What better time to head out and go camping than summer? Fresh air, green grass, birds chirping–it’s time to replace your drab old gray tent with the What a Melon tent by FieldCandy. If you have $655 to spare, that is, because that’s how far this eye-catching tent will set you back.
It might seem like a novelty product, given the fact that it’s essentially a tent that looks like a giant watermelon, but you can expect the usual quality since it’s by FieldCandy after all. It’s made from durable materials that can withstand even the harshest weather conditions. The set comes with a designer flysheet, a matching bag, an innter tent, A-frame poles and pegs, waterproofing, an owner’s manual, and a carry bag to stuff everything in.

So Hello Kitty melons exist.
They’re basically fruit with rinds that have been etched with one of the world’s most popular kitties–and because of that etching, its price has multiplied several times over than that of regular melon. It’s being made and sold by gourmet food specialty shop Belluna and apparently, they’re extremely limited in nature as only 300 of these will be made available.
The Hello Kitty melons will be on sale until July 31st or until stocks last for 4,980 yen (or about $50) each.
What will Japan think of next?

The quantified self movement's gaining steam, with companies creating all sorts of gadgets to track our activity levels, sleeping habits and even what's going on inside our heads. Melon's an EEG headband that taps into your brain's inner workings to show you how well you maintain mental focus. We actually saw Melon's prototype predecessor last year when it was called Axio, and while this new band packs largely the same components, the design's been refined to a much thinner profile. As before, its got a trio of electrodes for sensing brainwaves, a NeuroSky chip for filtering out extraneous electrical noise and Bluetooth 4.0 for offloading data wirelessly. It sends data to iPhones (Android's in development) running the Melon app, which translates that info into a focus graph -- generally speaking, the higher the neural activity in your pre-frontal cortex, the higher your level of focus. Users then input contextual data tags like time of day, type of activity and the surrounding environmental conditions to allow them to track variables that may affect their focus.
