Image Fulgurator – Add Your Image To People’s Photos

The “Image Fulgurator” by Berlin-based artist Julius von Bismarck. It is a device that physically manipulates photographs by embedding messages onto the object being photographed. The device senses if a camera’s flash goes off and synchronizes a projection on the object being photographed at the same time. You can see the video that the tourists taking photos end up having weird text messages in their photos. Cool project!

A Cast-off Public Toilet from Seattle for $89,000

Posted in Unique at 7:04 am by Luxor

toilet

IIt was a pretty good idea of worth 5 million U.S. dollars from the city cash, from Seattle, still, the auto-cleaning public toilets were kicked out.

And currently you are able to buy them on eBay.

Neighbours and analysts for the city say the public facilities appealed drug users and prostitutes, and were less than cost-effective since they were installed in 2004. City council voted on May 19th to ditch the johns.

Five of them have gone up for auction at a starting bid of $89,000 each.

But they may be worth it. The graffiti and impact-resistant stalls have automated doors, faucets, dryers and soap dispensers, and have an emergency 9-1-1 button.

Word is, before the plug was pulled, they were well-used.

Hacked! USB Drive

hacked

Are you one of those people that likes to freak others out for no obvious reason? If you are looking for a new flash disk drive to match up with your “creativity” of freaking out others, you mush check out this crazy looking Hacked! drive.

This little 2GB flash disk drive appears as though you’ve ripped the end off of a USB cable and stuck it into your computer. Pretty funny huh? :) You could then just tell everyone that you decided to go wireless, which would make them shake their head and quickly walk away. Thought of something to do? No word on pricing or availability though :p.

If you are a party beast who does not need any reason to party, then the All American Tailgater is the just correct thing you would ever need to make you popular in the party circles. Once you get to where you need to be, you could be entertaining within minutes with the All American Tailgater. All you need to do is to set up the Tailgater where you want, get your grill out, open the bar, turn the TV with optional satellite on and you are all ready to party! All American Tailgater trailers come with a full bar area which include a keg refrigerator, food refrigerator/freezer, microwave oven, sink, storage space for food and booze, surround sound stereo system, 5 disc DVD/CD player, and TV.

They also customize the exterior with any logo or graphics package to suit your liking.

The tailgating trailers come fitted with a 32-inch flatscreen TV for exterior bar and a 17-incher for the interior. The pricing for the 8′ x 16′ Tailgater Trailer and the 8′ x 24′ Toy Hauler trailer sits at $32,000 and $45,000 respectively. Well, if u ask me, I would go with the All Star Tailgating trailer that features a huge 60″ LCD screen.
