Breakfast Links: Seafaring Luxury, Custom Love Songs & Vader Laptop
So yesterday I blogged a little bit about super luxury private submarines and how I want one. What I didn’t mention was that the reason I want one was to handle my business. You know… Business. Unfortunately, I just read this:
“Dolphins are easily excited when they sense people making love. They get jealous and bang their noses against the window,” Mr Jones said.
(via ectoplasmosis) Having a dozen dolphins banging their noses against the window? That would totally kill the vibe. So I scratched off submarine from my wedding registry and instead added on this super luxe cruise ship condo. Amenities run by the Four Seasons and ports of call like the Amazon and Antarctica. It’s only a gazillion dollars and I won’t be passing it on to my offspring since I won’t actually own anything but part of a 50 year lease. Word to the rich people!
Peep this, yo (via mefi). It’s a service that customizes lyrics for you. That is, they’ve got a bunch of studio musicians and a bunch of songs and you get onto their website and change the lyrics to something personal or whatever. Then they re-record the song with your fancy lyrics and pow. Each one’s about $200 give or take. If you ever need to greatly increase the cheese factor of a particular event, this is a primo way to go.
No, my young padawans, your eyes do not deceive you. That is an interactive light saber (via gizmodo)! This is definitely the ultimate learning toy! Although, what sick parents want a Sith Lord teaching their children?? Do you really want your child to be taught to let their anger flow? That their hate will make them strong? Well, that aside, this is the bomb, especially according to the manufacturer:
Enter Sith’s realm and let Darth Vader challenge young children’s skills in mind-blowing games in logic, music, and other breathtaking activities.
Let the force guide Jedi’s and Sith’s alike with this fiery learning device.

Ha, “fiery learning device” makes me think that it’ll burst into flames with every wrong answer.

Ah man, for a minute there, I thought it was a REAL laptop shaped like Vader. Imagine pulling on of those out of your briefcase in the airport lounge. That would be cool. ;-)

Yes, fiery is not a typical description to go along with learning device, although you have to note that Sith lords are not your typical children’s teacher… :)
As for pulling out Vader in the airport… I dunno… TSA may decide that the Dark Side is a dangerous weapon and throw you in the slammer!

Huh, I just noticed, what with the leave a reply box all the way down here - google ads has put a tailored music box on the page - cause I talk about tailored music up top. Guess that stuff really does just work.
