Shoe Horn Garden Pot: Grows a useful gadget.
Crazy Monkey: Get your hands off this monkey’s banana.
Motion-Activated Traffic Light Dog Toy: Red means stop chewing on my stuff.
Flickin’ Chicken: It’s like horsehoes, but with chicken choking.
USB Cannon Speaker: Blasts out the music.
There are three sets of chopsticks in the samurai sword series—all named after actual 17th century Japanese Samurai (Date Masamune, Sanada Yukimura and Maeda Keiji). Remember, great responsibility comes with owning an instrument of this caliber. Should you drop even one roll, you must stab yourself with a chopstick to retain you honor.
Wouldn’t you love to wake up and greet a can of tuna first thing every morning? This alarm clock in a can lets you do exactly that and does not require any draining or mayonnaise to make it tastier.

Put these cute little guys to work cleaning your monitor with their dust pads, then savagely pop off their heads to brush all of the Cheetos crumbs hiding in the crevices of your keyboard. Action shots are available after the break.
Alessi’s “Birds & Clouds” Sushi set is an odd combination for a cool gift. I am not sure how clouds and birds fit in with sushi. But it shouldn’t really matter when you have a cloud for a plate, soy sauce bowl and chopstick holder. Nothing like a serene setting when eating raw animals. At least the silk placemat sounds authentic to it’s origins.

These Sushi shaped screen cleaners will help keep even the most fingerprint ridden iPhone display nice and clean. That having been said, I would like to thank the Japanese once again for their dedication to developing products that don’t make a damn bit of sense.

What better way to celebrate your love of raw fish than to add some Sushi Pillows to your room. The pillows from PixelGirlShop come in the following three varieties:
If nothing else these pillows will add some color to your mostly bland, tech inspired abode.
Seven companies, LG Electronics, Matsushita Electric Industrial, NEC, Samsung, Sony, Toshiba and SiBEAM are forming a consortium to develop a wireless system for transmitting HD content over short distances. The goal is to allow all the different devices in your home to connect to your display without having to run a bunch of cables. And if you are running High Definition with a DVD player, Satellite and/or Cable box and a game system or two, you know the tangle of wires you have to hide. Not only that, but with a planned range of 32 feet, you can get those signals to places that would have required cables to be run across things such as fireplaces that are in the way. The best piece of news is that there is no plan for using compression, so there should be no signal degradation or loss.
The technical specs are planned to be finalized by spring of 2007, with a product hoped to be out in 2008. Ideally, if all these companies come up with a resonably cheap, viable product the technology could eventually be built into the various devices. Until then, we will have to live with add on devices that will probably cost us an arm and a leg. Maybe they will at least be competitive with the cost of Monster cables.
