Only furries could create something so ridiculously mundane that it completely circles around lameness and cycles back to being totally awesome again. This RFID-enabled Arduino-driven tail apparently reacts to different mood chips, wagging if your happy or excited, so on and so forth.

The tail is also controllable with the Wii Nunchuk remote. If your dressing up as a possum for Halloween, this tail could be an invaluable addition to your costume.

Mmm, I’m not sure how I feel about this “mod” for the Roomba. While the furry cover for the vacuum is welcome, the strange look this toad has on its face is somewhat like the Mona Lisa’s smile: creepy and mysterious. That’s probably ’cause it’s made with real glass eyes. I get the whole toad thing, but how come I’m not horny yet?

Zing.

If you’ve ever been to a ShowBiz Pizza Place, the first thing you’d notice is how rockin’ animatronic robots can be. Nothing compares to run-down robots no one remembers, except for maybe a singing sock puppet, but these furry fret-lickers are making a come back. After Chris Thrash bought up a bunch of these bots and fashioned hip-hop YouTube videos scoring thousands and thousands of hits, the inventor of the Rock-a-Fire band, Aaron Fechter took notice and wanted in on the “YouTube phenomenon.” Now, he’s assembled a crew of programmers to crank out new shows every month.
