Technology may work wonders in helping you find someone on MySpace who likes exactly the same TV shows that you do, but it's no substitute for good old fashioned romance. Until now.
LED Blow On-Off Candles are here to save your love life from another night of trolling singles websites. Instead of a real flame, these realistic "candles" use LEDs ... and turn on and off by blowing on them! W00t!
Imagine how cool you'll look, blowing on a lamp to turn it on. For realism, the candles even have a wax coating. The LED Blow On-Off Candle will "burn" for up to 300 hours on a set of two AA batteries, and sells for $12.99 to $15.99.
Now all you need are a few Barry White CDs and you're set. Use as a nightlight when kids arrive.

Penguins are all the rage these days. Just look at the buzz generated from the documentary "March of the Penguins," and the upcoming animated feature "Happy Feet." It's pretty safe to say that penguins are the "Ninja Turtles" of the new millennium.
So, why stop at features and plush toys? Well, those forward thinkers over at Pioneer will be damned if they are going to sit on their butts and let this flightless bird fad pass them by without getting their piece of the pie. At CEATEC, an electronics trade show in Japan, Pioneer introduced a penguin that will help you become a better driver. Or at least we think that what it does. The Google Japanese to English translation is a bit confusing to say the least.
Actual abilities aside, the Penguin Robot driving thingy is sure to be as important as your GPS navigation device in the battle for dashboard supremacy. Who will emerge the victor? Our bets are on the penguin -- cute beats functional any day.
