Website of the Day: Things For Sale That I Will Mail You

Do you ever joke around with friends and say things like "If you pay me $5,000, I'll sail to China and back?" I know I have, at least after a beer or two, and now there's actually a legit site that brings fairytale fantasies to fruition.

Things For Sale That I Will Mail You lists personal assignments for artist David Horvitz to achieve, like asking for $2,443 to go to Iceland to find you three things or offering to go to a small Okinawan island for $1,626 to send you an envelope of star sand (this one is my fave). You can donate as much as you like, and once David receives the full amount, he adds the task to his "view all purchases" page. It not only lists all of the adventurous tasks he's fulfilled, but it includes the name of the person who paid for his trip. A very cool idea indeed.

Ultimate Wii Remote Kit: Hero Pack

GeekSugar — Wed, 22 Aug 2007 15:00:36 -0700

When it comes to playing the Wii I usually keep things pretty simple. My primary repertoire includes Wii Sports (especially Wii Boxing) and Cooking Mama, so when tdamji e-mailed me about the Camy Hero Pack for the Wii Remote I was intrigued, but unsure what I would do with it. Then I thought about 8-12 year old boys around the world and how much they love playing Zelda and Wii. Indeed, this must be the ultimate kit for someone's tot out there. It's not for sale yet, but the website claims it's coming soon. It will feature a soft foam blade (you don't want to really slay those dragons), and an unobstructed IR port allowing the shooting function of the Wii remote to still work.
