Wishing I Was Still At Comic-Con

by danni 7/27/2009 7:31:00 AM

Well, everyone, Comic-Con was a blast! I got my geek on!

I also searched around for some interesting inventions. But let me tell you there were a lot, here are just a few that I thought were really interesting:

  

The Star Wars toaster! Not only does this baby make warm toasty bread with an image of the handsome Darth Vader on it, but it uses the FORCE to make it! I kid...I think. You can preorder yours today (I know you want to!) at StarWarsShop.com for 54.99. It will be available on September 15th.

 

At the MGM booth, people were screaming for excitement! Well, more like fear. These fake electric chairs offer a virtual experience in previewing clips of the new Fox and MGM horror movies. Some people screamed during the two-minute video, I like to think I screamed with dignity. 



So this is pretty interesting, especially to watch! The kid in the black shirt is moving a ball up and down a tube with his mind! Yea, I couldn't believe it so I had to goggle/bing it! The invention was developed by Uncle Milton Toy Industries and uses the same technology of an EEG. The head piece measures brainwave patterns based on the number of neurons being fired, and then moves the ball accordingly. The more concentrated you are, the farther the ball moves up. "The force is with you" is how I like to think about it.

I hope this post has inspired you to start thinking about new invention ideas. Next year's Comic-Con is going to come around quickly, so hurry and design an invention for me to gush over! Your product could be featured here. Geeks unite!

Love Danni

Hey Danni,
I'm sad your not still at Comic-Con. "Cause when you've sad, I'm sad.
But I'd sure like one those ball thingies! What a great way to train your mind to think the way you want it to. My mind pays no attention to my direction.

Keep up the good work!!
