Nymi Band

In the past I've shown on here a usb device that requires you to say your password out loud or one that deletes everything if you type it in wrong. I have now found a wristband that lets you log onto your computer with your ECG (electrocardiogram). According to the site they decided to this instead of a fingerprint scanner because (as the tv show Mythbusters once proved) fingerprints can be easily copied with a piece of tape and than people can hack into your computer but your heartbeat can not be copied or replicated in some way. This isn't available yet but you can reserve one here:

Auto Mee S- Screen Cleaning Robot

A couple years ago I bought an ipad and one thing people are constantly telling me to do is clean off all the fingerprints on the screen. I should probably get this. This little robot that looks very similar to Roomba moves around on your smartphone or tablet and cleans it off with it's rotating cleaning pad. You can buy one here:

Coffee Table Touchscreen Computer

Have you ever been sitting on the couch and wish you were on your computer but you don't feel like getting up to go get your laptop, smartphone, or tablet than you might want this. This coffee table has a 32" touch screen, has wifi, and also has a 500 GB hard drive. Unfortunately the website says it's no longer available but here is the link to buy it anyway.

N°41 Workout Computer

One thing most people don't know about me is I can type 80 words per minute. I don't think I would be able to do that with this keyboard. Instead of a normal keyboard the letters are on separate punching bags which you have to punch to type. This was just presented at the Istanbul Design Biennial. I can't find anywhere to buy this yet so if you think it's a good idea and want this than you'll have to find it yourself.

More Than Just A Banana Piano

This device lets you connect bananas or pretty much anything to a computer to use instead of a keyboard to play games or to play like a piano. Just like the vest I posted on here about yesterday this was also made by MIT. You can buy one here:

ebook vest

One thing I really like about the ipad is reading ebooks. If you ever felt like you want to know how the main character feels than you would probably want this. This vest connects to an ebook and it will change the lighting, sound, temperature, chest tightness and can also change the heart rate of the reader. It was created by some engineers at MIT. Unfortunately you can't buy this anywhere yet.

Edible Email Notifier

This device was made for something called Maker Faire. It rewards you with m&ms every time you open an email. Finally you can look forward to being scammed by a Nigerian Prince or some ghost girl trying to kill you because you didn't send an email to 50 people because at least you will be rewarded for it. You can read more about it here:

Laser Projection Bluetooth Virtual Keyboard

Last year a viral video went around the internet showing an iphone projecting a keyboard. It turned out to be a fake. What I found is real though (even though I found it on thinkgeek). This device that looks like those flipcams they were selling a few years ago will project a keyboard onto any flat surface and it is compatible with ios 4 or later, android 4.0 or later, windows xp or later, and blackberry 10. You can buy one here:

Lomography Smartphone Film Scanner

If you like 35mm film and want to download it on your iphone, well now you can. It is called the Lomography Smartphone Film Scanner. Before you use it you have to download an app which is only available for iphone or android. Unfortunately this works only for phones not tablets. You can buy one here:

Camera Mouse

I've never come across an occasion for this but lets say you are using a computer all of a sudden you decide you need to take your 1000th selfie pic of the day (because you're tired of taking pictures of your feet) but your camera's battery is dead or the card is full. Now you can flip that mouse upside down and take a picture with the camera that has been built into the bottom of that mouse. Or if you need to scan a QR code the mouse also works as a scanner for QR codes. You can buy one here:

Remote Control Mop

It took me all year but I've finally found something that's weird enough for this site. I didn't update the site last year because I couldn't find any electronics or gadgets that people thought were strange. Well anyway, here is a cleaning tool for the lazy people. It's a remote control mop. It comes with a controller that kind of looks like a Playstation controller to control it. I don't know if you can make this thing go as fast as those remote control cars though. You can buy it here:
