Generation NEX: Ultra-Slim NES
It’s amazing that people are still playing the original NES, released 20 years ago. I still have a collection of at least 50 games gathering dust somewhere.
Some creative individuals have created a slim NES that’s 1.5″ thick, and has built-in support for wireless controllers. It will play all those NES cartridges that you haven’t sold for $3 (right?). You can get your own for $59.99, which, coincidentally, is the new lowered price for a Nintendo Gamecube with 2 games and 2 controllers.

Beastly Japanese Phone Watch (Gizmodo)
This was just too damn retro-cool to pass up… I just love Japanese gadgets that are completely impractical and useless!

The Teastick
This is a great little gizmo for making a singal cup of tea using loose tea leaves. There’s a scoop inside that comes out. You scoop an amound of tea leaves, pull the scoop back into the cylinder with holes, and stick the whole thing in a glass of hot water.
I may have to get one despite the expense ($25 + $5 S/H).
Rocket-Powered Car (Engadget)
Some stuck a couple of jet engines in the back of a Toyota MR2. I guess it can go very fast…
The best comment in the Engadget posting is the first one: “Is it street legal?”
Talk (in) to the Hand!
I knew that it would only be a matter of time until we could talk into our hands. Check out the bluetooth hand(?)-set.

NES DVD Player
Some enterprising person hacked their trusty old NES and stuck a working DVD player in there. The NES power button works, and the lid pops open when the tray is ejected. Muy cool!
