Mini Cannon takes out beer mugs...

This is one of those weapons you’d expect the bad guy in a movie to start laughing at, only to get his eye taken out by the surprisingly powerful miniature cannon. Although if it were a movie, it would actually kill the person, whereas this cannon probably wouldn’t go quite that far. The itty bitty brass cannon is fully functioning and can absolutely destroy a decent sized beer mug.


To work the cannon you just do the same as you would with a full-sized, everything is just a whole lot tinier. It requires a very small amount of gun powder, steel balls and a fuse. Thankfully you don’t just get a picture of the cannon, but you can watch a video of it shoot at various objects like a light bulb, an egg and a coke can. It just doesn’t get much better than an adorably miniature cannon.

TVHat makes your portable video watching private

Every time I review video goggles like the myvu or the Vuzix, I can’t help but wonder why this doesn’t catch on.

After all, I love to watch videos, and if I can watch them on a Portable Media Player (PMP) in private, why shouldn’t I? Perhaps it is because many of these video goggles make you look really geeky, like Cyclops from X-men. In other words, they are not something most people would feel comfortable wearing in public without feeling like they are actively committing a serious fashion faux-pas.

Of course, if you really want to talk about silly video goggles, let’s talk the TV Hat. This oversized baseball hat is made to hold an iPod, iPhone, or any other portable media player with a small screen. The 2.5x magnification screen coupled with the flaps around the hat create an effect not unlike being in a movie theater. I’m guessing that the headphones will be sold separately.

So, if you want to watch some videos with some degree of portable privacy, than the TV Hat is probably your PMP accessory. If you don’t mind looking a little weird, of course.

You should be able to pick up the TV Hat at the Things You Never Knew Existed site for about $29.98.
