It looks like a giant drop of crystal clear drop of water -- a shining drop of dew perhaps, or a single tear of joy. It is actually a sweet shimmering dessert that you can only get in Japan. No, it is not some form of gelatin that comes in a package mix -- it is a spectacular delicacy of culinary cunning. It is a Water Cake.
Festival goers across the US may soon have a cashless (and cardless) payment option when they road trip to catch their favorite acts. Lollapalooza, the annual music fest in Chicago's Grant Park, is the first big name event in the States to adopt the... If you have a lady friend who is a fan of Doctor Who, this skirt may get you out of the friendzone. It has the TARDIS in a pattern interspersed with the British Union Jack.
The TARDIS and Union Jack print goes all the way around the skirt encircling you or your lady in a 360-degree statement of your geekiness (and Britishness.)
The skirt is made from 100% polyester and offered in sizes Small through XXXL fitting just about every Doctor Who fan out there. The skirts are available now at ThinkGeek for $29.99(USD).
What’s better than a case that sufficiently protects your phone from cracks when you accidentally drop it? Why, an interactive one like the Equalizer Case, that’s what! It’s made from tough polycarbonate plastic to provide an added barrier between your phone and whatever hard surface you might bump or drop your phone on. What sets it apart from other cases is the glowing display on its back that looks like a graphic equalizer.
The coolest part? It reacts to ambient sound or music, so the levels go up or down, depending on the current sounds around it–like, say, the sound of your voice when you’re taking a call or the tunes when someone’s playing music. It uses its own battery, so you don’t have to worry about it draining your phone’s power, and has an on/off switch in case you need to tone things down.
The Equalizer Case is available from ThinkGeek for $14.99.

Brick-and-mortar book stores have clearly been on the decline for a while -- just look at Barnes & Noble's rocky finances. However, there's now some tangible evidence that the pendulum has swung in favor of internet-based sales. BookStats estimates... We’ve seen Super Mario Bros. dioramas made from paper and from 3D printed sandstone. Now you can make your own Super Mario levels with Bandai’s S.H. Figuarts Super Mario action figure and diorama playsets. In case you’re not familiar with S.H. Figuarts, it’s a line of small action figures that are “designed to perfectly mimic the range of motion of the human body.” They didn’t mess with Mario’s big head though.
The Super Mario release comes in three separate sets. First is the Mario action figure itself, which is 4″ tall and comes with a coin, a question block and a Super Mushroom.
Your options greatly expand when you get the diorama playsets. Playset A consists of another coin and one more question block, two brick blocks, a Goomba as well as transparent stands for Mario and the coin.
Playset B gets you another Goomba and a third coin, two warp pipes, a Koopa shell, a pair of open hands for Mario and more transparent parts for connecting and posing.
If you want to see more of the toys, here’s an in-depth review by Hassan Ahmed of NintendoFuse:
Run and jump to Amazon to order the S.H. Figuarts Super Mario figure and diorama playsets. The action figure bundle costs $24 (USD) while the playsets cost $20 each.

As the reviews editor for this tech blog, I often get asked which fitness tracker I own. And I tell people: I don't need one, silly; I run marathons. Maybe that sounds snotty, but it's true: During training season, at least, I'm probably more active...
