Comments on this: 2 so far. Add your own.  So a couple of years ago we were graced with Sumo and Otto, the giant beanbag pillow and accompanying ottoman, that you could use to lounge about. Now it turns out that Sumo has gone after their beanbags with the comfy stick and beaten them severely. Not only have they walloped them so hard that they're softer now, the poor things have swollen and are ginormous. Allow me to explain. This new version is called the SumoSac. And I wrote that entire first paragraph knowing that it would take you that long to get all of the obvious jokes out of your mind, and you know they're obvious if I'm letting you tell them to yourself and not going there.

Comments on this: none yet. Add your own.  Okay, so everybody keeps sending me this zombie, which apparently is for sale at Toscano. Toscano is my second-favorite catalog after Hammacher Schlemmer. 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

Comments on this: none yet. Add your own. 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. Direct link for the feedreaders. Also, can this technology be used to advance getting me my very own War Wheel? Because I still need one of those. Wait, one last thought: is this thing, for hamsters, what giant car-crushing bigfoot trucks are to humans? Categorized as: Gear

Comments on this: none yet. Add your own. 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
