nifty: the instant dishwasher

This is the best legit invention I've seen all year.

I always give you fun, silly, random things that are absolutely amazing, but this is something that should definitely be in every one bedroom apartment in America.

It's the Instant Dishwasher by Bosch.

It super tiny, sits right on your counter by your sink, and washes a few dishes instantly. All ya do is lower a couple plates, a cup, and utensils into the little slot and let the magic take over.

It runs under your counter and basically looks like a bigger Wii console placed in your counter-top. As far as I can tell, there's not a whole lot of maintenance you'd need to do.

Seriously, how great would this be in a one bedroom apartment?! Even for two people! It would take care of any "Ughhh I'll do it later" statements. It's a piece of cake!

No idea how much it'll cost, but you can bet your bottom dollar it'll be worth every penny.

nifty: outox- your new lifesaver

If this isn't the most genius invention ever to hit this planet, I don't know what is.

It's called Outox, but that means nothing to you.

What it does: Un-drunks you. No really. It claims to decrease your level of hammered-drunk just by drinking one can! It also prevents hangovers!

Scientifically speaking: it does something along the lines of breaking down your blood cells or alcohol in them so that your BAC is lowered, you feel less drunk, and you can function better.

Ummmm... Can we say HELL YES?!

Sure it probably doesn't completely take away your intoxication, but at least you can try to prevent any "oh no what the H did I do last night"s before they happen!

I'm in love. I don't care if they were invented in France, I want to order a lifetime's supply right now.

Sugar Daddy, where you at?! I need you! Pronto!

watch: vag-eye-na on chatroulette

It's the biggest Internet craze right now, you know it. If you don't know it, you need to try it out. Now

People try out all sorts of crazy things on Chatroulette. This person somehow noticed that their eyeball looked like a woohoo and ran with it.



It's pretty dead on, right?! I love people's reactions. Gah.

I think it's time for a new term here, too: CR Genius. Ya know, Chatroulette genius?! This guy is the first.

watch/listen: united state of pop 2009

I heard this for the first time on New Year's Day and immediately texted Toby Knapp to tell him how obsessed I was with it. I had no idea it was A) a real song and B) something that's been done multiple times as a year-end music wrap-up.

The dude's name is DJ Earworm and his occupation: Genius.

Okay, maybe that's not true. He's probably just a really great DJ. Either way, he's my genius of the week, fo sho.

Take a listen to this mash-up/remix/whatever of songs and fall in love just like I did. Be amazed like I was. Listen over and over and over again like I am.



All of my year-end top 10 lists just got trumped. This is hands down the best thing to represent the year. [If you like pop music, of course.]

DJ Earworm, please marry me. But change your name first.... elizabethany earworm is a little odd.

love,
elizabethany

PS: Just for S's and giggles, here is 2008's:



And 2007's:



OBSESSED.

nifty: alcohol pills

This is legitimately the coolest idea I have heard in a long time.

Forget 10 tongued toys, random party must-haves, and package-boosting jeans... THIS... My friends... Is the future:

Alcohol pills.

Pretty soon you won't just be getting high or Robo-trips from pills... You'll be getting drunk.

Some genius Russian professor, AKA my hero, has found a way to turn any liquid into pill form, including liquids containing up to 96% alcohol.

They say the benefits are being able to keep track of your alcohol intake and of course saving yourself from the awful face you make post-shot. I'm wondering if it will also take away the validity of breathalyzers. [Not that it would necessarily be a safe thing, but it'd be kinda cool...]

No matter what it does, it's awesome. Imagine drinking any drink you want, including water, not gaining weight, poppin' a couple pills, and being the same schwastey-face that you're used to!

Ohh, I love how the future is looking.

love,
elizabethany

PS: Some other guy knows how to make home-made vodka pills.... And I shall try it this weekend. Who's with me?!

nifty: water drop shower

I don't care what I've ever said before, this thing I shall share with you now trumps anything that I've ever wanted. [Well... Maybe minus one thing.]

As soon as I become rich and famous one day, this is the first thing I shall buy for my house... The Waterdrop Shower.

Right now you're probably thinking it's not that cool; It just looks like a water drop.

False.

On the inside it features a 360 degree touch screen, the size of the shower.

What does that touch screen do? Controls the temperature and intensity of the water, music you may want to play, and oh yea... Videos and movies... In 3D.

Stop it. This can't be real. I'm living a dream and imagining this is something that exists, right?!

You can watch a movie, in the shower... Any movie. Can you just imagine the possibilities right now?!

Just in case I never become rich... Ummm... Do some of you want to pitch in on one and we'll all share?! I'm good at sharing sometimes...

Genius. So genius. I wish Santa was rich.

how to pay a parking ticket

I could wait and post this picture tomorrow morning, but it's way too good to let it get lost in a list of other things.

Ever get a parking ticket? Have you ever looked around to see if nearby cars did too?

Next time I think you should... I know I will! Look:


Can we say GENIUS?!?! SERIOUSLY!! Genius of the YEAR Award right here!

It's a shame it doesn't work on speeding tickets or running red light tickets... Then my life would be A-OK again.

watch: monkey steals drugs

Monkeys are geniuses. Period.

Someone may have trained this monkey to go in and steal from a store, or maybe he just knew it on his own. Either way, homemonkey [Can I say that's the equivalent of homeboy??] ran into the plant place and stole Salvia plants... Which oh by the way, is a newly legal drug.



I'm mad you can't see much, but I'll agree that it's definitely a Chimp or some kind of monkey.

Man oh man I want one of those things. ASAP.

nifty: the office turtle that does it all

This is fascinating to me.

This cute little turtle is super convenient, AND totally saving the planet... Kind of.

It's for your office and serves as a USB extender to give you 4 extra ports, an ashtray, and a stapless stapler.

Yeah, I said it. A stapler that doesn't need any staplers. I couldn't believe it either, nor did I understand.

Somehow the thing punches a small hole, creates a flap, and tucks it under, I think. It's pretty freakin' cool. No more stapling your fingers, poking your nail bed trying to undo them, or any of the staple-terribleness.

So basically, I don't really understand the 1950's aspect of an ashtray in your office, but this turtle is probably the coolest kid in the office neighborhood right now, and everyone is really jealous that he's taking the roll Buzz Lightyear did with toys.

He's even getting the award of Genius of the Month [because it's been way too long.]

Sugar Daddy.... Add this to the list, please and thanks. It's only $11!!

love,
elizabethany

nifty: mac and cool

Call me crazy, but I think this is great and it's about time something like this was out!

I'm a huge anti-super hot food. I like it a little warm, but not hot. Everything I cook on the stove normally has to sit a good 15 minutes before I'll even think about touching it.

I always tried to figure out a way to have a reverse microwave... Something that would make it cooler instantly.

Meh.. I don't think that will happen, but there IS something to help make it instantly cooler! The Mac and Cool!!

You fill it up with water, freeze it, and when you put your food in the bowl, it brings down the temperature immediately.

It's supposed to be for little kids, but A) I'm a little kid at heart and B) Who cares!??

Also- It totally fits in anyone's budget... Sugar daddy or not! It's only $5.99!!! Bangin', right?!

I'm going to need to get one of these pronto. I'm pumped.

elizabethany

watch: crazy post-it note wall video

Some people have too much time on their hands. I'm not sure how they do it, because I don't even have the time to finish unpacking my things that I brought home almost a month ago.

Anyways, homeboy did this video for a class project apparently. He made a video using stop motion with a TON of Post-It notes and it's actually really, really amazing.

I can't even imagine the work that went into this, but it's probably going to be a famous video so I'm sure it was worth it!



Seriously... The creativity is RIDICULOUS! Here's his description:

Where my idea comes from is that every time when I am busy, I feel that I am not fighting with my works, I am fighting with those post-it notes and deadline. I manipulating the post-it notes to do pixel-like stop motion and there are some interactions between real actor and post-its.

Dude, you're smart...#1. Maybe even the first in a while "Genius of the Week" Award. #2- This is great. Make more, please. Thanks!

elizabethany

best wedding thanks ever

Oh. Em. Gee.

So it's this guy's wedding day, he's at the reception, and it's time for the toast. He thanks everyone, especially the families, and then tells everyone that he has a present for them as a thanks. It's taped under all of the chairs.

Everyone reaches under the chairs and opens the envelope. What is it?

A picture of his new wife and best man having sex!! 8x10 and glossy for everyone.

Apparently he wondered about it a couple of weeks before the ceremony, and hired a private detective, who took the picture.

So as everyone is dumbfounded looking at the picture, he looks at his best man and says "F YOU!" Then to his wife: "F YOU!" To the crowd: "I'm outta here!" He went and had the marriage annulled first thing in the morning.

I mean seriously... How genius is this?! He could have called off the wedding, or went through with it all as if nothing was going on. But instead, her family dished out THOUSANDS of dollars for the wedding, and everyone got to SEE what happened.

Absolutely genius. I can only imagine what was going through everyone's minds.

"Elegant wedding reception For 300 family members and Friends: $32,000. Wedding photographs commemorating the Occasion: $3,000
Deluxe two-week Honeymoon accommodations In Maui : $8,500.
The look on everyone's face When they see the 8x10 glossy Of the bride humping the best Man: Priceless.
There are some things money Can't buy, for everything else there's MASTERCARD."

Wow.

listen: coldplay meets taylor swift

Some afternoon/drive home DC radio guy who loves to rub in my face that he's going to the Idol finale pointed this out to me... It's amazing. I never would have thought to combine two songs like "Love Story" and "Viva la Vida," but that's why there are smart people in the world.

These two guys played the songs on the piano and the cello, and created what I will call a masterpiece. It sounds BEAUTIFUL!



It almost leaves me speechless. So good. Genius of the week award? Probably.

nifty: beer for the smuts

3 things guys like: Beer, naked women, and sports.

1 thing that combines 2 of those: Beer created by Ramm ND.

When put together, the 2 cans become a woman in lingerie.

So, A) You get to look at sexy legs on your beer cans.
B) You have to buy/drink at least 2 of the cans to get the effect.
C) Your drunk goggles that are getting stronger help everything out
D) You can watch sports while drinking it if you want all 3.

The creators are absolutely genius. Should I take away the Genius of the Week Award from the light up bar? It's such a hard decision!

How about a tie?

elizabethany

the things people spend their time doing

Maybe I'm not one to talk because of the amount of time I put into this blog, but some people really spend a LOT of time doing something that is indeed amazing at the end, but you think "Holy S. How'd you come up with that kinda time?!"

For example... This has got to be the most amazing bar I have ever seen... And probably WILL ever see. [It even beats the one in St. Pete with a running moat throughout the whole bar that makes it possible to send messages in a bottle.]



Seeeeriously. This is crazy amazing. HOW DO PEOPLE DO IT?! I just don't know! What I do know is... Genius of the Week award-- given out.

It reminds me of my friend's beer pong table that I once said was the most amazing thing ever. It's still pretty sweet.

[To really check out the final sweetness.. Go to about 2:30]



All I know is they spent a lot of time and money on that thing and yes, it was probably very worth it.

I should have been an engineer. Then I could have made the best beer pong table/bar/beer bong/flip cup table/keg stand helper all in one. Dag nabbit.

nifty: hide your twitter at work

It's official. Twitter is about to take over the world.

That little networking site/tool/whatever you want to call it is EVERYWHERE. Phone, computer, every TV commercial/show.. And now, you can have it open at work and not have to worry about getting caught.

It's called Spreadtweet, and it's Twitter, in the form of a spreadsheet.


Seriously.. It's genius. I personally have no use for it, but I'm sure plenty of people do. Unless your boss has super crazy binoculars, I'd say you're pretty safe with this one! Happy tweeting!!

elizabethany

nifty: church in a bar

This is possibly one of the coolest things I have heard all week.

Instead of celebrating Easter in a church, go to a bar! With a pastor!

This guy is holding his first church service in a bar for Easter Sunday, and though it may sound terrible, disrespectful, whatever... I think it's an awesome idea.



He's so right! I would go to a service in a bar WAY before one in a church! I feel like I don't know what to do in a church. In a bar, I feel somewhat like a pro.

Genius of the week award? Yes please!

love,
elizabethany

prevent the walk of shame

OK SERIOUSLY, this week is SO GREAT for new products!!

This time, someone's lookin' out for everyone who has to do the walk of shame. [And let's be honest, everyone has done it at least once... And probably even more than that!]

It's the Walk of Shame Kit, for only 35$!!!

Here's what it includes:

• Dress/Morning after cover-all. It slips over everything, and even makes a great bikini cover-up!
• Flip Flops, one size fits most. Let's be honest... The heels are the worst part about the walk of shame, minus the jewelry.
• Backpack. You're going to need something to put all of your belongings in.
• Sunglasses. Hiding the red-eye and smudged make-up is absolutely necessary.
• Pre-pasted toothbrush. "4/5 dentists say you probably won't remember where your mouth has been."
• Wipes. Clean yourself up. Face, body, especially down there.
• Call/Don't Call notes. Well, what do you want him to do when he wakes up?
• Breast Cancer Awareness bracelet. Buying this kit means you're helping a good cause, too!

So, I think I'm going to have to take the Genius of the Week card away from the Tinge, and give it to this now. What a GENIUS idea!! And not even that much money, AND helping a good cause!

+93872423 points! I want it! Sugar Daddy, where are you?!

multitasking at its finest

It must be "show the world great products" week. I have something else, thanks to the AMAZING show The Doctors! [It was a sex themed "Ask the doctors" show! YES!]

This one is just for the ladies!

If you travel a lot, but don't want the awkwardness of carrying your personal massager around, it's okay! Now it can look like something else. AND act as something else!

Check out the Tinge Razor Massager. Part razor, part vibe... With 32 different modes!

It looks almost identical to the Intuition razor with little buttons on it, and is pretty in pink! It even comes with cartridges!

Oh and don't worry about buying batteries all the time! There's a CHARGING PORT!

So, waterproof, looks like a razor, and can actually shave your legs, personal massager. I liiiikee.

Whoever I gave genius of the week to before, just lost. This wins. For the month, maybe. I just wish it were cheaper than 100$!! Or, a sugar daddy would be nice as previously mentioned.

love,
elizabethany

PS: Funny: This girl thought it was a body massager and mentioned how it wasn't very powerful. She also tried it on her cat. Moron.

escape the desert

New invention/product alert!

The CHILLOW!!!

This could be the next sensation! If you search for the "other, cooler side" of the pillow because the side you're on is warm, this is what you need!

Apparently you activate it one time, and then it stays cool forever! And it doesn't make any noise, and it's totally comfortable!

I kinda like the sound of this..... Maybe it even adds a little more thickness, fluff, firmness, etc to your pillow!


If only I were rich. Or had a sugar daddy. Dang.

love,
elizabethany
