If so, then here’s a gadget just for you. It’s a very techy video watch that plays all your favorite videos and maybe even tells time. The telling time part I am not clear on since the manufacturer left that part out of the description.

The crazy watch below has a 1.5 inch video screen, 8 Gigs of memory and supports multiple video and image formats including support for e-books. Good luck reading that e-book on a 1.5 inch screen though.

Seems manufacturers are trying to stick an lcd screen onto just about everything these days, so why not a video wrist watch? The picture may be a bit too small to see clearly and forget about trying to decipher the titles on any music videos. The idea is that it looks ultra hi tech and you will look either very cool or very geeky wearing it.

Here is another model of the video watch…

This hi techpower watch is made in China, go figure, by Chinavision. China is great for hi tech useless gizmos.

Yes, you can. Or at lest you can in Japan where I believe this home is. This house is called Baria’s Soccer Ball Home. The house is consoccer housestructed like a soccer ball would be out of 32 panels that make up a room or living space.Problem is, if you want more than a 1 room house, the thing will stop looking like a soccer ball and maybe resemble a hamster trail because each 32 panel ball is only 1 room and a full home with multiple rooms needs to be constructed of multiple balls put together.

Normally soccer balls are made of PVC, leather and other soft materials. In this case, the soccer ball is made of 32 panels of steel reinforced, glass fiber fabric. I also hear that the steel reinforced, glass fiber fabric is available in all sorts of colors, just in case the standard black and white wasn’t cool enough.  Popular Soccer
