Xachi – iPhone App Powered Virtual Pet

by Jay Garrett on February 18, 2010

Here’s a Tamagotchi for the iPhone generation.

The oddly cute Xachi pets are controllable from your iPhone/iPod Touch.

They have animated eyes, squeakers, accelerometers for games, touch sensitivity and even robotic legs so that they can dance for you.

Apparently they get a bit gnarley if you turn them upside down – but don’t we all?

The iPhone app shows your Xachi’s Thirst, Health, and Happiness so you can keep it happy where-ever you are.

You gain Xachi food by playing games.

It should be out in the summer – visit the site for more details and sign up for email alerts :)

Bottled Ghost – Mmmmmm Refreshing!

by Jay Garrett on June 3, 2009

ghost-in-a-botteI nearly fell over laughing when I saw this on Geekologie.

If your ghost repellent isn’t working and you’ve got used to having the squating spirit in your home but want to have it there on your terms then a cage is pretty rubbish really.

So someone decided to bottle the spooks and charge $20 for the service.

Here’s the writing bit:

Each Ghost is captured from a reported haunted establishment, (house, hotel, ship, cemetery, etc), by our Ghost Hunters.
We seal the ghost in it’s own bottle. The bottle is sealed for your protection.

You may release the Ghost at your own discretion and at your own risk.

The Ghost in the Bottle is contained mysteriously and is therefore sealed with wax shortly after the Ghost is caught. The bottle is sealed for your protection. It comes with very important information . We supply the Ghost, you supply the name. Individual Ghost experiences may vary as “Each Ghost is Unique”!


 
It’s a bit of a giggle and chances are there’s plenty of folk that would actually appreciate this as a gift.

There’s probably plenty of people that would buy one thinking that they’re actually buying an ‘appless apparition – same people that pay for ‘premium bottled water’ most likely.

Most my friends would try to drink the gullable ghost.

USB Chameleon – Matches Your Screen

November 1, 2008 Click to read more →

I came across this and actually thought it was pretty cool in a Chameleonic “WASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSssssssssssssup” kinda way.
The neat thing about this USB powered pet is not that it looks like a real chameleon – oh no…………..
It’s the fact that it actually changes colour as your screen changes.
So, if you fancy bringing a little more colour [...]
