Nabawhat?!




Who cares what this thing is called (it's called a Nabaztag)? After reading about it on Yahoo, I knew Nabs and I were destined to be together.




Why, you ask? This little wifi rabbit hooks you up with all kinds of info - and reads it aloud! It can read your RSS feeds, tell you the weather, wake you up in the morning by singing your favorite MP3. . . here's the description on Amazon: "Just connect your Nabaztag to your PC and you'll have a pet that reads your news headlines, tracks stocks for you, even tells you how the traffic and weather are doing. Your Nabaztag can even be programmed to do all sorts of things -- what you decide to make it do, is up to you. . .Your Nabaztag has its own moods and personality - It'll have its own random ideas and say random things Don't sit in front of the computer waiting for an email or IM - When you receive a message, Nabaztag will warn you Feeling the need to stretch? Your Nabaztag will do T'ai Chi with you When it's time for bed, you can tell it to catch some rest - it may give you a sleepy goodnight back."

And apparently, that's just the tip of what this thing can do. It can also smell and hear (seriously)!


Nabaztag retails for $165.00 on Amazon.com. Great gift for the all gadget lovers!

First there were Cat Butts, now there's Penguin Poop!

For those of you who enjoyed Cat Butts (there was at least one, right?), now there's Penguin Poop! Penguin Poops are completely edible chocolate candies, and I think the description on the Penguin Gift Shop says it all: "Are you struggling to find a penguin gift for the person that has everything? How about one of our famous jars of "Penguin Poop"? Besides being a fantastic penguin conversation piece, the chocolate rock candy really tastes great. Why not buy a case and stock up for that long hard penguin winter?" Just when you thought you'd seen it all...($6.95, found via Neatorama.)

Periodic Table Cards

I might sound like a nerd, but of all the sciences I was forced to take in High School, Chemistry was by far my favorite. Sure, I didn't pull straight A's in the subject, but when it came time for balancing equations I rocked it out! That's why these Periodic Table Cards from Pink Loves Brown caught my eye. They come in several occasions, perfect for the Mr Wizard's in us all! (Found via Indie Shopping)
