If only Bobby Fischer were still around to see this (he read our blog daily, don’t believe me? Prove me wrong. We win.) Whatever happened to playing chess on a flat cardboard square? When Bobby Fischer left the earth, so did the great tradition of the game of chess.

The Sharper Image Roll-Up Chess Board, seems to be saying “Hey, look at me, Bobby Fischer. I’m invading your beloved game.” Bah, get off my lawn. Though, being magnetic is definitely a plus. And if you aren’t a chess player, checkers is a viable option as well. Get your own for $50, which is about $4,000 cheaper than everything else in the Sharper Image catalog. We miss you already Bobby. — Andrew Dobrow

So, you think your spouse is cheating on you, huh? Are they getting weird calls at night and then slyly walking into the next room? Meet your new best friend. The Spion Orbitor Electronic Listening device allows you to zone in on voices hundreds of feet away from you. Don’t want any background noise? Play around with the frequency levels for crisp and clear sound. A really neat feature in addition to being able to hear far and wide, is the ability to record 120 seconds of any sounds picked up with the device, which would really come in handy for hard evidence of a cheating significant other. Just don’t home in to close to your mother-in-law’s room. *shudder* Damn you, naked fire fighter hotline. — Andrew Dobrow
