if i were rich, i probably would have a dishwasher

WIWI: depending on how often you hand wash dishes, this might actually be worth it to get. if adjusted correctly, it could pay for itself by saving you on dish soap. then again, that's a lot of dish soap. plus i like the color red they use in this pic. pretty.


The Simplehuman Sensor Soap Pump dispenses soap touch-free to help avoid cross-contamination. Simply place your hand under the sensor to dispense soap automatically. An optional LED light timer blinks for 20 seconds to indicate how long to lather for germ-free hands. Four volume settings allow the pump to dispense preset amounts of soap or lotion. Use the continuous dispensing button to dispense soap directly on pots and pans for dishwashing.

i don't even like sweets

WIWI: homemade whipped cream is incredible, especially since you can adjust the sweetness of the cream. i wonder if you can add cocoa powder to make chocolate whipped cream. possibilities are endless


Add the ISI Stainless Steel Gourmet Non-Aerosol Whipper to your list of kitchen must-haves. Quickly and easily turn whipping cream into delicious dessert toppings with very little effort. It comes with several attachments, and a bottle brush type cleaner to help make clean up a snap. And because it's non-aerosol, it's good for the environment.

When the Finger won't do...give 'em the Digit



WIWI: I've found that as effective as hand gestures are at communicating with other drivers when you're on the road, they have their limitations. I can't count how many times my "thanks!" wave has been mistaken for the "I've been a bonehead" slap on the head. And, they don't work very well at night.

This LED emoticon from ThinkGeek.com may be the perfect solution. You can tell this thing to flash a happy face or a sad face to the driver behind you, as well as to say "Thanks," "Back Off," and "Idiot." If only you could hack it to customize the messages.

ThinkGeek does note that it may not be legal in all states (Sorry, Tennessee!!!). I suspect mine (Minnesota) is one in which this might be contraband.

it sucks!

WIWI: yes, i'm literally drooling over a vacuum, but i like my stuff clean. especially since my hair falls out at an insane rate (TMI?), the dust bunnies in my place are actually beginning to look like bunnies, and i essentially occupy a 17x12 foot space.

now you can rub your feet into furry carpet all you want

WIWI: i'm not sure why it would need to light up when static is detected since it should just be eliminating it anyway, but if i had it, i'd definitely carry it around everywhere and use it before i touched anything. i wonder what kind of battery it takes (or does it run of static electricity?) clearly i have no idea how this sort of thing works.
