Japanese WALL-E Mini Figure Set
WALL-E was one of the better movies that came out last year, not only because of its super cool animation but the cute characters in there are certainly more than memorable, while sending a dire message to humankind that we ought to learn to keep our environment clean for future generations instead of absconding all responsibility by jumping aboard a self-sustaining spaceship. Enter the Japanese WALL-E Mini Figure Set to decorate your desk at home or at the office.
Now you can collect this fine WALL-E mini figure set imported from Japan. It’s WALL-E, Eve and all his robot pals from the movie in itty-bitty-form on a snap together base. Yep you get the full set of figures you see in the image, which would normally comprise five vending machine capsules. So rather than forcing you to stand on a street corner in Tokyo pumping 100 yen coins into a capsule toy machine hoping for the “perfect” WALL-E figure set we’ve done all the dirty work for you. Doo itashimashite!
Bear in mind that when they called this the Japanese WALL-E Mini Figure Set, they mean business. After all, when assembled together, it measures a mere 5.5″ in length. $17.99 is the asking price if you want to bring all 8 robots and their plastic base home.

Globus Scriptorium is out of reach for Joe
Pause reading for a moment and take a look around you – what is the desk that you’re working on, if any? What if you prefer to do all your blog reading from your bed with your notebook resting on the mattress? For those who find the idea of doing so indignant and want somewhere resplendent to work, there is the Globus Scriptorium.
By Dutch innovator Michiel van der Kley, who took his inspiration from examining the eclectic designs conceptualized by 1930s futurists, the 2 1/2′ diameter pod is comprised of two durable polyurethane hemispheres that, when opened with its built-in handle, forms a seat and a workspace. The foam-molded seat swivels 180°, and is padded and luxuriously upholstered in leather, placing users 1 1/2′ from the base for comfortable, relaxed reclining while working. The workstation’s sturdy volkern plastic desktop unfolds and extends from the front hemisphere, supported by a hidden steel bracket; small items may be stored underneath the work surface. Requiring a mere 8 3/4′ sq. of floor space. It moves silently on four double-casters equipped with soft rubber treads.
The asking price for this beauty? $7,000 – not something everyone can stomach.
USB Cordless Warm Slippers
One of the main reservations that I have with USB warmer products is the fact that they have to remain tethered to the computer, and many a times we get up from the desk without thinking about removing the connection, hence taking down that peripheral and perhaps even breaking the USB connector in the process due to the force generated. Not so with this pair of USB Cordless Warm Slippers from Thanko, as the $42 price you pay for them are well worth it – it hooks up via USB to warm up, and once they’re fully charged, just disconnect them and walk around the home/office without getting your little piggies all frozen and shivering. The internal lithium battery is good for a fair amount of time before they require a trip back to the USB port. It comes with a light indicator to let you know when is the next trip due for a power refill, and there is an option to change the temperature between low and high levels. Inside the slippers, you will find an ultra thin aluminum heater being used. If you’re nowhere near a USB port, you can always hook it up via a power outlet.

Digi-Mug reminds you of family
Just how many objects do you need in your office to remind you that you’re now a family man, and you have to do all in your power to hold down your job in these economically challenging times? Most of us bring photos of our families to the office and place it on a desk, but with the Digi-Mug, you’re able to avert your gaze away from the new secretary each morning as you mix your cuppa to focus on your family instead. There is no word on pricing, and I’m not too sure just how well the memory chip inside is able to withstand the heat and cold throughout the years.
