Only furries could create something so ridiculously mundane that it completely circles around lameness and cycles back to being totally awesome again. This RFID-enabled Arduino-driven tail apparently reacts to different mood chips, wagging if your happy or excited, so on and so forth. The tail is also controllable with the Wii Nunchuk remote.

You can play chess on any surface (other than water). Looking for a quick pick-up game? Just draw your own board with one of the chalk chess pieces and you’re good to go.

Including Donkey Kong knobs and Mario switches, check out the video after the jump ...

But this one is actually sort of neat. This Hello Kitty toy designed by Dr Romanelli gives us the rare inside look. This is the first time we’ve gotten to ...

These wooden log pillows are perfect for beavers, cuddling humans and cuddling beaver-human hybrids alike. The design of the pillow imitates stubs of the cottonwood tree chewed down by our wood-loving friend, the beaver. Even better, they totally go with your natural pillow motif. The wooden graphics are physically knitted, rather than printed, giving each pillow a little custom touch. ...

What do you dress the future trash men of America as for Halloween? Well, of course, you dress them as garbage trucks. Wait… what?! Wouldn’t a garbage man costume make more sense? I guess there isn’t a real standard costume for a trash man. What kid wouldn’t jump at the chance to dress as a garbage truck? Maybe you can ...
