This is the job I want when I grow up. And no, not because it gives you a great opportunity to cop the occasional feel.

Oshiya, or “pusher”, is an informal Japanese term for a worker who stands on the platform of a railway station during the morning and evening rush hours, and pushes people onto the train. This video is a good example of just how crowded it gets on Japanese trains.

Oh man that’s great. I love how the pusher starts shoving the guy in the white coat when he’s nowhere near the door. So awesome. I could totally do that for a living. I’d love my job so much I’d even go above and beyond the call of duty, constantly honing my ability to efficiently get people on the train. I’ve already got a few new proprietary techniques in mind. Namely kicking and pile driving.

Thanks to Robin, who would make the best pusher sidekick ever, for the tip

In this world there are two kinds of things: those that are awesome, and those that make me want to kill myself. This is an awesome one. AN AWESOMELY AWsome one. That was me yelling. I know, I’m a little hoarse (but not the kind that kids ride around at birthday parties, those ones smell and shit everywhere. Actually, maybe I am). This is a video of an RC car playing the Super Mario theme by driving by and hitting bottles with a little metal whacker. I’ve watched it ten times and it’s still cool. I can’t believe the guy can drive the car that straight. Or that they found an empty parking garage to do it in. The parking garage around here is a scary place. The last time I had to store my car there I saw no less than two vagrants peeing in corners, some raunchy couple doing it in the back of a compact car, and what may or may not have been a dead hooker stuffed under an SUV (I didn’t have the courage to poke her with my tire iron).

A big thanks to Daniel and Tombo, both of whom could write books about being cool, for the tips

This is an older video of a tether car doing 200+ MPH on a circular track. At first I thought the guy in the video was participating in a bat-spin race, but then I realized he was whipping the car around to get it started. Watch the video till the end to see the thing really get up to speed. Pretty impressive. Now I’m not suggesting someone stick their leg out in front of it to see what happens when the car or wire hits it, but for the sake of science it is necessary to know whether you can cut a person’s leg clean off with an RC car.

When I saw this on Tokyo Mango, the first thing that came to my mind was the ShePhone, a crazy concept phone design with at least a half dozen functions having nothing to do with communication. (Mia is credited with its design, which is another story.)

Developed, and currently being tested, by NTT Communications, the “Mobile Fragrance Communication” service is not as futuristic as I first thought. As it turns out, the fragrance isn’t actually emitted by the cell phone itself; the service is a mobile version of an existing service which connects downloaded audiovisual content with fragrances that come out of a separate device. So, with this mobile version, you download a “fragrance playlist” on your cell phone, then the fragrance data is transferred via the phone’s infrared port to the fragrance device which contains fragrance cartridges. A device controller connected to the Internet can also receive instructions from your cell phone remotely.

Apparently, the company’s plan is to partner with mobile content providers to pair fragrances with videos, music, and other content.

Seems like an awful lot of trouble relative to the benefit, but who am I to say, considering I once said that same thing about TiVo?

Wood should be the computer component material of choice. It’s lightweight, a great heat conductor, and some of the best processors and video cards are made out of the stuff. Okay, maybe none of those things. Still, wood is cool. And that’s exactly what Fujitsu hopes people will think about their new Woodshell computer concept. As you can see, it’s a wooden laptop nestled inside a hemp bag. Oh look, the keyboard is green. *sniff sniff* Is that patchouli I smell? I don’t know about you, but I’m sold.

The modern day equivalent of the baby “brag book,” the pint-sized digital photo viewers that can be worn on a keychain, have come a long way since their introduction. The new Digital Foci Pocket Album holds upto 74 digital photos, with 8 MB internal flash memory; has up to 9 hours of battery life; can run automatic slideshows or scoll photos manually, has an LCD contrast adjustable for choosing the best viewing angle; and includes sofware to convert JPG and BMG images from your computer to the Pocket Album. (That means you’ll still need to help Grandma set it up.)

Still, it is one of the easier digital photo albums I’ve tired — the software automatically resizes for optimal storage and display on the digital keychain. At $29.99, it makes a perfect Mother’s Day gift, but I’d still preload it for her with family photos; conveniently, those naked baby butt photos of you will never see the light of day.

The SWV-08AM Megasonic Cleaning Device is a poorly named kitchen appliance that’s supposed to blast your plates clean with the amazing power of sonic, that lovable blue hedgehog that can roll up in a ball and do loopty-loops and collect rings. I’m not entirely sure how it works, but the thing can allegedly “eliminate all the disgusting dirt and agrochemicals on the surface of everything from fruit to frying pans with little or no detergent.” Plus it has a “P-Sediment” filter, so you don’t have to worry about any urine stains on your dishes. No word on price, but I’m guessing expensive. And that’s not even factoring in the cost of your grandmother’s china that it breaks. You can’t just go around sonic-booming fine porcelain, that shit’s delicate.

These are massage pants from the Wenzhou Wonderful Massage Equipment Company. What do they do for you? Well I’ll tell you, by copy/pasting the product features.

Product Features: * Built-7 group of super vibration massage, a scientific and rational allocation * Ring far infrared heaters, automatic temperature control, safe and reliable *A variety of massage * Automatic mode * Automatic regularly work 20 minutes * High-performance rechargeable batteries for exclusive use, energy, security

You know, looking at them I could tell they had a scientific and rational allocation of vibration massage. And that makes me really want some. Just a heads up though, I don’t think these are technically pants. Because pants are usually longer. These look more like shorts. Shorts that are missing some fabric in the front. You know, so your balls hang out. Wow, these are even awesomer than I first thought. Unfortunately there’s a 500 pair minimum order. Anybody want to go halvsies?

Thanks to Zachary, who doesn’t need massage pants because he’s got a harem that does his massaging for him, for the tip
