Are you thinking of getting inked? After all, celebrities do it, and so do sports icons – be they footballers, the star quarterbacks, professional wrestlers, or hoop shooters. Getting a tattoo has for some time already been the hip thing to do, but when it comes to the types of tattoo designs as well as choice of placement, well, I am quite sure that one is able to write an entire thesis with it and still not come to any concrete conclusion. Having said that, how many of us would think of tattooing our possessions, let alone a mobile phone?

Yes sir, we know that Apple allows one to engrave their iPods and iPads, but body artist Simon Templeman has come up with a rather novel idea – to be able to tattoo your favorite design onto the back of your smartphone. How is this done? Surely not with the traditional ink and needle that is meant to puncture human skin, right? For starters, he will be able to wield his magic using a special technique that was developed by him for the Nokia Lumia 710.

He managed to fine-tune a special air-brush, recreating the needle and ink effect of a tattoo – although this time around, his “canvas” comes in the form of a smartphone – a Nokia Lumia 710, to be exact. Simon says, “It’s a great way to make your phone stand out. Tattoos say a lot about people, so I thought it would be great for them to be able to put that individuality on their phone too.” This inspiration to tattoo handsets came about after Simon took a gander at the Nokia Lumia 710 alongside its bevy of interchangeable back panels.

Simon, currently 45, will rely on special lacquer layers in order to turn those designs on the phone as permanent fixtures. Not only that, he is not one to rest on his laurels, and hence has been looking into different ways of using a laser technique and burning an image on to the phone itself. At least Simon does not have to worry about his customers flinching at the sight of a needle, and neither does he have to fret about sterilizing needles before starting work on a new smartphone’s back. Just how much does Simon charge for his services? Prices start from £40 upwards, and just like any other ordinary tattoo, the price increases with the intricacy of the design.

If you want to start off the day right, then why not do it with the £6.99 Manic Miner Heat Changing Mug. This classic platformer has been transported over to the world of a drinking apparatus, and with the right amount of heat in your favorite beverage, you would not have any issues reliving the days of yore concerning Spectrum gaming right from the comfort of the future. All you need to do is add hot water (hot milk will do just fine as well), and see the classic scene from Manic Miner unfold – in full color, yo! Needless to say, once your favorite beverage starts to cool off, so too, will the heat changing ink fade away to black. I guess this is as good as any an indicator to let you know that you can now down whatever remains without worrying about scalding your tongue. This is a fully licensed Manic Miner product, so don’t worry about being accused of purchasing a knockoff.

We do know that ninjas – real ninjas, are so stealthy, that you hardly seem them around. In fact, they come and go like the wind, and you would not even have noticed. Well, for those who want to play the role of the proverbial stealthy assassin but do not have the physical requirements to do so, here is the $29.99 Ninja Remote Stealth Television Gadget and IR Jammer that lets you be a ninja – in a different way, of course. With this unique device in your hands, you are able to cheekily (and of course, stealthily) control just about any TV in the vicinity and watch puzzled faces and wrong accusations being pointed at one another.

It does not matter whether you want to fool around with the volume levels or change channels at your whim and fancy, the Ninja Remote Stealth Television Gadget and IR Jammer is capable of doing it all. It will have a working range of around 400 feet, and with the jam button, it will be able to prevent all other remotes in the area from controlling the TV. You can even snap self-portraits from a distance with the digital camera shutter button. Definitely for those with a trolling spirit in them.

I don’t even battle for the TV clicker anymore. At first it was a true test of wills, a war I felt I had to win. I first lost the fight to my husband, and now to my nine year old kid. I can’t remember the last time I sat back with the remote in MY hand, in control of the evenings entertainment.

Well thats about to change! Welcome the Ninja Remote Stealth Television Gadget and IR Jammer, get back the power that you gave away such a long time ago. This nifty little device will help you annoy the crap out of your friends and enemies, spouses and kids, or just about anyone, anywhere you would like to stick it to them.

Don’t care for the blood and guts war drama hubby has decided on? No problem, as the TV changes channels and the volume gets higher and lower, or the power turns on and off he might get frustrated and watch the TV in the other room, you know, the one with the uncomfortable chair, or simply jam his remote so that only the romance channel comes in or, for those special days where its not just his choice of television programming thats bugging you, choose the “bomb” function and cause the TV to change the channels and the volume at random for a whole  5-15 minutes.

The Ninja Remote Jammer also works with most digital cameras and can function in a less evil capacity as a long range shutter remote.

Imagine your delight next time youre sitting at a sports bar watching yet another endless round of golf and you alone have the power to change over to the Home Shopping Network, and there’s nothing anyone can do about it. Perfect! Now if only they could just make one that silenced cell phones, that would be awesome.

The power can be yours, all for only $29.99 from our friends over at thinkgeek.com

I have a trip planned for next week with my mom, I will come back Oct 8. I will ..(Read…)

The Kisai Rogue Touch watch is the latest TokyoFlash watch. It was previously featured on their blog as a concept last November, and now it’s become reality.

The Rogue Touch display is right out of science-fiction, so telling the time can seem a bit complicated. The outer ring tells time in one time zone, while the inner ring displays a secondary time zone.

You interact with the watch using a touchscreen face to change modes or set the watch, but it automatically locks after 60 seconds, and then you need to swipe your finger across the screen to reactivate it – a smart design choice.

The case has a polished gunmetal finish, and the display, illuminated by bright LEDs is available in four colors. The time-telling LCD is always on, so you don’t have to activate the LEDs to view the time, just to illuminate it in the dark.

Through 9/29, you’ll get free shipping and $20 off if you order the Kisai Rogue Touch from the TokyoFlash web store. After that, the watch jumps up to its regular retail price of $199 (USD).

Lately, I’ve been seeing a lot of Space Invaders-themed stuff. Although some aren’t things I’m very fond of (like the Space Invaders silk tie), there are some that I definitely think are worth getting (like the Space Invaders Alarm Clock and the Space Invaders Multi Tool.)

And another thing I really wouldn’t mind having?

This deck of playing cards from Art Lebedev Studios is made with a distinct Space Invaders theme. Instead of the usual Jokers and Kings and Queens, you get to throw out alien Aces to trump them all. The suite of each card is printed on it as well, below the letters or numbers indicating the card’s identity (I don’t how else to call them, but you know what I mean.)

And when you’re playing solo and just completed a round of solitaire? Conjure up the Winning Solitaire sculpture (at least in your head to congratulate yourself.)

I’ve been so lazy lately that I haven’t had the batteries of two of my wristwatches changed yet. So as things stand, they’re still lying on my dresser. I still wear them but they’re more like accessories now, since the batteries are already deader than dead.

So what’s an energy-saving alternative that will look hip, colorful, and futuristic on your wrist? It’s designer David Blanc’s Elusive watch that’s still quite elusive nowadays, considering that it’s not actually being manufactured yet.

Here’s another possible reason why the watch was named like so: the watch’s face is also elusive. That’s because it doesn’t have a face – just a hole where a face is supposed to be. This is where the battery-saving stuff comes in.

Instead of displaying the time on a LED or LCD 24/7 or having two hands running across it at any given moment, you have to insert your finger into the face to have it displayed: one finger for the time, and two for the date. After it’s triggered, the time would be projected onto your skin using a tiny, harmless laser beam. Pretty neat concept, eh?

One reason why handheld video game consoles were (and are) so popular is because they’re extremely portable. Most of them can be folded up or kept in cases and then stowed away in a purse or backpack, ready to be taken out for another round of gaming when the opportunity arises.

But if you happen to have really fat fingers and are a pretty huge person overall, then you might appreciate having a larger of the gaming console. Pictured above is the wall-mounted gaming portable(?), although its case , which looks and plays just one of those old Game & Watch handheld video games.

I mean, if we’ve got giant iPhones (although limited in functionality) and giant bathing ladies, then why not a giant Game & Watch?

The giant Nintendo Game & Watch was made by Tobie Nortje for the reception area of 21tanks. It was built using a computer monitor embedded in the oversize case, while the buttons are connected to an Arduino control board. Signals are sent back and forth from the controls to a PC, allowing users to play games from the classic platform, in this case, powered by PicaPic.
