Remainders - Good and Bad Stuff We Didn't Post (And Why)

Rosa Golijan — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 03:00:00 EST

On today's list of things that didn't quite make the cut for whatever reason: Dangerous cellphone straps, updates no one will notice, a Google freebie, and a six dollar waste of money.

Google Offering to Snail Mail a Holiday Card for Free

Google's getting into the spirit of the season and offering a neat freebie: To mail out a old-fashioned holiday postcard for you. All you have to do is fill out the recipient's info, add a message, and select a card. Basically that's about 44 cents for the stamp and maybe about a buck for the card in savings in exchange for the pleasure of handwriting a nice note. [Google via Neatorama]

About Three or So People Rejoice as Twitter Updates Its Mobile Website

Does anyone actually use Twitter's mobile website instead of an app anymore? It's always been accessible at mobile.twitter.com, but now it actually looks nicer and has nearly all of the features of the regular page. That's lovely and all, but I doubt most will ever see it. [TUAW]

One Pain-Inducing Cellphone Strap

I'm fine with the fact that some people like to put silly charms on their cellphones, but I just can't figure out how they'd avoid injury with one like this. [Deal Extreme via Nerd Approved via Dvice]

One-Touch Toothpaste Dispenser for Lazy Squeezers

Squeezing toothpaste tubes is so tough that I don't know how people do it. I'm just thankful that there's a six dollar gadget out there to do the work for me. [Giz Fever via ShinyShiny via Uber Gizmo]

Someday, Somehow, I Will Learn How To Plug In This USB Ninja Star Just By Throwing It

John Herrman — Thu, 28 May 2009 06:25:26 EDT

Because unless you can do that, the Solidalliance Ninja 2G Shuriken flash drive is just a tacky, difficult to carry, 2GB poking hazard. It's available now for just over $100, plus shipping from Japan. [Akihabara]

Shuriken Magnets for Refrigerator Ninjas

Mark Wilson — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 15:20:00 EST

I may not be all that light on my feet, but if there's one place that I dominate, it's the refrigerator.

These Shuriken Magnets are perfect for the refrigerator or any other place you'd like to send a message. Just place a shuriken (magnet) in your hand, flick the wrist and...WHUTING! Pick up Billy at practice. WHUTING! Don't eat those mashed potatoes because they're old but I was afraid to open the container to throw them away because it probably smells but your sense of smell isn't as good as mine so you might eat them and get sick.

Get a box of two Shuriken Magnets for $19. [epaulet via Core77]

Sidekick LX Appears In The Wild

Wilson Rothman — Tue, 04 Sep 2007 08:07:53 EDT

Remember the non-sliding Sidekick LX "Shuriken" we mentioned had made it through the FCC obstacle course? The Boy Genius got his hands on pictures of the thing, though alas no additional details for T-Mobile's upcoming Sharp-built EDGE Danger device. [Boy Genius Report]

Ninja Shuriken Clock with Nunchuck Hands

Jason Chen — Tue, 01 May 2007 21:15:01 EDT

Are you a bad enough dude to own this clock? Not everyone is capable of withstanding the eight-pointed shuriken frame, the Yin/Yang face, the nunchuck hands, the chopstick second hand, and the ninja figure that's incessantly kicking its invisible enemies in the face before winding up and kicking some more.

Just pony up an Andrew Jackson (who's not very awesome) and you'll get one of these. We bet if if there were Native American ninjas back then, they would have taken out Jackson with a well timed kick to the groin. *Guitar RIIIFF* – Jason Chen
