Frolicat Bolt Takes The Effort Out Of Playing With Your Cat

frolicat_bolt

By Chris Scott Barr

I have a cat, and like most other felines she loves laser pointers. I generally spend a little bit each day using it to drive her crazy. It really doesn’t take much effort, and it entertains me almost as much as it does her. However, if you don’t feel like putting all of the effort into waving you wrist around, you can get a device to do it for you.

The Frolicat Bolt is a laser pointer that moves around on its own. You can set it on a table (or any other surface really) and have it move the laser in a random pattern for 15 minutes, after which time it will automatically turn off. You can also put it on manual mode and use it like an ordinary pointer. If you’re too busy to keep up with your cat, you can pick one of these up for just $20.

Transit Stop Ad Snows When Ski Conditions Are Ideal

Tryvann Winter Park Ad (Images courtesy Toxel)
By Andrew Liszewski

Tryvann Vinterpark is a state-of-the-art ski resort located just 15 minutes outside of Oslo Norway, and oddly enough, even though there might not be a single snowflake falling in Oslo, the ski conditions can be perfect at the park. So to let those living in the city center know when it’s the ideal time to grab their skis, ad agency TBWA created this transit stop ad with a built-in simulated blizzard. And instead of leaving it running all the time, the fake blizzard can be turned on and off by someone working at the resort with a simple text message to indicate when it’s actually snowing. (There’s a short video of it in action after the jump.)

Temperature-Sensitive Glass Tiles Make For A Psychedelic Shower

temperature-sensitive-glass-tiles

By Luke Anderson

My shower is one of those places in my house that I don’t generally care to upgrade or make look any nicer than it already is. It’s one of those tub/shower plastic insert things that you tend to see a lot of these days. I keep it clean and it looks decent, so why would I bother to spend a lot of money on someplace that I only see for about 15 minutes a day? I’ve honestly not seen anything to change my opinion of the matter, that is until I came across these Temperature-Sensitive Glass Tiles.

These awesome glass tiles will change color depending on their current temperature. You just tell the manufacturer what base temperature you want, and every 6-10 degree increment from there activates a different color phase. There are three phases in all, and once you’ve passed the third, it will return to the original color. I wouldn’t recommend installing these in a house with more than one or two people in it. You can bet that the first person in the shower is going to use up all the hot water just messing with the colors on the tiles. Of course you’ll need to rob a bank first, since a single 4” x 4” tile will run you $33, or around $300 per square foot.

Control Street Lights With Your Cell Phone

dial4lightBy Evan Ackerman

Okay, first of all, this is legit, not a hack. And secondly, it only works in Germany. In a few villages. I know, it’s a shame, and I got your hopes up for nothing. The German system, called Dial4Light, is designed to save energy by only turning streetlights on when somebody actually needs them. If you’re out and about at night, all you have to do is dial a number, enter a code for your street, and the lights will come on for 15 minutes. The system is completely free, and cut electricity bills by an impressive 25%.

Interestingly, a BBC video report on the Dial4Light shows that there is apparently a billing system already in place, it’s just not in use. In some ways, billing people individually for turning on streetlights makes sense: if everyone else is sleeping, why should they be footing the bill for your 2am street hockey games?

What I’d like to see would be streetlights that operate on the same basic principle, except using Bluetooth instead of a phone call. All you’d have to do is carry your cell phone with you, and whenever a streetlight detected a Bluetooth signal, it would turn on. That way, you’d have light where you wanted it, when you wanted it, without any waste of electricity or excess light pollution.

Asteroids wristwatch one-ups the Pong-playing original


John Maushammer enjoyed his 15 minutes in the limelight from the creation of the Pong wristwatch, but as any true superstar will tell you, a quarter of an hour just isn’t enough. The DIY Asteroids Watch is a real step above the aforementioned predecessor, with an inbuilt tilt sensor so the wearer can control the action by simply tilting their wrist. We’d gush about it more, but that’d just be doing ya wrong — instead, we’ll point you to the live action vid waiting just past the break.
