[Mike]’s hacks aren’t breathtaking in their complexity, but they got a good chuckle out of us. [Mike], the CEO of The Useless Duck Company, lives in a hub of innovation somewhere in Canada, where he comes up with useful gadgets such as a Fedora that tips itself, or a door that locks when you’re shopping for gifts for your wife and you’re in incognito mode.
It all started when he was trying to learn the Arduino, and he put quite a few hours into making a device that could wirelessly squeak a rubber bath duck from the bathroom. The whole project reminded us of our first clumsy forays into the world of electronics, with entirely too many parts to complete a simple function. The Arduino being the gateway drug it is, it wasn’t long before he was building a bartending robot.
We hope he continues to construct more entertaining gadgets.
Unbelievable! Awesome! Get this guy a rubber duck!
I thought his coktail shaker was going to do something completely different :o
That’s the joke.
Also: locks the door while in incognito doing ‘shopping’
I love that in the incognito mode video, lotion and Kleenex are prominently displayed on his desk. His Amazon user name is fap. I don’t think he’s buying her a jacket, he’s jackin’ it. The cocktail shaker video made my penis run away and hide.
And the program is ‘FapMonitor’ …:)
Google username – FAP.
Amazon username – FAP.
The software is called FapMonitor.
Does Mike have a wife, or is it an excuse? :D
Hacking in the purest sense of the term.
Don’t make me hack … Oh, wait a minute … DO make me hack … Ohhhh, so confused! :-)
I got really worried about the potential damage it would cause :-o
The self-tipping fedora is a lift from a board game, that included actual inventions like eye protectors forchickens,etc.
I played that game. It was The Inventors by Parker Brothers. You had to try to make money with crazy but real inventions. Other inventions included were water wings for horses, and a dimple maker.
“Shopping for gifts for your wife”….. yep… that’s exactly what he uses incognito mode for and wants the door locked….. ;)
Sigh, yet another fedora-hater who can’t tell a fedora hat (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fedora) from a trilby (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trilby). Great journalism there, Hackaday.
