I kinda doubt that this is an officially license Transformers product, but who cares? Awesome is as awesome looks. And since I’m misquoting Forrest Gump, I might as well add that life is like a bag of jalapenos- what you eat today will burn your ass tomorrow.

I think that this is the first mouse I’ve seen that you can totally play with all PEW PEW style and not have people think you’re totally insane. Only half insane. Or in my case, three quarters insane. What do you mean, the pterodactyls shouldn’t be made to hump each other? I’m trying to make them multiply… because I like to get the most.. ahem… bang for my buck, and these things cost $60 each- that’s a lot more than that cheap computer memory that I had my eye on.

Speaking of PEW PEW, these mice have an 800 DPI laser built in. I’m not sure what that means since I’ll probably end up using these things as bath toys anyway. I’m calling in a pterodactyl thunder strike on foam mountain! Ow, my nads!

Hard Drive Clock Is Confusing, Pretty

This video confuses me to no end, and that has nothing to do with me staying up until four in the morning drinking rum and playing tower defense games. Yo Ho Ho, I’m Captain More-Ham!

Besides putting on a pretty light show, this device also tells time. I don’t quite get how it pulls this off, but after seeing the video, I’m pretty sure that a functional hard drive isn’t necessary.

I’m pretty sure that you could set this thing to hypnotize people, which could come in really handy when the IRS performs their audit this afternoon.

EDIT: I’m getting a huge refund! Thanks Uncle Sam.

Driving In A PUMA Has Nothing To Do With LL Cool J

Awwww.. Noone can blog quite like I can,
Writing posts about Segway and GM.

Alright, GM and Segway have joined forces and upgraded the famous and much maligned dorkmobile. This coalition is being called the Personal Urban Mobility and Accessibility Project, or PUMA. You could call it awkward 2.0, or if you wanted to name it like a movie sequel, we could call it Segway II: Geeks In Cages.

This incarnation is both less strange looking and much more useful. Plus, it has a rollcage. (Anti- wedgie bonus!) Not only does it reach a much higher top speed (a very useful for running away from bullies 35 MPH), but it also has a better range- 35 miles. So basically, you can drive at top speed for an hour on a single charge of the lithium batteries.

Sadly, if you want to have a demolition derby in these things, you’re going to have to disable the internal communications device that prevents it from colliding with other PUMAs. Why is it that safety features always take the fun out of things?
