(via Book of Joe, who has a cat that walks on a treadmill so maybe he knows whereof he speaks with these things): Cats are a problem. I mean I love my cat, don’t get me wrong, but sometimes she doesn’t want to do what I tell her. Which is where the Control A Cat remote control comes in!

Yes you can buy the Control A Cat at Perpetual Kid for only $9.99!

From the product description –
Operating Instructions:

• Point remote at subject
• Push any button on the remote
• Hope for the best

No batteries required… powered by positive thinking!

And that sounds about right to me. So yeah, a gag remote for the cat. And yet it tempts me so. Let’s get a blown up pic of it, shall we?

There we are. I think the eject logo on the Fur Ball button is fantastic. I just love the idea. The same company makes Control A Dog and Control A Boss models but let’s be honest here. You can train a dog or a boss. A cat is a different matter and I think it is about time fake technology stepped in to make it (not at all) easier!

(They also have Drumstick pencils that I really kinda want but in no way need.)

Target is selling this Darth Vader USB hub for 45 bucks. It is supposedly a “Japanese collectable.” Yeah, whatever – it’s a 45 dollar USB HUB! Freaks.

—————————

Meanwhile, Amazon is selling this Belkin Mini Surge Protector Dual USB Charger for under 20 bucks. How cool is that thing? Adds a few outlets and can charge USB devices? That’s sweet.

—————————

Yeah for right this second that’s all I got. Sorry a bunch of work and then I am off work early and on vacation for two weeks. So today is a bit dicey for lots of posting.

Which will, I am sure, mean I post a TON today somehow.

Want to support a horrible and selfish cause? Of course you do.
————————————-
So Google is launching Chrome, it’s own browser today. Here is the comic they made explaining the thing. Google has its own browser now? I can’t say I care, as of yet. I might later.
————————————-

Just found a pic of a great gag toy for kids of all ages. No. Really. Not rascist at all. Nope. Nuh uh.

Best part? “Made in Hong Kong”.

Why is this not safe for work? Well, to start there’s the implied male rape. And then the doll. And… it is glorious.

So today I was discussing OS’ with a friend and came to WindowsME. My take was as follows:

I had to support it. My mom ended up with WindowsME for a year or so. It was like… having sex, with a camel, while wearing a tutu that didn’t fit and then wrapping yourself in rubber until you couldn’t breathe. WHAT WAS THE POINT OF THE CAMEL? That’s what I wanna know.

———————————-

Still not writing. Wrist is too off its game to give in. Which sucks, because I am working on a novel so geektastic, so fantastic and so “other things that are -tastic” I can hardly stand to not share it with everyone I talk to.

———————————-

And finally, saw this s an icon, need to make note of it here.

Hitler knows a good groove when he hears one.

I will not be around during the day next week as I have Jury Duty. Sorry about that. It isn’t that I mind doing my civic duty, I don’t, but I am just not in the mood and don’t have time and argh!

———————————

I have been playing Mario Kart on the Wii, over at Hammerpants’ place. I do not own a Wii, so I must go to other places to enjoy it. The character I am the best with? Princess. On her normal dirt bike. Which says something I am sure. Also I have noticed that the outfit she wears looks kinda like she’s a member of Voltron.

I noticed this and pointed it out. At which point I decided that she forms the appendix. We’re sorry, Princess, but your purpose in life is in another castle…

———————————

I spent a bunch of time last night fixing Trista’s computer last night. Brought it back to life. So if you see her on the intardwebs it is, officially now, my fault. Not that whatever she does is my fault, oh no she doesn’t get a big blank check like that.

———————————

And then there is today’s XKCD which is so sadly true.

———————————

More later when I can think.

Here is a site that is simply a collection of bad Spock drawings.

Toilets of the World is a book by Morna E. Gregory and Sian James. It’s a travel guide and, I suppose resource for people who want to know what toilets in other places are like.
————
Here is a video compilation of 231 fatalities from various Mortal Kombat games. Why? Because it’s kinda funny.

————

Best item on Think Geek yet? It’s an Invincible Star from Mario. Touch it and it plays the invincible music for 17 seconds. After which you are once again only mortal. I… I need one.
————
I leave you with one of the best ideas I’ve seen in a while. I need to do this. So do you:

Yes, 950,000 volt “Blast Knuckles”. On sale for only $79.97 if you act now. I think I need a pair. Maybe two. Just for the fun of it. They’re like clown buzzers, for the fucked up.

Of course please note:

Stun Guns are currently legal but with restrictions in the following areas:
State: CT, FL, IN, NC, ND, OH and WA.

Stun Guns are prohibited in the following areas:
State: DC, HI, IL, MA, MI, NJ, NY, RI and WI.
City: Annapolis, Baltimore and Philadelphia.
County: Howard County, MD.

So no Batman electro-knuckles for me. I am sad now.
