  • Leap, A New Gesture Control Computer Peripheral
    May 22, 2012
    I'm flying, Jack! This is a video demo of Leap, a $70 gesture control computer peripheral coming out next year and tracks motion within a 4-foot cube with accuracy down to 1/100th of a millimeter. That...is pretty accurate. If I were that accurate at catching mini-marshmallo... / Continue →

  • Brain-Dead: Exposed Brain Zombie Beanie
    October 17, 2011
    Look at this guy. You wanna look like this guy? Of course not, nobody in their right mind (or even a zombie's!!!!1) would. Even he doesn't want to, but we've all gotta play with the cards we're dealt (or whisper to the dealer you have a gun). This is a $15 beanie with two r... / Continue →

  • Unlimited Movie Theater Movies, $50/Month
    June 29, 2011
    Would you drop $50 a month to see as many movies in theaters as you wanted? MoviePass is hoping you will! Me? I don't like going to the movies. Something about sitting in the dark with a bunch of strangers makes me uneasy. I'm always afraid the person behind me is gonna st... / Continue →
  • Cheap!: $50 Star Wars Character Hoodies
    June 17, 2011
    Remember those limited edition Marc Ecko Star Wars hoodies that came out a few years ago? Those were pretty cool (well, except the $100+ price tags). These ones? Not as much. But they are less than half the price, so you won't get as pissed when you burn a hole in the chest... / Continue →

    April 12, 2011
    Seen here being investigated by a group of parent-hating teens, DON-8r is a little donation-soliciting robot that looks like something I'd want to see how far I could kick. Basically he just sits around yelling in this grating robotic voice of his until you insert some change ... / Continue →
