The NeoCube

I'm not sure how this gadget works, but I want one!

Unfortunately, I get an error when going to the website referenced in the video, but I will definitely keep trying.

Gorgeous Teapot

Thanks to Gizmodo for pointing out this wonderful teapot.

I'm feeling thirsty; be back in a minute ...

Christian Gene Discovered

Somehow, I missed the episode of CNNNN that contained this important story.


Thanks to Random Good Stuff for bringing it to my attention.

Rythmic Pussies

OK, I'll admit that I crafted that title purely to conjure up interesting images in my mind next time I see it :-).

However, this video is totally SFW, unless you W in a truly horrible place!


Thanks to Neatorama.

Crappy Souvenirs

Thanks to Nerd Approved for pointing out this paperweight, from the wonderfully named True Blue Roo Poo Company :-).

It consists of a piece of smooth, round glass containing ... a turd excreted by a Tasmanian Devil.

I guess this is as good a way as any to preserve some DNA in case they all succumb to that horrible facial cancer that's been killing the poor buggers off in recent times.

Kids!

Crooked Brains has a nice set of images depicting the strange behaviour of children.

This one's my favourite.

No idea whether that's a real laptop the kid's playing with, but it's still very cute how intently they're watching the screen.

Cheap(ish) SSD

This adapter allows you to turn up to three compact flash cards into a SATA disk drive.

Given the ever-descending cost of flash drives, you could use this to build a much larger, or cheaper, solid state disk than the current crop.

Thanks to Engadget for the link.
