The confetti cannon might be a tad on the large side for carrying to the next wedding, but it can be used for a number of things such as stage shows, parties and events where confetti needs to be launched in no time at all.

Bucky Reed probably wont be the most popular person when he unleashes his TV-B-Gone while watching super bowl at some public place. The TV-B-Gone is a device which switches off almost any TV at the push of a button. It works by using 4 infrared LED’s which transmit all the off codes for all TV’s.

The only thing it’s missing is your smarmy, high-falutin’ opinions about avant noise-rock.
