Don't you hate it when your hands get all frozen forming those snowballs? There's a gadget that's made to solve that problem, called the Sno-Baller. Now your snowballs can be just as precise as everything else in your life. And in the summer when there's no snow, you can use this press to create gigantic meatballs. Looks like fun, but we still think we can pack better snowballs by hand. It'll cost you $8.95 to see for yourself if its resulting projectiles are lethal enough to vanquish your winter enemies.

Haiti's Amazing Zipline Shoots You Out Over the Ocean
Something else to add to the dream house plans!
Few things look more fun than ziplines. And while we've seen some pretty insane ones, this one, which is located in Labadee, Haiti, looks particularly awesome as it zooms you out over the ocean. I'm not big on tropical vacations, but if I was I would make this place a definite stop on my next jaunt. [LiveLeak via Spulch]
ChiliPad Regulates Bed Temperature, You Supply the Hotness
This thing could really come in handy. I'd love to have this thing, too bad it's a 1000 bucks!!
If you're jittery about an electric blanket frying your brain, here's the ChiliPad from T2 International to keep you warm all night long, using technology normally seen in cooling systems for overclocked PCs. Water flows through soft coils in this mattress pad, either heating your bed up to 105° in the winter or keeping you nice and chilled at 65° in the summer.
If you're a cool cat sleeping with a hotty, each of you can control your own temperature via a remote control for each of its two zones. You'll pay $479-$999 depending on your mattress size. Hey, this could save some money on heating and air conditioning. [Chili Technology, via New Launches]

MadCatz's Xbox 360 HDMI Conversion Kit up for pre-order
Well, what have we here? No, seriously, what is this thing? Considering the absolute dearth of information given on GameStop's pre-order page, we're left to surmise that the Xbox 360 HDMI Conversion Kit exists (er, will exist) simply to allow those who purchased their Xbox 360 before the days of built-in HDMI to utilize one of the dusty HDMI sockets on their TV / receiver. Granted, we're sure hoping there's more to this thing than that, or else we're left wondering who's desperate enough to drop $89.99 to free up a single component input.Update: Turns out this thing does indeed support 1080p, and it'll come with "free" HDMI and optical audio cables, too. Check out the PDF here. Thanks, PerfectVirus!
[Thanks, David]
