  • I Want It Wednesday: Life-sized Robby The Robot

    One of my all time favorite films is Forbidden Planet. I love Robby the Robot and I would love to have this life-sized version of this famous robot. But with a price tag of almost $50,000 I say only a few folks like the guy who owns the Science Fiction Museum could afford one. Besides…

  • I Want It Wednesday: Laser Keyboard

    Now here is a bit of technology any sci-fi geek would think stepped off the screen of the latest Terminator movie, (you do know Christian (Batman) Bale has signed to do 3 Terminator movies don’t you?) This cool device shines a red laser keyboard on any flat surface. As they say over at ThinkGeek.com, the…

  • I Want It Wednesday: OLED Keyboard

    I think this could be considered the world’s most expensive keyboard probably only surpassed by keyboards on the space shuttle (or others purchased by the US government as they tend to over pay). Each key has its own OLED screen so you can customize it to your hearts content and at 1500 bucks it should…

  • I Want It Wednesday: Big Ass House

    This mansion is for sale in my neighborhood (okay, so it is about 5 blocks away, but still close enough to see it everyday and say I wish I could have that). Well it is WAY out of my price range and pretty much anyone else’s too. Heck the taxes are almost what I make…

  • I Want It Wednesday: Lego Deathstar

    The Lego Star Wars Deathstar has reached new heights with the new Battle inside the Death Starâ„¢! This is not just a Lego model it is a playset to beat all playsets (and maybe it should at a $400 price tag). Look at everything this cool Lego set has to offer.    Includes 25 heroes,…

  • I Want It Wednesday: LEGO Mindstorms

    I love robots and I love Lego. So what better combo for me than a Lego Robot? I have the first version of the Mondstorms system and really need to get myself the new one. I love the new functionality and the new look (not such a fan of the technic sets so I was…

  • I Want It Wednesday: Solar Charger for Personal Electronics

    How cool is this? A solar charger for the iPod and other small electronic devices. This little gadget could be a life saver when out on the beach and your tunes stop pumping or your cell phone is dying and you are no where near and outlet. Now mind you it isn’t going to work…

  • I Want It Wednesday: Rock Band for Wii

    This week’s I Want It Wednesday post is pretty simple. As you can see by my earlier posts I obviously have a Wii. It took me a while and at first I wasn’t sure I was falling for all the hype. Then my nieces got one and I went over to play. Big mistake. First…

  • I Want It Wednesday: Cool Police Shorts

    I thought Dickies had cool shorts, but compared to the 511 Tactical Shorts I am not so sure any more. These puppies are pretty sweet. They are stylish, built to last, and designed to carry bulky stuff. (You know, like your PDA, cell phone, iPod, etc. Gotta love those pockets.) Besides that you get to…

  • I Want It Wednesday: Murderous Knife Set

    A little kitchen voodoo going on here. I love this guy. Stabbed multiple times standing on your kitchen counter. It is soooo much better than those standard blocks of wood. Available from ThinkGeek.com. This unique artistic knife holder is made of heavy duty ABS plastic and will be the talk of the party! It’s an…

  • I Want It Wednesday: Pleo the Robotic Dino

    New feature for me. While I could fill this blog with a daily I want it post I think I will stick to just Wednesdays (mostly). I cannot help it if I am overcome with the feeling of ‘I has to have this’ therefore making me post on other days to, but I will try…
