Meninos has some love for you social networking maniacs. $17.99 gets you two social networking mousepads: Twitter and Facebook. The twitter mousepad substitute's Twitter "What are you doing?" with "Where are you pointing" while the Facebook mousepad replaces "What's on your mind?" with "What's on your mousepad?"



The mousepads are made out of cloth material with a non-slip rubber base.

Well watch out Segway! Honda unveiled their new people mover which they deemed a personal mobility device. This little thing has no steering wheel. It has an electric motor, and a couple of little wheels in series that allow one to move in any which direction you want it to. The U3-x moves based on the movement of your body. Lean to the left and it will move to the left. Lean to the right and you guessed it, it will move to the right.

The U3-x weighs about 22 pounds, its seat and foot rests fold into the device and has a nifty handle that will allow you to carry it from place to place. Honda has not said when it will be available, as it is just experimental at this point, but they are going to showcase it next month in the Tokyo Auto show.

Here is a video of this little sucker in action on You Tube.

$135,000 USD -- that's the current price tag for the Goldmun Eidos Reference Blue blu-ray player. That is not a typo. $135,000 smackaroos. Now, Goldmund is known worldwide for developing real high-end audio/video systems, but the price tag on this blu-ray player is a bit silly. Perhaps the market for this is the same as the market for the "I am Rich" iPhone app. Really, I got nothing more to say.

If you buy one, maybe you can say we've referred you or something and we'd be able to retire.

Laptop skin web sites are a dime a dozen. Infectious is different because, as far as we can tell, their laptop skin illustrations are voted on by a community of talented illustrators. You won't get lame stockphotography-for-skins here. Some of our favorites from the bunch include:

A very long journey by zutto (pictured above)
Mysterious Forest by Simon Kim
The High Seas by James Hancock
Speakercloud by Zeptonn

I should probably also mention that Infectious also has car decals, iPod/iPhone skins, and vinyl wall art as well.

We're big fans of Sarah Hankinson. And even though we know nothing of fashion, we are even bigger fans of her fashion illustrations. Lucky for us, Sarah sells some of her fashion illustrations on her Etsy shop. All prints are limited edition 35cm by 25cm printed on high quality cotton archival art paper using archival pigment inks.

Totally retro dude! Table mats printed to resemble an old audio cassette laminated with transparent foil for easy cleaning. A set of 6 of these audio cassette table mats will set you back 11.9 EUR (or about $17 USD at current rates). You'll have to figure out tax and shipping all on your own though.

TIP: This is cool enough to frame.

This limited edition 10" x 8" giclee print beautifully illustrated by Tom Vadakan was created to convey "being someone else not who you really are." The reason we love it is by the strong use of tangerine orange hues and the way the blend in with the similarly strong yellow.

As with anything at Poketo this limited edition stuff goes fast.

Designer Ori Niv give us a chuckle this morning when we saw the Falling Bookend at his web site. Available in three colors: red, green, and black (what no silver?), the bookend is made out of metal to help support the weight of the angled books. Ori Niv recommends a hard cover book as your first book since it will help conceal the medal plate better than a softcover one will. Besides, a large hard cover book will look more menacing to the person facing their inevitable doom.
