I’m tired of getting pushed around, so I’m creating the very first Robot Army. Dubbed RoboPhilo, this gem of a robot comes fully assembled for $500, but I plan to assemble them myself, so I can custom them to my needs. You know, with proton lasers and other futuristic weapons I have yet to invent.

Anyways, my take over of the earth should be eminent any time next Tuesday, and the only way to save yourselves is to join my army, or leave a comment below.

Every day, we wait in ignorance while our bread toasts. It is during this quiet time that our fears and worries consume us. Or, maybe that’s just me. In any case, Krups has released a toaster that provides constant feedback on the status of the toasting process. It also looks good, if your kitchen has that Jetsonian retro-futuristic look.

Dan Havel and Dean Ruck have done something amazing, they have created the first black hole on earth! Well, not really, but it sure looks awesome. They managed to convert an otherwise normal house into a work of art, basically a “funnel-like vortex running between the two that ends in a small hole in an adjacent courtyard.” It really does look like either some futuristic space weapon was tested on a house, a black hole, or a really cool art project. It just happened to be the latter.

It’s a cool effect particularly for those who always wanted to experience a black hole without the whole ‘being crushed to a quantum singularity’ end result.

P-ISM : A Pen-style Personal Networking Gadget Package, basically its a Palm Pilot in a pen. It has some pretty neat features though: a pen-style cellular phone with a handwriting data input function, virtual keyboard, a very small projector, camera scanner, and personal ID key with cashless pass function.

The best part of them all is that they are all connected with one another through short-range wireless technology. The whole set is also connected to the Internet through the cellular phone function. This personal gadget in a minimalistic pen style "enables the ultimate ubiquitous computing".

Personally, I wouldn’t buy it, but what i think has real promise is the keyboard, although my fingers would get super tough from typing on the hard floor or table all day, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Fingers of steel? I’ll take it!

Until next time…
