Oh boy. Some people love their Apple products too much.

Proud Apple parents (that is, parents who own Apple products and “parents” of Apple products) will probably grab their credit cards and order the iPhone Baby onesie. And, although it might be a wee bit exaggerated, it’s nevertheless cute. The designers changed the classic iPhone interface into something more appropriate for a baby: eat, poop, drool and other typical activities.

Not that the parents are likely to forget, but maybe a bit of humor can make the neverending diaper changing a bit better.

I didn’t believe people who said Snakes on a Plane is a bad movie. I thought it was just a regular action film with some snakes added in. And then, one day… there it was. And it was bad.

But as far as bad movies go, it had two good effects. One, the widespread use of the phrase “I’ve had it with these motherf*cking snakes on this motherf*king plane”. Two, the design of the Snakes on an Inclined Plane t-shirt.

Geeky? Oh yes. The one thing that can make me think back fondly to pshysics class? Definitely. Kudos to whoever designed it.

The phrase “memory of a goldfish” may or might not be true, but we don’t really care. What’s certain is that pet fish aren’t that bright and don’t get bored.

But people do. And regular aquariums are kind of boring, really. A tank with some plants, maybe a rock or two and a couple of fish… *yawn* Killer sharks sound much more exciting, but since real sharks would have your goldfish for dinner, fake ones would be best. The Discovery Shark Reef Aquarium offers those sharks - 3D sharks even! - with bubble streams underneath to make it look like they’re moving, a background of the ocean and even a sunken treasure.

Any kid who’s ever read an adventure story set at sea (or even seen Finding Nemo) will be excited by this. And who’ll be able to brag about their cool aquarium to their friends?

When buying a new bag what do women usually consider? Whether it matches their shoes? If it’s sturdy enough to carry everything? If it’s trendy? Or if it can help them get high?

Yes, you read that right. The Bong Blueprint Tote Bag is certainly unusual. How many people would want to be seen carrying something that says “I’m a pothead”?

But still… if you just glance at the design you can’t tell what it’s of; it reminds me a bit of Leonardo da Vinci’s sketches. So if you’re into shocking people all you need to do is sit around and wait until it registers, then enjoy the baffled (or admiring) looks.

The previous ChopShop t-shirts in this series rocked, so it’s no wonder the latest installment is also extremely cool. Rockers will be glad to learn that the t-shirt is dedicated to their favorite type of music.

Guitarists, frontmen (and women) and at least one famous flautist adorn the Rock Star t-shirt. There’s 28 silhouettes in total, and again the fun is in guessing who they all are. Some are easy… some less so. There’s definitely some Beatles action there, Ian Anderson, Ozzy… but (yet again) I am missing most of them. Is that Slash in the middle? Ohh, and I think I see a Bob Dylan.

It doesn’t really matter if you guess them all or not, however. The good thing about this t-shirt is that everyone else will be staring at you and trying to figure them out. A great way to get people’s attention, I might say.

Water bags? Water pistols? Super soakers? Fun, but not that impresssive. And absolutely no match for the WildSling Solo Water Bomb Launcher. This is a tool made for serious water warfare.

In order to throw a water bomb 120 feet you need a lot of energy, so you’re going to be using your whole body just like in the picture. Lie on the ground, put your feet in the stirrups and bombs away! It doesn’t get better than this; ultimate water war indeed, and sweltering August heat is the best excuse to act like kids.

But make sure there’s no one in the way and no windows, cars etc. close by. A bag of water flying this fast can be dangerous, and no one wants fun to turn nasty.

It looks like a paper wallet, doesn’t it? But that would just tear to pieces after the first day’s use… Of course, the manufacturers aren’t at all stupid: although it looks like paper, it’s actually a material called Tyvek, made from high-density polyethylene (plastic) fibers, that’s durable but lightweight.

The Tyvek Wallet - Par Avion is large enough to keep your money, credit cards and other random things you might carry, and because of the properties of the material it’s humidity-proof and very thin, perfect for popping in a pocket.

And maybe, just maybe, a thief who sees an “envelope” sticking out of your back pocket won’t find it worthy of stealing.

Two other models available if you’re not fond of this one, rawhide and dot matrix.

So it’s true: IT guys really are robots. How could they know all that stuff about computers if they weren’t really the same species?

Yeah, yeah, sure. They say they’re wearing a Motherboard t-shirt, but we all know the truth, don’t we? They got into a fight who someone who exposed their inner being and, lo and behold, it’s just circuits!

We have to be careful now. They know they’ve been uncovered and who knows what they’ll do next.

I’m very happy to see people have starting giving more and more importance to redesigning the old power strip. Creative plugging works to a point, but large adapters will always take up two outlets. I suffered for years until I bought something very similar to the Powramid Surge Protector.

The shape allows bulky power adapters to be plugged in next to each other, without taking up more space than a regular plug (win!). It’s got a power button on top, protected with a plastic cover, just so no one drops something on it and accidentaly powers off every appliance in the room. (Or, like I used to do, force it under a locker only to discover the only thing that didn’t fit was the power button. Good bye, unsaved documents…)

But, despite these great features, can I add something? The name sucks. Powramid?! Come on…

Long trip + bad music on the radio + the 3 CDs you forgot in the car a month ago = BAD. So, naturally, you need some other form of satisfying your music needs, something that doesn’t take much space and can play lots of tunes… An MP3 player, duh. (NOT “an iPod”, they aren’t the only player left on the face of the Earth, thankyouverymuch.)

If you usually use your music player in your car, but also need to charge your phone or other gadgets on a long trip, you’re going to need a lot of USB ports. The Car Charger with 4 USB Ports and 1 Cigarette Socket has a silly name, but it provides enough space for your gadgets and even your laptop. It’s even small enough not to get in the way, so you can just forget it plugged in until you next need it.

Really. You don’t want to discover your battery is dead and you’ve got a 5-hour trip of only listening to car noises to look forward to.
