Amoeba Dual Purpose Digital Microscope

Amoeba Dual Purpose Digital Microscope

Amoeba Dual Purpose Digital Microscope

As wee geeks, we loved our science classes. Science was always fun and hands-on and related to the things we interacted with in our daily lives. Getting to play with the microscopes fell in the category of Best. Day. Ever. Using a microscope was like looking into a different world. We saw things that we didn't even knew existed - like amoebas!

But we couldn't take the microscope home. And we had to share it with our lab partner, a kid with a purple spot on his left nostril, a clear sign of his grape-scented marker huffing habit. If only we had a microscope at home: we could have been studying science every night and every weekend.

This dual purpose microscope is perfect for the home scientist. It features high powered specimen slide viewing and lower power to get a closer look at stamps, coins, and other small objects. You can even detach Amoeba’s tube for convenient handheld digital viewing of large objects. Need to snap a picture or video of your findings? With its built in 1.3 MP digital camera, Amoeba can easily capture photos or video and upload to your computer to save, send and share with anyone.

MicroStylus Compact Capacitive Touch Stylus

MicroStylus Compact Capacitive Touch Stylus

MicroStylus Compact Capacitive Touch Stylus

This just might be the best stylus ever made. I’m completely serious. - Matt Burns, TechCrunch Woe are we, the clumsy, the fat-fingered. It takes us twice as long to text because we're either cursing auto-correct or constantly backspacing to correct our mistakes. We've bookmarked every site we like because we can't be trusted to type URLs. Our accuracy in Angry Birds is pitiful, our verisimilitude in drawing games is laughable. We can't even pick up the right letter from our rack in Words with Friends. Woe, woe, woe. No more! The MicroStylus Jack is the tiny stylus that will have you texting with the skill of a middle schooler on Red Bull. Precision machined from aircraft grade aluminum, the MicroStylus has a soft silicone tip that gives you the edge for texting, drawing, emailing, or gaming. Where do you store this tiny wonder, you ask? Right in your headphone jack. Bam. It keeps dust out of your phone's interior while standing at the ready for your next move on Words with Friends. (Better take advantage of that TW square!) Product Specifications The world's smallest capacitive touch stylus Milled aluminum body with a soft silicone tip Perfect for an on-the-go stylus to take notes or game Keeps your screen free of greasy fingerprints Stores in your 3.5mm headphone jack Doubles as an audio jack dust cap Compatible with all capacitive touch surfaces (iPhone, Android, tablets, etc)

Monkey Light 8-Bit Bike Wheel Light

Monkey Light 8-Bit Bike Wheel Light

Monkey Light 8-Bit Bike Wheel Light

Let's get one thing clear, we like lights on our bikes. Maybe it's because we want a pedal-powered lightcycle, or maybe it's just because LEDs make us happy deep down inside. Whatever. While we do have some excellent simple LED bike lights (see below), there are times when we want to pull out all the stops. These times call for us to step up the hardware. These times call for a Monkey Light 8-Bit Bike Wheel Light! The Monkey Light 8-Bit Bike Wheel Light is just a lovely piece of awesome. The battery pack straps to your bike wheel's hub (so it doesn't mess up the balance) and the light unit quickly installs near the tire. With a few button presses, you're selecting one of 20 different light patterns which will blast out of both sides of your tire (5 super-bright LEDs per side). And then you get to select the colors you want (each theme has many color options). Finally, use science (persistence of vision) and your own muscles (pedaling power) to turn 10 spots of light into awesome streaking patterns. Skulls, invaders from space, rocket ships, fiery comets, and 16 more! Get one Monkey Light 8-Bit Bike Wheel Light for each tire, and you will have the coolest bicycle ever (with the singular exception of Pee-Wee Herman's). Monkey Light 8-Bit Bike Wheel Light Straps to your bike's wheel for a delightful lightshow. Choose from 20 themes and tons of colors (you get to pick the theme and then the color)! 10 full color, ultra-bright LEDs! Hub mount (for battery pack) keeps wheel balanced. Fits bicycle wheels 20" and larger(20, 24, 26, 27, 28, 29, 700c). Great visibility at all speeds (complex patterns best visible at 10+ mph). Maximum safe speed: 40mph. Waterproof for use in all weather. Stainless steel antitheft strap. Vibration proof 3-point mount. Up to 40 hours runtime. Includes: MonkeyLectric M210 Mini Monkey Light bike wheel light, MonkeyLectric Hub mounted battery holder, 2 stainless steel antitheft straps, 8 cable ties for mounting, 3 rubber spacers, stickers, and 20 language instruction sheet. Warranty: 2 year manufacturer warranty. Batteries: 3 AA (not included). Dimensions: Light Size: approx. 5.3" x 2.1" x 0.39" Battery Holder Size: approx. 3.35" x 1.967" x 1.5"

Hollow Spy Coins

Hollow Spy Coins

Hollow Spy Coins

These days spy tools have all gone high tech... don't get us wrong, it's pretty cool to packet sniff someone's network to ferret out secrets, but it just doesn't have the same spy flavor as using a tiny camera to take covert photos for later conversion to microfilm. That's why we love these retro style Hollow Spy Coins. Each coin is precision hand milled to create a secret compartment inside. Once closed, it's virtually impossible to distinguish these spy coins from a regular coin. Store your secrets then pass it off to your undercover contact as pocket change... no one will be the wiser. The half dollar is even capable of storing a micro SD card. Just think, gigs of data in a coin... 007 would be so jealous.

Flying F*CK R/C Helicopter

Flying F*CK R/C Helicopter

Hey... we're all jaded and sometimes you just don't give a flying f*ck... but wouldn't it be nice if you could? Now you can give a flying f*ck to a friend or loved one. This fine r/c helicopter is in the form of a giant hovering F*CK. It has two-channel control meaning it is always moving forward slowly. You control the hover and right and left turns. It's really a genuine gift from the heart... Rather than telling someone you don't care a rats ass about them, you can let them know you respect them enough to give a flying f*ck. Awww... We're tearing up right about now. Important Note The F*CK in the image above is blurred out, but when you get the real copter it's not blurred... Capiche?

Giant Foam Polyhedral Dice

Giant Foam Polyhedral Dice

Every D&D player parent dreams of the day when their youngsters pick up their glittering polyhedrals for the first time. Sometimes, however, those dreams are nightmares as those little dice are certainly choking hazards. You'd be best to keep those dice out of your youngling's hands until they're old enough.

You'd hate to discourage them from exercising their creativity, and prevent them from joining in on the fun of slashing a Kobold in twain with your vorpal sword, but you're concerned for their safety. If only somebody made giant polyhedrals made out of foam... if only...

Oh, goody! ThinkGeek's come to the rescue again! This set of 5 polyhedral dice fits great in your fist, is all squishy, and is a good start for your pint-sized player-to-be. Included in the set is a 4-sider, 8-sider, 10, 12, and 20. I know, there's no six sider, but nobody's perfect.

Of course, for those of you that haven't spawned yet, and are prone to violence towards bastard DMs that giggle with delight when you roll critical failures at your save-vs-death rolls, feel free to chuck this nice soft 20 sided icosahedron at their stupid smiling faces. It'll bounce off, no harm done, but sooo satisfying.

Electronic Goldfish in a Bowl

Electronic Goldfish in a Bowl

We love goldfish, but alas, we're also lazy and forget to feed the little dudes. And we're ever so tired of all the toilet bowl funerals. That was just a joke to mention toilets, as we would never fail to feed our fishy friends. But what if there was an easier way to enjoy a goldfish without having to worry about food? There is (huzzah!) and it is the Electronic Goldfish in a Bowl.

Playing with your new Electronic Goldfish in a Bowl is super easy. Put fresh batteries into the top, push the base decoration into the bowl, fill the bowl with water, and put the top back on. Tap the top and the fishy "swims" around - looking quite alive. There's even an LED light show that morphs from one color to another for the perfect relaxing fishy mood. All you have to feed your Electronic Goldfish in a Bowl is batteries, and it will love you as much as a piece of plastic can love a human. Forever! Never again will you have to write "RIP Cap'n Goldikins" on your toilet. We salute you, Cap'n.

Electronic Goldfish in a Bowl

Just like a real fish, it "swims around." But unlike a real fish, you never need to feed it! •Real glass bowl - just add batteries and water (both not included).

•Three Modes:

◦Demo - Fish swims for 30 seconds with lights (button must be pressed first).

◦Play - Fish swims for 90 seconds with lights.

◦E.P. - Fish swims for 5 minutes with lights.

•Includes: Glass bowl, fish unit, and base decoration.

•Batteries: 3 x AA (not included).

•Dimensions: approx. 7.5" x 4.5" x 7.9"

SurvivalStraps Survival Bracelet

SurvivalStraps Survival Bracelet

Picture this: you are out boating with a friend, when suddenly you see a woman get trapped in branches of a fallen tree. She is struggling to survive, but the water is rough and risky to swim in. But you are wearing your SurvivalStraps Survival Bracelet, which you quickly unravel into 14' of paracord. You hold one end and give your friend the other. A quick swim to the trapped woman and you have her in your arms. Your friend then helps haul you in by pulling the paracord. It might sound like fiction, but the above is a true story. A life saved because of a SurvivalStraps Survival Bracelet (great job, Mike Harper).

But you might not just save someone else's life, you know. What if you are in a building overtaken by Alan Rickman and his gang and you find yourself on top of a roof? Sure you could always use a firehose to swing to safety, but if you had a SurvivalStraps Survival Bracelet, you wouldn't have to worry about improvising. See, these bracelets (which, by the way, you don't have to wear on your wrist - you can attach them to virtually anything) are ready to get you out of trouble. SurvivalStraps Survival Bracelet - because stuff happens, so you might as well be prepared.

The 1980s Arcade Wristwatch

The 1980s Arcade Wristwatch.

This is the watch inspired by the classic arcade games of the 1980s that tracks the time with two asteroids and a spacecraft. Its face enclosed by a miniature cabinet that bears all the nostalgic design elements of its full-sized forebears (including a non-functioning joystick), this watch pays homage to the space battle games that once lined the walls of arcade parlors. It marks the hour with a large asteroid, the minute with a smaller asteroid, and the seconds with a classically simplistic triangular ship that orbits around the face’s center. Although harmless to alien ships and celestial bodies, a press of the button does yield the familiar “pew” sound of a fully functioning energy weapon of the era while lighting up each hour marker. Miyota movement provides “stellar” timekeeping. Black 1" leather band fits wrists between 7 3/4"-10" circumference. Case 2 1/4" H x 1 1/2" W x 1" D. (3 oz.)

Adjusts to the job

Hydrokinetic Adjustable Wrench

Gadgets For Geeks

Doctor Who has his sonic screwdriver - a small tool that can adjust to any situation. It uses advancements in technology to provide an infinitely adaptable tool. While the Hydrokinetic Adjustable Wrench won't let you start up your TARDIS, it will let you fiddle with twenty three different sizes of bolts and nuts. And the secret resides in wrench's liquid core. Take a look at the little computer graphic cut-away, and you'll know what we mean. To adjust the Hydrokinetic Adjustable Wrench, just open the valve, fit around the nut or bolt of your choice, and push the gripper on the opposite end. It will compress the liquid which will, in turn, push the gripper on the end you want. Once it is snug against the nut, close the valve and your Hydrokinetic Adjustable Wrench is locked into position. It's that easy! The slim heads of the wrench will let you sneak it into tight spaces, and the design of the grip will help you turn even damaged nuts and bolts. Once you get your Hydrokinetic Adjustable Wrench in your hands, you will instantly know its power - that it looks like something from Doctor Who or Star Trek doesn't hurt either!
