Who knew the Postal Service was that cool?

You know I can' resist posting gems about Star Wars or the crazy stuff that comes from it.

This is another one of those less that practical applications of Star Wars imagery.

I'd also like to point out that R2D2 seems to be the most used icon when it comes to making stuff.

Make an R2-D2 mailbox out of paper

Almost as good as the electronic lawn-mowing robot dog

I think if I had some involved shopping task, I would try this out:

Robot babysitter keeps kids occupied in Japanese store

If it didn't threaten to crush my children, or maim them permanently, I would feel comfortable with letting technology keep an eye or cam on them.

The economic solution for your stun gun needs.

For the those of you with both a frugal and a paranoid personal safety side, this is the ideal solution for you: 950,000 volts in a 'Runt'

I don't personally jog alone, at night, in dangerous places, but if I did, you can bet I have one of these little bad boys with me.

To give you and idea the amount of power you'll be packing, the average police grade Taser packs a 50,000 volts.

So rest assured your potential attacker will be nicely incapacitated.

High tech and it's increasing role in our lives...

I came across this article and realized that there are a million uses for our everyday technology that we haven't even begun to tap into.

Why don't we live in a constant state of MacGyver-ness?  Is the everyday ballpoint pen being used to its fullest potential? Are you sure you can use your shoe laces as some sort of grocery carrying device?

I think we short change ourselves when forget that the items we use everyday can transform into something extraordinary.

The guy in this article does: http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/18/german-trucker-uses-mobile-as-ear-warmer-court-believes-it/

Time in a bottle...or etch-a-sketch...whatever...

This is probably the best use of free time I've seen in a while.

If this guy could make the electronics a little smaller and refined, I'd try to talk my wife into buying one.

Etch A Sketch clock automatically draws, redraws time

For those of you who know me well, you know that I have dreamed of one day owning an electronic, lawn-mowing dog. Nay I even daresay that I've prayed for one.

For 2 reasons:

First, how cool would that be? No muss, no fuss and a great looking lawn all the time.

Second, how cool would that be?!!!

My dream will come to fruition. The next step towards that dream has arrived.

Here's the latest: Husqvarna introduces pricey solar powered Automower

If only I had the disposable cash to make this wish a reality.

This article is pretty funny: Thai monks told to behave on networking Web sites

I'm not sure if being a monk is like being a priest, but I would venture to guess that similar rules apply.

It also begs this question: If a monk could do that sort of thing, where would he take his date?

Lately, I've been trying to get in shape-ish. I've been exercising and trying to eat reasonably.

I've come across this "exer-cycle": 'HyperBike': Godzilla on two wheels

I can only believe that this would work if it made you want to get out of the public eye faster. I suppose it's possible to burn calories out of embarrassment.
