When I first saw this, I immediately started to laugh… Then I thought about it a little longer and concluded that this is brilliant. It’s not such a bad idea for those that require grocery transportaion without a car. Just make sure you get a cart that doesn’t have a bad wheel (not an easy task). I’m sure you’ll draw all kinds of attention as well…

“Combine a derelict shopping cart with a bicycle for a ride with ample cargo capacity. This is a nice way to save a shopping cart and a bike that might otherwise end up in a landfill. It is quite the head turner but not a good corner turner.” - Instructables

I’ve yet to see a stroller that can be easily moved around on the beach. You can’t push it because it goes right into the sand. You can pull it, but it takes a lot of effort. With the Safe Start Stroller Skis you can now glide right over the sand or even snow in the winter time. These innovative skis fasten easily to the wheels of your stroller to transform them into durable skis. Skis can be used with all types of single and double strollers and fit wheels up to 12-1/2″ dia.

Highlights:

• Turn stroller wheels into skis
• Fasten to wheels of all types of single and double strollers
• Slide smoothly over snow or sand
• Fit wheels up to 12-1/2″ dia.

There comes a time in a man’s life when they feel the need to strap a rocket to something. This is one of those moments. Watch the video below for a good laugh…

Multi-Tasking Beer Bong… Explain this to your kids on the way through the Ballpark parking lot. And I thought the 4 Port Octopus Beer Tap would be enough…

“Twelve people try out the new 12-person beer bong created by Jeff Barton of Milwaukee (in orange). Barton, a staffing company employee, designed the contraption that weighs 600 pounds fully loaded and serves two beers per person when doing a group drink. It also has a beer bubbler.”

Well that didn’t take long and appears to be legit… So, If you want to violate the one year warranty quickly, here is what you need to do to view xvid and other formats supported by Perian.

1. Open it up (4 screws on the bottom, small Torx bit)
2. Put the 2.5″ drive into a USB enclosure or whatever you want
3. Mount the HFS filesystem
4. Install Perian in /Library/Quicktime (as you normally would)
5. Install Dropbear (or enable SSH if you know how… we gave up and used Dropbear)
6. Add a startup script to disable the firewall or open up the ports you need for SSH
7. Put the drive back in and boot it, ssh login as frontrow, password frontrow (or add an ssh key for yourself)
8. Use a reference movie (use QT Pro to save a reference movie) to bootstrap your xvid file
