Now what on earth is Nissan doing making ‘Light Emitting Sticks‘? More to the point, I suppose – what and why? ‘When bumped on the desk or shaken in a container, it generates electricity through the shock, and the LED becomes luminous by itself.’

Everyone probably could do with a talking hairbrush every so often. You know, one that tells you just how fabulous you’re looking today? �9.99.

CandyStand has done it again, with a masterly, fun packed free online Shockwave table tennis game. Addictive!

Panasonic’s new DVD-LX8 [Babel] portable DVD player is something of a fully loaded beast. As well as sporting a good sized 9 inch LCD screen, it also has an SD slot for playing back still images, video, music etc, as well as an integral TV tuner for catching Friends on the bus. You can even swivel and fold the screen back to make it a sort of flat tablet size for viewing. Also plays MP3 ,VCD and DVD-R discs. Due…

I think it would be fair to say that Mark Anderson knows a thing or two about crafting artistic sculptures out of sand. Just a bit!

Kangoo ProeXtreme Jumping Boots. ‘The height of the jumps depend on the strength of the tension springs you adjust on your Kangoo Jumps, and the energy you develop (you can buy additional tension springs and accessories for more extreme uses).’ Scary!

Just loaded up Spam Inspector and I have to say it’s one of the best implementations of an anti spam program I’ve seen so far. This one is a keeper.

The Earth Clock is a cool little floating analogue type clock which can display a live webcam image, or a weather image or anything kind of like that. Tr�s funky and tr�s free.

3D graphic wallpaper lovers should hurry to the 3DCrew.com site, where they will find a rather fantabulous selection of goodies for their further enjoyment.

I’m a bit bemused (wot again?) by this. Apparently these are Mouse Skatez. For making your mouse move faster over the surface of your…er…desk. No really, don’t look at me that way. Please. Priced at an incredibly reasonable �4.99. Quake heads only I suspect. ‘these stick one [sic] feet covers provide has super low friction contact area between mouse and pad.’

Eh? So apparently computers are dirtier than toilet seats? Really? ‘”Desks are really bacteria cafeterias,” Gerba said…’

Mmmm…an interesting little page with a variety of networks mapped out in image form. The Internet looks a bit busy I must say.

Good for George Michael. Giving away his tunes for free on the Net. Now if only more major names – perhaps those with really strong, devoted and huge fan bases – would follow suit in some way or another, then maybe the record labels would start to get the message. Hmmph…or maybe not!

Ho ho! Like this one. Radio.Blog lets you stream flash encoded MP3 files on your site. Sort of a remote music player. Deuced clever. [via Mookie] ‘Radio.blog is the first stand-alone player to let you stream your favorite songs on your website.’

Whoa, Chris Sawyer is developing a new version of Rollercoaster Tycoon. In 3D. With a Coaster Cam feature so that you can ride in rollercoasters that you have created. Oh yes!
