Why shoot pucks when you can shoot cars? Top Gear is one of my favorite tech geek programs on TV. Can you get this in Japan? If not, i recommend you watch it here.

If you’re the lay person who don’t know jack hammer about technology or understand what it is all about. It’s fine. I have a video here that explains what technology it is to you in ENGLISH. No techno geek mumbo jumbo like internet, LAN network, XBox, URL, Wi-Fi, username, google…..etc, just plain good ol’ English even your grandmother will understand.

Going camping this summer? Forget the matchsticks, they break anyway. Or worse gets damp and won’t light up leaving you in darkness in the company of bears. Say hello to the Swedish Firesteel. This fire starting steel generates 3,000 C degrees of spark temperature, which makes building fire easy anywhere and at any altitude. Good news is, it even works when it’s wet.

All you need to do is move the metal blade gently on the firesteel and watch sparks fly. Works great on BBQ’s too.

Features:
* Lights campfires, stoves, gas-barbecues
* Uses a magnesium alloy that consists of 7 metals
* Lasts for approximately 12,000 strikes
* Produces a spark temperature close to 3,000°C (5,500°F)
* Bright spark – can be used as emergency signal
* Functions in rain and snow
* Dimensions: main component is approx. 3.75″ long
* Weight: approx. 1.9 ounces
* Also available: MayaDust - a fire starting material made from Pino de Ocote, a fatwood pine cultivated in the highlands of Guatemala and Mexico. With an 80% resin content, MayaDust is easy to light even when wet and produces an extremely hot flame.

Schticker has over hundreds of designs you can use to decorate the cover of your laptop. iphone, ipod, etc with. It is very easy to apply and removed, I don’t know if it will leave any gummy residue once removed but I guess you will have to find that out for yourself. The designs are pretty and some are imitation of Van Gogh’s painting, i.e. Starry Starry Night like above.

And before I forget, for stuff like ipod, they have a section called Podschtickers. :P

If you pick a design from their collection, it’ll cos you $19.99 a pop but if you need to customize a design because your laptop’s WxL is different, it’ll just be slightly more expensive $24.99.

Watch out! The trolls are coming for your chain mail shirt forged by the high elves of Rivendell! This chain shirt resembles those you would find during the medieval times or the second age of the elves. Geeky, I know. I’m giggling :) Well, the closes thing I saw to this was a on a guy who swam with the sharks - he had a full bodied chain-mail on in case the sharks bit him. The chain mail will prevent him from being shred into pieces.

Hear ye! Hear ye!

I knight thee, ThinkGeeks, masters of geekiness. All hail!

Hey, maybe this could be the next chain of events in Japan (every pun intended). :)

These are real fun stuff. Something like Legos and I am sure it will appease crowds both adults and children a like. These blocks from Gakken Toys come together into the Tokyo Tower and lights up as well - that will bring a smile into any child’s face! And since Christmas is coming, this would make a nice decor under your Christmas Tree :)

You can also make other things with these block, the sky is the limit when it comes to your imagination :)

Literally, the couch is made from old Mac computers, particularly the CPU part. Actually, while it looks like a regular sofa from afar, I don’t think it’s very comfortable to sit in. The couch was made in Maryland Heights, Missouri in a Mac store. Obviously, I mean no one has THAT many old Mac sets in their homes. Or do they?

Hmm….

Anyway, your eyes are going to gorge itself when you crunch the numbers. The old Mac was worth $5500 so this sofa would cost just about…oh…$100,000? And they are thinking of making a matching dinner set to go with it now…Awww…:)

No, not:

But a website launch in Japan where you can turn yourself into a zombie of your dreams! Here it is:

http://kaocheki.jp/

All you have to do is upload your picture (or any picture) onto the site and it will transform you into a zombie customizable by you :) Send it via email to your beloved for a bite ! Here’s a sample using the picture of a man famous for this idiocracy and misused of power and a baby.

Remember Pacman from the 80’s just chomping on dots while trying to avoid the ghosts? I used to love that game so much and I was very happy when I saw these plushies from Namco. It’s the plush collection from clubNamco of PacMan and the little ghosties lol. For $100, you will geta 10-inch character from Dig Dug, a 12-inch Pac-Man, and four 7.8-inch tall Pac-Man ghosts (Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Pokey)

It would be so cute to have it lingering around your living room. At least your kids will enjoy them. Thanks popgadget for bringing back old memories of my childhood - I still remember fighting with my cousins for the controller of my old nintendo.
