This is a cool accessory to have with your PC. It is called the USB beverage chiller introduced by Cool IT Systems. I am one of those people who always needs a cold drink beside him, and recently its been Red Bull. So it would be cool to have one of these:) With the stuff they are coming up with, they better start assembling systems with a dozen USB ports.

Did you figure out what it is????

I dont know what they call it but it is a vibrator for men to give them sexual pleasure!! LOL Women have their vibrators and now men have this!! This is a new chinese invention seen in their market recently. This product will become a very hot product very quickly. Seriously those chinese think of everything!! But this.... LOL... I cracked up when I first saw it. Didnt know what it was until I saw the second pic. All you teasing woman out there................. be afraid be very very afraid :P You cant control us anymore, we got a third hand now!!!!!! :D

While at Souk Sharq yesterday I noticed this new device at display outside Starbucks at Souk Sharq. It didn't have any advertisements posted but from the pics you can figure out how it works. Basically, pictures are placed on the transparent area on top which rotates at varying speeds. It has slots for four pictures and I guess with the speed it could look like a short film. I called Fady from Impact BBDO when I saw this and as usual, he had me picture it since he is always on the look-out for new advertising innovations.

You can see this in the Radisson SAS Hotel in Kuwait in the main lobby. I read about it last Thursday when I visited the hotel and was very interesting to know more about it and how it works. Will update this post tomorrow about what it is called, how it was made, and how it works.

One of my favorite blogs that I visit on a daily basis belongs to Rampurple. She has recently updated the template of her blog and has introduced a new and very funky and interesting idea. Other than her changing the template design and color, the most important change was the header. Check out her blog and her latest post on the blog update.

I was at Al Koot Mall in Fahaheel a few days ago and came across this place. Its been there for a while and I was checking out what they do. What they do is engrave a picture into a glass crystal using laser; it takes 20-30 minutes depending on the size of the crytal. Its a funky idea and a lot of people were actually standing in line to get one done.

Yesterday I posted "Vocab Skill Test" asking if anyone knew what does Procrealligence mean. I got several answers but were wrong. Until Izzi actually browsed the net looking for the word and finally found it. Read the comments on post. Procrealligence actually is an abbreviation for:

Pro: Pro-activity
Crea: Creativity
Lligence: Intelligence

Also at Souk Sharq, I always enjoy passing by where Starbucks is to look at this clock. I think it is one of the funkiest things I have seen. I'm sure everyone has seen it and know what I'm talking about. I always sit there and stare at it trying to figure out the mechanism by which it works. I have figured out most of it:)

Does anyone know what the word Procrealligence means? For you advertising people, I'm sure you know it, so dont ruin it; I'm curious as to what people will reply:)

Hint 1: Has to do with advertising.
Hint 2: The picture is a hint.

I think they are overdoing it with all these dating sites. Right now, the most popular are hi5, cupidbay, and mate1. Well, they could help but the problem is that nobody is taking them seriously. I mean they out up pics of their shoes or car or something and want to have as many virtual friends as possible but not talk to any. I admit when I first came to Kuwait, I knew nobody and wanted to meet people so resorted to hi5 to try and meet people. I used it for several months but it was useless. Hi5 was full of freaks and weirdos, and when I tried to talk to normal people, they would think I am a freak or weirdo :P Still, it is a fun experience. Point is there is now an arabic hi5 and no its not "Hat Khamsa" (as Iad sarcastically commented)! hehe. Check it out here.

Finally, the latest Airbus contribution to the skies is the A380. It is the most spacious and efficient airliner ever conceived. It is the first true double-decker passenger airliner seating 555 passengers. Its introduction has witnessed some delays but now it is up and flying the skies. Here are some pics of what the plane looks like from the inside. Personally, I can't wait till I am on one of those! {More}

Ok I admit this is a very creative idea..... But who the hell would wanna eat in a restaurant like this. I mean you look around you and you see toilets everywhere!!! I dont know about you but I sure as hell would loose my appetite:) Check out the last one...... what the hell does that look like to you she is eating?!?!? Another bunch of pics courtesy of madame:)

These tires are airless and are scheduled to be out on the market very soon.
The bad news for law enforcement is that spike strips will not work on these tires:)

Just think of the impact on existing technology:
(1) no more air valves
(2) no more air compressors at gas stations

(3) no more repair kits

These are actual pictures taken in the South Carolina plant of Michelin. It will be awhile before they are available to the automotive industry.
