Haha, not like I could afford it, but I think the 18-inch Tahitian round pearl necklaces look really elegant, and the subtle differences in tone are a nice touch... : )

I come here first!
I definitely prefer off-beat stuff. And I like odd/interesting that can actually be bought.

Personally I'm less interested in reading about the 'standard' gadgets (e.g. cellphones, PDAs, etc.) since they all have other blogs devoted to those items/topics already.

Mmm, okay sorry, that was rather rude. But it is pretty damn big.
I just saw another post about a GPS device, and they have a picture of it hanging off a belt-loop on your pants so it won't clutter up your pocketspace. I think that would be a more practical idea for your tracker too... : P

Just judging by the video, I think it means your fries will be 3% fat, not "at about 3% of the fat of regular fries". Of course, I assume that's still a very significant improvement over regular fries... : P

I wonder what happens when pesky kids start peeing in *this* pool... : P

So the materials they use are non-toxic, but what about your inkjet ink? : P

"Carlos was actually designed for a college project and was intended to be a study of how robots could be used to help the less fortunate."
I must be missing something. How is this infernal contraption supposed to help homeless people?? o_O

Re: BMW GINA Shape-Shifting Car Concept

Ohhhh, 'JEE-na'...
Before I started reading about the origins of the name, I thought it was called GINA because of the big vagina-shaped hole on the hood in the picture. : D

(whoops, I should say vulva-shaped instead)

I wonder how long it will take before the novelty value wears off and you regret buying that hunk of junk. : P

Heh, it's ironic how even when viewers (such as Greg and Sheldon) don't like the direction the studio is taking with a remake, they still watch it anyway.

Wow, and to think, they were even smart enough to include a backup backup alarm in case you don't wake up from their small alarm:
a) clock is made of wood
b) bacon keeps cooking if you don't get up to eat it
c) clock catches fire
d) you get woken up by a 90-decibel smoke alarm screeching : D
