If you, like me, have held on to the near-Christmas like event that getting something wrapped in bubble wrap is, well its just gotten that much better. Sure, the tactile feedback isn’t quite the same in an electronic version, but I have a feeling it will be equally pleasurable.

It’s also a bit of a stress reliever. Oh, and did I mention that you’ll have a new means of annoying those around you, but it will be right on your keychain? I love it.

The Daleks from Doctor Who may be iconic, but take them out into the street and you’re not likely to see children and grown adults alike cuddling them, snuffling their little noses and generally coo’ing like crazed doves.  For that, you seemingly need one of Ugobe’s Pleo robot dinosaurs.

In case you didn’t know, the Ford GT is a fast car. We’re not talking Mustang fast, it’s  in a whole different league. Most of the time when you see an RC replica of a fast car, it really goes pretty slow. However, this replica is fast enough to be driven on most highways.

Samsung Quad Pen

Do you frequently get inspired with an idea or something of that nature but never have a pen or paper to write it down on and know you’ll never remember it?

Sure enough it’s been don’t though, and so long as you fit into a shirt ranging from sizes small through XL and have $40 plus shipping and taxes, you can have one. You can program up to 6 messages on it too.

Mark James made these Cardboy CMYK ink cartridges that appear to have legs, arms, and eyes. That’s because they aren’t really ink cartridges, they are just little figurines that look like it.

For the nerd that gets cubicle-sick. Not really, they are pretty cool looking though.

Mainly because they have frickin’ lasers. So, laser tag is fun. Flying RC helicopters is fun.

Combining the two with RC helicopters that shoot, and receive, laser beams just like laser tag, well that’s Head-Explodingly fun. The fun is only compounded by the fact that a laser hit makes the copter spin out of control and crash.

Over the past couple of days, RobotsRule’s Robert Oschler – long-time tipster of all things servo-actuated – has been dancing a taunting dance before my jealous eyes, and crowing about having received his TOMY i-SOBOT robot.  I’m surprised to report that I’ve kept my cool, and instead drowned my sorrows in the new English version of the TOMY website and these unboxing photos and videos of the diminutive ‘bot from waziwazi.
