Audio Bone Headphones

The Audio Bone Headphones deliver superb sound through your bones, directly to your inner ear.

This lets me listen to music at home at night while working on the computer but still be able to hear the kids if they happen to wake up.

Giant Blue Bear Sculpture: Peek-A-Boo

That’s "I See What You Mean," a 40-foot tall blue bear peering into the window of the Colorado Convention Center. The steel and fiberglass sculpture is created by Lawrence Argent:

The artist has described I See What You Mean as a stylized representation of native fauna. As the bear peeks inside the enormous facility at the conventioneers, displacement and wonder pique curiosity and question a greater relationship of art, technology and whimsy.

The World Record For Talking Too Much

Frenchman Lluis Colet broke the world record for the longest speech after rambling nonstop for 124 hours about Spanish painter Salvador Dali, Catalan culture and other topics.

The 62-year-old Catalan and local government worker spoke for five straight days and four nights to set the record in the southern French town of Perpignan.

Three notaries were on hand to recognise the feat which allows Colet to enter it in the Guinness Book of Records.

The previous record was held by an Indian man who delivered a 120-hour speech.

Colet began speaking at Perpignan's railway station on Monday by reciting the works of famous authors or using some of his own writing. He also spoke profusely about Dali, a painter he admires, and Catalan culture.

Large crowds turned out in support of Colet, who received a rapturous applause at the end of his speech.

"This is a big day for me and I dedicate this record to all those who defend Catalan language and culture," he said, his voice fainter after five days of nonstop talking.

Colet had set the record once before in 2004 when he spoke for 48 straight hours.

Pencil iPhone Stand

Take what you have and build what you need -that’s what we in the South call Southern ingenuity, although I’m sure it’s called something else in other places. Roland at Geeky Gadgets built an easel out of five pencils and four rubber bands. Now he can comfortably watch videos instead of working!

Extraordinary Uses of Toothpaste and other Ordinary Things

WomansDay has a really nifty post about extraordinary uses of 16 ordinary household items. It’s just what you need to release your inner MacGyver!

Here are some of the surprising things you can do with … toothpaste:

1. Remove crayon marks
Squirt a small dab on non-gel toothpaste on the wall where the mark is. Rub gently with a soft cloth, then rinse with warm water. Voilà!

2. Deodorize hands
Can’t get garlic or onion odor off your hands? Wash them with a blob of toothpaste.

3. Whiten sneakers
Clean rubber soles by rubbing scuff marks with an old toothbrush and non-gel toothpaste.

4. Buff a DVD
Get rid of light scratches by squeezing a little non-gel toothpaste onto a cotton ball. Wipe over the DVD from the center out to the edge. Rinse with water and dry with a non-abrasive, lint-free cloth - all gone.

5. Defog goggles
Coat the inside of swimming goggles with toothpaste, then wipe off - they’ll be crystal clear.
