There are probably more iPod docks in the world than there are iPods. So the fact that there is another dock on the market isn’t surprising. Yet this one looks rather nice. The Xi jukebox was created specifically for housing the iPod in a full scale 1950’s inspired jukebox.

The jukebox contains the traditional numbered buttons, some nice speakers(Mk7 Twin channel amplifier, 150w per channel, 2 x tweeter 2 x mid range and 1 x 12 twin cone bass speaker), an LCD display screen for viewing the videos on your iPod and a remote control.

Each jukebox is hand built to order and also features LED lights throughout that can be changed depending on your preferences.

The price? Close to $11,000.

When I moved this last time, I was happy to discover that there is a doughnut shop about a block away. What’s superior, is that it’s open 12 hours a day, 6 days a week. This means that almost any time I want a chocolate covered yeast ring, I can get one. If you aren’t quite as fortunate as I when it comes to doughnut shops, then why not just make your own treats? Normally, I wouldn’t suggest trying to fry up your own doughnuts, however, this Dough-Nu-Matic changes things a bit.

This awesome device can form, fry and drain mini doughnuts in just under 60 seconds. Sure, they aren’t full-sized or anything, but you can make as many as you want! Throw on some frosting and sprinkles and you’re good to go. The $130 price is a bit steep, but just think of all of the gas money you’ll save. Not to mention you’ll be the most popular guy in the office come break time.

You know those times when you just want to get down and dance but don’t have access to an abandoned factory like Kevin Bacon did? Well now you can let the iBoogie do the dancing for you. It’s basically a small speaker that connects to your MP3 player of choice via the headphone jack, but that’s not all. The iBoogie also includes an array of LEDs that light up in the shape of a stick figure who dances along with the music you’re playing.

The footloose stick figure apparently has over 50 choreographed dance moves, and if you don’t have an MP3 player, the iBoogie also includes the song Canned Heat built-in. It’s powered by 3 AA batteries and even includes the appropriate audio cable.

You can order one from the HSN website, and I assume the actual channel, for $19.95.

While Romain Jerome isn’t exactly the first company that springs to mind when you think of luxury watches, they’ve made a name for themselves with their Titanic DNA watch that includes salvaged materials from the infamous luxury liner. Apparently the watches sold quite well, and they seemed to have inspired Romain Jerome to stick with the ‘gimmick’ approach when it comes to their designs. How else would you explain the Day & Night watch which doesn’t have any hands on the face, and is only able to tell you if it’s… well… day or night. And it’s not like the company is trying to keep the fact that the watch can’t tell time a secret.

World First – An exceptional timepiece that does not indicate the time!

With no display for the hours, minutes or seconds the Day&Night offers a new way of measuring time, splitting the universe of time into two fundamentally opposing sections: day versus night.

A new interpretation of Time based around two Tourbillons operating sequentially. The Day Tourbillon operates during the day, defining the wearer’s period of activity, and stops after twelve hours, handing over to the Night Tourbillon dedicated to man’s own private sphere.

It kind of reminds me of P.T. Barnum’s ‘Fiji Mermaid’. A genuine fake! Anyways, apparently the Day & Night watch was an extremely limited edition of just 9 pieces that instantly sold out, although they each had a price tag of $300,000. Sigh.

Everyone loves a mashup, right? Check this out.

It’s no news that major labels are distributing their music videos on YouTube. It was a long time coming, but they finally saw the potential in distributing their stuff on one of the most popular platforms on the planet. Yay! It’s all good except for one thing: what if you’re one of those people who’s constantly asking himself “Hey, what are the children listening to these days?”. You laugh, but I’m telling you, there’s a whole demographic who’d love to know what’s hot on the charts, watch the videos, but just does not have the time to look it up.

That’s where a site like Playcharts.com (careful, autoplay on) comes in. They’re not doing anything revolutionary, unless you consider organizing information the stuff of the Gods. They take five popular charts (Pop, Rock, R&B, Dance and New) and post the YouTube clips in order. Simple as pie, but useful as hell.

Now, I bet you there’s a thousand sites like this one, and I’d love to see them in the comments. But for yours truly, it’s a first. And yeah, the autoplay is annoying as anything, but right now it’s just a minor annoyance.

If one of your childhood dreams was to own your very own Pac-Man arcade cabinet, then you’ll be happy to hear that Namco has re-released one of their most popular cabinets. This full-sized arcade unit stays true to the original design, with only a few changes, one of which is a new 25th anniversary logo on the side.

The cabinet stands 58-inches tall, and weighs close to a ton. (So it’s actually only 237lbs, but have you ever tried to move one of those things? Not fun.) As a bonus, you’ll not only get the original Pac-Man, but also Speedy Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man and Rapid Fire Galaga. Unfortunately this piece of gaming history is going to set you back $3000. Personally, I’d rather find an original one in decent shape, rather than purchasing one of these brand new.

Curious about RFID? Overprotective of your beer? Have 30 minutes of free time? The latest episode of Systm (starring David Calkins, who knows a thing or five about robots) shows you how to make your very own RFID locking system. It costs around $100, which is a heck of a lot of replacement PBR, but you don’t have to just use it on your beer fridge. The setup that you learn how to build is modular, and can be attached to pretty much anything… your front door, your cookie jar, your cat, whatever. Check it out:
