Little Robo-Brother is Watching
A little silver robot stands at attention on our desk. We’ve named him RoboMan. It’s not very original, but it fits. He likes to hang around and talk to us about his desires and aspirations. How he has always wanted to run away and join the RoboCircus and fulfill his lifelong dream of becoming a professional age/weight guesser. We think he’s full of bunk but he is cute, so we keep him around.

Ok, so we lied a little. We really keep RoboMan around because he is the most enjoyable webcam we’ve found in a while (he doesn’t really talk to us). He’s incredibly posable, so we can have him sitting, standing, balancing on one foot, or almost anything else we can imagine. He does have an integrated microphone and two bright LED eyes – so he can see and hear us in the gloom of our dark office. This is probably the first webcam we’ve ever found that’s as fun to play with as it is useful. Fun and functional rolled into one. RoboMan . . . we salute you.

We welcome our Snowbot Overlords…

Last December, as we were settling down for a long winter’s nap, we were visited by two robots from the future! They spoke to us and now it is time to share their message. There’s good news and bad news. The good news is there are tons of really cool robots in the future. The bad news is they are divided into two factions, are waging war against each other, and have “downgraded” humans to pretty much servants and food. We quickly smashed the robots with hammers, and swore to devise a way to save humanity.

Before we destroyed the robots, however, we were able to learn two things. 1. Each army of robots uses a different color scanning light (red or blue); 2. We have no idea which side is in humanity’s best interest to win. So we built the Snowbot – a small, winter-themed beacon…and perhaps our only hope. Powered by a simple USB port, the Snowbot has a scanning light just like the robots from the future. You can change the speed of the scan, turn on/off the scanning noise, and (for future protection) change the scan color (red or blue). So no matter which robot army storms your home or office, a quick flick of a switch and you are rooting for the invader’s color. Hopefully then the robots will just make you a servant and not an appetizer. Good luck and happy holidays.

The ThinkGeek Snowbot Features:

• USB Powered (for great justice!)
• Scanning LED Robotic Eye
• Rate of sweeping is controllable via knob
• Selectable LED Robotic Eye Colors (Blue or Red)
• Authentic Snowbot Sound (on/off switch)
• Rotating, articulating metal arms
• Coiled (12″) USB cable extends to 30″

Own The Keenest Faucet On The Block…

Tired of that same old monotonous water? Bored with water that doesn’t look like futuristic alien mouthwash? Need to make your midnite bathroom appointments more exhilarating? Then you need to get the blue LED faucet attachment from ThinkGeek. You can turn any faucet in your home into a streaming blue lagoon of techie-bliss in just minutes. How does it work? Just attach to the end of your faucet (universal adapters included), and when the water flows through the magic chamber, it simply turns on the blue LED array and illuminates the stream with a soothingly powerful crystal blue hue.

Here’s what you get:

• Chamber with blue LEDs
• Batteries pre-installed plus a set of spare batteries (uses G13-A style watch batteries)
• Instruction Sheet
• Two universal adaptors included. (fits most standard faucets in USA. Not recommended for faucets outside of the USA.)
• Dimensions: 2.25″ tall, 1.25″ diameter.

The flow of water is a great representation of the passing of time. Sometimes it languidly trickles, sometimes it rages against rocks. But it always moves forward – just like time. So, put water to work for you. Fill up the H2O battery in this multifunction clock, and you now have four modes of water powered excitement. You get a clock, an alarm, a countdown timer, and a thermometer.

What makes this clock so unique (other than the fact that it is powered by water!) is how you change modes. Just a simple 90° rotation is all it takes to go from mode to mode. One fill of water normally powers the clock for 2 to 3 months, for hours (get it?) of rotating fun. We here at ThinkGeek have modes activated by rotating ourselves – but they are just “awake” and “asleep.” We also run off of a liquid battery: Bawls!

H2O Multifunction Clock

• Modes: Clock, Alarm, Countdown Timer, Thermometer
• Clock is 12 hour only
• Hourly Chime (always on)
• Thermometer displays temperature in °C and °F
• Dimensions: 3.2″ diameter, 1.3″ depth
