My infatuation for all things Japan continues. A friend bought this Japanese Itazura Coin Bank ($22) a few weeks ago, claiming that it was the cutest thing he'd ever seen. Why anyone would spend over $20 on a coin bank was beyond me . . . until it finally arrived. I got a first look at the bank when he ripped it open yesterday morning and had to share. Not only does this mechanical coin bank Read more
Why so serious? Not all tech has to be the most helpful gadget ever invented — it can be funny, fun, or just plain weird. Sometimes, it can serve its purpose if it's just nice to look at. For some Friday fun, check out some of the gadgets I've found around the web that made me scratch my head and say "huh!?" Read more
Who will you be smooching this Valentine's Day? Make your decision based on a very scientific measurement with the Kiss-o-Meter ($30). Even though it sounds like it's judging your smooching prowess, it's actually a tiny bad breath detector. The lights tell you if you're good to go, or conversely, if the person you're about to lock lips with is. But the secret's out; if someone whips this out to Read more
Do you enjoy freaking out your friends? Do you have an affinity for conspiracy theories? Feed your paranoid antics with this Fake Security Camera ($12)! It's battery operated and has a motion detector sensor, so it'll follow folks around the room — of course, you could use it outside as a theft deterrent, but it's much more fun to see your buddies squirm, isn't it? I actually had a retail job Read more
Everyone knows I'm a big fan of bubble wrap (little Katie Sugar loves it too!). Whenever a package comes in, I pray for the bubbles instead of those lame peanuts that I can't do anything with (besides toss them up in the air and create my own personal snow globe). The Bubble Wrap Key Chain has quelled my need for popping somewhat, but I need more! More bubble wrap, I say! Enter the Bubble Wrap Read more
Full disclosure: A huge reason I love living in a city is to avoid bugs (with the exception of electronic ladybugs). I love nature and the environment and blah blah blah but I have ALWAYS hated bugs and I'm not going to change. So when I see an actual bug in my apartment, flying or crawling and adamantly where it is not supposed to be, I freak the hell out. I'm also ill-equipped — since there Read more
Testing- camera one, camera two, back to camera one. The person who made this 360 degree camera must have wanted eyes on the back of their head, or they had a few too many disposal cameras to play with. With seven connected cameras in total, this girl can take quite the panoramic shot. Not only is this a fashion no-no, how do you know if you are lining up the right shot from the right, or the Read more
We're thrilled to present this smart Wise Bread story here on Savvy! Recycling fabric is a powerful green living and cost saving strategy. Denim is one of the coolest fabrics to do it with. It's sturdy, gains character with age and can be acquired very inexpensively at yard sales or in your own "old clothes" closet. Some of the coolest ideas I've found?

Day three of WonderCon had me sitting down with the cast of Breaking In, the upcoming comedy from Fox premiering April 6 at 9:30 p.m. Airing after American Idol, the show is bound to do pretty well for itself, but I think it's the funny characters, hilarious situations, and total geek cred that will make the show a hit. Christian Slater (who needs no introduction), Odelle Annable (Cloverfield), Read more
We're all guilty of staying up late and getting sucked into infomercials, but if you've ever wondered about the personal lives of the people shilling the goods (let's just forget about the ShamWow guy), Father of Invention might appeal to you. Kevin Spacey stars as Robert Axle, an inventor and infomercial star until his latest gadget, the Ab Clicker, injures people rather than making their lives Read more
