When I first saw Roboquad, I knew this was the coolest robot ever. Now, thanks to the folks at RobotsRule.com, Roboquad just got better.

They have designed a system of controlling your pet robot by voice, through the internet, using Skype. To make it an even better house spying machine, they attached a wireless camera to the head of Roboquad.

This video is not only a great introduction to Roboquad. Along the way, you will meet some of the other great WowWee Robots including RoboPanda and the famous RoboSapian.

On the same note, I would recommend any of the Robot gifts from WowWee for that Christmas gift for that guy or girl who has everything.

I would have to say that if there was any accessory that would make my desk complete, it would be the “Laser Guided USB Missile Launcher.”

I have been eying these fantastic inventions for office warfare for a while now, and I just can’t get over how cool this is.

Just imagine shooting your USB missiles over cube walls, knowing that there may be an imminent return attack by the across-the-cube-wall dwellers.

So, take a break from programming, accounting, actuarial stuff, or whatever it is you do, and participate in some good old fashion office war games with a USB Laser Guided missile launcher.

For those hacker types out there, it gets even better. Now you can find the Striker II API at Ninjagizmos.com and really take control of that IOBM (Inter Office Ballistic Missile).

P.S. This would make a great Christmas gift for that husband, son, brother, or blogger in your life

Isn’t it amazing that whenever you really need a flashlight, your batteries are always dead? This usually happens part way through a camping trip, or during a big storm.

One of the coolest remedies to this problem comes from a combination of old and new technologies. It is the LED crank flashlight. A few turns of the crank provides power for the flashlight for a relatively long period of time. This is partially due to the low power consumption of the LED bulb. Not to worry, these LED bulbs are very bright. My dad has one of these flashlights and I was amazed at how well it worked.

I know I will be asking for one of these for Christmas (more than one is cool too). It is a great gift that can serve a purpose when outdoors or at home.

Summer is over and we are quickly heading towards Thanksgiving. With that season upon us, it is never too early to begin looking for those perfect gifts for friends and loved ones.

This list will give some of the best and most sought after gifts. It will also give some gift ideas for guys who have everything. And by the way, use this list to buy yourself a gift while your at it!

Digital Photo Keychain

It’s no secret, but digital cameras are in. Most people have one (or 2, 0r 3, etc.). Now that he has a digital camera, make his pictures more mobile.

A digital photo keychain is very cool and very convenient. You can show the latest holiday photos to coworkers, or save those funny pictures from that practical joke that was played on your friend.

It’s a great ice breaker as well. When other people see an electronic gadget that they don’t have, it makes for a great conversation starter!

Digital photo keychains range in price from $19.99 on up.
