Little Joseph Candle Holder
My housewarming present for when Lacy moves into her own place.
Candle holders shaped like the heads of tiny creepy children and the wax drips over their faces.

My housewarming present for when Lacy moves into her own place.
Candle holders shaped like the heads of tiny creepy children and the wax drips over their faces.
Now that I'm in my new place, why not buy me a handy housewarming present?
Useful AND geeky!
No new essay this week. I've been happy and depressed and sleepless and well-taken-care of. And I have a Wii.

It's done. I'm in my new home now. It's weird and oddly quiet.

I think the ultimate geek toys are ones that use high technology to do things that are effectively useless or at least more inconvenient than conventional methods.
Case in point: the Time Projecting Red Laser Pointer which beams the current time to wherever you point it.
Completely useless, really. It's hard to improve on the concept of looking at your wrist to tell time, and yet...I really want one.
Here's a cool watch from Tokyoflash where you tell the time by where a rotating polyhedron crosses a grid line.
Impractical, but also very cool.
Remember me mentioning Clocky, the alarm clock invented by a MIT student that runs away and hides, forcing you to get up and find it to turn it off?
The commercial version is now available.
Okay, anyone who has heard me mention my desire for an Evil Lair knows that I must have a Doomsday Device to go with it.
This one doubles as a 4-port USB hub! Excellent!
I'm new to Funny Or Die, so you folks might have seen this already, but it made me chuckle.
Also: The Zombersons
Another amazing Old Spice commercial with Bruce Campbell. I love that man.
You can email photos to it, you can set it to read an RSS feed, it can pull up random Flickr images based on your keywords. This may be the best digital photo frame I've seen.
The big move is nigh and I'm losing my mind. Join me in the MADNESS!
And recently:
On the Pop Blog:
Interesting article about how military folk emotionally bond with their robotic equipment. Not a surprising idea, but the degree is incredible.
Natural Viagra: Brazilian Spider Bite Causes Hours-Long Erection
...in addition to pain, high blood pressure and discomfort that sends them to the hospital.
Huge complaint from most average Windows users is that it's too hard to back up your hard drive.
Well the Rebit claims to be dead simple. Like plug it into a USB port and leave it. Anyone out there know if it any good? Might actually get one of these. And another for Mom.
Don't forget everyone! It's the First of May!
