You come to Quirky Jessi because you have spare time, right?

Well here's a way to waste some more of that hard earned free time you have, hehe.

Bomo.com


I've mentioned a few "make your own art" type sites before, and this one is another version with a huge variety.

Don't worry, though; it's not complicated. Just start clicking with your mouse. Move it around a bit. Hold down the button while dragging the pointer around, or click repeatedly. Check out some of the buttons at the bottom....they'll change what's going on completely. Rinse and repeat, but come up with something completely different. Go have some fun!

Singing Gizmo gremlin plush toys

Remember my last "I want, I want, I want"? This "I want" is almost tempting enough for me to indulge on my own...now...without any real purpose or even place to put this.

It's Gizmo! So many memories and oh my god, watch the video at the bottom. It sounds just like the little mogwai....and so relaxing....and....

Okay, it could probably get annoying and it obviously bothers the dog, but it's adorable and silly and just....yeah, I want it.

*Blushes*

I'm one of those people who I never really want anything and people have a hard time buying things for me for Christmas, birthdays, etc, because I really would rather not have anything and I can never make suggestions. For me to be saying "I want, I want, I want" twice in 30 days is just insane! What is wrong with me??

For all you pregnant geeks out there -- Baby loading

And for all of you out there who knows a geeky pregnant woman....or maybe you're geeky and know someone ungeeky who is pregnant. Regardless, this is a must have shirt, hehe!

Turn fresh urine into...free drinking water

Um. Yeah.

At first glance, it can seem a little crazy, but if you read into it, the idea is interesting. The idea is to have an emergency device like this in drought-stricken areas, etc.

Basically, it converts urine (human or animal pee either one) into drinkable water when the users pee on "activated carbon" inside. That then removes the color and flavor.

(Uh, what about all the stuff inside the pee that the body expelled in the first place? It's not just about color and flavor...is it?)

Either way, you can see more labeled pictures and diagrams of the inner workings on thedesignblog. I wonder if we'll ever see things like this that actually work and are used...

~Edit May 23, 2009~ The first astronaut drank recycled urine! Check it out at the link.

Ctrl Alt Del Pillows

Control alt delete your way to ending your tasks for the day (Okay, it's lame and corny, but it fits!). Climb into bed, grab some sleep, and you can restart them tomorrow. :)

Have fun with your food -- Noodle waterslide

I'm not sure if this is so people can have fun with their food....or so food can have fun, hehe.

Obama Sushi Rolls

Is it just me or does Obama's ears look huge in that sushi display? ;-)

Add chocolate wiimotes to the list

Between the PlayStation controller shaped soaps and the chocolate Nintendo utensils, maybe I should just turn QJ into a "quirky gaming products" site instead, geesh.

Now don't get me wrong, I love what Etsy stands for and I'm happy that so many smaller crafters can get their products out there on the web. There are tons of products I never would've seen otherwise, and it's wonderful. I certainly can't complain about all the silly gaming crafts I've seen there either. Add some chocolate? Oh yeah, I'm sold.

But yeah, it seems like everything is being shaped into video game controllers now! I guess it might as well be chocolate, huh? There are also blue, green, and brown PlayStation 2 controllers.

(And no, for those who are wondering, there isn't a trigger shaped into the chocolate on the bottom.)

How to be a great tree hugger

The basics of how to be a tree hugger.....I think the picture sums it up quite nicely on its own, hehe.

Art for a dollar (Make it Rain)

Who said art has to be expensive? This would've worked well back during my Quirky Art Month, but I wanted to share it now anyway.

Caroline has more pictures of the dollar art, where Scott Campbell laser-etched his designs into stacks of $1 bills. While I thought the idea was quirky, when I followed her link to Campbell's website, it turns out he's a tattoo artist, too....and has some beautifully done tattoos that you might want to look through.

Swine Flu, Swine Flew -- When pigs fly

Okay, I didn't want to feed into the swine flu mess because we're all so tired of it. I opted to show you guys the quirky masks anyway, and I broke my rule again with this one.

But come on, this was just way too good to pass up! Swine flu/flew....just too great. I'd love to actually see this on a shirt.

Rollerblading and Mozart

Bottle Blade Mozart

This is fairly old. The source I'm pointing you to has had it up for over a year, but it's still fun and worth a look. There's a quick video of a guy rollerblading and producing Mozart's 40th symphony.

Le whif -- The chocolate you inhale

Yep, this is the "revolutionary new way of eating chocolate".....by not eating it at all. Now I like chocolate more than most people.

Remember, the only wedding dress I could ever see myself actually considering is one made of chocolate? And I own a bottle of cocoa butter lotion for the sheer sake of it smelling like chocolate.

But this? Oh my. I know people could use it to smell chocolate when they're craving it instead of actually indulging in it. Or sure, a quick pick-me-up. But for me? It'd make me want the real thing even more!

Waterproof keyboard good for coffee spills and hygiene

Dubbed "CleanKey," the keyboard is waterproof and fully submersible, even when it's still plugged in. You can also quickly wipe the surface, which is sealed and has no crevices for dust (and bacteria) to hide, as traditional keyboards do.

Devlin Electronics designed the keyboard mostly for health care institutions and schools, where illness can spread through shared computer equipment, such as keyboards and mice. The CleanKey was inspired by numerous studies highlighting the potential health risks of computer keyboards, which are said to be frequently dirtier than the average toilet seat.

That's how Crave describes it and I think it's an interesting concept. Not only is it safe to wash/submerge in water, it's less likely to get really dirty in the first place because there are no real crevices for stuff to fall into....or for bacteria to grow in.

It looks kind weird and I bet it'd be even weirder to actually type on. I remember having a plastic cover on our keys in schools that were meant to be put on when the keys weren't being used to protect against dust. Well the teacher would sometimes makes us put those on the keys to keep us from seeing what the letters were and it made it sooo hard to type, lol. Not because we couldn't look, but because the keys felt really weird! I can only imagine how long it'd take to get used to these.

 Who knows how much they actually cost either, but maybe they'll catch on and the price will come down over the years like with so many other things. It's certainly something to keep an eye on.

High heeled flippers? I don't think so.

So the upcoming summer swimming season is almost upon us....

Okay, I'm not even going to pretend to come up with some great excuse to wear these. There is absolutely no reason anyone should ever own a pair of these!!

Swine flu protection doesn't have to be boring

Nope, it can be cool and quirky! I'm sure we're all sick of hearing about the swine flu now, but go ahead and click over to Gizmodo to see dozens of varieties of masks to keep yourself protected in style. ;-)

And for you Twitter users:

Where ever you go, your food goes with you

When I first watched this on daysgoby I thought this was going to be something about watching what you eat because whatever you eat, it's going to stick with you. Enter stage left -- the doughnut and coffee. But then when the onion entered stage right, I was proven wrong. The singing about "where ever you go" and it going with you, ended up being about bad breath, and Excel gum will fix that for you, hehe.

The animated foods were kinda cute....and it reminded me of the "You are what you eat" morphed animals germ ads. Lifebuoy takes care of your hands and Excel apparently takes care of your mouth.

What's Twitter, fail whales, twits, and why you should care

Or maybe not, hehe.

For those who love Twitter, you'll get a kick out of this. For those of you who roll your eyes at Twitter and just "don't get it"....you're going to get an even bigger kick because it makes fun of people people tweeting what they're doing to people who aren't even listening and certainly don't care!
