Google’s recycled wireless computer mice
Just when you think Google is finished branching out and taking over the world, comes another Google…something. In this case, it’s the Google mouse. They have a bright vivid look and these mice are recycled, so Google is already scoring some green points. And they’re wireless too. When you’re Google, your mouse has to be up to par and be at least wireless right?

They come with a WiFi dongle stored on-board and feature an 800dpi resolution. The material they are recycled from is plastic. They’re a tad loud and fugly for my taste, but hey to each his own search giant inspired mouse.

Four-way USB Hub…with a fish

Four-way USB Hub…with a fish
Sometimes it’s like they just combine stuff together and hope the end result is great. I can’t decide if this combo of fish and USB hub is proof of designers on drugs or brilliance.

But, if you are lacking a little fish friend in your life, maybe this one’s for you, fake fish and all. It’s even got a few shells, some greenery and real water. If that’s not enough, it illuminates, cycling through four different colors. It will only cost you $12 and there’s no danger at all of you killing it from lack of attention.

Craftsman CompuCarve will carve anything

Craftsman CompuCarve
Hey oldtimer. Whittling is now officially dead. The Craftman CompuCarve brings it into the 21st century, so put away that pocket knife and clean up your mess. This is a fully automatic carving machine, capable of carving most soft materials like woods and plastics. It’s all done with assorted carving bits, which are easy to change with QuickRout technology.

It also has a pretty cool memory card system so you can load your designs. So you won’t need to consult the old garage computer first. Just design a 3-dimensional project, load it onto the memory card and insert it into the machine. It walks you through the rest. It’s a bit pricey, but if you do this sort of work regularly I imagine it’s well worth it at $1,800.
