Technically it’s not a Pac-Man ghost, but we’re calling close enough on this Japanese pen that features a built-in ghost stamp.
From the product page:
The design updates the ancient tradition of hanko (a personal seal used for official documents) by combining it with a modern ergonomic writing instrument. Conceived by the renowned Naoto Fukasawa for Shachihata, the world’s leading stamp producer, the pen is brilliantly lacquered, flawlessly detailed, and perfectly balanced.

How easily will Pac-Man and Blinky get accustomed to life without a controller guiding their movements? My guess is that they’ll have a hell of a time catching each other, or even moving in the same direction.

If you thought the original Pac-Man was retro, get a load of the Pactuator. The creator hopes to expand on the concept to create an entire working game called Pac Machina.
I call it the Pactuator. I kind of fell in love with the little guy, but it’s going to be a (long) while before the game is ready. In the meantime I wanted a nice way to display and play with it (and keep myself inspired to finish the full project). To that end, I drew up a feeble pastiche of a Victorian frame with a Pac-Man motif, laser engraved it in some wood, and made a little display, complete with a hand-crank.

This Pac-Man light installation from artists Benedetto Bufalino and Benedict Deseille was part of the recent Festival of Trees and Lights in Geneva, Switzerland.
I think we need something like this to replace stop lights.
