It’s a shame (or a blessing?) that I don’t have kids, because I’d always be buying then random junk like these huge plush Tetris blocks.

But how do you make complete lines disappear?

Here’s the link to the catalog from which you can order them. I wonder if the long straight ones are always out of stock…

Damn, now I want to play some Tetris. I guess this flash clone will suffice.

Samsung’s got a new phone coming your way. It is wicked thin, comes with a 3megapixel camera, 70MB of space and a 2.2-inch LCD with 240×320 resolution.

Some of you might remember the Walking with Dinosaurs specials that aired here in the states on the Discovery Channel. Well, the brains behind the series over at the BBC have produced a live stage show called, appropriately, Walking with Dinosaurs: The Live Experience. Now, at first you might think that this would be some lame show the likes of which you could see at your local science museum, but I’m sure the following videos might convince you otherwise.

I would love to see this. Alas, the show is currently touring in freaking Australia. Yes, that place over there on the other side of the planet from me with all the crocodiles and kangaroos. Not only do they have the best accents, but now they also have massive animatronic dinosaurs. Freaking Australians have all the luck…

Kwikset, one of America’s premiere door lock companies, has unveiled its new keyless lock for your home. It scans your fingerprint and unlocks the door. It can be programmed with up to 50 different fingerprints, and has different security levels and “lock out” features.

Now where is my Hoverboard?! Mattel, I’m looking in your direction.

With nuclear and chemical warfare looming in mankind’s not too distant future, it will be important to have the right tools to survive.

The sensors found in this package include those for sniffing out oxygen, combustible materials, carbon monoxide and hydrogen sulfide. The QRAE II has been certified to work in hazardous environments like “oil refineries, petrochemical plants, steel mills… and other confined space entry operations.”

Available alone or as part of a confined space entry kit, the QRAE II can be purchased for as little as $395 for a single sensor unit, but the mac-daddy four gas sensor model will run you $645.

It might seem a little pricey, but come the post-apocalypse, it’ll be well worth the investment.

I may not have access to a industrial robotic arm, but this amazing Wiimote hack made me go out and get a Bluetooth adapter for my PC so I could start playing around with GlovePIE too.

Here is a video of the WiiBot in action. Is that not the coolest thing? I want two of these things so I can battle with my friends. I wonder if they’d fit in my livingroom.

I am currently immersed in a Firefoxful of Wii hacking tabs and will post again when I get some cool stuff working.
