Toyota Develops Personal Transport Assistance Robot “Winglet”: that’s not going to be good for Segway’s business. I mean, unless Toyota’s price point is over $5,000. HAHAHAHAH!

Lego Death Star: sure it’s $400 but can you put a price on that kind of awesome? Oh, $400. Yeah, that’s probably too much.

Honda FCX Clarity: I love innovation in autos and I think fuel cells are an idea whose time has come.

MIDAS: MIT, eh? It and EPB strike me as, um, how to put this delicately, primarily oriented towards sausage parties. {via}

Worldwide Fred: awesomely-designed, whimsical products like the BatterFinger or the Shower Mic among many, many others.

How the Tweel Airless Tire Works: these are supposedly coming into production in 2010. I can’t wait!

Black Bar Glasses: get obscurity without needing postproduction. {via}

Lost-Related Greeting Card: funny. And too true. {via}

Nerf Vulcan EBF-25: ohhhhh. I have a soft spot for Nerf weaponry and this hits it square in the nuts. $39.99? No sweat. Fall 2008? NO!!

Disappearing Car Door: this is absolutely sick but it leaves me with abundant questions. I blogged an earlier version of this but it looks like they’ve ironed out the kinks. {via}

Philips MANT940 HDTV Antenna: when I switched off DirecTV, I was a little concerned that I wouldn’t be able to get good reception. I bought this antenna last night and mounted it in place of my satellite dish—it fit perfectly—and immediately found 29 digital, high-def channels for free. WTF?! Why didn’t I do this years ago?

The Second Coming of Apple TV: I just cancelled DirecTV and am going OTA, but any of this would suit me fine. I’m sick of being just a wallet to cable companies. Give me a little control and a little Internet.

iPhysics: this is almost worth the hassle of jailbreaking, I’ve got to say. Demo video here, here, here, and here. I can’t wait until the SDK is available and this stuff becomes legit. {via}

Gray Water Package Units: now this seems like a reasonable idea. Technological problems require technological solutions.

Mini Desktop Racing for the Wii: this looks like a pretty awesome racing game. I wish I had a Wii. {via}

I Want One of Those: cool gizmos and whatzits. Reminds me a lot of ThinkGeek.

Boon: these are some pretty innovative designs. I really like the Flo. {via}

Trunki: a ride-on suitcase for kids. I like the idea.

JL421 Badonkadonk Land Cruiser/Tank: the reviews are absolutely hilarious!

[UPDATE (8/9/2007): Here's the official site for the 'Donk. {via}]

NOW Watch: you could easily pay $50,000 for a watch and still not match its accuracy. {via}

Easy Glider: a very odd looking contraption.

Apple iPhone Ads: oh. my. Let’s see, what rationalization should I use? “$499, that’s crazy for a phone,” “I’m stuck in a two-year contract with Verizon,” “I’m going to wait until they get all the kinks out,” “it’s probably not as awesomely wonderful as it looks,” or “who needs such a wickedly terrific phone anyway”? Decisions.

Tiny Pocket People: the bobblehead of the noughts? This would be great for workaholic parents!

Sculpt Sand Castles: this would be perfect for my desk! {via}

Darth Vader Lightsaber Umbrella: if only I could justify spending $100 on an umbrella. O why must I live in Phoenix! {via}

Super Paper Mario: I thought a Wii would be cool before. Now I must have one!

Driving LED Emoticon: I have got to have this! Think of the road rage I could provoke.

The VOCO Clock: has 50 phrases recorded by Stephen Fry to wake you up politely. I have no idea who Stephen Fry is (even went to his IMDB page) but he sounds British and I know there’s some Brits in my reading audience.

Made With Molecules: jewelry and accessories with a science bent.

Venture Vehicles: this looks crazy slick. I could see owning one of these for a daily commuter except that I can’t seem to discern any cargo space whatsoever.

[UPDATE: Apparently, there's a similar site for the same car at Fly the Road.]

Waterfall Soap Saver: this is actually a pretty clever solution to the “problem” of soap scum. {via}

Diversion Safes: lots of good options, but the underwear diversion safe—AKA skid mark safe—seems especially effective. I know I wouldn’t touch it. {via}

Earworms: intriguing way to getting conversational in a language. I found it extremely easy to follow. {via}

Baker’s Edge: brownie pan that maximizes that most delicious part of any brownie—the edge. {via}

Remington Tangle Tamer: if this works, it’s an incredible tool. One of my three-year-old daughters has really long hair and we’ve tried everything (detangler, conditioner, brute force) but it’s never a pleasant experience. {via}

Hair Collector: ugh, this would help for my revolting once-a-quarter task. {via}

Park, He Said: a description of Lexus’ new Advanced Parking Guidance System, whose commercial is mesmerizing. More reviews abound. {via}

Doorganizer: I like this. {via}

Nikko R2-D2 DVD Projector: I am surprised that it’s taken this long to come about.

The Douche Card: leave nothing unsaid. {via}

Plen: “desktop hobby robot.” Who doesn’t need that?

[UPDATE (1/26/2007): $2,000!]

[UPDATE (2/3/2007): Here's some video of it in action.]

Atlas Rope Ascender: you still have to get the rope up there in the first place, so it’s of limited use to me. {via}

Teaposy: beautiful, but I’m more of a purist when it comes to tea.

2006 Holiday Survival Guide for Slackers: the USB Humping Dog is quite a find.

Quik Pod: a handheld tripod for your camera. {via}

Pluto Home: *wipes drool* and it’s all free!

Mr. McGroovy’s Box Rivets: joining device for cardboard boxes. Doesn’t sound like much until you see the plans offered on the site. Good lord! {via}

Brugo: intriguing travel mug that insulates the beverage in a main chamber but has a secondary chamber for cooling a single swig.

Zotero: Firefox extension that makes bibliographic acquisition and compilation a breeze.

Tail’s End Hat: great idea for women with ponytails. Okay, I guess it works for dudes, too. {via}

Coinstruction: plastic connectors to hold coins and build stuff. {via}

Will It Blend?: that is one serious blender! My blender can’t blend pens, marbles, or even a rake handle. I love the Big Mac value meal blend. {via}

Joby GorillaPod: awesome looking tripod for your camera that can be secured to just about anything. {via}

Railway Cake Pan: that’s adorable. But $34?! That’s Williams-Sonoma. {via}

Kooki Sushi: chocolate version of sushi. Looks yummy! {via}

Sock Army: interesting online sock store. Wait, isn’t an online sock store inherently interesting? I think so. I’m a little skeptical about the socks for the dudes but I really can’t grok the whole metrosexual so maybe some guy would wear them.

Adjustable Measuring Cups: nice design.

Neiman-Marcus Limited-Edition 2007 BMW Individual M6 Convertible: *drool* If only I had $139,000 to spend. {via}

Cupacake: single-cupcake container that keeps the confection upright. {via}

Skeeter Bags: nice solution—if it works—to a hellish problem. But I wonder what you do with the caught mosquitoes?

Concerto Table: clever little table shaped like a concert piano that docks an iPod and conceals some speakers. Of course, you still have a table with a dock jutting out of it.

Boyfriend Pillow: the store I previously linked to must have gone out of business. Never content to let things be, I have found you, dear Reader, a new source. (We’re seriously eyeing these toddler shirts. {via}

Catapult Kits: wow, I think my neighbors would be pissed. On the front page, under the “Mighty Roman Mangonel” section, why are there huge dinosaur statues in the background? That’s not these guys. Any ideas?

Backyard Artillery: wow, this looks like hours and hours of fun. They’ve got rubber band machine guns, a catapult watch, and a propeller-shooting gizmo. {via Dennett Ingram, co-worker to the stars}

Squid Soap: intriguing soap dispenser that puts an ink blot on your hand as you pump the soap. That blot disappears after 20 seconds of washing, encouraging kids to wash their hands longer.

Pointer Kite: this is phenomenally lovely. {via}

Philips Bodygroom: hilarious, be sure to check out the music video.

The Cloud: blow-up room for only $5,900. Might be nice.

Rogue MINIs: eye decals for when you’ve got your hood up. (Sorry, I cannot bring myself to call it a bonnet. Ever. Deal.)

Beaver Shaver: we at Found support efforts to eradicate hair down there. Although for the life of me, I couldn’t find either in the Fun and Games section. {via “Patrick Buckendorf”}

Horseballs: I know it’s sophomoric, but their product name sounds like something else. Hee hee. {via}

Playaway: this form of digital audio book is ludicrous at first blush but after reading the FAQ and thinking about it more, it strikes me as brilliant. No fuss, easy to share, and same price as CD audiobooks.

Perpetual Kid: you’ve got to love a site with a whole category for “shocking games”.

Knock Knock: great gifts, quite clever. I can’t believe I haven’t linked to them already.

Tree House Home: holy moly, that is one bitchin’ tree house set-up complete with its own hollowed-out log. Prices are strangely absent from the site, but I can’t imagine I could afford one. Their custom work is even more amazing.

Inflate: makers of inflatable structures like Office in a Bucket—easily one of the coolest product names I’ve come across.

I Like Japan: merchant of interesting Japanese things. I was very tempted by the bento box. Kind of like a tiny relative of J-List.

Sno-Baller: just in time for winter. Apparently, doesn’t do sand or dirt so it’s useless to me. {via}

Hydrofoil Water Scooter: wha? This is seriously cool. The site said I might also be interested in the 6-Foot Walk-on-Water Ball and the Transparent Hybrid Canoe/Kayak. Umm, hell yeah I’m interested! {via}

iGoatse: coolest iPod accessory ever. {via}

Virtual Laser Keyboard: I don’t mind saying that this is freaking cool.

Keyring Kite: parafoil kite that compacts down into a pouch that serves as a keyring. How cool!

Ass in the Box: spring-loaded mooning, delivered anonymously. {via}

The Gravitizer: I think this would be a much better alternative to one of those sex swing thingamajigs. $189.95? I don’t know about that. [NSFW, in case you couldn't figure that out already.] {via}

Strange New Products: there’s some real gems here. {via}

Blue LED Faucet Light: pretty cool for only $14.99 but I could see getting tired of it quickly. {via}

Turn Your Head: I saw this quite awhile ago but I can’t believe I didn’t blog it. It fits this site’s mission perfectly.
