The eiPOTT (”Ei” is German for egg and “Pott” means, well…pot) is the latest product in which designers have repurposed the Apple aesthetic in completely ridiculous ways. I’ll have my eggs scrambled thank you very much. [qed design via Likecool]

These little speakers are made from real eggshells, meticulously cut to allow for one Hi-Vi B1S driver per egg. Creator Gomhi says they sound a little “narrow,” but what can you expect from such an adorably tiny “cabinet”? [Flickr via DVICE]

Indeed, this magical fried egg has the power to guide you to the right path. That is to say, it can help you find the bathroom in the middle of the night.

Why would anyone want a fried egg push button nightlight? I’ll be damned if I know—but if you already have the cereal lamp, this egg would really balance out your crazy plastic breakfast. [Gadget4All via Pocket-Lint]

Nick Broughall — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 01:25:00 +0000

Now this is the kind of kitchen gadget I can get behind! The Tefal Toast n Egg will cook your toast and your eggs for you. It’ll fry ‘em, poach ‘em or boil ‘em, just how you like it.Not only that, but the two-slot toaster will let you toast bagels or muffins as well, and there’s a warming tray over the grill for, well, warming stuff. You can also use either the toaster part or the egg cooking part on its own, for pure kitchen versatility.

Current says it will be on sale in time for Mother’s Day for an RRP of $79.95. I say to hell with mother’s day though - I need one of these today!

Quite Possibly the Most Beautiful Easter Egg You Will Ever See

Slovenian craftsman Franc Grom drills anywhere from 2500-3500 holes into eggshells by hand to create the ultimate Easter accessory.

Couple the surgically precise artistry with the proper amount of blue lighting and suddenly those pastel plastic eggs feel pretty lacking, even if they’re filled with Hershey’s kisses and spare pennies. [TheBigPicture and REUTERS/Srdjan Zivulovic]

Jesus Diaz — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 21:20:00 +0000

Onanists of the Giz! Please check the Tenga Egg masturbator thingamajig out and tell me how the hell it is supposed to work its masturmagic, because right now, I’m completely clueless about it.

I can get this and this, but this:

Is this a condomurbator?

Is it?

Seriously, tell me.

Because now I’m officially curious, and I will have to try one out. Maybe this is the perfect complement for the Lego Mindstorms NXT masturmachine. [The Frisky and Sankaku Complex (NSFW)]

This can be yours for just $14.95 from Latestbuy.

Dozen Egg Lamp is Part of an Illuminating Breakfast

Sean Fallon — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 17:00:00 +0000

A bowl of Froot Loops and and a couple of eggs sounds like a delicious part of a balanced breakfast to me, but in this case both may be a little hard to swallow. Like the Froot Loop lamp, Ukrainian designer Igor Pinigin’s “Egg Light” takes an everyday foodstuff and transforms it into a functional work of art. The design is only a concept (and it will probably stay that way), but I think it would be particularly interesting if each egg could be removed and used as a portable light source.

Ovetto Recycling Egg: Garbage of Tomorrow

Mark Wilson — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 12:01:00 +0000

We don’t know what travesties or revelations tomorrow will bring, but it will surely include the Ovetto Recycling Egg. A simple two-sided recycling bin allowing the separation of plastic and aluminium, you may be wondering, “why should I spend $US250 on a fancy trash can?” And we could only assure you that this is no trash can. It’s a recycling egg. And it’s clearly from the future.

Also, it kind of looks like a sex doll for R2D2. [Where Did You Buy That via Treehugger]
