    Digital Underwater Camera Mask

    By Brett Zarda Posted on 9.3.2008 2 Comments

    Thirty-five millimeter film is dead. Everyone over the age of nine now owns a three-megapixel digital camera with a 10X optical zoom. Parents upgrading to telescopic lenses are passing down their relics to kids who can’t aim and have never loaded a roll of film. In the digital revolution, the disposable camera was merely an innocent bystander (along with Polaroid). But at dive shops and drug stores, the single-use underwater film camera has survived as the practical option for honeymoon photography and pool party documentation. With the recent launch of the 5.0-megapixel Digital Underwater Camera Mask from Liquid Image ($99; a 3.1-megapixel version costs $79), the end is near. To see how potent the gadget could be, I spent an afternoon underwater attempting to document a most difficult subject matter: two kids under the age of seven.

    The Entertrainer will either get you in shape, or really tick you off. The principle behind the gadget is quite simple: like your mother growing up, if you don't work out hard enough, the Entertrainer will turn off the television.

    Can't let go of the Olympics? While it's unlikely you'll be able to purchase 2008 Chinese drummers to play at your next barbecue, apparently the big human-powered wheel from the closing ceremonies can be yours for the bargain price of $1690.
