Indoor Dog Restroom

Well, I suppose the title really does say it all. It is exactly what it claims. No more cold wet nights out on the street with good old Fido. Now Fido can piddle without worry in the family room.

Don't ask me what this smells like, or if it's really worth the convenience, of teaching your pooch it's okay to pee inside. I wouldn't know. I'm a cat person, and we've always had this luxury...

Toilet Seat Lifter

You're going along with your normal day, until someone finally looks at a task and says

"Why do we do it that way?"

"We've always done it like that."

"Well, I'm sick an tired of it!"


And then out of the blue you have a wild invention like this one. The automatic toilet seat lifter! No more bending down to touch a nasty toilet seat, and no one complaining if you forget to return it. Why not? I didn't even know I needed one before today!

Automatic Toothpaste Dispenser

Are you a top squeezer or bottom pusher? Everyone has a thing about the tube of paste. Personally I'm a roller. I'm a base roller and my wife is a middle presser. Who wants to spend time arguing over a piece of plastic filled with minty mouth paste? Really, haven't we got better things to do?


Enter the newest, and oddest invention this week. The automatic toothpaste dispenser. The unit will hold a tube of mouth soap, and allow you, by pushing a lever with your toothbrush, to get a squirt of cleaner. So simple.

Stormtrooper Dress Up

I can't believe when looking back that I haven't showcased any Star Wars gear here. As a geek this is a supreme faux pas. So we're going to skip the Lego Star Wars ships and jump right to something a little more over the top
"TK-421 Why aren't you at your post!" That's right the life of a Stormtrooper is a glorious one. Following driod directors, guarding prisoners, and discussing the new new BT-16. "I hear it's really something to see!" Now you can live the dream!

Banana Bunker

Here it is folks. For years we have endured the mushy banana meat that comes from too much banana bashing. There was little to be done, short of eating them green. Well, no more!

Now there is a product here, and it seems to be the best way I can think of to protect your banana from bruising. The banana bunker is the Kevlar vest of the fruit world. I'm not sure what else there is to say. We have finally evolved.

Twinkies At Home

Let me start off by saying, "I am not much of a Twinkie fan." It's not that I'm not into sweets, or even processed sweets. I am essentially the antithesis of healthy living. I don't think I overstate my bounds by saying, 'most geeks aren't health nuts', but either way, I've never identified with the Twinkie.

It just seems kinda, well... dull. You know like, um reruns of Perry Mason. If there's nothing else, then fine, but not "WOW" or anything.


Now I see you can make this treat at home. I have to tell you every part of me wants to buy this. Not so I can eat them and love them, but just because. I can't explain it. I want to spend 30 minutes making Twinkie's at home just to look at them and say "I made this Twinkie in my very own oven. Look! No expiration date!"

Then throw it away and go out and buy a HoHo.

Popcorn Fork

Inventors! Do you have any great ideas to share with the world? Afraid of rejection? Worried people won't like it? Many great inventions never get off the ground because of this line of thinking. Well let me give you some encouragement. If the popcorn fork can make it, anything can make it.

So the ultimate finger food just gained a utensil. For reasons I can neither explain nor understand this three pronged gadget is on the market and selling. So for either the fastidiously neat or for the highly germ sensitive, now no one has to actually make human contact with popcorn again!

Pac-Man

Rack this one up with all the other stuff my kids will never understand or appreciate. Somewhere between Light-Bright and our speak-n-spells. When it comes down to it, most of us can remember hours of our lives standing up at local mini-mart/movies/ihop/arcade playing video games, just with the hope of seeing our initials in blaring 8-bit gloating glory!


So if you're hankering for a little retro action, and can still name all the Pac-Man ghosts, then this 25th anniversary collectors game cabinet might be right up your alley! You can then explain to your kids that every level is exactly like the level before... and see if their little brains pop.

Watts of Warmth

Bitter colds got you down? No matter what you do, are your toes still freezing. Well I may have stumbled upon the solution to your icy woes. Why not juice up your life with 22 watts of warmth?


Electric heated socks. That's right, warming voltage in your souls. Now, the grown-up in me worries about sweat and electricity mingling in my archways, but the geek in me can't wait to try a pair! This could either be the greatest idea in history, or the platform for the next class action lawsuit!

Remote Controlled Snacking

It doesn't get anymore geek than this! You've got the HTML code T-Shirt, The leather bound copy of the Hitchhikers Guide To the Galaxy, but do you have a remote controlled floating snack tray for the pool?

That's right, pool side exercise just got a whole less active! Come on, how geeky can you get!? This invention is the epitome of pool time laziness, coupled with the pasty white glare of geekiness. So if you haven't gotten your's yet, check it out!

The Over Indulgent

LED Faucet

If you are even the slightest bit as geeky as me, you will certainly find this cool! The LED faucet has been out for a while. Basically it's a blue light that hooks up to your faucet, and turns on whenever the water was running. A fun novelty. Well, it recent got upgraded!


This new faucet bling, knows the difference between hot and cold! Thats right, a red glow for hot and a blue glow for cool. This is one must have geek gizmo!

Hmmm... Donuts!

Are you a crazed gluten munching machine? Do you love hot fresh donuts, but hate all the calories you have to burn my getting dressed and driving to the donut take-out shop? Or maybe you just can never decided what to get and spend hours on debating between jelly or custard filled.

Can life possibly get any better?

Skocking Pen

Now, as may or may not know, I'm a bit of a pen nut. I have a thing for nice pens, and abhor the cheap generic writing instruments that come in boxes of 10 or more. They're light and filmy, they leak and they write horribly. So I have a collection of nice, heavy smooth writing instruments. I get very unhappy when they turn up missing!

Enter my new best friend, the shocking pen. Turn those kleptomaniacs into normal 'personal property respecting' citizens!

The shocking pen is a great gag, or the vindictive tool of those of us who can't stand people pinching our pens! It's a pretty thin line between them.
