Labyrinth Aquarium

Give your fishy friends something to do other than just glub around with the Labyrinth Aquarium ($5,500-$6,500). Made from Lucite, this six-globe aquarium is designed for tropical fish, and includes silk plants, three lights, filters, air pumps, and cleaning equipment, as well as an optional dedicated table in cherry, black, or carbon fiber. Just think of it as a BiOrb on steroids.

Fisker Surf

California-based Fisker Automotive made headlines with the release of their luscious long-range electric-hybrid, the Karma. Now they’re releasing a 5-door model that looks like a Dodge Viper with room for the kids and a dog. But there’s no overblown V-10 engine in this machine, just a gentle electric whir from under the hood. Yes, it’s more than a Prius, and that’s the point exactly.

CineSkates

Of course your homemade videos lack the smooth, fluid cinematics of a real movie. That’s because movies are shot using cameras on wheels or dollies, so they can sweep through the shots, creating a smooth, natural pan. Now an MIT engineering student has created a simpler, more portable and much cheaper way for you to get the dolly effect.  It’s called Cineskate, basically, a tripod on wheels. Pretty Nice Design!!!

Inkling by Wacom

The Inkling digital sketch pen captures a digital likeness of your work while you sketch with its ballpoint tip on any sketchbook or standard piece of paper. Designed for rough concepting and creative brainstorming, Inkling is ideal for the front end of the creative process. Later, refine your work on your computer using an Intuos4 tablet or Cintiq interactive pen display.

In addition to capturing your sketch, stroke by stroke, Inkling allows you to create layers in digital files while you sketch on paper. Digital files are transferred to your computer using the Inkling Sketch Manager software, and later, exported to applications such as Adobe® Photoshop® and Illustrator®. Files can also be opened with the included Inkling Sketch Manager software to edit, delete, add layers or change file formats.

I like this thing…If it maintains the same qaulity as my Wacom intuos…It will be the BOMBDIGGITY!!!

Cadillac ELR

The forthcoming Cadillac ELR is proof that sometimes concept cars actually make the cut. In ’09 it was an auto show sensation as the “Converj”: futuristic and full of potential. Now, as the ELR, this American-made extended-range hybrid is slated for production. But details from Caddy are still sketchy, “soon” is the closest they’ve come to announcing when it will actually be on the showroom floor.

Gun Lamps

Are you the dad of a teenage daughter? If so, order several of these lamps. One for the entryway, maybe a pair for the living room. Hopefully they’ll cause an unsettling, perhaps terrifying effect, on the zit-faced teenage dirtball who’s picking up your little angel for a “movie” date.
