GP ReCyko+Batteries
Juniper Foo | Apr 26, 2007
GP has a battery of reasons you should consider its latest breed of power cells. Besides being, of course, rechargeable, it's powering on with its go green objective with the more efficient GP ReCyko+. This not only tries to be like conventional alkaline batteries, since there's no need to charge the batteries before initial use due to the exceptionally low self-discharge rate, GP claims that left unused for 12 months, this will retain about 85 percent of its power capacity. If you can get past the daunting upfront charges and do your bid for the planet, we say more power to you.

Casio MRG-7500 G-Shock
Juniper Foo | Apr 24, 2007
Used to be when some of us were suckers for G-Shock watches, before Swatch stole its thunder as the timepiece to collect. To each its time. Though G-Shock watches have lost their Baby-G charm, Casio's hardy series still continues to tough it out in the rugged category. Its latest, The MRG-7500, claims to be its toughest model to date, encased in a shock-resistent metal housing and a virtually unbreakable sapphire glass. What's cool? Besides a plethora of bells and whistles, it recharges itself on solar power, so no need to worry about a battery meltdown. What's not cool? This oughta be renamed S-Shock, for sticker shock.

Puzzle Alarm Clock
Juniper Foo | Apr 23, 2007
Yet more wacky clocks. Even we won't wish this on our worst enemy. This one wakes you up by upchucking four puzzle pieces into the air. And if your brain wasn't scambled enough, you have to locate and put those pieces back in the alarm clock. That is if you want to shut that incessant alarm up. Of course, by the time you've learned to assemble this in your sleep, version two would be out with 50 exploding pieces. Here's an idea: Pairing the Puzzle Alarm Clock with the hide-and-seek Clocky. Nasty!

Spi-Dog special edition for Spider-Man 3
Juniper Foo | Apr 20, 2007
Ok, this looks downright menacing. The original iPod-friendly iDog was a lovable mutt that jived to music and responded to pats. Being in Asia, our spider sense tells us it won't be long before this Hasbro toy inspires copycats, er, dogs in this enterprising part of the world. That said, one wonders if Spi-Dog will also be released soon in that cool black-suited version of Spidey's. Here, doggie, doggie.

Blood Puddle Pillow
Juniper Foo | Apr 19, 2007
It's past April Fool's, but this wacky blog site has a CSI-meets-South Park take on crime scenes--a blood puddle pillow. Looks realistic enough to fool a pooch into the whole joke thing. Two words: Bloody awful fun. Well, three words. (photo credit: FromKeetra.com)
