Is this Miss Kitten?
We thought we were immune to the dangerous cuteness that is Hello Kitty. For years we denied any attraction to Hello Kitty. We pretended to ignore the situation as slowly more and more items turned Kitty… from toasters to televisions, hand warmers to vibrators. After all Hello Kitty isn’t geeky… right?
However at the end we spotted this Hello Kitty Action DJ Speaker and were unable to resist the overwhelming cuteness any further. Hello Kitty in a DJ booth with a speaker in the base is a pretty cool juxtaposition of dance music and Kitty. She even bops her head back and forth with the music. Plug in your iPod or similar music playing device and observe the cuteness for yourself. I
f you’re really looking to give in and completely "cute out" we recommend the pink version. Hey, we won’t judge you… we’re already there ourselves.

Let one rise when ever you have the urge to do so.
Have you ever just stepped outside and wished you could just fly a little kite? Even just for a few minutes? Now you you with the Astounding Keyring Kite.
The Keyrings Kite folds into a small pouch but turns into a perfectly formed kite in moments. It’s fully functional and measures 1.5 feet wide by about 3 feet diameter.

My brain screams pre-order, pre-order! My wallet scream = broke! This sweet remote controlled will cost you $499!
Is bigger better? The world may never know for sure, except when it comes to toys. In the case of the Batman: The Dark Knight1:6 Scale Batmobile, we absolutely think that big is best. This huge vehicle can seat a 12-inch action figure (not included) and sports electronic lights to bring the Batmobile to life. It’s not quite the same as having a full-size replica in your garage, but it’s significantly cheaper to insure.

After shelling out this much money for this chair you need some serious lake floating - to calm you nerves.
This chair’s rocking motion simulates the feeling of floating in a lake, gently undulating and pitching across three axes to relieve your stress and encourage optimal relaxation. The lounge methodically rocks you side to side and back and forth. Its reclined design places your feet above your heart–a supine posture identified by NASA as being the least stressful for astronauts–to relieve back strain and facilitate oxygen and blood flow.
Two 50-watt transducers integrated into the chair produce low frequency sound waves that penetrate deep tissues and muscles for a relaxing massage. The backrest, seat, and leg rest are filled with memory foam that conforms to your body’s contours and weight distribution, relieving pressure points and provi ding therapeutic support. The intensity and duration of the massage and rocking adjust using the handheld controller.

What is up with the the general (ok, I have to admit it’s my obsessions) obsession with those retro mixed tapes. Now we got the Tape USB Hub, the ultimate USB mixtape and the paper folded mixtape version. I’m totally taped out - retro style.
Once upon a time a cassette tape was a passport to blowing a Sunday afternoon making "The Best Rock Collection in the World Ever II", nowadays a computer the same size can power a space station (and store your whole music collection). That’s technology for you.
Something had to be done with all those redundant cassettes, and in a wonderfully retro meets techno moment, a bright spark has neatly inserted a quad set of USB ports into it. Now you can power up all your myriad of USB devices with a blast from the past. There may no longer be tape hanging randomly from telegraph poles around the country anymore, but the icon can live on on your desktop.

Just for the fun of it - looks good and distracts from work. Who needs a search engine when you have a Stirling desktop engine
!
This desktop Stirling engine is powered by the expansion andcompression of air when heated and cooled, and uses the same simple yetelegant dynamics as the stirling engines from the IndustrialRevolution.
Invented in 1816 by the Reverend Dr. Stirling to create asafer, more efficient alternative to steam engine boilers, the Stirlingengine is still taught in mechanical engineering courses at leadinguniversities to demonstrate the high efficiency, quiet operation, andheat utilization of closed cycle regenerative heat engines. Handmade inGermany, the unit has a solid brass body and a glass cylinder andpiston that are precisley designed to minimize friction, eliminatingthe need for lubrication.
The alcohol burner heats the glass tube, causing the air inside to expand and push the horizontal piston towardsthe chamber. This movement displaces some of the warm air into themetal chamber where it continues to expand, forcing the vertical pistonupward. The pistons are connected to the flywheel with a system oflevers and pulleys, causing the flywheel to spin up to 5,000 RPM andenabling the sequence to repeat until the flame is put out.
