If you enjoy a bit of technological tinkering in your spare time and aren't totally terrified of the destruction of privacies that technology will eventually bring down upon our society, you might be interested in the RFID Experimentation Kit. While...

This is the level we've reached. I'm writing about a robotic pet: a guinea pig, to be precise. Now, I hear pets are very therapeutic, and by dint of not having to clean up, feed, or otherwise look after a...

I always wanted a LazerTag set when I was a kid, but that was pretty much never going to happen. Instead, I ended up secretly coveting my best friend's. In the past twenty years or so, though, it appears that...

There are cameras everywhere these days: ATMs, airports, casinos, even in your necktie. Don't look—they'll know. The Spy Tie consists of a tiny pinhole camera that can be concealed in an average everyday necktie. It connects to a tiny digital...

Yesterday I tried to convince my boss that instead of money, perhaps I could receive as compensation this official replica Cyberman helmet from Doctor Who. Sure, it costs over $1100, but that's a small price to pay for the look...

What's chubby, wears a Santa hat, and laughs like this: "ho ho ho!" Why, Jabba the Hutt in a Santa hat, of course. The Hutt is well known to be quite the fan of Christmas. In fact, we've managed to...

I'm one of those people who needs to constantly be doing something their hands, and as a result, I love a good yo-yo. There are a few in a box under my bed, including a flashy LED one that I...
