RjDJ

Alright, here it is, the iPhone app that finally convinced me to chuck my joyless Blackberry in favor of Mac’s endless bucket of fun. Apparently, RjDJ lets you sample your surroundings on the fly, then scratch and mix by moving the phone. Seriously, watch the video. How fun is that?

The Doggie Treadmill

There was a time when Hammacher Schlemmer was the land of dreams; a Sky-Mall catalog for days when feet are planted firmly on the ground, packed with such fantastic innovations as The Oreo Salad of the Month Club, Mop-Slippers, and Flowbees as far the eye could see. Perhaps HS is back. This canine treadmill, The Indoor Dog Restroom (a kind of kitty-litter without a lid), and The Folding Pet Staircase are all featured on the same page. How fun is that?

FUN VIDEO: The Nerf Vulcan Hack


It’s a comercial for some kind of new energy drink, I know, but it’s also a sick fun idea. You start with the Nerf Vulcan (Zoomdoggle Gift Idea 55), then up the power and automate the trigger. That’s so cool it hurts. And they’ve got the full how-to on their site. Wowsers.

72 Hour Emergency Survival Kit $99; LINK: 4survivaltogo.

It doesn’t matter what you get them, sooner or later, they’re going to shoot eye out. Might as well get them something for that too.

Drawdio


The website says “Imagine you could draw musical instruments on normal paper with any pencil (cheap circuit thumb-tacked on) and then play them with your finger.” I’m not sure what that means. Somehow it has to do with graphite being a resistor, and physical computing, and loads of other stuff I can’t really wrap my head around at this hour. Maybe it’s magic… or elves. Whatever the case, it made me smile and for just $19.50 you can make your own. It’s like Picture Pages come to life!

Gift Idea 68

Beer Wheel $9; LINK: Organize.

Everything you ever wanted to know about beer—and then some—organized in a handy wheel. BONUS: Wheels don’t fit in stockings. Yeah, we said it. It’s bigger than a stocking stuffer, but just as cheap.

Gift Idea 66

Glow Graffiti $59; LINK: Gnr8.

Glow graffiti cans are filled with glow-in-the-dark paint and come with a bright LED light near the nozzle that charges the paint. What better way to say ‘happy holidays’ than by encouraging loved-ones to vandalize the fun way?
