Hasta La Gadget!

What helps you get out from bed in the mornings? Does it have anything to do with that pet dog of you who slobbers all over your face, signalling that it is time to roll out of bed and be ready to meet a brand new day? Well, most folks would prefer the use of an alarm clock, even better yet is if the alarm clock itself comes with a built-in Snooze function. For video game fans who have a strong love for Tetris, then you can wake up feeling like a kid all over again to the $29.99 Tetris Animated Alarm Clock.

The alarm sound will not be that of an incessant cockerel exercising its throat, and neither will it be the irritating ring of the classic bell alarm clock, but rather, it will play back the classic Tetris theme song. Individual minutes are formed from water falling Tetriminos, and you can literally spend watching your minutes ticking by. Sporting 12/24 hour clock options, it will be updated with modern functions like snooze and a backlit display, carrying a trio of AA batteries with Tetriminos-shaped buttons up front.

When you first watched Jaws during your wee years, were you scared stiff of swimming in unchartered waters? After all, with the haunting soundtrack in the background, not to mention the ferocious killing machine that sharks are made out to be on the TV, what’s worse than a shark which is hungry for flesh – human flesh in particular? Why, zombie sharks take the cake, as they aren’t only after that chunk of meat on your thigh, but are gunning for your brains as well.

The $39.99 Zombie Shark Air Swimmer R/C is a funny, light hearted and zombified take on the classic Shark Air Swimmer R/C. It is on the hunt for human brains, and will be made from the same durable, high-quality nylon material that allows it to remain inflated for weeks on end. Some of the remote functions include the ability to climb, descend, and tail fin control for turning. The infra-red remote should be able to help get the job done from afar, where a quartet of AAA batteries keep it going instead of fresh brains. Keep this “pet” indoors and you should be fine.

What happens when your little one pesters you for a pet? You know the long and winding road that you and the missus are about to head down. For starters, the puppy or kitten will be given all sorts of love at the beginning, but after a while, your kid will begin to pay more attention to the Nintendo Wii U or Xbox 360, neglecting to feed that now grown up dog or cat, in addition to taking it out for walks or bathing it. How about teaching responsibility on the digital front with the $29.99 Ubooly iPhone/iPod Interactive Pet instead?

The Ubooly iPhone/iPod Interactive Pet might bring back memories of Tamagotchies for some, except that these are far more intelligent and interactive. After all, they are able to relate stories to you, and even share some jokes around. Heck, if your kid is bored, the Ubooly iPhone/iPod Interactive Pet will also be able to play games. The thing is, if you happen to “loan” your handset to your kid for them to spend time with the Ubooly iPhone/iPod Interactive Pet, you might not get your phone back, ever, due to the advertised addictive nature of it. Each purchase of the Ubooly iPhone/iPod Interactive Pet comes with free monthly updates that are delivered automatically via Wi-Fi, where it will play nice with the iPhone 3GS, 4, 4s, 5, iPod touch 4G and iPod touch 5 devices.

Turn the lights out and light your candles. It’s Halloween in a matter of days and we all know that dark houses set the mood for a creepier atmosphere.

And what better candle could you possibly get for this ghoulish time of the year than this Bleeding Skull Candle from ThinkGeek?

The ‘bleeding’ part of its name isn’t just a name, because that’s what the candle actually does. Light it up and watch with horror as blood slowly pours out from one of its eye sockets.

The longer it burns, the more blood there will be.

It might be kind of difficult to clean up but it’s one of the funnest candles I’ve ever seen to date. Priced at $12.99(USD) It’s one of the many fun items you can find at ThinkGeek.

I would suppose that every one of us has an amount of geekery within – the only thing is, just what degree of a geek would that be? The thing about guys is, most of us would want to have our fair share of power tools to play with, and it is always nice to fantasize that we can be a MacGuyver to a damsel in distress out there from one time to another. If you have ever wished to carry a load of tools right in your pocket without having it look to sport an unsightly bulge, then chances are the $19.99 Get-A-Way Driver Pocket Tool would be just the ticket.

It is able to carry tons of functions on a small tool, and is great for around-the-house or on-the-go folks, sporting dozens of everyday uses. You can use it as a screwdriver with four standard flat and Phillips hex bits, and it also doubles up as an angle driver, not to mention being a push-button LED flashlight when you need to hunt down zombies in your basement, while opening up oxygen bottles when the need arises. Tipping the scales at under two ounces, if there is a portable tool you’ve ever wanted, this is it.
