The robots are taking over, which in this case is a good thing because I can't get anyone to rub my back. The girl in the photo however, should have no need for this robotic massager, she probably has guys lined up to cop a feel provide a massage. The WheeMe Massage Robot by DreamBots […]

Jack In The Box Kiosk Automated Food Ordering
We recently visited a Jack In The Box restaurant for some healthy food (snicker). I did order the chicken teriyaki bowl, which I believe is one of the few healthier options. Either way, we happened to notice an ATM looking machine which is used for ordering food without having to talk to a human. Not […]

Weta Legs
If you want to walk like a goat, duh who doesn't, you will want to spring for a set of Weta Legs ($945). Amazing, but unless you work at a theme park (as a goat) I just don't get it.
Remote Control Excavator Despe EC280MG
Before you assume, like I did, that this is a cheap plastic RC excavator, read on. The 1:14.5 scale RC Despe EC280MG weighs a full 62 pounds of solid steel.
