I'm not a huge fan of Flash animations, and overly complex web design (they tend to distract from the content and make me wait for unneccesary load times.) But this clear and simple site from the Leo Burnett ad agency is awesome. It's extremely simple, well designed, and incredibly well executed. Not to mention, it's fun and easy to navigate for having so much content.
Great stuff!

Here's a device with one very obvious use (although they fail to call it out in the catalog!) A solar powered talking Bible! Who would need such a device? Perhaps, someone who doesn't read, and has no electricity? We're talking 3rd World poor. Yes the perfect device to help the people in this world who have absolutely nothing! A talking bible. For the low low price of $99.95! Wow - Tell Me More!
Let's look at some other things you could buy for the world's mega-poor with $99.95?
Heifer International - offers 5 Chickens for $100, which "Starting at six months, they can lay up to 200 eggs a year, a reliable source of protein for children who otherwise subsist mostly on starches. Extra eggs can be sold to pay for school, clothes and medicine. And in the vegetable garden, chickens peck at bugs and weeds, scratch up the soil and enrich it with droppings." Not bad!
Light Up The World Foundation - allows you to buy solar powered lights for the 2 billion people on the Earth without electricity. $100 will buy you as many as 10 solar powered lights! That's a huge amount of money saved in candles and kerosene. The pollution and health problems avoided are almost immeasurable! Sounds good to me!
Play Pumps - offers you a chance to supply (for $100) a lifetime supply of water to 10 people. Holy shit, my Los Angeles Water and Power bill is more than that each month! They make an amazing pump designed to supply clean water to rural African communities with the power of Children! Yes, it's a playground that allows the child's playtime to power the pump on the well. Fantastic inventive thinking. Awesome and fun!
Habitat For Humanity - you can make a huge contribution to the cost (less than $12,000) of a new home for a family in Rwanda where "the 1994 genocide, crippled the fragile economic base and left 800,000 dead and two million displaced." House a family - NICE!
Or you could just order a talking Bible?!

Here's something I guarantee you'll see at the next U2 concert. A trippy LED wall with 3D cameras that read your movements to make cool-ass graphics. Kind of like a Lightbright meets iTunes.
What I wouldn't have given to own this when I was 10 years old! A very nice boom box hack with an AT-AT Star Wars toy. Slick stuff.
This is the strangest gaming item I've seen in years. While it's exact operation is somewhat vague, the pictures don't seem to lie. If you loose at this pong type game your left hand gets a horrendous beating. Short of selling this to an S+M club, I'm not really sure of it's ultimate purpose. Not to mention, no left-handed person (like myself) would touch this thing.

This supposed lost video of a U.S. Government investigation into the Microsoft Monopoly case. I don't think it's that funny, but there is a weird satisfaction watching the wealthiest man in the world squirm like an 8 year old in the principals office.
A cute and rather sad little sticker set for your iPod Shuffle. I'm not sure if this is our future, and if so, I'm concerned.
Going to prison? Worried about shower time? Here's the answer.
Curious if anyone has seen this in person. It looks rather frightening if you're a man.
