Grow Your Own Nintendo Collectible Mario 1up Mushroom

Thanks to the latest advancements in genetic manipulation, Japanese scientists have created a new form of mushroom that you can now grow on your own. Just add standard potting soil, sunlight, and lots of love and in a few days you'll start to see your own vinyl 1up start to push up from the soil!

At least, that's what you'd convince your co-workers of when you bring in the vinyl pot full of potting soil that you water everyday. Then one day you'd come in early to place the vinyl mushroom in your pot to fool them! (Maybe that's just us - we like to play silly tricks on co-workers any chance we get!)

Bandai Ants Life Studio Virtual Ant Farm

Remember how cool ant farms were as a kid? The only problem once you got your kit home was getting the actual ants, which typically took about a month via mail order. On top of that if your ant farm was ever knocked over your pet ants would get out into your room, which typically lead to a choking cloud of ant spray and your ant farm being tossed in the trach.

Bandai Ants Life Studio is a virtual ant farm you can keep right on your desk without fear of your ants escaping! You can interact with your pet ants by giving them sugar, salt, pebbles, worms, and fruit to help them thrive and build their nest. Shaking your ant farm will result in your ants becoming stunned and confused! This cool new life sim is available now from Audio Cubes.

Pet's Eye View Digital Camera

Sometimes we come across gadgets that really get us excited! However after we read the specs of said gadgets more closely our little gadget balloons get deflated. Case in point, the Pet's Eye View Digital Camera. This compact digital camera attaches to your your pet's collar and is made of ultra durable water-resistant ABS plastic. Photos are shot at 640x480 resolution at intervals of either 1, 5, or 15 minutes. Sounds great, so what's the catch? According to the product description there's only enough internal memory to hold roughly 35 photos, which means at best you're only going to capture a little over eight hours in the life of your pet before you'll run out of space. (No mention of a memory card slot to add extra memory either, bummer.)
