Hasta La Gadget!

Go figure that this isn’t actually the first time we’ve featured a Pokémon bra here on Technabob, but this is most definitely the sparkliest Pokémon bra we’ve had on the site. And since you guys probably can’t resist a good pair of Pokéballs Pokéboobs, now’s as good a time as any to feature this sexy/geeky underthing.

This shimmering Pokémon bra was made by Claire of Neon Wonderland, and is covered in literally hundreds of colorful rhinestones. They’re available in any cup size and padding level you’d like – but only the basic Poké Ball design. Maybe if you’re nice to Claire, you can convince her to make a Sport Ball sports bra. They sell for $70(USD) over on Etsy.

Got a problem with the world? Have a bone to pick with everything and everyone these days? Hate the rain or the sweltering heat of the sun? Well, don’t waste your energy yelling at those who’ve offended you or cursing about the weather. Instead, just give everyone and whatever’s bothering you the finger without actually having to lift a finger with this umbrella.

Because as you can see, it does all the not-so-heavy-lifting for you. All you’ve got to do is tilt the umbrella in the direction of your intended recipient. You might get some disapproving stares and even some dirty looks while you strut around town with this offensive umbrella in tow, but hey, there’s a whole lot of other things that are more offensive than this umbrella.

The Up Yours Umbrella is available for £23.99 (~$39 USD) at Firebox.

Confession: I’m wary of sharing anything related to Star Trek because I barely know anything about the franchise. It’s a franchise right? Right. But I do know that I’d rather wear a Worf hoodie instead of a Chewbacca hoodie. Notice how those two sound like they were named after dogs? Notice how I changed the subject because I didn’t have anything else to say?

Oh I know! If Worf ever needs to go under cover or keep a low profile, he can wear this hoodie so he can blend in. The hood will hide the ridges on his head. Oh wait.

Forgive me Warries Trekkies. You can order a Worf hoodie for $95 (USD) from Etsy seller Ewoks in Tutus. What? I did not make that up. I swear! Click the link!

Master modder Ben Heck recently finished a Holiday hack that could help the young ones stay behaved. I say could because as we all know how utterly wild these creatures known as “children” can be. But if your little loved ones are still spellbound by the concept of Santa, they could be controlled with Ben Heck’s Naughty or Nice Meter.

In keeping with the Holiday theme, the gadget is officially named Self-Aware Niceness Tester, Analog or S.A.N.T.A. for short. The idea is to have a meter that can magically update in real time to show kids how naughty or nice they’re being. Even though the meter itself is fairly large, the box only contains a TI Launchpad microcontroller, a Bluetooth module and a servo that moves the needle.

The magic happens in the companion mobile app, which was made by Ben Heck’s buddy Jesse Robinson. The app’s interface looks exactly like the dial of the meter; touch a spot on the app and the meter moves accordingly. You can see it in action over on episode 39 of The Engadget Show, which also contains a bit of trivia about and lots of useful tips from Ben Heck.

It’s a naughty way of keeping the peace at home, although knowing how savvy kids are with gadgets, I’m pretty sure this won’t work for long.

Only one thing in the world could’ve dragged me away from the soft glow of electric sex gleaming in the window. And that’s the soft glow of electric robot sex gleaming in the window. Okay, R2-D2 isn’t that hot, but did you get a load of C-3PO’s gams? Not bad – for a golden robot.

This genius work of geeky craft was created by Gordon Tarpley as a combined celebration of both Star Wars and A Christmas Story. It looks like what might happen to R2 and 3PO after the Jawas had their way with them. He better not let his wife see him ogling it or she might knock it over and use up all the glue on purpose.

Who knew that they celebrated Christmas a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away?
