02.28.2006Ultrasonic Jewelry Cleaner
If you're the type to collect buckets of jewelry, keeping your collection clean would present a challenge. Imagine doing away with polishing cream and cloths? Though probably not for everyone (or even most people) this Deluxe Ultrasonic Jewelry Cleaner & Tarnish Remover cleans up in a flash. With little effort ultrasonic waves generate millions of microscopic bubbles to wash away hard to reach dirt. It even cleans metal watchbands and provides a means to suspend the watch-face above the cleaning solution. Posted by Katherine

02.28.2006Radiator "Heat Wave"
Droog Design is now manufacturing Joris Laarman's award winning, fantastically ornate Radiator Heat Wave. This piece of wall art radiates heat electrically using fiberglass enforced concrete and aluminum. A steam heat/water version is due out next year. I've lived in NYC apartments on and off for the last 15 years, all with clunky old radiators, so it's nice to see beautiful interpretations of conventional and familiar forms. via Inhabitat.

02.28.2006Light Reading
Sam Johnson's Light Reading adds light to your bookshelf without the look of light fixtures. The light sits camouflaged among your books and it only becomes visible once you turn it on. When it's off, its dark spine blends right in with your other books. Available at Thorsten Van Elten. Posted by

02.27.2006Handy Mandy Drill
Yeah, ok, I guess power drills "don't have to be big, green and ugly" as the tagline says, but I don't necessarily want to use a shiny lavendar power tool either. The problem with power tools painted in pastel, feminine colors is that it just starts looking like toys rather than real tools. It would be one thing if the Handy Mandy were a powerful drill, but based on some reviews I've read, this one doesn't even give off that much power beyond what's necessary for the most basic of tasks.

02.27.2006Bratz Liptunes MP3 Player
I'm sort of dreading the day my toddler asks for a Barbie or a Bratz Doll and I've been turning a blind eye to all the models and accessories at the toy store because I just CAN'T DEAL (and those dolls won't be allowed in my house, sorry), but I had to chuckle (and shudder) at this Liptunes MP3 player . For those of you who aren't familar with the dolls, they are these collagen-injected, cat-eyed, body-disportionate, fashion-loving (but skimpy to downright slutty) dolls that make Barbie look rather wholesome. For $80 this MP3 player isn't going to be very good and I've read reviews that back that up, but I guess I'm just wondering how I'll handle a situation if and when my kid will ask for something like this lipstick-shaped MP3 player. The Bratz franchise produces loads of electronic products, including digital cameras, portable DVD players, phones and TVs, and are targeted to the Tween market that seems to get younger and younger every year. Sure, it's just an electronic toy and you make decisions so that purchases are age-appropriate, but the Bratz line is marketed to girls as young as 5-6. I know times have changed, but I just think back to when I was that age and played with wooden figures with no arms and plastic helmut hair and was obsessed with my rollerskates. Makeup at that point just didn't interest me, so all this marketing of Britney Spears and JLo influences trickling down to the pre-K set just makes me...sad. Posted by

02.27.2006Bacon Strip Bandages
These are just bizarre. Imagine walking around with a slab of bacon on your knee. Now if they could incorporate some smell technology in there, you'd have every dog in the neighborhood following you around (or man...woman...child...hell, who doesn't love bacon?) From Sprout Home.

02.25.2006Earphone Charms
Are you just about surgically attached to your mp3 player, but crave girly, dangly earrings that get in the way of the earphones? Then you need these Earphone Charms from Japan. There are 8 sparkly designs to choose from, unfortunately none of which are the height of fashion, but no doubt anything heavier would just drag your earphones off your ears. Via Engadget Japanese.

02.24.2006Insolia shoe inserts
Here on Popgadget we've featured shoe inserts, Foot Petals and Apara, both of which claim to make your high heels just a little bit more comfortable. If they aren't enough to make those killer heels wearable, then what you need are Insolia inserts. Rather than just cushioning your feet, and/or preventing them from sliding forward, Insolia actually works by redistributing the weight on your feet so that pressure taken off the ball of the foot is shifted to the heel. This makes perfect sense to me; I've spent countless hours on the crowded train, trying to balance on the heels of my shoes in a futile attempt to relieve my aching feet. Even more impressively, there are four different sizes to choose from. Via Gizmodo. Posted by saresha
