Anyone who has ever played Tetris and become totally absorbed in the experience knows that when you stop playing, those shapes can be seen in your mind’s eye for some time afterward. You can either quit cold turkey, or you can find a convenient way to play even more when there is no game console in front of you.

That’s where the Tetris watch comes in. It is Tetris in watch form and will keep any Tetris fanatic happily addicted when they should be getting work done. Why they even bother to put the time on, I have no idea. Time means nothing when you are in Tetris-land.

Finally the bartender won’t care when James Bond walks up to the bar all suave and delivers his classic line, “Shaken not stirred”. The bartender will just mix the ingredients and put them in this machine, while Bond waits. This cocktail serving machine is called “The Perfect Temperature Martini Maker” and is billed as a digital appliance that can shake or stir its stainless steel tumbler “until it reaches the optimal drinking temperature of 34 degrees Fahrenheit, ensuring perfect homemade martinis at the touch of a button.”

It’s still up to the human to mix the ingredients, so if anything does go wrong, you are solely to blame. The 20-oz. shaker gives you enough room to make two martinis.

Most desktop chargers suffer from a case of severe ugliness. That’s where this one differs, with a brilliant endearing design by Sun Kyung Kim. It simulates the visual experience of ripples within a bird bath. Sun’s thinking is that humans like to have visual indicators for all things, mobile devices are no exception. Most chargers do not give you any visual indication of charge status, whereas this one will show you radiating rings of light that the indicate the charge status. To top it off, the thirsty birds on the edge glow once the rings of light reach them.

No word yet on when it might be available or pricing, assuming that it ever gets manufactured.

This is one of the neater iPod docks that I have seen. The Vestalife ladybug iPod dock is not just another boring place to park your iPod. It has a digital amplifier, built-in-subwoofer for extra bass, and a cool remote that resembles an iPod. It comes in a nice shiny red or gray finish and yes it resembles a ladybug. Especially when open. When closed it just plain looks cool. This is an iPod dock that’s all about style.

Of course, it also charges the iPod and can run on AC or battery. Another plus is the USB port that has been integrated to sync your iPod when it sits in the speaker.

We all love R2-D2, but this may be taking things to the extreme. For those who love the little droid too much and at the same time have an unhealthy obsession with Soy Sauce, the two have been combined. Just pour your soy sauce into R2(The liquid kind, not the sorta liquid kind), pop R2′s head back on and start pouring sauce from the little bot.

Seriously, did you ever think you would see the day when soy sauce pours forth from a droid head? I’m actually kinda disturbed, but I know some of you will find it cool. But wait, it gets better…

Environmental groups have been all over the iPod due to it’s eco-unfriendliness to the environment. The Eco Media player may not be an iPod killer, but it should make the environmentalists a bit happier. The device is a video player, music player, fm radio, LED torch, photo viewer, hi-fi recorder, memo recorder, data storage device and a mobile phone charger. So how is this eco-friendly with all of these functions? Simple. It has no need for replacement batteries.

You wind it via a fold-out handle on the rear. (Or if you don’t care about baby seals and Polar bears, you can charge it via a USB cable to your computer). 40 minutes of audio play requires only one minute of self powering.

Music and robotics have had a strange relationship. I have seen bands with robot singers, robots playing instruments and more. Now Gibson is taking robotics and applying them to the guitar. Thanks to integrated electronics and motorized mechanics, this instrument can automatically tune itself in various configurations.

This is big news for performers. With something like this they only need to carry one guitar with them instead of several differently-tuned instruments. They plan a limited first run, only available in select stores.

Whether you need to improve your golf game or just plain learn the art, the DiXX Digital Putter will drastically improve your putting skills. That’s because it uses an onboard PDA-like computer to monitor your swing. The “inertial navigation system” keeps track of when and where the putter hits the ball, along with a “micro electrical mechanical system” that monitors the motion of your swing. With that information, the the putter can figure out how good your putt was, so it can provide feedback in 5 areas. DiXX tracks the swing path, impact position, face angle, swing tempo and speed balance.

You don’t even need to remove the computer from the putter to navigate the computer menu system. Just twist your wrist.

Before you get overly excited, this kinetic clock in all it’s beautifully designed goodness, will not send you back and forth in time. It will look great in your home and at the same time spice up the now boring art of telling time. Plus, you get the added benefit of hearing your friends tell you how cool it looks. If you are looking for that piece of unusual art to jazz up a room, this may be it.

It uses it’s many ball bearings to tell time by filling each of its marked scoops, minutes, then fives, and finally the hour. The ball bearing overflow drops to the next level. Simply count them and you have the time. Seconds are displayed on the dial on top.

The Green Machine 2 looks like a Big Wheel on steroids. It sure doesn’t resemble that old Big Wheel that I rode around in as a kid. It’s got a sleek design and can be controlled with dual joysticks. It even has rear wheel steering and a 20″ front tire, along with a front wheel hand brake.

Of course just like it’s ancestors, this one is completely dependant on kid pedal power. I wish mine had been this cool. Mine certainly didn’t have a High tension steel frame, or a real rubber front tire. I guess as long as you can still peel out on these things it’s all good.

This great looking and versatile robot watch serves a double duty as both a watch and a desk clock. Just remove him from the wristband and stand him up. That’s not all he does. It can also be used as a keychain time piece and even a necklace pendant. That’s alot of uses for one little robot. The arms are fully posable as well as his headgear. I think the best part about him is that he looks cool with the clock on his chest.

How much would you pay for this much coolness in one robot? You can get it for a surprising $40. Comes in Silver and Gold tone as well as a pewter color. All look equally nice.

If you walk around feeling groggy and out of it all day, it may be because you are waking up right in the middle of your deepest sleep cycle. This also leads to grumpiness. It is far more ideal to wake up in one of your light sleep cycles, fully refreshed. That’s the idea behind the Natural Sleep Cycle watch.

It uses an accelerometer to keep track of small physiological changes that occur when you are experiencing light sleep. Then it wakes you when the moment is right. I hear you, you have a tight schedule and can’t be late for work. No worries. You can specify how long before your alarm it should start it’s calculations for the best time, from 10 to 90 minutes before.

Sometimes you may want to keep your surfing on the down-low. There are any number of legitimate reasons for this. Maybe you think that it’s best if your co-workers don’t find out about your trips to the Barbie Doll website. Totally understandable.

Stealth Surfer is here to help. It plugs directly into your USB drive, armed with Tor Network Security, which has an IP masker. It also includes Firefox and Thunderbird, as well as Roboform. Plus a four-year subscription to Hushmail.

You know those cable stations peppered around the globe where they have a stripping newswomen? Well, this is the digital weather version. A weather girl strips piece by piece to tell you the time, temperature and the humidity. Ok, she doesn’t really strip in the traditional sense. She changes her clothes depending on the weather. What a tease!(Both her and the manufacturer.)

If it’s hot enough, she’ll get down to just her bikini. No word on how she bundles up during the winter. The winter months would obviously be very un-stimulating for any guy that happens to be turned on by this digital diva.

I’ve seen alot of cool robot toys and desk accessories over the years. I have to admit, I have never seen the combination of robot and snowman. It pleases me.

Not only is this robot bent on taking over the human race, it apparently has the winter season in mind for it’s objective. It’s got articulated arms and an eye scanner like a cylon from Battlestar Galactica, which can change color. You can also control the speed of the scanner with a knob. They say that it also has Authentic Snowbot Sound.
