File this one under “brilliant”.  Why?  A good song isn’t always planned– it happens on the fly, often when you’re least expecting it.  What could have started as a bad chord, a missed string or a two-handed mistake could lead to the next Billboard hit.  To ensure you never miss a beat, the Ovation iDea Guitar has a built-in recorder that captures those spontaneous moments of song writing. The guitar’s pickup grabs the sound of the strings, while a built in microphone records the vocals. The songs are automatically saved as MP3s and be transferred directly to a PC for editing and sharing. Whether you’re an up-and-comer or already big time, this is one brilliant song-writing companion.  Just don’t forget to hit that little record button…  [ovation]

If you were looking for a turntable on which to spin some classic Christmas carols, Redpoint has something that will go along with all that white and red. The Model A Testa Rosa turntable stands on a solid billet base of aluminum, features a 12V DC motor (powered by batteries) and also features a composite Teflon platter damped by silicone oil. Add some custom designed arm pods to the classy machinery and it may just be worth buying it for £10,500. [via BornRich]

While we hate to admit that winter is fully upon us, at least we know that we can man our way through it the best way– without lifting a finger.  Just like our Husqvarna Solar Mower automatically mowed our lawn for us, we’ve found a solution to save us from shoveling snow this winter.  The Roofus snow removal robot scans your sidewalk and driveway and kicks out every single flake that hits pavement.  It may need some human assistance, as is shown by the included radio control, but it shows a lot of promise either way.  The best part?  You can take this baby into a cage match when she ain’t shoveling.  Hell, she might even make you some gambling money under-the-table… [yankodesign]

There are loads of iPhone cases these days– and occasionally the case is so flashy that it’s worth more than the gadget… While many of these ultra-bling cases seem designed for the ladies than for men, here is one we’re quite sold on.  This metallic option from Incase is a revamped version of the old slider case for the first gen iPhones. Additionally, they are lightly branded and do not really sport a very loud, lavish design– they offer protection, first and foremost, and for $35. Seems like an easy enough buy for everyone who’d need to pimp their iPhone, don’t you think? [via CoolHunting]

What a way to find your foothold in the dark! With the Nightwalker – a flashlight that features two downward-firing LED’s to guide you through, you can be sure of where you put your foot down. This thing not only lets you see what’s ahead or below but also has a red flashing tail-light that can be used as a safety measure to make you visible to traffic approaching from behind. Three AA batteries are sufficient for thirteen hours of lighting and a gasket seal keeps it safe even in the worst weather conditions. The Nightwalker is definitely a cool product to keep handy in an unexpected spell of darkness and $40 is not much. Don’t you think? [via LikeCool]

Vinyl fetishists (the record collecting kind you sickos) have 12 inches of love for this acrylic and aluminum masterpiece from ultra-high-end German audiophiles Montegiro. Consisting of four isolated, striped cones, the Lusson incorporates three small cones and one large one. The smaller cones hold a super-precise motor, two carbon fiber tonearms, and a titanium cartridge. The big cone does what you ask? It spins your dusty ass old records. In addition to having 12 inches of love or this artistic piece of work, you better bring your IRA and 401(k), it ain’t cheap…  [$49,500 at montegiro]
