I gave a short talk at W00tstock this year about animals in space.

Super Short Comedy, a comedy show from New Zealand, decided to prank men who were just trying to try on some clothes who discovered when they were done the changing room door didn’t lead back out to the store, but into a newly constructed women’s locker room.

Toys "R" Us shoppers were apparently sent into a panic by a realistic diaper-changing baby doll that was a little bit more realistic than they expected. The little bit in question is the doll's tiny infant dick.

In the tech space, time moves quickly; a little more than seven years ago, smartphones as we know them did not exist — now, they’re the most profitable tech industry on Earth (and so prevalent that it’s actually a problem). A consequence of this is that it’s easy to lose sight of just how revolutionary and important the technologies we use really are. Touchscreens and multitouch interfaces are now a permanent part of the fundamental language of human-computer interaction. All future UIs will carry echoes of touch interfaces with them, in the same way that the keyboard and the mouse...

If adorable is the only criteria you look for in kitchen accessories, your hunt for a new pot strainer just ended. Taking inspiration from how a Blue Whale strains the ocean for krill using the baleen in its mouth, Fred & Friends' $10 Big Blue pot strainer quickly drains a pot leaving only pasta, veggies, or whatever you've boiled behind.

Play-tag is the newest pet-focused tech startup to hit the scene, offering dog owners some peace of mind through its unique, wireless smart ID tag and mobile app. When activated, the tag acts as a virtual leash, alerting you when your dog has exited the pre-determined ‘roaming range’ (which you can set to be anywhere from 0-150 feet).

If your dog exits this defined boundary, their Play-tag activates a highly visible, blinking LED paw print, so cars and people can clearly see your missing pet. In addition to this, their Play-tag stores vital medical records, behavioral notes, emergency contact info, and more, which can be accessed from a distance. Curious? Check out this video from Play-tag founder Maggie Owsley:

Play-tag is now available for pre-order with a ship-date set for fall 2014.

Bonus: From now through August 30th, enter the discount code “woof20″ at checkout to receive 20% off your order.

The original version of this pasta portioner was a clever play on the phrase "I'm so hungry I could eat a horse." But DOIY Design has improved on the original in every way with a new version featuring a famished T-Rex in pursuit of a fleeing family.

The only thing I can play on the piano is the opening few notes from Les Mis, so I'm not going to hate on this dog who didn't just learn how to play the piano, but actually grew human hands to do it. That's what real commitment looks like! Like my 5th grade teacher always said: If there's a will, there's a way. Go on with your bad self, dog!
