A recent auction on eBay shows a Nokia E90 communicator which had a small accident with a 12 gauge shotgun. The phone fetched just $20.50 in the auction which ended 27 Dec (yesterday). The right side of the phone was blasted through and had both of it’s screens damaged as well as the keyboard and circuit boards. More pictures below.
TimeFlex is a unique concept idea which uses a “self-gumming” sticker like watch which can stick on to any surface such as your hand, arm or clothing. The idea behind it is that sometimes you need a watch on you but it’s not always a good time to do so, such as when swimming. This watch could literally be stuck to your wrist or swimwear and not create any drag.
It’s not a concept I expect to see happen too soon though.

The Ana-Digi watch is excellent as it sports an E-Ink display behind the regular analogue hands. This allows you to make changes to the style of watch face at the push of a button. With the display being E-Ink, it is very low powered allowing the watch to carry on functioning with out any major battery issues. I have to admit that it is a great looking watch and with the option of changing style from black to white, and adding numbers makes the watch more attractive. Prices are $250 for either of the 2 versions which feature a leather band or Polyurethane band.

If you are still awe struck by Dr Who’s Tardis and want to walk inside to find a HUGE room that lurks behind the door, then a bamboo Dr who tardis curtain could fix that magic for you. Put it on the entrance to any room and each time you walk in the door of the tardis you will see a nice big room behind it. Just note that you wont actually be in a tardis.
Each police box bamboo curtain is made of 90 lengths of wire strung with short pieces of bamboo. The pattern of the tardis is on both sides of the curtain.
Available now on EBay.
The Stonehenge watch is like no other watch I have come across before. It is a portable Stonehenge with the miniature rocks all aligned up correctly as you would find at the real Stonehenge.
Here is the cool part… it actually does tell the time. By using the built in compass you spin around till you are facing north. You then insert the gnomon (the stick in the middle) and put it in front of the altar. Looking at the shadows you can then tell the real time. Obviously it wont work too well when the sun is not out or when it’s dark.
Also, you can work out the correct seasons by working out which stone the first shadow of the day is cast upon. If it rises over the heel stone then it’s the first day of summer.
For those who are lazy you just look at the time on the front of the pocket watch as it also features a regular watch. Wouldn’t it be funny to whip it out next time someone asks you the time. 🙂
The Stonehenge watch will cost you $42.95 with shipping costing $12 for international.
