Because 99% of the stuff in there is just so over the top. I will say that I will make heavy use of them when I finally get my Safari Room. Anyway, while I appreciate the concept of a lawn zombie, apart from the grey complexion of this individual, there's nothing particularly zombie about him. He could just as well have been a guy living in a black and white subterranean world who just clawed his way to the surface and is freaked to find that either the world above is in color or that Legend Films got a hold of his home. Granted, "zombie" is a much simpler, Occam-friendly solution. But I dunno, he looks a lot like me when I greet the Dayball on those rare occasions I leave the Technocave. Maybe I'm too close to this. Found via Boing Boing and the many people who sent it over. Categorized as: Gear

07.05.08 by Widge @ 6:20 pm I feel like a hamster in a cage during most of my life anyway...would I really want to get inside a giant, motorized hamster ball? Um...yeah. Yeah, I think I would. If the people who are promoting Disney's upcoming Bolt don't try to include this in their marketing somehow, then they're mental. Also, can this technology be used to advance getting me my very own War Wheel? Because I still need one of those. Direct link for the feedreaders. Wait, one last thought: is this thing, for hamsters, what giant car-crushing bigfoot trucks are to humans? Categorized as: Gear

06.28.08 by Widge @ 9:56 pm I know you're thinking that this is more comical than evil. And I would agree--having read the post over at Wired, you'd think surely it was hyperbole. While this is annoying as hell, surely it can't be as evil as they're making it out to be. But then you watch the video--and you know. It's not this thing being annoying or loud that would wake me up--it's the fact its eyes are so bright they shine through the thing's eyelids. That isn't even Wrong. Categorized as: Gear

05.28.08 by Cosette @ 4:46 pm  Okay, full disclosure first: We don't actually have a KitchenAid mixer here in the Technocave (nor in its attached compound). They are wonderous things, however, and I almost one to rush out and buy one because I'm inspired. Inspired to PIMP A MIXER!! FlameKA.com makes artisan bread, and felt that the mixers they were using were just too ordinary and needed some pizazz. Thus, the flame mixer decals were born. You can buy their flame decals (and others, including roses, chili peppers, butterflies, and my favorite, one that makes your mixer look like a shark bomber from WWII) here. They also have a gallery of other pimped-out mixers, including Joel Cory's shown above here. Categorized as: Gear
