Burton Sleeper Hoodie, My Home Away From Home

In certain “Cultural Subsets” your choice of hooded jacket defines you. Luckily for you, I have found your ticket to cool; find your inner jetsetter and get ready to set some jets. The Burton Sleeper Hoodie, for example, is perfect for this. This hoodie features wonderfully trendy styling and trans-continental touches, like the passport holder, headphone ear-plug pocket, inflatable neck pillow and eye mask, and is soon to become my new costume. I’ll end just like one of those horrible cartoon characters that owns only one set of clothing.

The Burton Sleeper Hoodie cost 100$ from the Burton Online Store and “will be available soon.” Impeccably styled hair sold separately.

Bugs Mini Vacuum Is Like A Roomba For Your Desk

Cute Vacuum!

Believe it or not, this bug shaped miniature vacuum is actually supposed to look like a caterpillar. But something tells me the designer has never actually seen a caterpillar, or at least only saw one after a beheading. Either way it’s supposed to be a convenient (and fun!) way to clean up food crumbs, pencil shavings or other crap that collects on your desk. While it’s not as convenient as the more popular method of simply sweeping it onto the floor, you’ll at least be able to annoy your co-workers with its powerful electric motor that also requires 2 AA batteries.

Now I’m not 100% sure if the Bugs Mini Vacuum is able to drive itself around your desk like a Roomba can, but with a $10 price tag I’m kind of doubting it. And that’s too bad because you can always use something else on your desk to distract you from being productive.

Battlestar Galactica Arcade Game (Image via BSGArcade)

I am a big Sci Fi fan and one of my favorite TV shows of all time is Battlestar Galactica on the Sci Fi Channel. I was really bummed when I heard this was the last BSG season, almost as bummed as I was when I was a kid and the original series was cancelled.

Today Sierra Online and the Universal Pictures Digital Platforms Group released a Battlestar Galactica space combat game based on the TV series from the Sci Fi Channel. The game is available for both PC and on Xbox LIVE Arcade. The game supports up to 16 players on PC and up to 8 players on Xbox. A single player game is also included.

Players can choose to play as a Cylon or as a human and players can also choose different ships and 10 missions from the TV series for the single player game. Four human ships and four Cylon ships including the Viper II and the Cylon Raider are available to pilot. Battlestar Galactica is rated E 10+ by the ESRB and will be available at retail outlets and by download for $19.99.
