<p><span id="more-36379"></span>Here&#8217;s a video of the googly eyeballs in action, just in case you can&#8217;t figure out how they work:</p>

<p>The whole thing reminds me of that weird <a href="http://www.hulu.com/watch/16417/saturday-night-live-googly-eyes-gardener">Christopher Walken SNL skit with the googly eyes</a>. Or maybe that <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSQdEkcm6zs">I just do eyes</a> scene from <em>Blade Runner</em> &#8211; I can&#8217;t decide. Now you can recreate either scene for yourself. Just head on over to <a href="http://www.strapya-world.com/products/38252.html">Strapya World</a>, where you can buy them for $38.90 (USD) a pair.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/battery_eater.jpg" alt="battery eater" align="right" title="battery eater photo" />Here&#8217;s a gadget that doesn&#8217;t really serve a useful purpose, but somehow still seems like a good idea.</p>
<p>Just when you though that AA-battery was on its final last breath, why not give it one last sendoff.</p>
<p>Place your dying AA-batteries in the mouth of the magnetic Battery Eater, and  he&#8217;ll chomp down on it until there&#8217;s no juice left in it. Made from an exposed circuit board with bent wire hair, his LED eyeballs will blink until every last bit of power is gone. The best touch: the capacitor for a nose &#8211; that&#8217;s priceless.</p>
<p>Designer David Dear created the Battery Eater for <a href="http://www.kikkerland.com/">Kikkerland</a>, and they can be found online from <a href="http://www.shiptheweb.com/epages/ShipTheWeb.storefront/EN/product/KIK&amp;2D1545">ShiptheWeb</a> for just $6.95 each.</p>
