We all have those moments when the sudden urge to munch is greater than getting up and getting the darn food. No need to suffer any more, with the voice activated popcorn shooter, you can shoot food into your mouth at a moment’s notice. You don’t have to miss your favorite touchdown or get up from that 24 hour gaming marathon with your friends, just say the word “pop” to shoot out the popcorn and snatch the food out of the air. I wish I had one right now so I don’t have to take my fingers off this keyboard. Or if someone came up with a margarita model – then life would be complete.

You can consider this to be a bit of a belated fall fashion awareness, but really, “Tis now the season for a Cape!” As a guy, I wear a wool coat, but I noticed women wearing some of the most fashionable capes and it’s not because it’s Halloween, it’s because winter is now kicking up, and the cold candle lit holidays are just around the corner.
If you are rained in and it’s too cold to go Trick or Treating tonight, then how about a Resident Evil-style undead shoot-out board game? This board game came out a couple of years ago by Twilight Creations – Zombies!!!

You only live once and you should probably eat this at least once. It looks delicious with the egg benedict, bacon, and hamburger. It includes a poached egg (chicken!) plus bacon (the other white meat), and a dollop of hollandaise sauce that slides right down. To be honest, my cholesterol level just shot up just looking at it.

Fujifilm has just launched the XF1 – their line of sexy stylish point-and-shoot digital cameras. It has all the basic bells and whistles of any typical point and shoot digital camera, so you are basically paying for the fake leather … I mean the faux leather.
What do you get when you blend two companies who are masters at their craft? You get the new Paul Smith for Leica X2 Camera. The simple beauty and functional design of Leica was never compromised when Paul Smith added his magic touch to design this camera. Leica’s look and features are unmistakably present and anyone knowing Paul Smith’s colorful designs will be able to recognize and appreciate this wonderful collaboration. This is slightly out of my price range (USD $3,025 + State taxes and delivery), but if you are a camera enthusiast, you are probably drooling right about now.
Dude, if my dad built me this Power Loader from the Alien’s film, I would be a rock star at school! Ellen Ripley would love this. Totally cool.

Artist Yulia Brodskaya brings together all the things she likes most – paper, typography, and hand-made craft objects, then created some amazing paper-art pieces. The vibrant color is what initially struck me but there is so much more. It’s as if she is able to give her creations life from the paper she uses.
DC Comics fans may feel left out with all the recent Marvel Japanese-style art by Alex Mitchell, but don’t fret. Here’s Chambara Justice League:

Here’s 2 interpretation of the Marvel’s X-Men Nippon-style. Which is better?
This is the Marvel and Madhouse collaboration which featured 12 episodes. It was a hit and miss, but I’d actually had a fun time watching this series and hey, it’s Madhouse that did this!
Or check this Alex Mitchell version – the Jidaigeki X-Men:

Please comment and let me know which is cooler!
Alex Mitchell did his homework when he created these drawings of Avengers as Japanese warriors and gods. It would be great to see Alex taking these “Japanese Avengers” and make it into some kind of full-length anime film. How about a Seven Samurai-like adventure? Now that would be epic.

My wife is always on the look out for a new purse and I’m always on the look out for a new man-purse, I mean, messenger bag. Recently found this awesome bag by Jack Spade. Living in San Francisco, you pretty much need a sweater or some kind of outerwear in the morning, but in the afternoon, you always end up carrying it in your hands. It can be a big hassle. With this, you can leave the house without lugging a huge bag, giving you that slim look. Once the weather turns out nicer, just unzip the side and a bigger bag appears, ready to carry your jacket or sweater.
MSRP: $225.00USD

From the Dark Knight Rises film, this is the Gotham Rogues Hines Ward action figure from McFarlane Toys. The figure has a great color scheme and looks sharp.
MSRP: $12.99USD

We all know that BMW knows cars. Just test drive a car from the BMW M Series and you will be convinced that this company knows what they are doing because it is one sweet ride. But BMW designing a computer mouse? From what we can see, The Level 10 M Gaming Mouse seems to borrow features from their car engineering brethren – a focus on functional elements, creative design, and innovative aesthetics.
Strangely, this Behind The Scenes Painted Human Motorcycles reminds me of the 1980s Saturday morning cartoon Turbo Teen on ABC!
The Momentum is the latest from Sennheiser and this is definitely one of their higher end headphones. From the first look, it does remind me of the interior of a luxury car – from the tough, breathable, sweat resistant leather headband, to their soft, leather earcups for wearing comfort, this headphone is elegantly designed.
MSRP: Est. $350.00USD
