Do Mind Control with the Star Wars Force Trainer

By jrjuan on Sep 2, 2009 No Comments

star wars training kitThe force is the path to power. It flows all over our body and the only way to take hold of it is through training like a kung-fu student learning to be a master.

Master Yoda is in control electronically through this force training kit. It guides you to take hold of your force through 15 levels of intense brain wave challenging activities that is surely to make your brain go far far away. From Padawan (level 1) to Jedi Knight (level 15), you must concentrate in order to make the ball in the tube go up. The headset captures your brainwave activities namely alpha, beta, gamma and delta through the dry sensor and the headset will do the algorithm to measure your state of mind and focus. Depending on your state of mind and focus, the ball will rise up or down. It is up to your ability if you can make the ball reach the top. The ball movement comes from the air blowing from the bottom that moves accordingly to what the sensor in your head feeds it. This training set runs on 6xAA batteries and 3xAAA batteries for Padawans who want wireless training. For trainees who want to do some serious and long time training, an AC adapter can be used. Voices of Star Wars characters are also giving you words of encouragement to help you through your training.

Start training for $20 less than other shops are charging ($119.99) if you get this through the GeekieStore.

Amphibious R/C Tank

By jrjuan on Aug 12, 2009 No Comments

amphibious

Think of the good old days where remote controlled tanks that we used to play in our backyards have “laser gun” that fire from some cheap LED lights. If you thought that was cool then, how much more this one which shoot real BB gun pellets!

The amphibious tank is like torn between a boat and a tank. When in land, in can drive even through the most perilous terrain namely your backyard full of dried up leaves, sands, pebbles or even some mud. The 4 wheel drive tank  paired with big traction wheels can conquer it all. When in water, the tank can act like a boat and can speed with its twin propellers and watch it move rock solid cruising the troubled waters which is your pond and the tadpoles in it. Imagine playing in the dirt then shifting to water in another just like in real combat! But that wouldn’t all be it, just load up some BB pellets into the bullet hatch and you’re ready to destroy some enemies. Just control the tank with the remote control and fire at will! Some other cool things that the tank can do is to spin 360 degrees and the upper part of the amphibious can be loaded with 4 standard drink cans in case you’re tired of combat.

If you want a boat and a tank that fires real BB bullets, then get this Amphibious R/C Tank!

Help Your Kids Eat with this Eating Set

By jrjuan on Jul 2, 2009 1 Comments

constructionMaking a kid eat food might not be the easiest thing to do. Sometimes, kids just want to play with toys and almost not eat what is served in their plate. They also rather want to eat some Cheetos chips and chow down on it until they’re full. Parents and the like, here is something that might help you! The Construction Eating Set. The construction eating set is a set of cutlery that is designed for babies to help out parents or baby sitters to make their kid eat.

The concept is simple and has been tried and tested. Making a regular spoon be like a plane and “land” on the kids mouth. Maybe evolution has changed their attitude towards that making them not eat with that trick anymore. This construction eating set is colored bright yellow to attract your kid’s eyes like bugs on an insect zapper.

Each kit is composed of a spoon, fork and bulldozer. The spoon and fork are basically as what you use in your dining table perhaps but they are like encased in a construction site vehicle that also moves! The spoon and fork might be a little normal but the bulldozer cutlery is something new here. The bulldozer has movable wheels for scooping something on a plate as it moves. This allows the kid to like hit a mountain of viands and eat it to break it further.

It is indeed a fact that the addition of a toy on to the food utensils of the kids is common but these bright yellow and construction machinery designed set makes me want to be a child and eat again.

LeapFrog Text and Learn

By jrjuan on Jan 31, 2009 No Comments

leapfrog

During 2007, the OLPC (One Laptop Per Child) laptop could be the most techie gadget that a kid can have. It was designed to educate children through its innovative operating system by teaching them different things such as music, math etc. Now we have what seems to be a ‘smartphone”.

LeapFrog isn’t new in the interactive teaching tools for children industry. They already have a wide array of learning toys and educational devices to empower children – it is like training kids to be techie early on. The Text and Learn device has calendar, phonics, spelling, and computer skills to name a few. It also comes with Scout, the on screen guide for kids where they can text.

It really seems that this device is the BlackBerry for kids with its functions. But just to be clear, this LeapFrog Text and Learn device is not a real phone. It is still some compact version of modern educational toys.

Makes me think though that the design of this device is for  a marketing scheme so that parents have to buy holsters, screen protectors or silicone jackets whenever their children have tantrums. Whatever it is, nothing is for sure since the device itself isn’t out yet in the market.

Since that BlackBerry for tots is not out yet, you can get your little ones started on geekdom by getting some other educational toys available at Amazon
