Evangelion - Misato Katsuragi PVC Figure
You see a ton of Rei and Asuka figures, but not so many for the other characters in Evangelion. Just announced is a nice PVC figure of Misato Katsuragi. Now where are all the sexy semi-naked Shinji figures for the fangirls? uhhhhhhh….. >.<

Hard Drive Dock
This USB hard drive dock is super rad. You simply slot in your big or small SATA type bare drive into the hole and, BAM, you’re set!

Bordbar, Airline Food Carts with Flair
Bordbar takes decommissioned airline food service carts, gives them a stylish makeover, and sells them to the likes of us. I wonder if it’s possible to find surplus / old carts such as these to do a DIY version?

New Home Entertainment Setup
Recently got our new home entertainment equipment. With much unboxing joy, fun setting up, and grueling waiting for cable guys - it’s HD, surround sound, DVR heaven. Here’s the list with some quick reviews.
Sharp Aquos LC-42D62U - 1080p LCD screen. Looks wonderful once you turn off the ughzzz factory settings. Nice blacks, crisp HD, no blur problems - no banding reported by others.
Onkyo HT-SR800 - 7.1 Surround Home Theatre in a Box. Has a cool feature where you place a microphone in the listening zones and it configures your EQ and levels for your room acoustics. Sounds fabulous!
Slimdevices Squeezebox - Streaming mp3s from server, internet radio, open source. Sweet solution for digital music junkies.
Philips dvp642 - Still using my old DVD player since it plays almost any AVI I throw at it (great for watching torrents burned to DVD) - will upgrade to a HD player once the price for those goes down.
Comcast HD Receiver / DVR (Motorola DCT 3416) - My only gripe in the whole setup. User interface response is really cumbersome. Device itself is really loud. Does, however, work fine as a DVR / HD receiver.
Logitech Harmony 890 - This is the glue that brings it all together! I love this remote! Let’s you control your whole system from one remote, Activites based workflow makes for crazy ease of use, computer-based setup allows for quick but powerful customization of buttons. Top it off with RF capabilities so you can stash all your gear inside a cabinet for a super clean setup! Bye bye 5 remotes!

Occhiali - Asymmetrical Glasses
Occhiali is a line of glasses by Sugar Kane that are asymmetrical. They’re not as strange looking as I thought they’d be - perhaps due to their model’s unusual styling. I probably wouldn’t wear them since I don’t have a crazy haircut and am a symmetrical being ^.^

Tenga
Danny Choo.com has a humorous ‘review of a Japanese product called Tenga that is bascially a self pleasuring device for guys that looks more like a cheap plastic thermos. With hilarious labeling such as “Sweet side” and “Bitter side” and a great 3-way icon, the ‘review’ itself is interesting beause he claims to have not actually tried the darn thing. Yeahright.

Matrox DualHead2Go Digital Edition for Macs and PCs
The Matrox DualHead2Go Digital Edition is a sweet little Gizmo that lets you output to two monitors from a Mac *gasp* or PC, fooling your system into thinking it’s just outputting to a single, large screen. This is gonna rock for Mac users of World of Warcraft, not to mention it’ll be useful for work
