Sorry but contrary to the above picture this post is not going to have anything to do with tramp stamps, or parks where you find people with them. Instead its about a new trampoline parks opening called the House Of Air . Opening September 15, 2010 this indoor facility will offer workout, training, and family fitness classes. They also offer rentals for birthday parties and corporate/large group events. Indoor tramp parks are often used by gymnasts and extreme sports athletes during the off season, to perfect routines and choreography. Above are some rendered pictures of what The House Of Air will look like. Below I have some video clips demonstrating some trampoline action from other tramp parks. Via - The Awesomer

Back in the 80's I rode BMX, and just loved ramp riding. I'm not saying I was any good, just enjoyed it. I still have a few BMX's laying around the garage, and occasionally I'll take them out and do some dirt jumping or hit the local skate park. So when I saw this article on 'The Awesomer'  I felt kinda bad that I had missed out on the whole scooter craze. So looks like I'm going to have to live vicariously through these videos.

Cadbury has come out with a new product called Tumbles. I haven't been able to find anything out about these except they have a cool rube goldberg commercial, and that they're round. After checking out this video check out my other post about Rube Goldberg Machines . Via - Ads of the World

Over the years I've seen so many rube goldberg videos on the internet, I figured I should have a post that shows all the best. A rube goldberg machine is a deliberately over-engineered machine that performs simple tasks in a very complex fashion, usually involving a chain reaction. Named after Reuben Lucious Goldberg, an american cartoonist and inventor famous for his cartoons illustrating complex devices that do simple tasks. Let me know which you think is the best, also if you know of any I may have missed let me know. Well here are the fruits of my labour for all to enjoy!

Ok so when I saw these I thought it was a joke, no offense intended, I just thought it was concept design or a one off. But I was wrong and they are real, they're call 'Car Lashes' and they're made by Turbo Styling Products Llc . The car lashes cost $24.99(US) + s/h for a pair and you can get crystal car eyeliner for an added $19.99(US) + s/h. They  have their own Facebook page with lots of customer submitted pictures.  Via Geekologie

Are you like Turtle and have tons of caps? Have you tried packing your caps in luggage for a trip? Well you know it doesn't work well and you probably end up creasing the rim. Yeah I've had it happen, and it sucks. Well New Era  has a solution and it's called Cap Carrier and it comes in 2,6, and 24 cap capacity.  I know I reference Entourage a lot, mostly Turtle, but hey I like the show.  Via Uncrate

The LightCap200 is a water bottle cap, with 4 built in white LED lights, a NiMH battery, and solar charger. This product transforms any standard water bottles (2" wide mouth) into a portable lantern. Now the LightCap300 has all the features as the LightCap200 but it has an extra red LED (night light), the cap is 50% larger, and it comes with its own 1L bottle. Both products are made by Sollight  and the retail for $24.95(US) + s/h and $29.95(US) + s/h respectively. This would be great for cycling, hiking, camping or whenever you might get caught out in the dark. Place matches, bandages, cell phone, inside to keep them dry from them elements when going to the beach or boating and still have a flashlight for emergencies.  Via CoolThings.com

Well if you answered yes to any of the above questions, I got one more question, how do you keep track of your bookmarks?

Or maybe you'r at work and want to show your co-worker a cool site you saw at home, like www.mass-imo.com, and wish there was some way to access your home computers bookmarks.

iPhoDroid is a piece of software that installs onto an iPhone, and allows it to run the Android operating system. Another interesting thing about iPhoDroid is that it keeps the iPhone operating system completely intact, safe and operational. Since I don't have an iPhone (hint hint mr. Jobs), I can't try this out, so someone let me know if they get around to trying this out. I have a video below showing the process, so head on over to iPhoDroid  and give it a try.

Here is a cellular phone that RUN-DMC could wear around their necks, and it would make even Flavor Flav jealous. Not too sure if this is a real product or not, most of the information about this is in Chinese. From what I've been able to gather this phone is a joint effort by Addidas and Shanzhai. Availability, Price, Features all unknown, so if anyone can get me more information that would be great. Here are some more pictures. Via TheUberReview

CREAM is 15% alcohol, by volume (30 proof), infused whipped cream product available in various flavours.

Currently there are no retailers in Canada, however it is available online ($40 US minimum order) but I doubt it would cross customs. Each 347ml can retails for $9.99(US) and you can get recipes from their website . Via Cool Huntng
