With Race in a Case, the slot car set may make a comeback. Why, you ask? Well, how about you can run a slot car race no matter where you are.

Cable Drop
Cable Drops are a very unique and innovative but very simple idea. If like me you tend to have several cables for different devices hanging around your desk you will find they drop down the back and you lose them. Cable Drops will solve this and will hold your wires and cables in place so you won’t have to scramble on the floor to find them each time you need to charge your phone or iPod. Aswell as your cables being right to hand each time the Cable Drops will not leave any mess on your desk and style wise they beat a lump of blue tack hands down.

October 23rd, 2009 at 11:53 amthe cable drops might not be the sexiest gadget but it certainly would get used by everyone! i hate when the cables drop off the back of the desk and i have to crawl under to get them back now if there was a temp version that came “unstuck” and could be reused for us tech support guys who have to replace systems all the time.

October 23rd, 2009 at 1:25 pmI wonder if you can attach a piggy bank to Snackbot and let him loose in a crowded venue to do some Robo-Begging. Then, pick him up at the end of the day and collect your earnings.
