Jeopardy – Watson Supercomputer Competes With Humans
Unless you live in cave, you have most likely heard of the IBM Watson Supercomputer that competes against humans in Jeopardy. See how Watson did against PBS science correspondent Miles O’Brien and David Gondek on a Jeopardy round.
Jeremy Scott Flames Shoes
Another, not sure why I want this type of thing… the Jeremy Scott Flames Shoes sport some serious fire power. The shoes, and laces, go from yellow to orange and should help you in getting picked first at the next pickup basketball game. Yours for about $200 here.
Outward Hound Pet Carrier, Like Baby Bjorn For Your Dog
Whether you adopt a two year old blind Pomeranian (Shawna what were you thinking?) or have an elderly pooch who can’t take the longer walks… you might need a Doggie Bjorn. Well, technically it isn’t a Bjorn but it is just as cool. Who wouldn’t want to rock their smaller dog like a fanny pack? […]
Wenger 16999 Giant Swiss Army Knife
The Wenger 16999 Giant Swiss Army Knife is no joke. The Wenger 16999 has 87 implements that perform 141 functions. Granted, the knife is sooo big that it is more of a conversation piece than a useful tool. But… if I had to pick only one tool… this would be it. Read on for the […]

Darth Vader Boombox
Not sure I would call the Darth Vader CD Boombox a “boombox”… but it is still a pretty neat, and nerdy, conversation piece for your desk. Although Darth Vader didn’t have glowing red eyes like this radio/CD Player… I think he should have. You can plug in an additional music player if you want as […]
