*Kano Computer Kit $149.99 from Amazon. is really, really cool. We read today that you’re not supposed to use the word really, because it’s dumb and you can say things more creatively and effectively using alternate words, but, really, this is just really, really cool. Take that article we read.

Originally funded on Kickstarter, this is a computer and coding kit for all ages, all over the world. The kit contains: Raspberry Pi 2 Model B, ARM 900MHz Quad-Core CPU and 1GB RAM, 8GB micro-SD Card preloaded with the latest Kano OS full of projects and games, Kano books, illustrated and intuitive, Wireless Kano Keyboard and mouse (USB RF & Bluetooth), DIY speaker, Custom case, stencils and stickers!, HDMI cable, Wifi dongle and Mini-USB power supply.

* Interested in Robotics? Did you get a really big bonus this year? Why not get the International research robot?  This little guy is CRAZY y’all. A 2′-tall robot that responds to over 500 voice commands across 19 languages, he’s the product of eight years of development from a global, open-source community of programmers.

 

He can pick up and hold objects with its hands, walk across multiple floor surfaces, and scratch his head when puzzled. Two built-in camera sensors learn to identify items, obstacles, and faces, while the directional microphones recognize human speech and allow it to respond from an internal speaker. Surface-mounted tactile sensors respond to touches like a pat on the head, while infrared emitters turn on appliances remotely at its owner’s command. Wot. $7900.

There you have it. Now you just gotta choose which homey or homiette deserves which present this year. May we suggest that your iPhone recycling company iPhone Antidote deserves an International research robot? No? What about some stinky phones? Yes please! We’d love some stinky old iPhones for Christmas! And we’ll give you Cash! Merry Christmas indeed.

 

If you know of any other products you think peeps need to know about for their Christmas list, let us know!!

 

30 days and counting… Be nice everyone! Santa’s watching! (So are your family & friends…)

 

 

 

 

 

The really really expensive Christmas Gift Guide (just for fun)

 

 

Welcome to our version of what would you buy if someone gave you $20,000,000 and told you you had to spend it, in a store ( online or real) in 10 minutes.

 

Because we like to think realistically, right?

 

That’s what we thought.

 

So just in case this happens to you, we thought we should make sure you’re prepared!

 

OR if you’re reading this and you are wealthy enough to buy these things for people for Christmas, well, think of this as a perfectly tailored iPhone Antidote Christmas Gift Guide. And can we be your friend?

 

Here’s some of the most outrageous tech things you can buy on the planet. Some of them are less tech, more just cool. We had to share.

 

Enjoy (and, um, you might want to get a tissue for that drool.)

 

 

 

The Flying Car.

 

 

 

 

How else would you get around? A limo? A Bentley? Please.  Reserve one now! 

 

 

 

The Aquaflyer.

 

 

The Flying car of the sea! And a must have, because oh gosh how much fun does this look. Enough fun that it makes you say things like Oh Gosh.

Check it out. $9,999.

 

 

 

 

Your own Private Island. Obviously.

 

 

 

Everyone who is rich and cool has their own private island. Not everyone who is rich has one ( you hear that Kanye?). There’s a bunch you can buy, varying in price from $27613.98 to P.O.A ( Think over 2 Million. At least.)  Check them out here. 

 

 

But then you have the age old question: what would you take to a private island?

 

Uh… How about a hot tub boat?

 

Done! The Hot Tub Boat.

 

It’s a boat AND a Hot Tub. It’s settled then. Check it out here.

 

 

 

Get an Aquarium

 

You can get it to surround your TV or back your home bar. Or YOUR BED COULD BE AN AQUARIUM! That would be so neat, and then you own an entire underwater world. You can call your fish your minions.

 

 

 

 

 The 1959 Corvette Billiards Table for $25,000

 

 

Because it’s pretty. And shiny and red and it’s a pool table. Need we say more? We didn’t think so.

 

 

 

 

Why not buy a submarine?

 

Because of all the fishes you can wave to! Think of all the new friends you can make! Like whales! What nice guys those whales are.

$2,000,000.  Check it out here. 

 

 

 

 

How about an Interactive Pool Table System? Not sure what exactly that is? It’s this:

 

 

 

Transform any pool table into a digitally-enhanced video experience. Apparently seen a lot in Vegas, so you know you should have one. Actually, you know you should have a whole pool table room.

P.O.A. Check it out here. 

 

 

 

 

Hart Audio “D&W Aural Pleasure”

Loudspeakers Cast in Bronze, Silver & 18ct Gold. Awesome speakers. Like, really awesome, and covered in precious metals, which is actually how we would like to have everything in our house one day.

 

Bargain price, really, starting at only $65,308.00 for the bronze. Check them out here. 

 

 

 

 

The Dry Water Jet Massager.

It’s like this fancy pod thing that you get into and there’s..dry water? that massages you. It’s like you’re a rapper but the girls are a fancy pod thingy with fake water.  We’re not sure we explained that right, so you should probably just check it out here. It’s $36,000.

 

 

 

 

How about a…. Bewjewled Anti-Aging Human Regenerator?

 

Wha?

 

Yes. This.

 

This machine was on display at the world luxury Expo recently. It’s a blinged out ( think 6880 carats and 172,000 diamonds), human sized machine that a company called System 4 Technologies GmbH made to treat that awful malaise called aging.

 

The machine apparently slows aging using pulses and frequencies that treat silicon and aluminum deposits in the body’s skin.

 

AND it’s only $9.8 million dollars! Check it out!

 

 

 

And finally, a smiling gold plated Christmas kitten drinking some star infused milk.

 

 

Happy Holidays!
