Just what we need, another product to promote laziness.  No wonder America is suffering from an obesity epidemic.  No one has to get up off their butts to do anything anymore.  Turn on the TV, go shopping, whatever it is you need to do - chances are there is a gadget out there to do it for you, all from the comfort of your own chair (which, you may have actually fused with by now, lazy).  I really shouldn't complain, because lets face it, this stuff is cool, and anything that saves us time is great.  But this, is ridiculous.

The epitome of laziness:   the Self-Stirring Coffee Mug.  That's right, ladies & gentlemen, no longer do you have to torture yourself, rotating your wrist in a dreadful circular motion to get all the cream and sugar dissolved in your coffee (you poor thing!)  This battery-operated stainless steel coffee mug looks like any other boring mug, but with the push of a button it begins whirring it's contents around.

Keep in mind - it does have batteries so if you're gonna put it in a dishwasher or submerge it in water, you'd better take those out.

Now all we need is a robotic arm to actually lift the mug to our mouths so we don't have to keep using our arms.  What a pain in the ass.   

Quite a few of the techie nerdo guys I work with are obsessed with their soda. Pair that with the fact that they're extremely busy doing whatever it is they're doing, rarely having time to step away from behind the screen, and you've got the perfect reason to invest in a handy dandy USB Mini Fridge! What a perfect device this mini fridge is... unless of course said tech nerd might begin to go on and on about how the USB device may interfere with their super important computeral duties.

Whatever - it's pretty stinking cute. It's tiny (just big enough for one can), red, and looks like a little refrigerator. No batteries required, it only uses 5V USB Power. Aaand, it's only $33.

So the coffee cups and lids we drink out of tell us "Careful! Beverage is Hot!" But - just how hot is it?! There is nothing worse than burning your tongue so badly on your latte that you can't even taste the rest of the drink. Of course they make the drinks so darn hot that you can't even begin to drink it for at least 15 minutes! Smart Lids are a new creation that indicate when your drink is of reasonable temperature to drink.

The lids are a "coffee bean" colored brown when the drink is cold, and the color additive allows the lid to change to bright red when at the hottest temperature. The continuous brown ring around the bottom shows you that the lid is on securely.

Hopefully we'll start to see more coffee houses using something of this nature, because I'm tired of testing temperature only to be burned. :(
