The Handiest Guppie Ever – Multitool

by Jay Garrett on February 25, 2010

Multi-tools are great things.

Even since the Swiss dished out penknives to their military there’s been something magical about combining many blades into a pocket tool that has kept boys (and some girls) aged 7-70 wanting to own one.

I have a soft-spot for the Swiss Army Knives and there’s no denying how good the Leatherman range is but check out the fishy fight, fix or forage tool – The Guppie.

Made by Columbia River Knife & Tools, the Guppie includes an adjustable wrench, screw driver with multiple magnetic heads, a decent looking knife, LED flashlight, and a bottle opener for a refreshing cold one plucked out of the stream.

Launce Barber and Tom Stokes who came up with the Guppie say that the design is made so everything is ready to use in the shorter time possible, right out of the pocket.

It’s also kind to that pocket as it only costs $40 from here.

3 in 1 Ghostbusting Paranormal Tracking Instrument

by Jay Garrett on November 17, 2009

Paranormal ResearchIf you’ve seen the film ‘Paranormal Activity’ you will have noticed that having a video camera isn’t the only thing you really need.

Any budding ghost-hunters will need an array of scientific instruments in order to prove and find the gad-about ghosts.

Thankfully, the folk over at Scientifics Online have just the very thing.

This spectre-finder has the 3 most useful tools wrapped up in one handy device.

You get an EMF Meter, Ambient Temperature Gauge and a……. errrrrrrr…….. flashlight.

“Designed exclusively for paranormal investigators, this incredible tool has everything you need to track and detect the presence of ghosts.”

The aptly spooky green-lit screen will help would-be ghostbusters decide whether or not they’re soon to be slimed.

The EMF burst mode detects EMF movement rapidly, and the record feature allows you to capture minimum and maximum values from your adventures and investigations.

You could always team this up with your Vampire hunting kit :)

For those on a budget this undead-uncovering unit is available with or without a built-in red nightvision flashlight – $149 or $129 respectively.

I wonder if it could detect the ghost in a bottle?

Uros Vitas is a clever chap.
Back in 2007 he managed to devise an easy chair that would roll-up so you can take it and use it at a picnic, festival or just when you want to have a nice sit down and has had a bit of a tweaking.
The bit that boggles my mind is that the Miesrolo Chair is [...]
