It’s as simple as tossing the chuck underarm to knock over the pegs, which are all numbered, first to 50 wins. Take to the park, the backyard, the beach you can klop just about anywhere, there is even photographic evidence of klopping taking place the Sydney Opera House.

Going Gaga Over – Sikker Baby Monitor

Sunday, June 6th, 2010

While the Sikker is still in the concept stages, designers Jessica Mendoza & Henoc Monte have embraced current technology to take baby monitors to a whole new level,  an intercommunication between parent and child. The blue tooth supported docking station is sleek and acts as a home base for the bracelets, while not in use. The baby bracelet has a speaker, a mic and a temperature gauge, the parent unit has a speaker, mic,  temperature line that is fed from the baby bracelet and a touch screen that tells the time, set alarm, monitors baby heart beat data and sends mp3 lullabies to the baby unit. There seems to be no word on if the Sikker will become a reality, but I for one hope it does.
