No, we’re not talking about the kind that’s grown. Do you ever have those super stressful days at the office that you just want to scream? How about a rousing argument with your spouse? Most people love to relieve stress by yelling, or expressing very vulgar things in loud menacing tones. Everyone knows that just leads to later embarrassment and painful apologies. Enter the Stress Pot.

The Stress Pot is a small decorative looking gadget which you can leave close by in the office, and when needed, scream your heart (or stress) out into the opening. The pot magically distorts and dramatically reduces the sound output so that co-workers and spouses can’t hear it. So if you want some street legal stress relief, try some Pot. The Stress Relieving Pot.

Webcams are webcams, but Sheep-Cams are a whole new thing. Okay, maybe not whole new, but they’re not too shabby. This USB based web camera is shaped like a sheep plushy, but has a small camera lens where it’s belly button ought to be.

As far as video quality goes, there is much to be desired. But hey, I’m not complaining, I could have a sheep-cam! Practical uses are limited, but could include:

• A simple web cam
• A not so simple sheep plushy
• Put the two together and you can probably think of a 100 unethical uses…

Takeup was originally designed Henk Kowalski from Germany for a Greener Gadgets competition which has an ultimate prize of $5000 dollars. The theory behind the design is this: all the tons and tons of old computer hardware that is thrown out is becoming a burden on our mother earth. However, the Takeup uses a textile and environmentally friendly material for the majority of the case. The backbone of the case is made from an aluminum frame which by concept is adjustable.

The exterior cloth is swappable which means you can change the look of your case whenever you want! But as some are pointing out, the case isn’t all about the green effect. It provides much more than just an eco-friendly design. PC performance enthusiasts will be intrigued on our take of the Takeup case.

Don’t have an available powered USB port or would like to use it without a computer? Not a problem! Just pick up an Eforcity USB Travel Adapter ($0.49) and plug it in anywhere! You can get the USB Plasma Heart at Gadget4All for $17.
