Panic Mouse

Panic Mouse Motorized Cat Toy

Cats like to sleep all day, but they need some exercise to stay in good health. The Panic Mouse has a bendy “fishing pole” with a toy attached to a string that moves around in random motions. The cat will have a blast trying to grab (and will also forget to scratch the couch). Check out the website for a video of the toy in action!

You TV remote always runs out of battery at the worst time but now you can just wind it up and not have to worry about it running out again. It’ll save you money on batteries and it’s much better for the environment.

Lego WallE

The Lego Wall-E Trash Collecting Robot

Flee digiatal flying camera

Flee Digital Camera: When an Airplane isn’t on Hand

A cool gadget brings innovation to a conventional idea and that’s exactly what the Flee Digital Camera has done. This camera is designed to be thrown into the air where it will then take amazing aerial photos, something that until now you would have needed a small plane for. The aerial shots are then sent back to your mobile phone via Bluetooth, before the Flee returns to the ground ready for use again. Photography has never been more fun!

Definitely the Lego Wall-E trash collector. It’s like a Roomba but fun.

I am not too impressed with this weeks nominees. I guess I will vote for the wind up remote seing how it is probably the most practical. Please make next weeks entrants more interesting.

Flee Digital camera looks awesome. I could take some really creative shots with that!

The flee digital camera gets my vote – I never would have thought to create something like that but it could be used over and over and still retain its appeal.

The Wall-E robot is cool – definitely something on the way to our eventual domination by our robot overlords.

Also, even though that tennis racket seems gimicky, I would definitely try it out. My palms get very slick when I’m out on the court and if this really worked, it could save my racket from slipping in my grip.

I vote for the camera, although I am sure my cat (and my kid!) would vote for the cat toy…

It would have to be the Flee Digital Camera for me, I bet you’d get some really unique photos from that!

I voted for the camera. Seems like the perfect gift for the outdoors/active person, imagine the shots from playing football with it!

Definitely the Flee. Google Earth is cool, but this will add a detailed personal touch to aerial photography!

The Lego Wall-E. You just can’t beat legos.

Got to be the flee camera. The fact that you send your pics straight to your mobile is even cooler!

I did a whole series on a camera toss once. The pictures were pretty amazing considering.
This looks a lot easier and a lot less risky to the camera.

I love photography and am always looking for new angles. I’m sure this would provide some amazing shots and angles. Great gadget!
