Got A Headache?
Fed up with work? Heat getting you down? Noisy colleagues. I have found the perfect solution. The ‘Giant Aspirin’. No word of a lie. This is a massive paperweight. I wouldn’t recommend trying to swallow it, but looks pretty decorative on your desk and just think how jealous your work mates will be of you, because your paperweight is bigger than theirs…
Wake Me Up
Not sure if this will ever take on, but it’s worth a shot. Maybe your one of these people that like a quick snooze on the bus on the way to work or returning and have been travelling for hours. You want to close your tired eyes for a few minutes, but you’re worried you may miss your stop. Simply stick this badge on, write on your destination and fall asleep. No guarantees that someone would be decent enough to wake you up, but it’s worth a go. My main worry is that you fall asleep and someone carefully erases your destination and you wake up in another location. Silly and fun, but really!…

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Anyone that knows me knows I have a massive love for Turtles, Tortoises or Sea Turtles. Which leads me off to ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ game. Although the turtles I own don’t actually eat pizza or wear coloured bandannas around their heads. That would look very strange. I’m actually looking forward to this game, even though I’m not sure what it will actually be like. Here are some screenshots and concept art from the new game…K-A-W-A-B-U-N-G-A

I’m always running out of USB ports here, but with this adorable USB plane maybe the answer to all my problems. It makes a very neat USB hub and has the special ability also to double as a fan.
