iTop

The iTop digital spinning top. $10.99.  This is no ordinary spinning top and it will twirl the old ones right out of the water! The iTop has a very cool display that “magically” shows scores, bits of words and instructions…Through the electronic display, you can see how fast the iTop is spinning, and how long you can get it to turn (the top actually keeps count of the number of rotations and displays your score on its surface!) There is…

Cough!

The Coughing Ashtray $9.98. Well hey, c’mon, it’s almost New Year’s Resolution time after all. Also in silver.  Hilarious gag that will have them laughing (and hopefully quitting smoking) instead of coughing! What looks like an ordinary ashtray starts hacking and coughing uncontrollably when you rest a cig in the slots, or flick ashes in the middle!

Hotspotter.

The Canary Wireless Digital Hotspotter. $49.95. Apparently, according to Ferrety reader Doobie-Won, this is the bees kneecaps for locating wireless signals when out and about. And who, pray, are we to argue?  The Digital Hotspotter is the first full-featured, second-generation Wi-Fi detection and analysis device. Like “first generation” analog Wi-Fi detectors, the Digital Hotspotter detects signal availability and strength. However, it is the only device of its kind that provides essential information about wireless networks, including:

Kick back.

The Kick Bike. A$699.00. Apparently these strange hybrid scooter bicycle devices are all the rage down under. And good for the abs too, no doubt. The Ferret thinks they look like hard work. Far.Too.Much hard work.

The Bat.

The MLB Bat UAV. Now THIS is a seriously funky robot plane. I mean it comes complete with its own catapult launcher for goodness sake! From only $42,000.00, so maybe I’ll add it to the Xmas stocking list.  The Bat is a complete man-portable UAV system that operates autonomously and delivers high quality video imagery. A ready-to-fly aircraft with standard sensor payload and complete ground station is available starting at US$42000…The Bat has a wingspan of 5 feet, weighs only…

Artistic license.

A Painting a Day. Great blog with a great idea from Duane Keiser. Except everything seems to sell out instantly!  For this blog I’m going to try to make a painting each day (starting 12/10/2004.) Most of the paintings on this blog will be postcard-sized oil sketches (I call them Postcard Paintings.) I paint them on site, using a modified cigar box as an easel. Occasionally I may post a larger, more finished painting, in which case I’ll include the…
