CarbCounter.

The Carb Counter. $49.95. Hey, with this you can still eat badly, but at least you can count ‘em in and total ‘em up. T’riffic!  It’s so simple to save and track your carbohydrate, caloric and fiber intake… Entering the first few letters of a food item will take you to a food (or to a particular restaurant such as Taco Bell, McDonalds, etc.) You can then easily scroll through the menu items to a particular food or meal. Remember…

Power Play.

Th Power Player. A plug-in TV game with…ahem…76,000 games on-board. Yep that’s right, the world’s first 76,000–in–1.

Sushi clock.

The Sushi Clock. $260.00. Don’t be fooled by cheap imitations, this little beauty is made from ‘authentic pieces of hand-crafted wax sushi’ . Yum!  Featuring authentic pieces of hand-crafted wax sushi, specially coated for long life, this amazing clock faithfully replicates a tray of tasty take-out sushi. To complete the illusion, the hands of the clock are chopsticks, and the second hand is a toothpick. The sushi is amazing, too, created by top-name Japanese wax food artsists [sic] at Maizuru…

Lucky shirt.

Meet Women with This Lucky Shirt. Huh? The current bid for this delectable item is $278.06. Complete with money back guarantee!  I have owned this shirt for about 10 years and whenever I wear it I attract women everywhere I go. I estimate that I have picked up or have been picked up by 500-550 women when wearing this shirt. I am just an average looking guy, I’m not rich, and I’m actually on the shy side so I typically…

DS Band.

Not to be outdone by current Sony PSP PR, Nintendo has been demonstrating some of the cool wireless tech in its new DS handheld console. Check out this fab video of a group of Japanese execs very self-consciously ‘getting down’ with some wireless co-op music playing using a new program called Band Brothers. Rather cool tech. Rather naff song. For those who are about to rock, we salute you!
