Triceracopter

The New Look of Combined Tricerosaurus and Helicopter

Have you ever seen a tricerosaurus and a helicopter combined in one? It's not a character of transformers but a true art that an animal and a helicopter combines in to one look, it's called Triceracopter.

This prehistoric, post-Vietnam political war statement was sculpted in clay over a Vietnam-era U.S. Army-spec OH-6 Cayuse helicopter, then covered with fiberglass by renowned and controversial artist, Patricia Renick. Behold the mighty Triceracopter. Or as we dub thee -- TriceROFLcopter.

Created in 1977 for her solo exhibition at the Cincinnati Contemporary Arts Center and fully titled, 'Triceracopter: Hope for the Obsolescence of War," it has recently been put up for public consumption either by a 'qualified museum, institution or individual.' We can see the perfect location in our house for the mighty Triceracopter now -- just have to ask the misses if it's okay first. Lets see if they will continue to create more in the future.

Jabra BT3030

Bluetooth headsets are necessary, but no matter how cool they try to make them look, not everyone wants to wear an earpiece for fear of looking like a dork or a cyborg. Jabra is doing something different with its BT3030 Bluetooth Device. Shaped like a dog tag, the BT3030, can be worn around the neck or clipped onto a bag or jacket for easy access.

It connects to two Bluetooth devices, so you can pair it with a phone and a laptop at the same time, and listen to music without worring about missing any calls. The tag has a microphone that picks up your voice, and features several control buttons to answer calls, play, pause, rewind or fast forward the music. I guess what I liked the most about this device is you can use your own headphones with it. The whole setup comes with a removable chain, clip, headphones, and power supply. The cool street stylin’ dog tag is available for $79 on Jabra’s website.

Hot Cold Mug

Temperature changing mug might not be useful, but is still cool. Some people tend to burn their hands (or tongues) on hot coffee or hot chocolate, which is never fun. Other times you’ll leave a cup sitting around for longer than you realize, then take a swig of a disgustingly-cold drink. That’s never fun. This simple mug makes it blindingly obvious on how warm your drink is.

This mug is coated with a heat sensitive glaze which changes color according to the temperature of the beverage contained within. I know its not a necessity to let your mug tell you how warm or hot your drink is but it looks cool and it might save you from taking a sip of nasty coffee now and then. The asking price for one of these mugs is $25.

The Real Batmobile

Just when you thought the Batmobile will forever be the most coveted “car”, Uncle Karl teases us with the Chanel Fiore “fashion art of vehicle” concept.

Designed by South Korean Jinyoung Jo, it gives Batman a tough chic competition.

The Outlet Wall

Instead of hiding your outlets behind furniture and worrying about the mess of wires tangled behind your entertainment center, consider making an entire wall that’s nothing but outlets. Then you can artfully plug in your appliances wherever the cords look pleasing to you.



Imagine no more crowded outlets or multi-plug adapters.

Of course you don’t have to actually wire all the outlets on the whole wall for electricity, but you’d better come up with a good way to remember which ones are live.

Anti-Paparazzi Clutch Bag

Celebrity Defeats Paparazzi

Beating up your paparazzi stalkers is so last century. The modern celeb might instead turn to non-contact (and non-litigious) means of protection, simultaneously spoiling the paparazzos’ pictures and destroying their parasitic, leech-like livelihood.

Adam Harvey’s Anti-Paparazzi Clutch Bag is extraordinarily simple. It is a slave flash, an extra-bright LED light with a light detector. When it sees the flashgun pop on the photographer’s camera, it fires a burst of its own, right back in the moron’s face and lens, flaring out the picture and in theory erasing the defender’s face.

This is the exact same tech as is found in older strobes (and many newer ones if you know just where to look in the settings). Only instead of triggering multi-light setups wirelessly it just annoys the paparazzi. And instead of using flashbulbs in high-tech boxes, it uses an LED in a handbag. Harvey has applied for a patent (which seems a little cheeky given the ease of making your own) and, we guess, hopes to sell them to the rich, famous and conceited.
