Gadgets: Gigs 2 Go


We have another Kickstarter project that needs your help. Gigs 2 Go is a pack of disposable USB drives that make sharing music, files, or anything you can think of easier with your friends, coworkers, or clients. It's actually a pretty neat idea. Instead of leaving your friend with your 64 GB thumb drive, you can give them one of these so you don't have to worry about them losing it. If you want to see more and possibly even fund this project, click here

Gadgets: T8X Spider

This little dude is like the holy grail of remote controlled toys. Sure, it may cost $650 dollars for it and its controller, but it is so incredibly realistic in terms of movement. This is probably the most advanced piece of in the remote controlled toys category, simply because Chinese geniuses really put they're mind to it and came out with a motherboard that uses incredibly complex algorithms that allow it for its fluid, biological movement. In fact, its so cool that Adam Savage approves of it. Here's him playing with it and here's their website. 

Gadgets: Biopen


Have you ever broken a bone? If you have, I think we can agree that being stuck in a cast for six weeks is terrible, but what if there was a way out of that healing process? Modern technology is advancing so incredibly fast, it honestly renders me speechless. Researchers at the University of Wollongong, Australia, have created a pen that can heal broken bones much, much faster. All they do is apply the two separate kinds of "ink"that the pen contains. One cartridge of stem cells, and the other of a biodegradable UV-reactant protective gel that, when applied, hardens around the stem cells to allow it to heal undisturbed. This most likely means they'll have to cut you open, but no big deal! Because this stuff works on flesh too. Want more? Click here

Gadgets: Bitlock

I have another gadget for you and it's geared towards the city people. Traffic stinks in the town so riding your bike may seem preferable than driving. Problem is, most bike locks are clanky, hard to lock and unlock; you get my point. Now, what if you could get a lock that would unlock automatically for you when you get within a certain distance from it? What if it's smooth and easy to work with? There are so many unique features implemented into this thing that's it's crazy, like GPS tracking, that they could even produce such a product. Check it out here at their website.

Gadgets: Atlas the Robot

How would you feel about a six foot tall, 330 pound robot saving your life during a natural disaster? Let's say that a tsunami nails your town. Buildings are collapsed, homes full of water, unaccessible neighborhoods, you name it. Luckily, this robot, Atlas, is designed to save people during this kind of event. He can save you from rubble, drive utility vehicles, any action you would need during an event like this. This dude is like the new, jacked-up version of the Jaws of Life. Click here for more.

Gadgets: Amazon Prime Air


Now, you can't just go out and buy this thing like you can with most the other gadgets I've talked about here, but this still deserves some attention. How would you like to order something from Amazon and have it at your house in about a half hour? Yeah. Thirty minutes. So... how would they do it? Drones baby! A little drone will pick up your package from the warehouse and fly it to your house. Pretty cool, right? Click here for more.

Gadgets: Super Bra


This one's for all you ladies out there. What we have here is exactly what it sounds like! No, they didn't make a bra that's as comfortable as Nike's Dri-Fit gym shorts (and my Lord those things are holy. Seriously, if you don't own a pair, go out and get one or ten; you'll thank me later) but they did completely geek-ify it. They implanted a chip and a sensor that records and guesses your emotions with 75% accuracy by picking up EKG activity (electronic pulses) near your heart. Are you stressed? The bra knows. You joy eating? The bra knows. Now you may be wondering... what's the practical purpose of this? Actually, I have no idea. Since it sends it's readings to a smartphone, maybe us men can use it to make you gals more predictable and easier to understand! *Wink* Here's the link!

Gadgets: Leap Motion

Leap Motion. Something I thought I would only see in the future. Something you would see being used in the Enterprise or Tony Stark's house, not something you could get for $80 and plug into your Dell. Leap Motion sets out an invisible foot by foot by foot cube in the air that, incredibly accurately, scans your hand's every movement. You can interact with things on your computer screen by swiping thought the air, you can make a finger-gun and play first-person shooters, you can sculpt digital clay pots. This thing is so accurate that you can sign your name with your finger and it will look exactly how you wrote it. Exactly. Every inch and cranny my man, it's insane, and all for 80 bucks? When I was at Best Buy a few days ago I about picked one up! Here's their website, check it out

Gadgets: Foldio


If you sell stuff on Ebay, this is for you. Foldio is an origami-type pop-up thing that gives you a really nice background for the things you're taking pictures of.  Once you put your item in the box and take your picture, it'll look like it's floating in mid air! So, this product isn't out yet but if you'd like to see it a reality, then back it on Kickstarter here!

Gadgets: The Kano Computer



This Kickstarter project is going places. I don't know if you've tried to learn programming by teaching yourself, but it is BEYOND difficult... well it was until someone had this idea. It's basically a tiny computer you get to build! You know what's better? The computer you build is full of games that'll teach you programming. The lessons are sorta like Luminosity, you learn without knowing it! Just take a look at it, and fund it if you'd like! Click here

I'll admit it. I love taking notes on paper. I'd much rather right them out than use my fat thumbs to try and poke letters on my phone's touchscreen in a feeble attempt to type something down, only to lose the document into the depths of its memory card. Thank the Lord there's a solution for it!

Are you a travel junkie? Then you may consider getting this panoramic awesomeness. This ball will help you get the shot of a lifetime, and all it needs is a few seconds of hang-time. Here's where you can read more.

Gadgets: Your Own Robot Butler

  


How cool would it be to build a robot? To have your own personal remote controlled tank that could run over soda cans and stuff? Well, Makeblok made that a reality. All you need is a little software and electronic know-how and you can make whatever your nerdy heart desires with the completely customizable aluminum pieces you can put together like Legos to form your robot's body. Here's where you can get them.

Gadgets: Remote Controlled Paper Plane

powerup 3 paper airplane engine

How disappointed  were you when you threw a paper airplane, hoping to see it soar like an eagle but to really watch it painfully fly straight into the ground? Yeah, it sucks; it's all happened to us, but there's a really cool solution that Gajitz has come up with that will turn your airplane from a stinky ground-magnet into a remote controlled super-plane that can fly like a fighter jet. Here's where you can get one.

Gadgets: A Keyboard That's Better Than Yours



This seems to be something you would only see in Tony Stark's house, but since technology is growing like a fungus in an incubating room, it's now a reality.
