I’m pretty sure this item was created when the Tardis was whisked away to an alternate universe. The doctor tried to course correct by hitting the main console with a hammer, which had the strange effect of reversing the Tardis’ inside with the Tardis’ outside. So what you were left with was the icy cold and blackness of space inside the tardis, while the universe outside was now the Tardis interior.

Weird. I forget how they got out of that one, but what I can tell you is that this Tardis Ice Bucket is perfect to have on hand while serving ice cold drinks and trying to get Rose Tyler drunk. It only costs £17.99. Brilliant!

For those who believe that they can only get an effective workout outdoors, here’s something that will trick you into getting in shape without hitting the front door. What we have here is basically a fancy treadmill with a curved VR display on top.

It’s a great distraction from your workout, but imagine the video game possibilities. You could actually run around while fragging people. Better yet, jog around the halls of the Starship enterprise or on Mars. Doctor Who fans could pretend that they are being chased by Daleks. Oh yes. It has the potential to get everyone exercising. Especially nerds. At last nerds will be fit and rule the world.

Here’s a merry-go-round with pods on the bottom for coma patients. The idea is that you spin them around real fast and hopefully they wake up. No…I kid. The idea here is that we can recover lost smells that no longer exist due to our changing environment.

In that sense, it’s probably the closest we are likely to come to a real time machine. At least until Doctor Who shows up. You would experience a kind of community based immersion in the capsule, and as we all know smells are linked very heavily with memory. So just like that you’re time travelling. Hopefully not to a point in history that smells really foul. It’s a concept for now so, smell ya later.

Sometimes the coolest gadgets in Sci-Fi are not gadgets at all. But robots. Here’s a look at some of the most memorable robots from sci-fi in no particular order. It’s not a complete list. Think of it more as a walk down memory lane. Because geeks love Sci-Fi and Sci-Fi has a long history of loving robots.

Kittiwat Unarrom has a master’s degree in fine arts and enjoys making body parts out of bread at a bakery in Thailand. Very realistic and disturbing body parts. They’re made out of dough, raisins, cashews and chocolate. He even paints the outside with edible paint to give it an even more gruesome appearance.

What do I think about it? I’m still trying to figure out why these bread heads look like Sontarans.(A popular Doctor Who villian as any geek knows) They’re horrible. And it doesn’t help that those aluminum plates look like collars. If these things come to life and take over the world, I just wanted you to see who your new masters were.

Any fan of Doctor Who knows that the Sonic Screwdriver can open all kinds of locks and it acts as a screwdriver, wrench and all around locksmith. Now you can have your own. It might not do everything it does on the show, but it works as a hidden ultraviolet pen with a special UV light.

You’ll be able to scribble secret messages which can only then be revealed using the sonic screwdriver. It also features sound effects you know, for your geek play time when you want to pretend. It also includes a spare standard ink nib and a wipe on wipe off psychic note pad. The Sonic Screwdriver retails for £9.99. It won’t get you a pretty companion to travel space and time with.

Here’s an awesome replica of Doctor Who’s Tardis. This one won’t time travel and it’s not bigger on the inside then on the outside. But it does have retro gaming which is kind of like time travel. It was designed and built by ubergeek Simon Jansen. Jansen had a spare computer sitting around, a love for Doctor Who and a whole lot of time on his hands.

The Tardis has a computer inside, with arcade-style controls. The light on top of the TARDIS even lights up. If you want to build your own, Jansen provided step-by-step instructions so anyone can do it. Geeks the world over salute you sir.

I wish I had known about this one before Christmas. I would have put it under the tree for myself. He would be a great companion to the Dalek Web-cam or K-9 remote controlled dog. As any Doctor Who fan knows, Daleks are out to destroy all life in the universe and generally hover around saying “Exterminate. Exterminate.”, before firing lasers at you and sending you to the great beyond, despite the fact that their arms are basically an egg whisk and a sink plunger.

This remote controlled Dalek is a foot and a half tall and able to track moving objects. Plus, you can direct him by radio control. The best part is that he responds to over 30 voice commands. He comes loaded with sound, movement and heat sensors, a bunch of sound and light effects, and his memory stores over 50 Dalek phrases. He’ll cost you about $180 but when you consider that this is probably the best R/C dalek ever, that’s a fair price.

K-9 The ultimate robot dog companion. Maybe it’s just me, but I have always had a special place in my heart for K-9. There have been many a robot dog to come onto the market, but none are nearly as cool as K-9. And he was built in the late 70′s.

You can now own this 1/4 Scale replica of the Doctor Who robot dog. He can speak 7 different phrases, has an extendable Nose Blaster(Which has blaster firing sound effects), a removable side panel as well as lights in side panel and on back. His ears even wiggle when he moves and of course his eye unit lights up. As far as batteries, he uses 4 AA and a 9V. Check out a neat video of K-9 in action here, kicking the butts of some evil R/C Dalek robots.

This is the perfect accessory for any Doctor fan. Robot fans in general will appreciate this new Dalek with a webcam inside. This has got to be one of the coolest webcams ever. Aside from being bent on robot domination, this Dalek is also plug and play, with LEDs that let you know when it gets powered on. Just open the lens door to expose it’s hidden watching eye. A built in microphone allows you to send sound along with your video. You know, in case he creeps you out and you need to call for help.

Here are the specs:

Resolution: 640 x 480 (30 fps)
Dimensions: approx. 3.33″ tall
Features: Hinged lens cover, microphone, LED power on indicators, removable monitor clip, USB/microphone cable (approx. 55″ long), Plug and Play Includes:Removable Monitor Clip and Drivers disc (Windows only)

Hours of coding or playing EverQuest and lack of exercise commonly go hand in hand to promote growth of the waistline of sedentary computer users (like myself). This can usually lead to bad health problems down the road with various parts of your body such as your ticker. Designer Kawok Lau thinks the answer to salvation might lie in your mouse.

That’s right – your computer mouse. Lau has cooked up what is being called the Heartbeat Indicator Mouse. This regular, wireless mouse activates when a person goes to use it by calling upon built-in sensors below …
