Tapi Tap Squeeze Drink Fountain

I have often voiced my love for simple gadgets.  It's far more popular to have a gadget that just does it all, but every now and then it just gets tiring.  Sometimes you just want to use a simple device that always simply follows through on its chosen task.  There's no 20 page booklet or numerous online tutorials to tell you how to run it, it just works.  Tapi is another one of those simple devices. This doesn't filter your water or turn pretty colors depending on the temperature of the water.  No, it just allows for you to drink water comfortably out of the faucet.  Just about everyone has had that desperate moment where they resort to drinking out of the faucet rather than cleaning a glass.  Well instead of trying to fit your head under the faucet you just slip this rubber tap onto the faucet.  To get the fountain to work just squeeze the bottom and the water will shoot out of the top.  The Dreamfarm product is supposed to be shipping out in August of this year.  These don't appear to be available online, but you can punch your town into the store locator to find where these are sold.

Running barefoot is the new trend

These are some interesting shoes/socks that you might have seen before. They look a lot like aqua-socks, except they have room for the toes in their design. Apparently, "running without shoes can strengthen your feet, ankles, and lower legs and improve balance". Now we know why Frodo and Sam never wore any shoes. Apparently, they have been on celebrities like Matthew McConaughey, Channing Tatum, and Heisman Trophy winner Eddie George wears them for beach football. Also, the Vibram FiveFingers are so popular is having a difficult time keeping them in stock, and there are knock-off brands coming out of the woodwork. I suppose these are the shoes for those who really long for the experience of running barefoot. However, it isn't for people who are just starting to run or returning from a long layoff, and you need to ease in slowly. There are those who think these five-toed shoes aren't worth your time or money, and others that swear up and down by them. Right now, I would like to hear from our readers. If you have tried these five-toed shoes, and have either good or bad results, let us know. Also, can you answer me this question: can you stub your toe with these guys on? Have a nice day, UK

Mini Cupcake Factory

Cupcakes seem to be all the rage these days, as they offer a different kind of pastry appeal to the masses. Even weddings have evolved to shun the traditional wedding cake, relying on cupcakes instead to keep guests happy. Well, if you have a penchant for whipping up something delicious in the kitchen, how about giving the Mini Cupcake Factory a go? Retailing for just $19.99 a pop, they will definitely appeal to the geek since it is small and cute, featuring an extremely high crust-to-cake ratio thanks to its small nature. Featuring an outer layer of extra caramelized batter, it will soak up some of the oil during the baking process. The cupcakes themselves will cook in a mere 5 minutes, and if you throw in the time spent mixing and heating the cupcake pan, it takes a grand total of just 10 minutes. Each round of cooking will net you 7 cupcakes in total. Hungry already? Have a nice day, UK
