Mycestro Wearable Mouse

It's been a long time since I wrote about strange computer mice on here. You wear this mouse on your index finger and you move the arrow by holding the side of it with your thumb.  According to the manufacturer's website the inventor (Nick Mastandrea) saw somebody struggling to use a normal computer mouse on an airplane and he came up with this idea. You can buy one here:

Cordless Electric Snow Blower Shovel

I know Spring just started and nobody wants to talk about winter anymore but I'm gonna talk about this anyway. During this winter I came up with the idea that we need a snow blower that is also a shovel. Unfortunately somebody else has already beat me to it and invented it and once again I didn't get to invent something. Unlike a normal snow blower you don't have to put oil or gas in this and there's no pull cords either. To make it work you just have to charge the battery. There isn't a point to buy this right now but you can buy one here:

or you can go to Home Depot and get one.

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.

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:

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:

The Tongue Drive System

The Tongue Drive system was made at Georgia Tech. It allows people who are unable to use their hands to use a computer or a wheelchair. The user has to get their tongue pierced than it will be able to track what your tongue does through magnetic sensors in a retainer so it can replace the computer mouse or a joystick on a wheelchair. It used to have head mounted magnetic sensors but the headgear was uncomfortable and had to be recalibrated whenever it slipped.

Dual Sided Remote

Later this year Samsung is releasing a new remote that has buttons on both sides. It will have the normal buttons on top and a QWERTY keyboard on the back. I don't think it's a good idea because you could accidentally hit a button on the back while holding it or if you set it down on the table.
