Is it a boat, is it a plane no it’s a Hydro Fibian
What remote control toy costs 300 quid and doesn’t now whether it’s a boat or a plane, the Hydro Fibian of course.
I must admit first impressions are not great, this does not look like three hundred pounds worth of advanced remote control quality kit and the official website leaves a lot to be desired in the design department but this toy is cool…

Multi-function Office Thing
This little gadget wouldn’t of looked out of place in an office a decade or so ago. It’s called the Tool Logic Office Companion and offers the following handy tools and features in a small black box.
- 1 mW laser pointer
- Ballpoint pen (I can’t believe they classify this as a tool)
- Screwdrivers (+/-)
- Letter opener (when your finger doesn’t work)
- Screwdriver socket
- Staple remover
- Precision scissor (No idea what makes them so precise)
- One Meter ruler
- Hole punch
- Stapler
So basically it’s a black box that contains the sort of tools that you could find in a Christmas cracker, nice.
If my description of it has really sold it to you, you’ll be pleased to know it’s available at ThinkGeek.com for $21.99 *ouch*

Sun Dial Watch
If an LED watch isn’t retro enough how about a sun dial.
Continuing in our tradition of reporting on the multitude of time keeping instruments (I’m desperately trying for the sake of variety not to call them clocks and watches (again)). We’ve just found a remake of probably the oldest time keeping device; the Sun Dial. These wonderful time pieces were very popular in historic times and could be seen in many a Roman or successful caveman’s abode.

Soundproof Microphone!
I don’t know where you can find these – there has to be way of getting hold of the wackier Japanese gadgets in the west though. Come to think of it, if you’ve ever had to suffer a karaoke party this might not be so wacky!
From the always entertaining Odd things from Japan we present the sound absorbing microphone! It looks like a regular mic with a large cover for your mouth so you can yell into it to your hearts’ content without fear of your off-key warblings disturbing anyone else.
Could be useful, with alcohol fuelled Christmas parties just around the corner…

USB Mug Warmer (with 4 port hub)
There seems to be no end to USB devices, you can now get a USB powered cup holder/warmer.
So you no longer need to be worried about your coffee mind fuel going cold whilst you’re slaving away at the keyboard. As you’d expect from any good cup holder it also incorporates a 4-port USB hub so if they ever bring out a USB toaster you could plug that in to the USB Cup warmer but it only supports USB 1.1 so don’t expect your coffee to warm too quickly

More LED Stuff to Wear
After reading Marc’s post on his new LED flashlight I thought I’d have a look around and see what other LED bits I could find.
Thanks to the Red Ferret Journal I found the trend setting (not) LED Cap available at Alibaba who also stock the LED Dog Tag.
