Mouse-Calculator-Numeric Keypad Mashup is From Canon, Confusingly

Forget DSLRs: Canon has a new gizmo for us. The “industry’s first” mouse with a calculator and numeric keypad is a 1000dpi optical USB mouse that flips open to a full keypad and 10-digit LCD screen. And yes, you read that correctly: the LS-100TKM is from Canon, not Brando. Strange… but if you’re an accounting…

Stanley Brings out a Pair of Watches, One of them Strange

Ah, Brando. The soft “ping” in my inbox that heralds yet another slice of pedestrian weirdness from everyone’s favorite purveyor of odds ‘n’ sods.

Chocolate Calculator Counts Calories

We’re not really sure what’s going on with this chocolate calculator, or Chocolator, but we’re pretty sure it’s not edible.

The best thing that I can remember making with K’NEX was a ferris wheel, and I followed a set of directions. However, a couple of engineering-crazed kids from Olin College have devised a gigantic K’NEX Binary calculator that can add or subtract numbers as high as 15 (That’s way more impressive than it sounds).
