The family pet is usually more than just a dog or cat. Pets have become integral members of our family units. Maybe the next time they update the definition of the “nuclear family” they can add pets to the mix. We trust them, we love them, we take care of them.

Oh, yeah, and we spoil them.

Trend Hunter has brought to our attention yet another way that we can pamper our pets. I’m not talkin’ dog house castles or diamond collars. I’m not even talkin’ ’bout doggie daycare or luxury kennels.

This time we mean Sunspa, the at-home tanning bed for your beloved family pet. If your dog has seasonal depression or anxiety (or if he just gets cold sometimes), then this little innovation is just right for you.

The Sunspa consists of a comfortably padded bed that lies underneath a wooden arch. At the top of the arch is a special 150-watt light that generates a temperature of 80-85 degrees for your pet to bask in. The light lasts approximately 5000 hours, so your pet will have plenty of time to soak up the rays before any maintenance is needed.

Margaret O’Callaghan had a need for a new type of kitchen utensil.  The round-bottomed ladle and the spatula are just not good enough when you’re dealing with things like crock pots and serving dishes.  That’s why she invented the scrudle, a combination ladle and spatula designed to scrape the deliciousness from any sort of cooking […]

Every day, Tom Baker deals with the issue of traffic.  Given Southern California’s massive concentration of cars, it’s no wonder that Baker would get frustrated dealing with the daily traffic routine.  That inspiration resulted in these great images of Los Angeles without the cars.   Here’s the full image gallery, and it’s awesome.
I love the […]

Have you ever wondered where salt comes from?  I mean, salt is in everything from fertilizers (potassium chloride) to the dinner table (sodium chloride), but where does it actually come from?  Why, salt mines, of course!  They’re not just for horrible industrial accidents or mad scientist lairs anymore.  English Russia has a great look inside […]

For some reason, the kids these days love the Twilight saga.  Believe me, it pains me to call it the Twilight saga, because to me a saga is a great, sweeping work of masterful literature, not a teenage vampire romance novel.  Either way, the latest movie based on the Twilight books, New Moon (officially The […]

People worry about all kinds of crises as the world ends, but as the movie Zombieland taught us, sometimes it’s our snack foods that are most important to our happiness.  For Tallahassee, it was his beloved Hostess Twinkies.  If your favorite food is the humble Eggo waffle from General Mills, then you’d best head to […]

I love goofy little websites like this.  From the Wal-Martians to quality engineering, I love a nice, odd corner of the Internet to investigate.  If it’s something that can result in some comedy thanks to random word generation, even better.   That’s why when Mysterio offered to predict my holiday gifts, I jumped at the […]

Linguist d’Armond Speers is an odd bird.  How else could you explain someone that taught his son Klingon as his first language? For the first three years of his son’s life, Speers spoke to his son only in the fictional alien language Klingon from the Star Trek universe.  His reasoning?  It was an experiment to […]
