Nerd Glasses, for the geek who has everything. $2.98. Is that a Trekkie T? Lovely.

The folk at Power Paper have come up with a semi-permanent tattoo technology which takes 20 minutes to apply and then lasts for up to 4 weeks. Apparently it’s as resilient as conventional tattooing, but with none of the ‘oh grief, what did I do to myself last night after the pub?’ risks. Just perfect for all those spur of the moment celebrity tattoos, eh? ‘The technology utilizes the process of iontophoresis, whereby ionized pigments are delivered into the epidermal…

Can someone explain to me why there are so many aircraft carriers for sale? I mean you can’t turn around without stumbling over another one in your local classified section, can you? This one is a snip at just $6,450,000. [Insert clich�d car advert joke here about condition and previous owner! [Thanks Fred]

The Sony Net Juke [Babel] (aka NAS-A1) looks like it could herald the start of a new genre, the Internet attached home jukebox. The NAS (for Network Audio System) uses a special Japanese broadband download service to download tracks and albums onto an internal 40GB hard disk (over 1000 hours of music, see?). No MP3 though, just DRM’d ATRAC3 and PCM [that’s quite enough acronyms for this post – Ed]. I’m a bit worried about the fact that Babel keeps…

As you browse the Skin Registry begin thinking of the perfect name for your Distinguishing Mark or Cluster.’

Oh yes, ’tis definitely a time of seeking. Hence the frantic attempts to try and find the next big search sensation. Bob (maestro) Cringely bangs on about the MeaningMaster search technology this week. It sounds good, and is definitely worth a looksee. Of course the problem is that all new search technologies sounds good, but in the end they tend to produce results that are not much different than the Big G.

Paranoid? Or just want to make a grand entrance to the dinner party next week? Then you need a ‘U.S. Army surplus toxicological climate controlled suit‘. No really! Package includes a ‘Gas Particulate Filter with Backpack Assembly’ for those truly intimate moments. $299.95. I’d consider buying a Movie Mouse to go with it. Perfect match. Snigger.

Mirror of Beauty is makeover software with some extra ‘special’ touches. As well as the usual makeup, hair styles and lipstick options, it also includes buttons to provide a ‘virtual’ botox job (if you have to ask you don’t need it, sir), nosejob, de-aging, bee-stung lips and ‘automatic hot looks’. $19.95. Now why can’t someone do something really useful and come up with a personality makeover program? How interesting would it be to have ‘automatic hot personality’, ‘sweet, dizzy Rachel…

The Movie Mouse – Close Proximity Surround Sound Speaker. So – no wait, you’ll have to give me a minute to stop the giggles – so apparently you sit watching your home theater set up with this device….ahem……sitting on your lap. Boggle! $199.00. ‘Wherever you choose, whenever you choose, you can enjoy close proximity personal surround sound.’

Mmm…suddenly everyone wants to stick speakers into gidgets. Now it’s the turn of the vanilla portable CD player to get its own set of stereo cones. Wassup, headphones not good enough for folks anymore? Need some extra way to annoy fellow travellers with your rad grindcore beats? Sheesh!

The TP-1500 (aka My Drawing Studio) is a kind of high tech Etch-A-Sketch which attaches to the TV and let’s the dear little ones draw, paint, puzzle and play to their heart’s delight. Eight different activities are included, for when crayon and paper just won’t cut it! Perfect for some l33t h4xor1ng.

Tell me, does the new Covini six wheeled supercar remind you of anything? Will that be all, M’lady?
