Vintage Typewriters Reinvented

Filed under: DIYs, Design, Household, Robots

Reminiscent of the City Foundry Bots, in comes a new breed of artsy sculptures made from old tech junk. Jeremy Mayer cleverly reworks old-fashioned typewriters into life-like humanoid sculptures. Occasionally, the wild feral cat is thrown into the mix, but most of his portfolio consists of bipedal robots.

The intricacy of design is impeccable. You’d never think all those parts and pieces were in a typewriter or that they could come together in such a way to form the work of art you see above. Got an old typewriter collecting dust in your attic? You know who to send it to.

Cats Do The Darndest Things

Filed under: Internet, Videos

Ever since the Internet was created, one popular theme of entertainment has always shown through any of the other bullshit that appears on the Internet: puzzled domesticated animals battling technology. You might have seen a dog versus a vacuum cleaner mouse or perhaps a parakeet fighting some crazy flying Halloween decoration. Cat versus the printer is a new one to me. The thunderous sound effects are a nice touch. Don’t forget to check out the last 7 seconds, that’s the money shot.

Pussy Cat Playhouse

If your pussy is like mine, all dried up and withered away with boredom and fatigue, you could dupe it into sitting in a tank, airplane or firetruck to look cute for 8 seconds. Your pussy will put out fires, fight wars and even soar the skies. You can dupe your pussy into doing anything if you can get it to sit in a tank.

The cardboard playhouses takes some effort to put together but it’s nothing you and your pussy can’t handle. For $30, your pussy will either thank you for it or bite your dick off.

Pointless Desktop Companion? Where do I sign!?

Filed under: Misc. Gadgets

Chatterbots Ahoy!

WowWee, the company responsible for creating the “desktop companions”, ChatterBots, has just released its latest model. What special new features does the latest model possess, you ask? Absolutely nothing! It’s a desktop companion, so what did you expect!? For fifty bucks, this atrocious piece of shit will sit on your desk, taking up space you don’t have and occupying a valuable USB port. And for what? To make smart-ass comments now and then. If I wanted a blithering fool yelling in my ear while I’m on my computer, I’d certainly be able to find one for free, let alone fifty dollars.

ChatterBots come in three flavors: Angry dog sitting on a cat in a litter box, fat couch-potato fairy man, and perhaps the most cliche: a blue devil with wings (an angel-devil, mind you.) Grab yours today before they sell out!

Kit In Box: I’m On Ur Desk, Watching U Workz

Filed under: Household, Misc. Gadgets

We don’t think your boss would go for it in your work cubicle, but the Kit In Box is a cute little addition to your home office, as long as you keep the litter box on the other side of your home. Instead of a constant stream of incoming papers to your In Box, your work is replaced by your kitty. This way you can keep a constant eye on your cat, making sure she doesn’t escape.

Frankly, some cats are a real pain in the ass when it comes to working from home. Say your typing an important e-mail, when all of a sudden your cat attacks your mouse and keyboard, either typing a paragraph of nonsense or deleting the e-mail completely. For those moments, we want a Kit Out Box. — Andrew Dobrow

Timed pet food dispenser: never overfeed your friend again!

Filed under: Household

If you happened to be away for the whole day, leaving your cat at home alone, whether you leave a full dish of food or just a few pieces of snack, chances are by the time you come back they’ll all be gone, and the cat will be hungry again. So there’s always a danger of either starving or overfeeding your pet if you work long hours. Japanese petshots have started selling various different kinds of automatic feed dispensers, the Mr Rice automatic feeder (Gohankun) is one of the examples with a pretty standard design, just a salad-plate-esque dish with cover, so only part of the divided dish will show up at each time, you can set the timer for it to turn every 6/12/24 hours, so having 6 division will mean that you can leave your pet alone for 6 days max. The Mr rice automatic feed dispenser is priced at 68USD. You can have a better look at the dish division after the jump.
