Kill zombies. Fast.

Need to kill zombies? I got the tool for you. It’s a Halligan bar.

(via allhandsfire.com) HALLIGAN HISTORY: Halligan is much more than the name of one of the most veratile of firefighting tools. The tool’s namesake was a fireman who made more that a name for himself. Hugh A. Halligan was appointed a New York City Firefighter on June 16, 1916 and was assigned to Engine Company 88. Halligan’s career was interrupted by service in the army during World War I. Upon his return, he was assigned to Engine 35 and worked there until he was promoted to Lieutenant on April 16, 1922. The new officer worked in Engine 22 for two years before he was promoted to Captain on February 1, 1924. He commanded Engine 86, 82, 35 and 73 before being appointed a Battalion Chief on June 1, 1929. On October 1, 1934, two weeks after his 40th birthday, Hugh Halligan reached the rank of Deputy Chief. Commissioner Patrick Walsh appointed Halligan First Deputy Fire Commissioner on August 20, 1941. He had risen from the ranks and became one of the top men on both sides of the command structure in just 22 years. It is the tool Chief Halligan designed, refined and manufactured that virtually gave him fire service immortality. Every curve, corner and dimension of the tool was studied and changed many times by the “trial and error” method. The result was a tool that could be held in one hand; one that would not chip or break at crucial moments; would not fatigue a firefighter; and could be used with safety and full efficiency. Today, this tool is an “industry standard”. (Informtion obtained courtesy of Paul Hashagen, FDNY Rescue 1, Ret.)
So yeah. Titanium goes for like 600 bucks and is only 5 lbs weight for a 30 inch bar. Steel goes for around 200 but weighs twice as much. Titanium can be found here and the steel can be found over here.

For Pan Kun fans – Pan Kun’s first love (2 parts!)

Cat control.

Filed Under (gadgets, humor) by APK on 18-02-2009

(via Book of Joe, who has a cat that walks on a treadmill so maybe he knows whereof he speaks with these things): Cats are a problem. I mean I love my cat, don’t get me wrong, but sometimes she doesn’t want to do what I tell her. Which is where the Control A Cat remote control comes in!

Yes you can buy the Control A Cat at Perpetual Kid for only $9.99!

From the product description –
Operating Instructions:

  • Point remote at subject
  • Push any button on the remote
  • Hope for the best

No batteries required… powered by positive thinking!

And that sounds about right to me. So yeah, a gag remote for the cat. And yet it tempts me so. Let’s get a blown up pic of it, shall we?

There we are. I think the eject logo on the Fur Ball button is fantastic. I just love the idea. The same company makes Control A Dog and Control A Boss models but let’s be honest here. You can train a dog or a boss. A cat is a different matter and I think it is about time fake technology stepped in to make it (not at all) easier!

(They also have Drumstick pencils that I really kinda want but in no way need.)

USB!

Filed Under (gadgets) by APK on 19-12-2008

Target is selling this Darth Vader USB hub for 45 bucks. It is supposedly a “Japanese collectable.” Yeah, whatever – it’s a 45 dollar USB HUB! Freaks.

—————————

Meanwhile, Amazon is selling this Belkin Mini Surge Protector Dual USB Charger for under 20 bucks. How cool is that thing? Adds a few outlets and can charge USB devices? That’s sweet.

—————————

Yeah for right this second that’s all I got. Sorry a bunch of work and then I am off work early and on vacation for two weeks. So today is a bit dicey for lots of posting.

Which will, I am sure, mean I post a TON today somehow.

Random.

So Google is launching Chrome, it’s own browser today. Here is the comic they made explaining the thing. Google has its own browser now? I can’t say I care, as of yet. I might later.

Japanese Cell Phone Trinket Ad (NSFW)

Why is this not safe for work? Well, to start there’s the implied male rape. And then the doll. And… it is glorious.

WindowsME, wrist news, Hitler.

Filed Under (NY Life, celeb, gadgets) by APK on 25-06-2008

So today I was discussing OS’ with a friend and came to WindowsME. My take was as follows:

I had to support it. My mom ended up with WindowsME for a year or so. It was like… having sex, with a camel, while wearing a tutu that didn’t fit and then wrapping yourself in rubber until you couldn’t breathe. WHAT WAS THE POINT OF THE CAMEL? That’s what I wanna know.

———————————-

Still not writing. Wrist is too off its game to give in. Which sucks, because I am working on a novel so geektastic, so fantastic and so “other things that are -tastic” I can hardly stand to not share it with everyone I talk to.

———————————-

And finally, saw this s an icon, need to make note of it here.

Hitler knows a good groove when he hears one.
