Web Digging: iFlask
Via Cool Material
Sneaking booze into sporting events and concerts is a no-no. That said, we’re not ones to pay $15 for a cup of warm Bud Light and wait in line for an hour while missing the damn event we came to see. Getting a little nip in will be far easier with the iFlask. Proving there is life after Kickstarter failure, the guys behind the 5 oz undercover flask have gone ahead and still put it up for sale. It sports a polycarbonate and stainless steel frame and even comes with a collapsible funnel to make filling it a bit easier. Just remember though, you’ll have to do your drunk texting on your other phone. Read more here via Cool Material

Web Digging: Huggies App Sends You a Tweet When Your Baby Pees
Via Mashable
Since the first disposable diapers hit the market until now, parents haven't needed an electronic device to tell them when their baby has wet himself. Huggies Brazil is attempting to address this perceived need with TweetPee, a fictional plastic device that attaches to a diaper and then tweets when your young one has urinated.
As this video (in Portugese — no English version appears to exist) shows, TweetPee connects to an iPhone app that alerts you when the device's sensor picks up increased humidity. A U.S. rep for Huggies owner Kimberly-Clark says that the video shows a concept and that the device is not available to consumers. The app is, though, and is designed to let parents get a sense of how often their child urinates. Read more here via Mashable

Web Digging: This Brilliant Pizza Compass App Is Exactly What It Sounds Like
Via Gizmodo
It’s 2am. You’re leading your goofball friends through the streets, trying to find an open pizza place. Yelp is inconclusive. Google Maps is worse. Soon, thanks to the new slice-finding app Pizza Compass, such uncomfortable scenarios may be obsolete. Pizza Compass ("No Frills, Just Pizza") gives you access to an excellent map of nearby pizza shops. Select one, and the app's pizza-based UI will show you whether it's open and how far away it is (the pizza steams if it's close). You spin the slice to discover which direction leads to which restaurant—"Pizza Compass" is, literally, a compass for pizza. We have Brooklyn agency Oak Studios and the artist Daniel Blackman to thank for Pizza Compass, which they describe as "the exciting new life-affirming app that helps pizza get to your mouth." According to Blackman, he was out late with friends with the idea emerged. "I designed it on a Tuesday morning and by Wednesday afternoon the fellas over at Oak Studios joined in and started developing it," he says over email. "Our goal was simple. To get create an app that would change human kind for the better, while eating pizza." The dude in the promo video? That's Gary Ray, a random actor Blackman found on Craigslist. But odds are, he likes pizza too. Read more here via Gizmodo

Web Digging: $250 Casetop turns your smartphone into a laptop
Via Engadget
We keep hearing about how handheld devices are replacing laptops, so how about doing it literally? Casetop just launched a laptop-style dock on Kickstarter that you can plug your smartphone into, turning it into the processor, graphics engine and trackpad of a "laptop." In return, the dock will give you an 11.1-inch 720p display, full-sized keyboard, stereo speakers, HDMI input, MHL video input, dual-mode MicroUSB, audio output and "always-powered" USB for charging other devices. Unlike similar offerings such as the still-unshipped Clambook (or Motorola's ill-fated Lapdock) the Casebook uses the handset as a trackpad, and the creators say that it won't be device-specific, working instead with a large number of smartphones from Apple, Blackberry, Samsung and others. Of course, it needs to meet the lofty $300,000 funding goal for all that to happen, but if you're optimistic, hit the source to plop down your $250 minimum pledge. Read more here via Engadget
