Alright. Stick with me on this one. You crazy Europeans love to created weird names for products, like The Mirror by Violet. That being said, The Mirror’ is one of the neatest gadgets I’ve seen in a long time. Hook the $60 plate up to your Mac or PC and get ready to read some RFID tags. The set includes Ztamps (glorified RFID tags) that you can stick in objects and assign actions. For instance, say you shove one inside a sandwich. When you put the sandwich on top of the The Mirror by Violet, it could open up Firefox and surf to the Scanwiches blog.

Sounds like a creative tool. I’d like to know how you’d use this cheap RFID reader. I’d probably shove some in empty CD cases so that the songs would automatically play in iTunes when activated.

Everyone loves to help keep the Earth clean. It lets us sleep better at night knowing we did our part for that particular day. I’m sure that Snickers wrapper you picked up and chucked in the trash can will save the ice shelf. Riding this concept bike called the Rabbit is kind of like that. Sure, you’re helping the environment out but you still look like a retard when you’re riding this thing. Don’t complain to me, complain to creator Felipe Tolomei.

The final design is supposed to have two small electric engines to power this three-wheeled monstrosity. Hopefully it won’t end up looking like a rabbit mixed with something out of Blade Runner or it’ll get two seats so I can pick up prostitutes with it. After all, isn’t that the most necessary application of a personal transportation vehicle?

Perhaps you popped a hard one last week browsing the Internet. Maybe it was because you’re into leather, maybe you saw Tera Patrick blowing Peter North or perhaps you were one of the many geeks who saw a Photoshopped picture of Jessica Rabbit turned into a human.

Now, thanks to the wonder of video capture, you can see how the man behind the transformation put her together. It’s only the first hour of work crammed into a ten minute video but it’s well worth the watch. Turns out her face was reconstructed from part Angelina Jolie, part Allison Hannigan and Andrew’s mustache. Oh my…

Part alarm clock, part weather forecaster, part newspaper, part communication device, and 100% cool. If we knew something like this existed, you all would have known about it way before now. Nabaztag is a smart rabbit which is capable of so many things that it’s hard to explain them all here.

For example, you can email your family member’s Nabaztags, and the rabbit will dictate your email through voice. When they say this is a smart bunny, they really mean that this is a genius bunny with the mind of a secretary / assistant.
