It’s a Hoodie, It’s a Pillow–No, It’s the HoodiePillow!

By Hazel Chua | May 21, 2013 @ 11:00 am

You fall asleep in your hoodie so much, it's almost like a pillow for you. So why not make it official by replacing your boring old pillowcases with the HoodiePillow? It instantly transforms your pillow into a hoodie. Put in on so you can sleep in peace with a hoodie over your head and a pillow underneath for maximum comfort.

Or you could just flip it over and use it like you would a regular pillow, if you don't feel like getting under the hood(ie) tonight. The choice is yours.

Aspekt Modular Camera Lets You Shoot With Mixed Parts

By Hazel Chua | May 21, 2013 @ 7:00 am

The debate as to which camera model is the best DSLR of all time still rages on to this day. You have to consider though that while a certain manufacturer might produce the body that you find most suitable for your needs, the lenses that you might want to use could be made by another brand.

Normally, you wouldn't be able to use both together because they just weren't made like that. This has been a problem many photographers have had to deal with--but if the Aspekt SLR camera system somehow gains steam and is released commercially, then it could be the solution to all these woes.

Go Wild: Take Pictures on the Sly with the Phone Periscope

By Hazel Chua | May 20, 2013 @ 11:00 am

The placement of most phone cameras make it near impossible to take images on the sly because you'd have to point your phone right at your subject to do so. Nothing'll earn you a slap or the ire of that decidedly hot girl faster than if she saw you trying to take a picture of her melons. You know, the fruit...

Anyway, there's a way around it and you don't have to get a new phone or a new camera. Instead, all you'll need is the Periscope Lens that you can attach easily to your device, be it an iPhone or some other Android smartphone.

Porky Bacon Press: Every Dude Needs One

By Hazel Chua | May 20, 2013 @ 7:00 am

Some like it curly, while others like it straight. I'm not talking about pubes (if you think I was, then you obviously need to get laid because it's doing weird things to your brain); rather, I'm talking about everyone's favorite meat: bacon.

It'll get that distinct wave if you let it cook the normal way. But if you prefer your bacon flat so you can, I don't know, slurp one strip after the other, then you can flatten them into place while you cook 'em with the Bacon Press. It's forged from cast iron and solely exists to make your bacon flat rather than curly.

iFlask Lets You iBooze Up On the Sly

By Hazel Chua | May 18, 2013 @ 7:00 am

If you need your regular fix throughout the day but don't want to risk getting caught by your boss or significant other or anyone else, then you need a flask that offers discretion alongside functionality like the iFlask.

I mean, there's nothing more inconspicuous than a flask that looks like an iPhone. Everyone needs his phone, and every dude needs his "phone." Get it?

CRAPCHA: Impossible CAPTCHA Tests To Piss People Off

By Hazel Chua | May 17, 2013 @ 11:00 am

I had a friend who willingly gave up a prize he won in a raffle because he couldn't get the CRAPCHA--er, CAPTCHA--right. He typed every new sequence that was displayed but still, the error message persisted. He must've made two dozen attempts before he eventually gave up. Come to think of it, it might've been a scam... But anyway, the point is, CAPTCHAs are pretty annoying.

Just give me a simple mathematical equation to solve any day, but just spare me from the CAPTCHAs, please, because they give me a serious headache.

Every Dude Needs One: Maybe You Touched Your Gen’tals Hand Sanitizer

By Hazel Chua | May 17, 2013 @ 7:00 am

We live in a dirty world filled with dirty people and even dirtier stuff in both the literal and figurative sense. There's not much you can do about the latter, although you can equip yourself with something for the former, should the need arise: a good hand sanitizer.

Hand sanitizers are as easy to buy as a pack of cigs but without the age limit. You can go for generic (aka boring) or you can go for something more indicative of your personality, like the 'Maybe You Touched Your Genitals' hand sanitizer.
