Sigh - I wish I wish I wish I have something like this. This is absolutely drool-worthy. Oh man ....

I just couldn't resist getting this when I saw it at the toy shop! Actually the one that really tugged at my heart-strings is the voice-activated R2D2 that I saw there - but at S$276, I need to think about it. A lot. Even though it is a toy that I have been lusting after since I saw it online here.

On a separate note, I saw the R2D2 backpack in the same toy store. It is not as nice in real life though, so I will give it a pass (not to mention how unlikely it is that I will ever carry the bag out).

Yes, I really really like R2D2.

I was surfing around and found this beautiful web-shop ran by Tiffany Ard, who proclaims that she (I assume) is the "biggest nerd you will ever meet". I don't know about that, but she does beautiful art work that is right up my alley!

Look at this -  "the effect of gravity is inversely proportional to the distance square" - How cool is that? I WISH I had a picture like this hanging on my wall when I was a kid!

Another item I am drooling after - look at this cool cool cool wallet!!



What is so cool about it? Well, according to FredFlare, despite its fragile look, it is tear and water resistant and is designed to expand as needed, with room to hold over 15 credit cards (though goodness knows why anyone needs 15 credit cards!) But you know what is the coolest part? It is apparently printed with the first 3000 digits of the calculation of pi!!

You can get this at FredFlare, but someone is organising a spree for it on LiveJournal as well!

I know this really doesn't help any claim to adulthood or maturity of thought but darn, I want one of these!! R2-D2 has always been my favourite Star Wars character!



Available at Fredflare for US$65, but I reckon the shipping will be a bomb. Sigh ...
