I just love digital cameras. Before digital, photography was a real pain in the rear! You had to buy the film, take it to get processed, come back to pick it up, archive it, yadda yadda. Nowadays it’s so easy with the point and click, whip out the SD card and drop it on your desktop type of action. I’ve found a very affordable digital camera- it’s an HP Photosmart that has 6 megapixels, for just $39.99! That’s a crazy price- so crazy that I was thinking of buying one just to resell it.

Next up is this stainless steel food scale. It has a seven pound capacity, and even though it’s not on sale , it’s still just a hair over ten bucks. I think I’m going to get one for myself to use as a postal scale. Yeah, I know that it isn’t what this is designed for, but have you seen the cost of postage scales lately? Besides, I just need it to make rough estimates, not for exact calculations.

Speaking of postage, I just shipped a flat rate box- man those things are awesome! This sucker must have weighed six pounds- it would have cost me twice as much to ship it normally. I still need a scale for shipping, though- because not everything fits into the flat rate boxes.

This cube thing that you see above is a work of art and technology. When you plug it in to an ethernet cable, it searches the internet for an auction of itself. If no such auction is found, it creates one, and the current owner is obligated to ship it off. the last completed auction can be seen here.

I just played the craziest role reversal ever- Gnop , it’s pong, only you play the ball… and your goal is to reach the far right side of the game, where you emerge victorious, a ball unconquered by malevolent paddles!

The tip of the iceberg that is my video game wishlist is Wii Sports Resort. My wife wanted it for Christmas, but it was too expensive at the time, so I got her another wii fitness game and a picture instead. Well, now valentines day is rearing it’s ugly head and lo and behold, the price of the game that she wants is now quite a bit lower… plus, we need to buy another of those wii motionplus things, and there happens to be one included with the sale of the game that she wants.

This is extra awesome for me since I’ve recently taken an interest in getting a little cardio, and the Wii seems like the most fun way to do it…. besides, it’s kinda cold outside! So, long story short, I am buying this game right now, so that it arrives with plenty of time to spare for the big V-day.

For my own gaming pleasure, Borderlands is a title that sounds like a load of fun to me- it’s a first person shooter and a multiplayer RPG all in one. I’ll be buying it when I can actually afford it. I can’t think of any other must-have titles right now, but I’m sure that there’s a list as long as my arm… prototype…. ummm…that new mario game.. the list goes on!

This is quite likely the ugliest dress I’ve laid eyes on. It is meant to look like a NES controller, and that’s what it looks like. Sadly, this is not a pleasing design to have plastered on a dress. Maybe if it was a print, with many tiny NES controllers all over, then it would be cute.

Next up, we have a horribly gaudy Pac-Man Shelf:

I think that the evidence speaks for itself.

Electric socks may be a way to keep your feet warm, but if I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times: I want a trouser fan!

These battery operated socks will toast your toes, but I can’t help but wonder about the safety of this product… could wearing electric clothing raise my insurance quote ? I mean, it seems like a hazardous article of clothing to wear, especially if it’s cold… which means it could be wet…. and you could totally shock the heck out of your feet!

I was worried about the insurance cost… then I saw that this product costs nearly $300 after shipping. I think I might die from sticker shock instead of the other, more traditional kind.
