There are literally hundreds of Hello Kitty doodads flooding the market. I can’t even think of an object that hasn’t in someway been kittified in the past. Well, maybe a particle collider. No Hello Kitty branches in physics quite yet.

This Hello Kitty collage of sorts was created using nothing but Hello Kitty-branded crap. You’ll notice lots of pink and lots of white, the key colors of any Hello Kitty product. Zoom on in and you can see the specific gadgets used to create the collage. Check out the detail after the jump.

Head over to Woot.com, right now. Why? Woot off. Lots of goods. Dirt cheap. Make it happen.

Fuck a dinosaur. That shit is old and outdated. Us 21st century jackasses need a way to show people millions of years from now what we were busy wasting our time on. Luckily, we have artist Christopher Locke, who creates pseudo-fossils out of concrete and sells them for exorbitant prices. Still, I’ll be happy that that the Sega Saturn can now live on indefinitely as a failed console.

Any true nerd would love to receive a working robot to do his/her bidding. Joe-Bot does just that. It’s a three-foot inflatable robot that can be controlled via a wireless remote. Make him turn, make him walk, but don’t ask him to call it a comeback.

It’s your very own robot friend! Standing at over 3 feet tall, this inflatable buddy will fullfill your every robot need, because you can make him do it – by remote control! That’s right, this fabulous “Joe-Bot” can turn 360 degrees and move forward, all at your command. You can even make him say things with the included walkie-talkie. You and your friends will have hours of fun with this little guy.

It’s not as cool as Peter Wang’s robot, but it’ll do.

Black Friday is upon us and already the insane deals out there are making people act crazy. A worker at a Walmart in Long Island, NY was trampled to death after hundreds of people smashed through the entrance. A woman also miscarried after getting caught up in the ensuing rage. Says Walmart employee Jimmy Overby:

“He was bum-rushed by 200 people,” said Jimmy Overby, 43, a co-worker. “They took the doors off the hinges. He was trampled and killed in front of me. They took me down too…I literally had to fight people off my back.”

Jesus Christ. This is why I don’t do Black Friday and pony up the extra ten bucks for a video game.

I’d love to meet the guy who designed the traditional power strip. I’d like to ask him what the fuck he was thinking when he was designing it. You can”t fit more than one video game AC adapter and if you do, it fucks everything else up. This is why I like the design of the Powerwise table, designed by Swedish based designers Johanna Strand and Asa Elmstam. It features eight electrical outlets that are hidden inside the table. A green plug runs out of the table and can be plugged in. You can then charge all your gadgets inside your table whilst still serving up a delicious cheese plate.

Isn’t it great when life hands you lemons? In this case, eight of them.

Ever wonder what other gadgeteers are carrying around inside their laptop bags? Surely a computer of some sort and a phone, but what about all that other junk bulging at the seams? Core77 has a great Flickr roundup of photos that showcase the inside of people’s bags. Among some of the items included, we found a joystick, SD cards, books, DAPs, iPhones, keyboards, headphones, stickers, pens and so much more.

What’s in your laptop bag? I tend to keep it light and usually only carry my laptop, books, chargers and iPod. Sometimes I like to bring my Nikon D40 DSLR with me as well.
