Two crazy watches to be afraid of.

For the truely punk rock we have the Sputnik Atomic Watch. The watch looks totally hard core and may be considered a lethal weapon. The crazy watch sells for $25.99.

This watch here is also one to be afraid of, but not for the same reasons as the punk rock watch above. Seems wearing this watch attracts a lot of attention.

Japanese Watch designer PIMP created this untra hi tech watch called the Jive Turkey.

The Pimp Turkey Jive has 60 led’s inside the watch that give you a psychedelic light show on your wrist and

” The infinity effect is nothing less than awesome. In the bar I visited last night I had 3 different girls come over to ask me about the watch and the bartender even gave me a free beer when I let him try the watch for a while. Now that’s what I call Pimpin!”

The Pimp Turkey Jive can be found at Tokyo Flash for $135.51.

E-tee

crazy electric t shirtE-T as in electronic T-shirt. Another addition to my useless gadgets list is the maybe.. cool, e T-shirt. This black cotton T comes with its own battery pack and a neon light display for your chest. The led display t-shirt comes from a Chinese manufacturer and is called the TQ Raver.The Raver is supposed to “enhance” your clubbing experience by making you the envy of every club-goer in town by having your own graphic equalizer display right across your body.

The TQ Raver is now improved with streamlined design and advanced technology to enhance your clubbing experience even further. The technology has been visibly refined with an even lighter thinner display, brighter colours and more responsive graphic equaliser. 



The TQ Raver literally turns you into a human graphic equaliser, as its wide spectrum controller processes the music around you. Each musical frequency detected activates a different coloured equaliser bar, just like the equalisers on home stereos and the latest digital recording equipment. The built-in controller can be intuitively adjusted to respond to chilled out low level sound or the heaviest loudest metal and house that you can stand. 


Yes, your clothing can also move with the music on the dance floor. The downside may be having to dance with a battery pack strapped to your chest, but hey, I hear it unplugs for easy washing.

The t-shirt is hand wash only 
100% cottonThe battery pack can be unplugged for easy washing.

E-Cigarette – Are you kidding me?

e-cigaretteNo, not a joke. The pros:

  • No real smoke
  • Tastes like the real thing, or so they claim
  • Can get in cherry and fruit flavors
  • Should not kill you over timeNever needs a light
  • Cheaper over time than the real thing, one pack will last decades, in a landfill.
  • Can be used on airplanes and even in the citys where smoking is banned.
  • Easy to pretend to be a “real” smoker because the led light makes it look like its burning.
  • Get high on nicotine 

The Cons.

  • You may get caught faking
  • Get high on nicotine
  • Can’t use the “do you have a light” excuse to talk to someone at a bar
  • No chain smoking, may have to wait for the e cigarette to re-charge. 
  • Made in China, may need to invest in lead testing equipment.
  • May get arrested for smoking on airplane by cops who think your full-o-shit.

Here is the description of the e smoke from wiki..

An electronic cigarette (or “e-cigarette”) is an alternative to smoked tobacco products, such as cigarettes, cigars, or pipes. It is a battery-powered device that provides inhaled doses of nicotine by delivering a vaporized propylene glycol/nicotinesolution. In addition to nicotine delivery, this vapor also provides a flavor and physical sensation similar to that of inhaled tobacco smoke, while no tobacco, smoke, or combustion is actually involved in its operation.   

 

Being a new and maybe nutty idea, it is not yet readily available and actually banned in a few countries, however, I did manage to find it on made-in-china: here is the product desc.

We can provide many flavors of the cartridge: Tobacco, marlboro, 555, orange, strawberry, coffee, mint, lemon, melon, Pineapple, ginseng, rose, grap, Almond, banana, chocolate, Kiwi, peach, hiltoin, apple and so on.    

 

E smoke and the handy USB charger.
