Even geeks can use a little cuteness in their life. That’s why we couldn’t resist forcing these adorable meerkats into your eye holes. These little guys just can’t stay awake. If narcolepsy exists in the wild, these guys are just about due for a sleep study.
If you’re a true geek you’ve likely either dated a Japanese girlfriend or fantasized about having one. If by any chance you actually have one, they would surely go totally nuts over these Panda Ear buds. You know how girls, in general, not even specifically Japanese, are into this cutesy shit.
Even if you’re a hipster dude, you might dig wearing these buds. One thing’s for sure. Even though you might look a little desperate, the ear pandas are sure to get you some feminine attention. Check them out for $15 from FredFlare.
This is a knitted roll of toilet paper. If you thought that was funny, look closely. It has eyes and a little mouth, thus giving life to an otherwise inanimate roll of wool. Want one? They aren’t for sale but lucky for you, creator Anna has whipped up a nice tutorial for knitters who’d like to make their own.
There are plenty of robots that are a hell of a lot more useful then Swashbot. Hell, there are a lot of robots that are even cuter then this mini-insectoid, yet there is something alluring about the DIY SwashBot. A certain charm, if you will.
Constructed using spare R/C helicopter bits, including four servos, a receiver, a battery pack, LEDs, and a little exoskeleton, the SwashBot strolls around like it owns the joint. Even if it doesn’t have the agilty or wisdom of other robots, it’s hard to deny a robot as adorable as this. Hit the jump for videos of SwashBot in action. (more…)
The folks at Sanyo are Snoopy fanboys, they’re no shy about combining the name of their rechargeable battery Eneloop with that. So we have the Eneloopy today, a dog that takes the Eneloop battery in its tummy, the nose will light up when there’s juice in there. Then you can roughly guess how much is left from the brightness. As if that’s not the main function, there’re also a couple of plastic bones that come with the Eneloopy to make it look cute. (ah, that’s the whole point) The Eneloopy is not for sale, but only distributed to 5000 of its very special customers. Let’s see if people would kill for these dogs. — Sam Chan
