Nov 13 2007 Luggage Robot Follows You With Your Stuff

Take a look at the picture. I know what you're thinking, because I thought the same thing when I first saw it. "What the f*** is that?" To my disappointment it turns out to not be a big blue train coming at you, but a luggage robot. A Russian based company will be selling "Tony", the suitcase that follows you, starting in 2009. You carry a card in your pocket and the little bastard follows you around the airport using its robotic brain, internal gyroscope, and all kinds of other detectors and sensors. If someone takes it or your card an alarm goes off. The company is already taking orders, and will gladly take your $2,000, but I'd wait if I was you. I typically don't advise buying an item in advance that only exists as an incredibly shitty drawing in Microsoft Paint.

Note: Yes, that's the real picture they provide.

Aug 13 2007 Suitcase Chair

If you hate using public seating like me, then you know how important it can be to have a personal sitting device available at all times. Enter the suitcase chair. In case you couldn't tell, it's a suitcase that turns into a chair. We may have a regular da Vinci on our hands here this thing is so brilliant. I was just thinking the other day I wished that my good for nothing suitcase could transform into a sweet chair with fake carbon fiber veneer. Not only that, but the excitement of getting to pick up all my stuff after it's been dumped on the bus station floor nearly had me in tears I wanted one so bad.
