Museum of Food Anomalies
Juniper Foo | Aug 04, 2005
If Smallville has its Wall of Weird, our guy Mike Hanttula here has his Website of Warped. And we love it! An exhibition of freaky food submitted by contributors, this parade of spooky Honeycomb cereals, Quasimodo lemons and disturbing carrot feet is a scream. Did we mention the Circus of Disemboweled Plush Toys? More eerie edibles to chew on here.

Fujitsu's hi-tech trolley
Juniper Foo | Aug 03, 2005
Let's hope the next time you do your grocery shopping, your Internet fridge doesn't have a wireless conversation with your shopping cart about your weight, and instructs it to beep loudly every time you reach for a Ben & Jerry's. That little scenario may come true faster than you think, given that Fujitsu's U-Scan Shopper is about to trial in Australian supermarkets. For now, thankfully, the high-tech pushcart, empowered by a wireless mounted touch-screen computer, simply adds up items as these are loaded, alerts you to specials in each aisle, and keeps tabs on what you bought on your last trip to the grocery.

Keyboard Organizer
Juniper Foo | Aug 02, 2005
We'll not name names here, but we know of one writer who hides his snacks in an empty CPU casing, exactly where his technophobic mum wouldn't think to check. The Keyboard Organizer should certainly be an ideal add-on since it sports a storage utility comprising 14 compartments right under its keys. A great place to hide stuff, and a fine use of an everyday computer paraphernalia.

Casamurai
Juniper Foo | Aug 01, 2005
Only the Japanese would think of the little details. Like the Kataburera Handsfree Umbrella and UFO Cap which leave you blissfully handsfree, the Casamurai is especially great for those clunky golf umbrellas. You can don the nifty holder samurai-style on your belt loop, or hang it from a backpack, leaving your hands free and easy to do what you like. Sweet!

Nissin Space Ram astro noodles
Juniper Foo | Jul 29, 2005
Oishi neh? Not content with conquering the world's stomachs with their sushi and ramen, the Japanese have now looked to outer space. And proving the sky's the limit, Nissin Food founder Momofuku Ando has developed instant noodle that can be eaten while in orbit. Having that first slurp recently was Japanese astronaut Soichi Noguchi onboard the American shuttle Discovery, digging into a special zero-gravity, ball-shaped version of Space Ram. Apparently, the soup can be heated with water at just 70 degrees Celsius, which means pretty lukewarm noodles. The mix is thick enough not to spill and comes in four familiar flavors: Soy sauce, miso, curry and pork broth. Unfortunately for the earthbound, there are no plans to ship these astro ramen down to terra firma.
