On Eggshells

23Feb07

I’ve never felt the need to have a bathroom scale, but if I did, I think I’d have to get one of these. It’s only natural: what do you stand on to gauge your weight? Eggs! You stand on eggs. Product Page [ViceVersa] (Via Gizmodo.)

Charmed

21Feb07

If I lived in Japan, I’d have a much cooler cell phone than I do here. Problem is, if I lived in Japan, I’d probably have to ruin the clean, sleek lines of my Japan-only sexyphone with some sort of dangling charm. But then I’d get to look at this little guy all day. Japan [...]

There appear to be none. If anything, the technical expertise [...]
