I love my digital photo frame but this concept called Mint Frame takes the cake. Like other digital frames it displays your photos but also takes pictures with a built-in 2 MP autofocus camera. The adoption of digital frames has been slow and why? – partly because older people find it cumbersome. By turning the frame into a camera, you get instant gratification without the need of a computer or syncing with an online gallery service.

The 7 in. touchscreen also displays videos (no mention of what formats) and you can even record narration to photos. I really like the little retractable magnetic stand. Wish my frame had that. My only gripe is the low camera resolution. It’s perfectly suitable for viewing but terrible for print. I guess I’m over complicating what it’s meant for but can’t we bump up the megapixel count to at least 3?

With the EcoBlast Rechargable Air Horn not only do you have an economical way to scare the crap out of your roommates at the crack of dawn, but it’s environmentally friendly too! Like the Super Soaker, the EcoBlast uses a plastic tank that can be refilled, with air in this case, from a bike pump or air compressor using a standard valve.

The volume on the air horn is adjustable too, with it maxing out at around 115 dB, and on a single ‘charge’ you can expect to get over 70 blasts. So if you’ve always wanted to be ‘that guy’ at the baseball stadium you can order one from Things You Never Knew Existed for $29.98.
