Only I've gone and blogged all over my pc
There are so many stumbles I've been sent on the month or so it's been leading up to Christmas that focus on a single gizmo, gadget or pretty whats-it, I felt I should blog somehow about a few of them. I've decided to pretty much steal an idea from Glen's recent blog where he reviewed his top 15 albums of 2008 and compile a list. Mine won't be as well thought out however and ordered in only whichever ones pop in to my head before I drool to death. All of the ones I'm most smitten with have been almost entirely unattainable through cost, region or just being some genius's designed fantasy toy. I would say 'steady on' but I would genuinly hump several of them. Also, these are essentially my perversly out of proportion stocking filler list of christmas wishes so if anyone's in desperate need of impressing me this season, you're welcome to send one of these stupendous items my way. I've also decided to include a link to whoever Stumbled me the items in case you want to experience more of their internet rambling. (Those Stumblers are also welcome to tell me to smeg off with the linking but I'm pretty sure it happens on StumbleUpon anyway) If you're prepared with correct footwear for entering this cave of treasure, we may now begin the spelunk... Portable Wii
The Stumbler Original Article Product Website I really can't see a downside to this one. According to the acrticle I was stumbled, it's about as compact as you're likley to get with a Wii. The whole thing is the right colour too so long as you're not one of those bastards who managed to get a nice red or otherwise coloured Wii. I'd kill for a red Wii...hm?  The display is obviously only as big as it can get without being some sort of fold out paper-thin monitor or in fact being a built-in projector.
The connections hub type thing at the back impressed me the second most in the way it sort of deals with all of the rear connections of the wii in a single block. I was most chuffed with it's inclusion of the infra-red lights, meaning you could also use the unit while playing with it at home and not worry about the massive wire trail left by the original IR sensor bar. Least chuffed, however, was I with the fact that it's only available in Japan. I'd imagine it's not too long before there's one over here but as it's unattainable for now and probably out of my price range for splurging at £111.63, here it lives on my list. Next one ? Lets... Dough-Nu-Matic Automatic Doughnut Machine
The Stumbler Original Article Product Website First off, this thing terrifies me. At least, me owning one does. Automatic? In my mind, this thing is living in my kitchen under a pile of millions of doughnuts, constantly eating ingrediants greedily and shitting out cooked pastry. Sure, I'd enjoy his droppings for a while (he's now been named Doughnaven in my head too), but I'm pretty sure it would soon turn Christine on me and I'd be found 30 stone heavier up a tree somewhere crying my way through a brioche. That whatever that is asside, it's also awesome, for more obvious reasons. It makes doughnuts! Who doesn't want that ? Also, in a blind drooling meander through google looking for a product page, I found these beauties on www.donutmachines.net, I looked around for prices for these lard masters and they seem to retail for around £1500 :  
OK, so they're definitely within the crazy horror machine category but to just read their specifications is astounding in a way that makes me proud to know they're products of American, where I don't live in or come from. Here's some specs for the big guy on the right, available from the website above: * Make all popular size donuts with quick-change system * Mini Donuts..........2,400 per hour * Large Donuts.........360 per hour * Medium Donuts........480 per hour Seriously, someone throw me a WTF. Break!I'm going to return to working for a few hours then come back and finish this list. I'll add the rest to a part 3 of today. Then probably fry myself a sugar-dusted jam sandwich sprinkled with sweet sweet jealousy. |
