I just loved the theme and had to get it. However, it just looks awful right now. It still needs cutomization to look as good as the one in the demo site.

Color Matic theme without customization

Zoom   More Images Cyberpunk Lute of the Future The moment we ran our fingers over the touchpad of the Kaossilator and heard the otherworldly sounds of the future we were hooked. This pocket sized music synthesizer is like nothing we’ve seen before. Rather than using keys or buttons to play musical notes, the Kaossilator features a revolutionary touchpad design. Move your finger from left to right to change the pitch of the note, and up and down to change the sound. But musical sounds are only the beginning, the Kaossilator can also be used like a drum kit with dozens of built in beats and drum sounds. Plus you get some amazing sound effects from laser blasts to Pac Man. You can put everything to good use with the built-in loop recording feature which lets you layer virtually unlimited tracks to create complex songs combining lead instruments, drum beats and sound effects together. You would think that all this power at your fingertips might be difficult to wield… but actually we were pretty amazed at how easy it is to make some great sounding music. You’ll almost feel guilty belting out some danceable beats with virtually no effort. The Kasossilator is also a great tool for DJs and allows you to tap your finger to the beat of any existing music, this sets the beats per minute and then you can play along with all your beat loops in sync. You can change the key you play in, or choose from different scales… and you get tons of different arpeggiator patterns. But we digress… watch the video and all will be revealed young grasshopper. Kaossilator In Action Product Features Pocket sized Musical Synthesizer uses a Touch Pad to Play Music Easy to use. No previous musical experience required. Built-in Synth, sound-effects, and drum sounds, for a total of 100 powerful sound programs. 31 scale patterns let you easily play a wide variety of “always perfect” phrases. 50 types of gate arpeggiation help you perform complex rhythmic patterns. Loop Recording allows multiple phrase overdubbing to create complete grooves Output stereo audio via the built in headphone jack with volume or use the RCA style audio-out jacks Runs off of 4 AA Batteries (Not included)   Product Specifications Different Sound Programs : 100 Musical Scale Patterns: 31 Key Range: +/- 12 Types of Gate Arpeggiator: 50 Connectors: Headphone Jack, RCA Style Audio-Out Stereo Playback Sampling Frequency: 48kHz D-A Conversion: 24-bit Linear Battery Life: Approximately 5 hours Dimensions: 106 mm (W) x 129mm (D) x 29 mm (H) Weight: 154 g / 5.43 oz.

Retro Styled Tin Sign With Futuramaism!

This genuine tin sign forces you to realize on a daily basis the corporate mantra to shut up and do your job. It’s the ideal office decor for the demanding technologist who thinks they are actually going to go somewhere in life. Perfectly sized to fit anywhere (assuming anywhere is perfectly matched to fit this sign) — this sign is sure to tickle your funny bone precisely when you don’t need a reality check.

This fully licensed tin sign is 8.5 inches by 6.5 inches and contains a hanging hole on cardboard backing for easy wall display. Optionally you can just place it on your desk using the included easel back. Best yet is that your tin sign arrives with 4 super strong ‘power peg’ magnets in the form of tacks so you can place those pointless post-its perfectly on your placard. No alliteration intended. It just happened. The sign itself says ‘You’re not paid to think. A mindless worker is a happy worker. Shut up and do your job!’. Choose to obey at your own personal risk.

Bite my shiny, metal ass!

Everybody loves a sarcastic, galactically saavy, cigar smoking, prank prone, selfish, beer drinking robot. Enter Bender. Bender was his mothers 1729th son. His father killed by a can opener, Bender went on to college and majored in Bending and minored in Robo-American studies. This Unit 22 Bending Unit is proof positive that every desktop needs a tin metal, intriguing wind-up robot before it can be considered complete. Yep.

8.5″ tall wind up die cast interactive Bender, from Futurama (fully licensed). Twist the antenna on top of his head and his expression will change from ‘normal’ bender to ‘angry’ bender. Perfect to fend off unwanted visitors. Optionally insert an included cigar into his mouth for those times when Bender just needs to mellow down. Bare Metal Metal Bender includes a can of Mom’s Old Fashioned Robot Oil and a cigar! And arms articulate! Wind up key to make Bender walk inserts into side and is removable (his arms will also swing while in motion!). Open up Bender’s ribcage compartment and see what’s going on inside! Or just wind him up and let him walk all over your TPS reports. He doesn’t care. He’s bender, you new best desktop friend with an attitude.

Bite My Shiny Metal A$$

Bender is many things to many people. Some folks see him as a brilliant vision of our future; others see him as a disgusting icon of everything wrong with animation today. We see Bender as a role model. If everyone was as honest as he was and forthcoming with their thoughts and feeling, the world would be a better place. We are proud to offer this 12″ representation (a noble size) of Bender for you to display on your desk. And not only will it show your pride in Bender Bending Rodriguez, but it will also help you save some coin.

Yup, Bender’s a bank. He’s got a slot in between his shoulder blades (if he indeed has shoulders) where the money goes in. To get the money out, just pop off his head (which Bender is very used to), flip him upside down, and shake. You’ll have just enough change to perhaps buy the one thing robots need more than anything in the world: alcohol!

Bite My Shiny Metal Ass

Bender’s practically famous. Other robots of his model (Bending Unit 22) probably spend their days bending girders, wishing they could be more like him. Among Bender’s many admirable traits are lying, cheating, and stealing. It’s hard to blame a robot based on a MOS Technology 6502 microprocessor for that. After all, our C64s used to get busted at the local convenience store all the time for underage drinking. And we ain’t even going to tell you what the Apple IIe got into.

Bender gazes at a field of stars and planets from the lower corner of this navy blue, fitted t-shirt. He could be pondering one of the deep philosophical truths about the universe, but we’re guessing he’s just trying to work “pimpmobile” into a sentence.

Hey Sexy Mama… Wanna Kill All Humans?

Sure the Three Laws of Robotics are good for humans… but our favorite outlaw robot doesn’t live by the rules. (Plus, Mom’s Friendly Robot Company probably left that bit out of their bending units’ programming as a cost-saving measure.) He’s less likely to obey orders given by a human than to tell that same human to bite his shiny metal ass. And, occasionally, he has to kill all humans.

This shirt features Bender’s head with the words Ctrl – Alt – Shift – Kill beneath on a black, 100% cotton shirt. Bender’s eyes, gritted teeth, and the words glow in the dark.

Miracle Fruits (sometimes called Miracle Berries) have been a secret wonder of the world for centuries. Though they were first documented by a French dude in 1725, they’d been consumed for many generations prior. They were eaten before meals to make the meals taste better. “How?” you ask. By making sour and bitter foods taste sweet. “But how?” you scream. The truth is, science doesn’t completely know (it has something to do with the protein miraculin that bonds to your taste buds, but the exact cause is still a mystery). But the berries work, and it’s a miracle.

Miracle Berry Fruit Tablets

• Dissolve half a tablet on your tongue and sour and bitter foods will taste sweet
• Flavor-bending effects can last up to 1 hour
• No harmful side effects (other than wanting more)
• Each tablet is 3/8″ in diameter and is two servings (10 tablets/20 servings per box)
• Take 1/2 a tablet – or take a whole one for a more intense experience
• Ingredients: Miracle Berry powder and corn starch – nothing else!

Daleks are both a fearsome and funny enemy. Sure they can turn you into pulp with all their beam weapons and attitude, but they also look a bit like trashcans holding a plunger and an egg beater. One of the coolest parts of the Dalek anatomy is the top part with its light up eye-stalk and flashing other bits. Time to meld this Dalek head with your own and terrorize your office.

The Dalek Voice Changer helmet covers about half your head in Dalek joy (the back half is absent to allow for easier on/off). There are three buttons. The top one plays through prerecorded Dalek messages. The middle button plays the Dalek extermination sound effect. And the third turns the helmet into voice changer mode. Yell all you want and sound like the Daleks you love. When you wear the Dalek Voice Changer Helmet and command the copier to “Col-late!” it will snap to attention. Or else.

Dalek Voice Changer Helmet

• You can sound just like a real Dalek.
• Will also play prerecorded Dalek sounds and the “extermination” sound effect
• Authentic lights and sounds (straight from Doctor Who)
• Adjustable head strap
• Dimensions: approx 9.5″ and 16.5″ from back of head to tip of eye stalk
• Batteries: 3 AA (not included)
