Specialization is for Insects.
This toy is ridiculous. It’s like taking the Furby entirely to the next level.
I was at Sam’s Club (the warehouse equivalent of Wal-Mart) when I came across this miniature robotic pony, and I whipped out my cell phone and took the attached video.
I can’t believe these things even exist, and it just shows how close we are to having little robots walking around playing with our kids.

For those of you who never quite knew what the symbols on the automatic hand dryers in public bathrooms meant, here is the correct interpretation.

Guinness beer has an ingenious new advertisement that could previously only been seen by those who solved the puzzles on the Guinness website at GuinnessTipping.com!

Wow, this video is incredible. Perhaps we’ve got some chemist in the OMB readership who will care to explain exactly how the heck this works!
This video demonstrates how to make a liquid that turns to ice at the touch of a finger. Must be one of the strangest reactions I’ve ever seen.

This video is as cool, or possibly even better, than my previous post on Incredible Japanese Kinetic Machines.
In this video, the creators of this Rube Goldberg machine (a machine that performs a simple task in a complex way) have woven the kinetic reactions all over an entire house!
As it weaves it’s way throughout I can’t help to wonder if someone’s mom is about to come home and freak out at what the kids did when the parents were out of town or something (like with the 60 foot slip-n-slide).

This review of the Canon XH A1 Camcorder
I had some difficulty with actually purchasing this camcorder. First, I couldn’t find a local retailer anywhere in Dallas. So, I had to turn to the Web.
I tried Abes of Maine with disastrous results, then I ordered it from Amazon and got free next day shipping (yeah!), but it turns out I got a defective one with a documented Iris ring problem (boo!), but a 5 minute discussion with an Amazon rep resulted in them shipping me a new one along with an RMA to send the defective one back (yeah!).

I previously posted about the famous Etch-A-Sketch artists, but at the time I had no idea that there is a virtual Etch-a-Sketch that anyone can use to practice online! But guess what… there is!
Head on over to the online Etch-a-Sketch and give it a whirl. It works exactly like a real one, which means you’ll be frustrated in no time.

Man! All I have to say to my brother is, you’re lucky I never figured this out when we were kids…
All you need for this project is:
Once you’ve gathered the requisite components you are ready to wreak havoc on your unsuspecting “friends”! Enjoy…

This chair / art is totally awesome! The only problem is that I’ve scoured the Web and I can’t find anything about it anywhere. And as most of you know by now I’m normally pretty good at uncovering strange things on the Net.
If anyone knows or finds anything else about this chair please share it with the rest of us. Thanks!
