more than just a phone…

the greatest thing since... God created real pomegranates

the pomegranate phone is my latest favorite gadget.   complete with a portable coffee maker and voice translator – not to mention a sweet keypad, it is a work of art that says with every single beep: da vinci, sit down, and take notes!

i can say no more – i’m speechless with awe.

just don’t forget to check out the release date after you’re done checking out the actual phone.  sigh… i’m in love.

a website built with me in mind

i came across this website today: thinkgeek.com, and i would like to recommend it to everyone.  even if you’re not particularly geeky, i think you’ll just have fun looking through the site and imagining yourself and some friends sitting down on a friday night to play with some of their toys…  (among other products that they have)

my top five picks are (in no particular order):

1. petri dish plush toys – for anyone who loves streaking plates as much as i do.

2. Annoy-a-tron 2.0 – this would be best in serious environments involving antsy children and elderly persians who pretend that a sense of humor is yet another vice of the 21st century.

3. 1.3 megapixel spy camera sunglasses – though “1.3 megapixel camera” and  “spy” seem to be an oxymoron

4. periodic table shower curtain – a must have!

5. 42 utility towel - i. am. speechless.

this is what they say about the 42 utility towel:

Never be without your Towel again!

The Towel is perhaps the most important invention of whatever century it was invented in. The Towel is the most massively useful tool to take with you on your trips throughout the universe. It is handy for oh so many reasons: you can sleep on it, rub food and sauces on it for later consumption, use it to signal for help, wrap it around your head to avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugbladder Beast of Traal, or to dry off. And most importantly, strags (non-hitchhikers) will assume if you know where your towel is you are also in possession of quite a number of other common items like a toothbrush or a space suit (which means they are more apt to lend you said items if you ask to “borrow” them).

Our Towel is black, rectangular, and made of velour. It is based on the award-winning design of the Anti-Flatulent Fighting Towels of Flogulon Beta, with a little clip in the corner to attach it to things. It measures 16″ X 25″ and has the number 42 imprinted on it for some random reason (apparently the printer had a special affinity for the product of 6 and 7). The printing is done using a tone on tone effect, using a glossy clear ink over the black towel for a nice subtle effect. But seriously, you need this Towel. Because if you have one, everyone will look at you and say, “There’s a frood who really knows where his towel is,” which is perhaps one of the nicest things someone can say about you.

And don’t forget: May 25th is officially Towel Day. It is a tribute to a mostly harmless author named Douglas Adams.

until next time… just remember – don’t panic!
