Orbitwheels are able to fold up for compact storage. The footpads can pop out of the pad and store within the circular skate itself.

Clearly, the Orbitwheels’ target audience is the young people who are looking for the latest skating thrill. If this is you, or you know someone who is, then you have the perfect gift. You should be able to purchase the Orbitwheels at the Inventist website for $119.95. Source

The LP to CD Converter

The LP to CD Converter is here to rescue your record collection from a destiny of gathering dust on an old forgotten shelf in the garage.

Back in the days when IWOOT wore short trousers (a horrendous sight if ever there was one) the internet was still a twinkle in Al Gore’s eye and the only place to get hold of decent music was in a dusty record shop, and people’s music collections were often big enough to take over an entire wing of the house. You couldn’t just switch your PC on and plunder the world wide web every time you felt that your Gloria Gaynor collection was looking a bit sad. Ask your granddad, he’ll tell you. Listening to music wasn’t as simple as it is now – you couldn’t shuffle through your collection at the touch of a button and the only way to have made your music portable involved a wheelbarrow and an extension cord.

Now you can blow the cobwebs off your old Led Zep LP’s and bring them crashing into the 21st century. The LP to CD Converter is so technologically advanced you won’t even need a computer to transfer all of your records onto shiny, convenient CD’s. This record player has a CD burner incorporated into the design, so you won’t need any extra cables cluttering up your already crowded office space at home. A staggering 7000mb of onboard memory will record up to 80 minutes of music and store it on the record player until you’ve inserted a blank CD – this is vital to the recording process, and we’ll tell you why: the stylus on a record player is VERY sensitive and will pick up all manner of vibration while it runs along your record’s groove. CD burners aren’t known for their quiet demeanour so the memory means that when you do finally commit to transferring the record to CD, the recording won’t be marred by the chattering of the CD burner – grunting and clicking like R2D2′s backing singers.

As with all other LP converters you can, of course, connect this up to your PC or Mac, which opens up a world of possibilities. You can bypass the CD altogether and transfer the songs directly to your iTunes, or if you’ve decided that your scratched copy of Tubular Bells could do with a clean up before you transfer it to your MP3 Player or CD then the software that’s been included will have your record sounding as good as new, removing all the characteristic pops and fizzes of old vinyl.

Once you’ve spent a couple of rainy weekends with the LP to CD converter you’ll no longer need to gaze wistfully at your old record collection, trying to muster up the motivation to choose an LP and then commit to flipping it over once the first side has finished – you can keep your music collection, old and new, safely stored wherever you want

Glass Pool Table – The G-1

The G-1 is a pool table that has a glass resin surface to play on. Looking at the pictures you will see it is absolutely fantastic in how it has been designed.

It was created by Nottage Design and uses a special material that coats the glass surface to make the pool balls move and spin at exactly the same speeds as traditional felt tables. The bumpers and pockets are each built to international standards which means you will be playing the exact same game with the same speeds etc… but on a table that looks far more classy.

Under the glass there are runners which guide the balls in to their resting place once pocketed. It is truly fascinating to watch the video of how it looks in use (below), so go check it out.

On to the technical side of things. The glass surface measures 15mm in thickness and is covered in a special substance called Vitrik which provides the right amount of friction needed.

The downside, and there is only 1… It costs $30K.
