Things that go ‘boo’ in the night!
The SpyCye Robot is just one of the many configurations of the Cye Education Robot which apparently can deliver the mail, vacuum the house and deliver tea and biscuits on demand. We’re not doubting any of this at all, because we’re trusting souls. And we’ve had a play with the cool online demo. But what we want to know is, why has this product been so far under the radar for so long? $695.00? Cye can be set up and…

Unicorn Kiosks offers a range of Ye Olde English street furniture which is pretty darn cool. As well as some rather splendid red phone boxes (from around £3000.00), the company also has some great looking telephones which are real restored Bakelite (from £200.00) and a fabulous A & B push button coin box from the 50’s style phone boxes – you had to be there – at around £350.00 complete.

Japanese Lucky Golden Poo. No, we have abso-chuffin-lutely no idea why you, or the great Japanese public, would think that attaching a little golden poo emblem to your person would make life better, but we’ve long ago learnt not to argue with weirdness. So here it is peeps, for your…ahem…enjoyment. From $4.99. We recommend attaching them to your cell phone (as the Japanese do) for only lucky calls. You could attach it to your Wiimote for extra luck in gaming…

The i-Cy Penguin Musical Pet is actually a sort of roast vegetable dish served to celebrate the summer solstice in certain parts of Spain. But we digress. Plug this puppy Penguin into your Linux powered music box and watch with glee as it recites Eric Raymond’s books in a chirpy and yet curiously engaging baritone. Or something. $29.95. Place i-Cy where he can hear, or use his built-in speaker, or plug him into the headphone jack of an iPod or…
The 5 in 1 Webcam Memory Stick really works for its living. It holds up to 2000 VGA images, captures video and even does voice recording.

The Photon Sauna Cauterizer seems to be some sort of therapeutic device which you strap to your waist. The details on how it works or what it actually does are somewhat absent from the website, but enough to say that there are two modes – laser light and heat – both of which are controlled from a small remote panel. And some kind of oxygen rejuvenation is involved. Look, don’t blame us OK, we just report the stuff. The thermo-therapeutic…
The Single Digit Clock Kit. We love this idea, a single digit clock that displays the time as a sequence of numbers. One at a time. OK, so you’ve got to have the patience to stare at the face for a few seconds to get the whole time info, but it’s a small price to pay for such family fun and confusion isn’t it? $21.95. Now THIS is the ultimate gadget digital clock for the electronic enthusiast! It’s just one single digit… but…

The Reizen Talking Atomic Watch. Now here’s a timepiece you really don’t want to argue with.

Anyhoo, it also comes with an hourly chime which could get annoying, and it’s yours for a mere $49.95. All talking watches with an analog dial are really two watches; the…
