Semk’s FM Radio is mostly-soft - Technabob notes that it’s like a bean bag chair, since it’s filled with the same kind of pellets. And that really caught my eye - very squishable.
I love stuff like this, that throws you for a bit of a loop. Expect your gadgets to be all plastick-y? No way! […]

This little guy is rather cute - just the thing to perk up your desk or entertainment unit. Put CDs on both ends and he’ll be lifting a CD barbell.

Now this is a nifty alarm clock! It launches a rotor into the air that flies around the room as the alarm sounds. The alarm will not cease until the rotor is returned to the alarm clock base. If that doesn’t make you get out of bed, nothing will!

I love multi-purpose gadgets. You can use the ultra cute robot timer for cooking OR for time out when the kids are being rowdy. In fact, you can make a game of it - “Who can stay quiet the longest?” A buck would be so worth the quiet minute or two…
