The Remote Control Walking Moaning Zombie

Life isn’t nearly good enough, unless it’s full of fake zombies. It’s a rule, we geeks apparently need zombies to live and breathe. Well now you can own a remote controlled zombie, although hopefully he won’t go rogue and start trying to lash out at the one holding the remote. The remote itself is in the shape of a brain and it appears the only function of the remote is to turn him on. Once on he groans and trudge forward just like a real live zombie. Sadly, he doesn’t eat brains though. To pick one up it will cost you $24.95.

USB Key-Pressed Ferris Wheel works when you type

Some USB gadgets are very useful, quirky looking ones that almost look like toys can double as a USB hub. Well this is not one of those gadgets. It’s sole function is to sit there and look pretty. It is USB powered and when you type the ferris wheel begins to turn and flashing lights then kick on as well as having two tiny cars that move on a track at the base of the wheel. You stop typing the ferris wheel stops working. Now even after knowing it’s a pointless gadget, I had guessed that this would be a $15 toy. However, it’s actually double that, it’s being sold for $30 on Brando.

Slim Trim Razor keeps lines even

If you’re trying to look nice but without running to the barber all of the time you might pick up one of these razors. You just adjust it to the perfect width of side burns and you get straight lines. That is unless you happen to jump or something and end up with a small squiggle in the wrong direction. However, as long as you take your time and don’t rush through the job you should be fine. I suppose it also could be used in other areas of your beard if you’re the type that likes to get creative though.

Sadly, this is still just a design but as much as the razor companies are always looking for an edge over the competition I don’t see it staying that way. They are always adding more blades and claiming to be far superior of anyone else. The design was created by James McAdam who is from London. Which also could mean that those in that part of the world would get it first and those of us in the US would have to wait a little longer.

Speaker Buddies look like terrified little children

If your speakers are looking a little too normal lately you might check out this design. These are still just a design and not quite to the point that they will be retailed just yet. The strange little speakers look about like a terrified child curled up in the corner. Like perhaps one that was just traumatized by whatever it is that you happen to do in your house when no one is looking. The speakers were designed by Alex Underwood, who decided to take an odd direction with the materials for the speakers.

He used Expanded Polystyrene, which is typically a material that is deemed cheep and is just all around overlooked for use. The speakers are meant to be used in pairs, and are actually fairly large. They are also super lightweight and although shown here in white the manufacturing in EPS allows for a wide range of color options. The look of the speaker is meant to capture child-like memories and emotions. Frankly, the only emotion I see in the speakers is fear.

The Dead Star

Dead star is made from collections of used batteries. Power appliances have taken all the juice from hundreds of them and now they revive and assembled in this whole structure. This is what you can do with junks. [via Michel de Broin]

Solar Light Cap lights your path, sacrifices your dignity

If you’re tired of bumping into things at night, and don’t feel like using a flashlight then here is an alternative solution. Yes, it appears to be an average baseball cap, but when darkness falls two little lights kick on making you look like a major dork, but one that can see at night. Yes, the lights are powered by a solar panel, so that’s nice but it’s still not attractive to have a light shining down your nose from your hat. It takes only two hours for the hat to charge and will run for 36 hours. To pick one up head to Think Geek, it will cost you $34.99.

Creative Windows Advertisement

I found this at CrunchGear, what a creative ad they ever made, it reads: “Windows Vista - The Digital Future Starts Here.” I don’t mind if it is in a five star hotel toilet but not this one please. I wondered how Microsoft reacts when they saw this

iPhone Fly

This is what about, Captain-ahab dropped his new iPhone 3G into the Farmington River. He said “seeing it was the river that took it from me, it’s gonna at least catch me some fish.” So he took it apart, and make into turned into fishing lures, shaped like a fly.

Body - Lens cloth
legs - USB to motherboard connector
Head and wings - Touch screen to Motherboard connector
Second wing - Apple gasket/sticker
other various screws and parts.

Ouch. Can’t they fix water damaged phone? I believe some parts are still working.
