Hee! It's a plush, cuddly Book of Monsters from Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban!
Awesome!

Great Caesar's Ghost! My very own Bag Of Holding!
I need this because my Satchel of Infinite Gaming is finally reaching its last legs.

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.

Atomic Food Containers
Now that I'm in my new place, why not buy me a handy housewarming present?
Useful AND geeky!

Time Projecting Red Laser Pointer
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.

Nifty Watch
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.

Clocky
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.
Doomsday Hub
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!

eStarling 2.0 Wi-Fi Photo Frame
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.

Rebit
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.

More Things For Me
A whole raft of new presents for me over at ThinkGeek, so I thought I blast them all into one entry.
The most advanced toothbrush ever. That's how you ensure geeks brush. Make it cool.
Save The Princess, Save the World. Hey, I'm just fitting into XL clothes again. Woo!
Touch screen remote. I'll need one for all the new gadgets I'm gonna buy.
Crossbow X2. Nothing says "I Love You" like a foam dart to the forehead.
Orbit Clock. I want to clocks that tell time in normal ways. By the way, I still want one of these.
April 24, 2007
My Next Car
100% electric and over 200 miles per charge. Starts at a measly $92,000 US, but think of all the gas I'll save!
Dr. Who Sonic Screwdriver
Only 107 days until my birthday!

20 Sided Fuzzy Dice
I had a set of fuzzy dice before. Her-Whose-Name-Cannot-Be-Mentioned-Lest-She-Reappear-And-Torment-Me-Anew broke them and never apologized. I always wanted another set.
March 22, 2007
Gadget Holsters
Want to be the biggest, baddest techno-geek at your next techno-geek gathering? Carry all your gadgets in a Gadget Shoulder Holster or Gadget Hip Holster.
Cool.
Blood Coasters
Bar coasters that weep blood when you put your glass on them.
How's that for an anti-drinking-and-driving message?
March 19, 2007
Presto Pizza
Just the thing for small apartments! A countertop pizza oven that apparently makes cooks homemade pizza perfectly and makes frozen pizza palatable!
March 14, 2007
Presents
ThinkGeek is good for all your shopping needs.
Something for Jeff the Handyman.
A couple things for my mother and father.
And maybe a little something for me.
March 10, 2007
Toyger
Ever want a tiger for your very own, but didn't get one because they are too big? And, you know, kinda dangerous?
Well, how about a Toyger?
Plush Emotions
For all the IMers out there. Plush Emoticons.
March 07, 2007
Perverts
I think I need to wear this to the convention this summer.
March 02, 2007
Gift
After all their sillyness about the "poo rainbow", I might just have to buy this for Lacy and Tracy.
February 28, 2007
Flight
Okay, seriously. When these are available for the common man, I WANT ONE.

Little Tiny Galaxy
Only six months until my birthday!

The Perfect Valet
A clock that wakes you up with the soothing voice of Stephen Fry.
(He's done tons of things, including being the voice of the Book in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy movie.)
January 31, 2007
USB Tardis
It even goes VORP VORP VORP.

So...completely....AWESOME.

Will It Blend?
So to market their home blender, BlendTec has been releasing viral videos to point people to their webite Will It Blend? where they demonstrate that their blenders are powerful enough to blend dolls, hockey pucks, iPods and golf clubs.
I want one so bad.

T-Shirt Clock
How about a t-shirt with a working digital clock/stopwatch on the front?
Think of what a time saver it would be! "Pardon me, but do you know what ti...oh. Thanks."
Awesome!
November 03, 2006
Star Trek 40th Anniversary Phaser
I want THIS.
Buy it for me!

T-shirt technology has come a long way.

ST:TAS
Ooh! I just saw on Google Current that Star Trek: The Animated Series is coming out on DVD in November! Just in time for Christmas!

IR Control Daleks
Okay, occasionally I make jokes here like, "Oh, I really want that diseased mongoose statue," or "Oooh! I want this Paris Hilton photo montage."
But this is real. My birthday is only a month and a half away and I want a Remote Control Dalek that actually says, "YOU WILL BE EXTERMINATED!"
WOO!
May 19, 2006
You know what I like?
Black Cherry Vanilla Coke. Seriously, this stuff is what I believe kids today would refer to as "The Bomb". I find myself unable to resist it's sweet clarion call.
The cafeteria downstairs at work stocks it. So far I have resisted seeing if it is available at the 7-11 by our house, thus to give my cavities a weekend break.

My Birthday is Coming
Snicker.

Night Watch at the Globe!
Eee! Night Watch is finally playing in town!
Who's in?

Wanted: A Bed
We need a spare bed. Right now, it's for a refuge for either of us until we get this whole snoring/hypersensitivity/sleeplessness thing under control. Later, a guest bed perhaps, but we really need to have a decent alternative until then. The sofa bed is AWFUL.
Of course, we ain't got any money, so if anyone knows someone with a surplus bed (twin, double, whatever. So long as I can fit my 6' body into it), please let us know.

Dinner and a Drink
For people not satisfied with just having a waterbowl for your cats with a little waterfall and filter to keep things fresh, now they have one with a little basket to grow 'pet grass' in, if your cats are into that sort of thing.
February 03, 2006
Cube World
Okay, seriously. Someone buy me all four Cube World Digital Stick People. They come in pairs for easy buying.
January 23, 2006
Under-the Bed Light
It's like a LED-enhanced pillow that you stick under your bed to prevent you from tripping in the night. I've read it suggested it's a perfect cure for monster-under-the-bed syndrome.
I wonder how bright it is really?
December 16, 2005
Creepy Monkey
Actually, I'm posting this because I really, really DON'T want this. Animatronic Chimpanzee from Sharper Image.
Watch the video. It's horrifying.
December 15, 2005
Steam Wash
I know our washer and dryer are pretty decent (thanks Janet!), but if anyone has any extra money this Christmas get us the new LG Steam Washer.
Not only does it wash your clothes with steam (using much less water in the process), you can just pop clothes in and run a de-wrinkle cycle.
Anti-ironers unite!

Would-You-Like-To-Play-A-Game
Over 10 pounds of boardgame goodness! World of Warcraft: The Board Game is now shipping!

Water Chimes
No room on your nighttable for both an alarm clock and a glass of water? How about an alarm clock coaster that taps a water glass like a bell when it's time to get up?
Ingenious.
September 23, 2005
Glass TV
No boxy frame, no heavy CRT, just a holographic high definition TV made out of a big piece of glass.

Amphibious Motor Coach
Who doesn't want a motorhome that doubles as a houseboat?
The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction

Oh yeah. Rapid-fire marshmallow gun.

Space Projector
The original inventors of the Lava Lamp have a new toy. The site won't let me link directly, so go here and click on 'Space Projector' in the upper right quadrant.
Trippy!

Bacon of the Month Club
Christmas is coming, you know. Time to think about getting your loved one (me) a membership to the Bacon-Of-The-Month Club!

Inevitable, Really
Yup. It's a 14 karat gold toothpick.

A House with History
Looking for a house that's more than just some walls and a roof and have $21 million for sale? Elm Court is the former summer home of the Vanderbilts and was used for the negotiations that led to the League of Nations and the Treaty of Versailles.
Even more so, it has a library with 17 bays of bookshelves. Woo!
August 11, 2005
I Need a New Phone
Oooh! Oooh! I want a Star Trek Communicator phone!
August 09, 2005
Last chance!
Forget the table. I want a lamp shaped like a rocket from some 50s serial.
Last Day To Buy Me a Birthday Present!
It's like the classic wagonwheel coffee table for a whole new generation.

Only 2 More Days To Buy Me a Birthday Present
If you can't afford much, get me a unSound Advice Conversational Companion.
August 05, 2005
Only 5 More Days To Buy Me a Birthday Present
Ooh! A direct vent fireplace that breaks normal water down to serve as fuel and coloring. No exhaust needed as it's just burning hydrogen!
August 03, 2005
Only 7 More Days To Buy Me a Birthday Present
How about a robot that doesn't just vacuum or clean floors, but also polishes it? I think Roomba has some competition.
August 02, 2005
Only 8 More Days To Buy Me a Birthday Present
I would very much like to watch DVDs in the bathtub.
May 20, 2005
Rotating Plugs
You know these rotating plugs are one of those, "Well that makes some kinda sense. Why didn't we have those already?" sort of things.
April 26, 2005
More Clocks
Even more irritating (and thus, more effective) than Clocky, the clock that runs away and hides when you try to hit the snooze button a second time, is the Sea Anenome Clock, which not only bounces around the room, but also vibrates like a mad thing, forcing you to clutch it tightly just to turn the damned thing off.
April 19, 2005
Scrolling Belt Buckle
I'd set it to read, "Contents Under Pressure" and stuff like that.
