There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t lose my mind stuck behind some guy doing 50 mph in the fast lane. What I would give for one of these train horn sets from Hornblasters just so I could let these self centered Massholes know that they aren’t the only commuters on the face of the earth.

With a complete high-efficiency and extremely loud (152 db) train horn kit there is no doubt you will get everyone’s attention. Now…I’m not saying you should be driving around in traffic sending people into cardiac arrest but, with one of these sets you will definitely have the ability to make that happen.

Check out the people running for cover in this soon to be classic web vid after the jump.

If you are a fan of having crunchy cereal morning instead of soggy mush than the Eat Me Crunch bowl is for you. This is one of those why didn’t I think of that, fake rock hide-a-key, inventions that you just have to love.

This hi-tech bowl was developed to have a unique shelf design that keeps your cereal dry so you’ll never have soggy cereal again. The shelf covers 70% of the base, holding the cereal above the milk all while giving you a little section where the milk and cereal can mix together. The shelf also has a ledge that stops cereal getting underneath all while allowing the milk to flow freely.

This is the perfect gift for any cereal addict, check out EatMeCrunchy for more details.

It’s been a couple of years since my beer pong playing college days but I have not yet forgotten. If you have never had the pleasure, it is an experience and one that can become maddening if people are too dumb or drunk to play by the rules.

What are the two biggest problems with beer pong? Bad racks and spillage! There is nothing worse than someone who lacks the ability to tightly re-rack and pattern a set of cups. Except maybe a couple of sissies who fail to put enough alcohol in their cups to keep them glued to the table, causing cups to topple and precious booze to be wasted.

Check out the beer pong rack from The Founding Collegians and you’ll never again have to worry about opponents so drunk from a night full of beatings that they can’t figure out how to construct a basic geometric shape or girls wasting your entire roll of paper towels just to clean up their fallen soldiers.

Sure I’m the millionth person to blog about the much anticipated iPhone-like iPod but that is not going to stop me from being on the 1,000th page of google when you search for the new “iPod Touch.”

There has been quite a buzz about what would be next from Apple as of late and today Steve and the gang did not disappoint. As suspected the new addition to the popular line of iPods has been given the same touch screen capability of the now $299 iPhone.

In addition to the multi-touch interface on its new 3.5 inch color display the Touch also boasts Wi-Fi capability. With it’s built in Safari browser you can now surf the web wirelessly using the touchscreen keyboard all while zooming in and out with the multi-touch display.

This hi-tech ball of hate brings a fresh spin on the old classic hot potato. Just like in the original your goal is to not get stuck with the ball but this time around there are real consequences.

As you may have already figured out from the name, the “shock ball” emits a random shock and light show in an effort to make someone drop the ball. Either you have nerves of steal and pass the ball along or risk losing and looking like a wimp. I mean I am sure it hurts but it’s not going to kill you…or will it?

The warning that accompanies the shock ball reads “The product emits an electric shock. Keep out of reach of children. Not suitable for those under the age of 14. This is a novelty item, not a toy. May interfere with electrical devices such as pacemakers.”

Have you ever wanted the freedom to connect computers to the net from anywhere in your home without the use of complicated and sometimes lagging wireless technology? If so then the Homeplug AV Ethernet Bridge from Intellinet is for you. This magical piece of technological gadgetry allows you to network computers through your home’s existing AC power line with the latest power line technology and enhanced security.

I was lucky enough to get my hands on one of these Intellinet home kits and I must say that it really does an outstanding job. I happen to have an older house that I would rather not be ripping apart to run my own cat5 lines and I just can’t stand the unreliability and slower speed of regular wireless connecting so the Homeplug is a perfect solution. The best part of this product was that it is so easy to use and set up that I can say with confidence that absolutely anyone could do it

The Ethernet Bridge Kit came with everything I needed including two bridges, plugs, and Ethernet cables to connect to my router and any other workstation of my choice. I had my network up and running within 5 minutes of un-boxing with its exceptional plug and play capabilities and the performance was better than I expected. My testing station was a full 3 rooms and 50 feet away from my router and I had no noticeable loss in speed from a standard Ethernet connection and 4X better speeds than my wireless connection. At 17 Mbps down and 3 Mbps up I could not detect the slightest difference in my connection speeds.

I can’t stress enough just how pleased I was with this device and how amazed I was that it ran so perfectly in a big old house with lots of big old wiring. If you want to extend the range of your network without all the fancy wiring you can get your hands on one of these 200Mbps starter kits for just under $250 or if you don’t need that kind of speed, $129 for the 85 Mbps version and be confident that it is money well spent.

Nothing makes me crankier in the morning than a lukewarm cup of coffee, when I get to the office I want my coffee smoking hot and I want it to stay that way. With the new USB hot plate warmer from Apex you can keep that AM eye opener at the perfect temperature down to the last drop.

Not only will the hot plate reach temperatures of 140 degrees, but with a flip of the switch this USB gadget transforms into a cool plate that drops to a chilly 45 degrees. Whether you want your tasty beverage hot or cold the USB Drink Chiller & Warmer has you covered.

If you want to capture your favorite TV program right to your computer without any kind of fancy video card, usbfever has the answer. The EasyCap USB2.0 audio/video adapter captures high-quality video and audio directly through your USB port all while allowing you to record in your favorite DVD formats.

I was lucky enough to get my hands on one of these truly useful little gadgets and it did not disappoint. The EasyCap came with its own drivers and Ulead video capturing software that had me recording tonight’s Red Sox game in about 5 minutes. All I had to do was install the driver/software, plug in the EasyCap to my digital cable box, tweak a few recording options and to my delight I was recording in no time flat.

Nothing is better when something just works the way it is supposed to and the EasyCap is no exception. For those of you who don’t have a fancy video card with all kinds of inputs or like me have your computer in a place where you just can’t hook it up to your digital cable line the EasyCap, at only $39, is a great alternative to grabbing high quality audio and video for your desk or laptop.
