This is your brain on ice

Brain shaped ice cube trays. Isn’t that all you need to know? Nine bucks will net you this silicon mold that makes four ice cubes (though I guess “ice spheres” would be more apt) shaped like tiny little brains. ThinkGeek, who sells this awesome little doodad, suggests using them as novelty items at a zombie-themed Halloween party, or as an inside joke for all the nerds you work with at the science lab.

You should know by now that I have no shame.) Read more »

It is pretty obvious by now that my night was full of fun that involved some amount of alcohol, isn’t it? Don’t worry – we all drank moderately and were responsible adults. At the end of the night, I had tons of fun. That night made me go look for cool drinking gadgets, though, and here is another cool find: the shot carver. I found the shot carver at Cool Stuff Express, and while it does not really involve electronics of any kind, I think that it would at least serve as a conversation piece when you entertain at home.

The Gota Dishwasher

Alright ‘ya geeks, I think there’s no escaping dishwashing chores from here on eh? Not when the world has for ‘ya something to keep you interested washing your own dishes at least! This is the Gota dishwasher designed by Ibsen Caldas and is made from ABS polycarbonate. It has the single geek in mind. Washing dishes will thus become very easy as all you need to do, like standard dishwashers around is to put dirty dishes in, plug the Gota and see it work through the see-through plastic top.
