Cats Tweet?
Not only have cats t
aken over the internet…. but now, well yeah… they have taken over the internet… tweeting cats seen far and wide.
This extraordinary new toy, which was created with the help of the University of Tokyo, comes equipped with a camera, an acceleration sensor and a GPS, which monitors kitty’s every move, translating actions like walking, eating and sleeping into tweets. There are currently 11 fixed phrases available, but Sony CSL is hoping to improve Fifi’s conversational skills soon.
The device fits easily onto the cat’s collar, so as to avoid hindering its movement, which means your cat can tweet while he is stalking all over the neighborhood. I suppose if you are an extreme cat lover this tool might just the thing for you… if you are wondering why on earth would I want to know where my cat dropped that dead bird… then yeah, you might not be too eager to give this one a try.

Its Pink Buckyball Desk Toy Time!
I am a complete addict when it comes to stress relieving toys (maybe not a great thing eh?). I have tons of little squishy balls sitting by my computer for when its late at night and something I am coding goes crash and boom. They are great… but my newest obsession is with Bucky Balls… omg, they are awesomely addicting!!
Little bitty magnetic balls (or cubes) can be mold, shaped, squished, contorted into just about any shape you can think of. They are the perfect toy to get your mind off what is stressing you out. And the best part… they come in PINK right now (or at least until Sept. 16th!) So get them while you can.. or just get the regular ones and I am sure you will become an addict just like me!
The Ultimate iPhone App For Entertaining Your Child
Ok, so there are seriously thousands of game apps online now for the iphone and some times it seems as if my son downloads a new app every single day. There is one app that is so simple yet seems to entertain him the most… although it does drive me crazzzzy…. talking Carl.
Carl Repeats everything you say in this strange yet funny voice. You can poke and tickle him and he will laugh, moan, scream, growl, and shout at you. My son just can’t seem to get enough of him. I must say that even though the voice can be a tad annoying at time, it is simple entertainment that my son enjoys- there is no violence, no shooting things, no crazy stunts, just a fun little creature that entertains us.
And of course we love Carl’s little brother as well! Check out the duo below:

‘Tis the Season for Fun Geek Toys
I just love this time of year… the chill in the air, the gleam in the eyes of kids as they walk by department stores filled with lights and bright shiny objects, the smell of cinnamon and pine, and of course… the gifts. But, we all know that it’s not really about the gifts… it’s about being together and just spending time with our loved ones. .. ok ok, so the gifts help a little.
Sharing a few meaningful gifts with each other makes the holiday season a bit more special I think so I have put together a small little list of some very cool geek toys that I am sure any geeky guy or girl would be thrilled to have, play with, or share.
For that geeky mom that already has everything but deserves something a bit different check out the eco-friendly emoticon drink coasters.Whether you feel :( or :D these coasters are for you. Mix and match and rearrange to your hearts content. They are made with layers of Eco-Felt (100% Recycled plastic bottles), cotton and cork and she will appreciate the humor in these stylishly geek emoticon coasters.
For the sweet geeky guy you get distracted by at work every day… how about a fun and super soft Robot Octopus tee. Might just be the key to his heart… plus its soft and cuddly… score!! These tees are really cool, completely original design and created using environmentally friendly water based inks. They have a womens version too.
For the most amazingly smart and cute geeky kid, try the wooden robot toy. It’s not flashy, it doesn’t beep or screech, but it allows your kids imagination to soar large and is so much fun, plus its super sturdy… seriously, my son has thrown his up/down the stairs, outside… against walls… and yeah, it’s still working just fine ;) Arms, head, and legs move, made with nice solid wood and quality workmanship.
For a perfect stocking stuffer idea that is that not only is useful but cool.. try the Robot flash drives… comes in all different colors and the perfect size to keep in a backpack, briefcase, laptop bag, or even in a pocket. 1Gb offers enough storage for tons of necessary documents, music, or just transferring important files. And not only useful but super cute which makes it easy to not lose!
For the new geeky girl in your life jewelry is something you can never go wrong with! Whether she is a designer, artist, gamer, wicked lil’ geek, or just someone special the geek chic jewelry will make her smile.
There is always that one person on your list that seems impossible to shop for… I know I have one. So finding a great charity and donating an amount in their name is really an ideal gift. A few charities I feel are worthwhile include: Heifer International, CharityWater and Soles4Souls.
Regardless of the gift, we all know if it’s given by someone special, then the gift usually offers more of a special meaning. If we can be of help to you in any way… ever… please ask. Finding something fun, unique, chic, or geeky is what we enjoy and are always willing to offer a hand in finding that perfect gift to put a smile on your geek.
We truly do wish you a wonderful Holiday Season… may it be a beautiful and memorable one!
ChicBuds Earphones Rock it Hardcore!
I LOOOVE music, totally music obsessed… everything from old skool 80′s to today’s Alternative, Rock, and more. Pretty much everywhere I go I have my ipod or shuffle with me in my purse, (aka the bottomless pit) however the earphones would always get tangled up and it’d take me forever to untangle the mess.
Now, with my chicbuds and the retractable cord, its super simple to listen to my music without the hassle and mess in my purse. The chicbuds actually come with a cute metal case and I just toss the buds along with my shuffle in there and throw it all in my purse now. ~simple~
So, not only am I organized, but I have the cutest, sexiest, bling bling earphones ever too! Everyone could use a little bling in their lives and treat their ears to somethin’ sweet!
The Chicbuds are adorned with Swarovski Crystals and created with a built-in retractor that allows the cord to expand and retract to 5 stopping points for various lengths. The clip stops cords from bouncing around and the retractable device prevents tangling when not in use.
