Vincent Nguyen, Apr 23rd 2007 Discuss [0]

It’s disturbing to know that there is people out there that’ll buy this vibrating pet massager for their dogs. If my dogs (Taz & Oscar) think I’m getting this for them, they have another thing coming. Their daily activities involve sleeping; walking from the couch to the food and water bowl, back to the couch and occasional pit stops to the backyard for a pit stop. Unless your pets have some sort of chronic aches or live an active pet lifestyle, this product isn’t really for you, or is it? Should you get one, just make sure you close your windows and the blinds; god knows what your neighbors will think of you.

Abby McVay, Apr 23rd 2007 Discuss [2]

Feeling a little mischievous? The Echo Bot will definitely help you think of a whole new round of pranks. The Echo Bot is a small robot that will record up to 10 seconds of whatever your heart desires. The when someone walks within one meter of it, it will echo what you said. It has accordion style legs so you can rap it around the leg of your desk and little suction cups to attach to smooth surfaces. One logical use would be to attach it to your trashcan to scare your dog from tearing into it. Although the design isn’t exactly stealthy, it is fun. It is priced at about $20.

Jonny Glow to keep Johnny on target

Abby McVay, Apr 10th 2007 Discuss [0]

Apparently the shiny factor that mesmerizes a lot of us, applies to all males. At least that is the idea behind this product. The Jonny Glow Toilet Locater glows from beneath the seat to help the boys find their mark. I'm not sure why any full grown male would need this, because if he misses I'm pretty sure that he is capable of cleaning it up right away to hide his transgression. However, I can definitely see the perks of having one for the younger boys. It would be helpful for potty training especially. If you do have an easily distracted male in your household you might want to snag one of these. They are priced at $11.99. Jonny Glow: Toilet Locater [via shiny shiny]
