When I first saw this, I tried to remember if they ever came out with a Game Boy in these colors. I seem to remember that there were a lot of special editions that were exclusively available in Japan. Naturally, you could import them, but you’d pay the big bucks for that privilege.

If you ever get to Abu Dhabi you won’t have to beg a booth babe to let you sit in a Ferrari if you head over to Ferrari World theme park. The park has the coolest roller coaster I have ever seen. The thing has coaster cars that are Ferrari F430’s.

The track looks sort of like a road and I can only imagine it would be a sweet ride. An even cooler coaster is rumored at the theme park though – based on F1 racing. The coaster is said to hit 149mph! That is insane for a coaster, most that I have seen only go about 40-60mph.

Touching two points on the card activates the small LED on the lower right of the card. The unusual schematic is deliberate; it’s actually the molecular diagram of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter. Double nerdery in the hizzouse.

Check out Alai’s website for more details. I’d rather have a business card that will make whoever I give it to unconditionally like me. I bet some biologist can come up with a card like that, probably lace it with hormones or something. Man, I wish I was a nerd.

The three sets range from a modest 258 piece kit for $29.99 (USD), all the way up to an enormous 821 piece set called the “Battle of Almut,” priced at $79.99. You can get all three sets over at Toys R Us now.

While you can’t see rippling muscles on Jake Gyllenhal’s tiny minifig body, he definitely has the facial stubble and mop-top befitting a tiny action hero. I mean what’s the last time you saw a LEGO set that includes a giant spinning saw blade and a guy coming at you with a pair of snakes? Get your credit cards out now.

This prop-replica of Kratos’ Blade of Chaos is cast from sturdy zinc-aluminum, and has custom etched textures to give it that war-worn look. The only thing missing is a juicy coating of blood. This beast measures in at over 20″ long, with the blade measuring in at over a foot long. The makers of the replica have also laser-etched each individual blade with its own serial number, so you know you’ve got the real deal. Of course anyone on the business-end of this thing will probably go along with whatever you say regardless of this seal of authenticity.

God of War fans can pre-order the Blade of Chaos replica over at Entertainment Earth for $149.99 (USD).

All you need is a pen knife and a little patience, and you can make your own Death Star melons. Personally, I’d fill mine with vodka.

Now who here among us wants to dress up as Darth Gallagher and smash ‘em with a giant mallet?

Wheelie doesn’t have any arms, but it uses the inverse pendulum principle to balance itself. The flat surface of its head makes it the perfect butler or waiter, and it’s just big enough to rest some plates on top of its noggin.

Check out the video below to see Wheelie in action. It’s true that this is an area where robots could really help out. Think about all of the robot vacuum cleaners that are cleaning people’s houses.

With one of these, you could have a robot deliver your TV dinner directly to you, so you don’t have to get your lazy ass off the couch. Now that’s what I call progress!

The picture is entitled “Nano Trek”, and it won Best Ion MicroGraph in the Bizarre/Beautiful Micrograph Contest, held during The 47th International Conference on Electron,Ion and Photon Beam Technology and Nanofabrication, quite possibly the nerdiest international conference held in 2003. Or in forever.

The NVIDIA driver will use anaglyph images – red and cyan, as shown above – to produce the 3D effect, and of course you’ll need to wear glasses with red and cyan filters to see the effect. If you’re not okay with that, then skip the rest of the article. If you’re fine with that, the first thing that you should do is to make sure that you have the latest NVIDIA drivers.

You can go to NVIDIA’s website to download the drivers. Once you’ve done that, restart your computer, then navigate to “Start>All Programs>NVIDIA Corporation>3D Vision and click on “Enable 3D Vision Discover.” All that’s left to do is to test it on your games; deanbmmv says that if your game uses DirectX, then it can probably be played in 3D. Check out his post on Press X or Die for more details.

Tsutenkaku is its name, and from the promotional video, it makes me think that the goal is to actually produce a gigantic building Transformer robot. This robot is about 5′6″ high, and no less than 7 different Japanese companies thought that it was a good idea to produce a walking tower robot like this.

Apparently, the robot was created to help make Osaka cooler. For some reason, they thought that a robot, which could strike poses and light up like a Christmas tree, would accomplish this. It’s scheduled to make its debut next week in Tokyo.

This Rilakkuma netbook is actually a tablet as well, although the Japanese like to call it a UMPC. It’s got a 8.9-inch touchscreen, 60 GB HD, TV Tuner, DVD drive, 1GB RAM, and two USB ports. It comes with a webcam, SD card slot, WiFi and Bluetooth. And teddy bears. Eating pancakes.

The most important thing for the target audience is that this Rilakkuma netbook comes with a bunch of pre-installed Rilakkuma wallpapers, super-cute icons and screensavers. The best part is that when users turn on the webcam, they can choose to see their faces in five different virtual Rilakkuma picture frames!

It will go on sale in Japan at the end of June for around ¥90,000 (appx. $990 USD). If you want it, you’d best contact Japan Trend Shop or Geek Stuff 4 U for help.

Overall, I think you’ll find the table more inclusive of your faves than not. Illustrator Kris Straub of Starslip and Chainsawsuit designed this graphic which offers elements for everything from Spc(1999) to DS9 on the table. I’m just stoked that they included Chln(of Men) on the Metallcrichtonide chart, and TW(elve Monkeys) in the Cameronkubriclarkine groups. And it’s only fitting that Lgn(Logan’s Run) and Du(ne) are on the “inert” section.

You can see a bigger image of the entire table here, and can buy posters of the table over at TopatoCo in either 14.5″ x 18″ ($18 USD) or oversize 22″ x 27.5″ ($28) versions to hang on your wall. Right alongside your Alessandra Torresani pin-up poster.

So how does the Arduino Mini Pro fare in Rock Paper Scissors? “It wins. A lot. And it adapts.” The glove remembers a user’s playing habits, so if you have a pattern of moves (whether you’re aware that you have a pattern of moves or not), the glove will adjust accordingly.

For example, if most of the time your opening move is Rock, then the glove will start using Paper as its initial move more often. Or if you usually play Paper twice in a row, then the glove will learn to play Scissors after your first Paper. It’s Rock Paper Scissors Championship Edition, and it seems that ironically, you’ll have a higher chance of winning if you don’t have a strategy and are totally random.

Tinkerers and hackers should check out Hoefer’s website for more details, as well as instructions, tips and the source code for the Arduino. Maybe you can build a glove that incorporates Lizard and Spock as well.

They’re available at Geekware for $15 (USD), and are also available in classic gray.

This app is by Chris Auyeung and Vijay Mathews and their BeardMe iPhone App (iTunes link) was made because they believe that everyone should have the option of having luxuriant, well-groomed facial hair. You have to admit it’s pretty funny when you add ’staches to babies, coworkers, and naturally pets!

A sweet, if awfully roundabout way to say you 01101100 01101111 01110110 01100101 someone. You can get the Computer Love Ring at Lyndsay Behrens’ (aka Idle Hands Designs) Etsy shop for $63 (USD).

The Jurassic Tourbillion’s case is adorned by 18K white gold, diamonds, and sapphire crystals, but who cares. Hell I wouldn’t mind if the watch can’t tell the time. What’s important is that it has monster bits inside. The watch will be shown off at Baselworld 2010 in Switzerland this month. What can be more awesome than a watch with dinosaur bones? I’ll tell you what: a watch with an actual dinosaur inside. Top that!

The DC-Falcon was crafted by Steve Perry aka pezzapoo. Apparently the cult classic console and Perry’s Millenium Falcon toy were perfect for each other. The Dreamcast’s gameport plate easily fit into the side of the ship. After “lots of soldering” and the addition of two fans to keep the mod from bursting into flames, the DC-Falcon was born.

Neat. Someone should make an Xbox 360 Death Star mod; I think the 360’s ring is a perfect stand-in for the Superlaser Focus Lens.
