206: Old Men Talking

A terrific and sad read about Ichiro Suzuki. Jon suggests the Star Wars Force Bands for the Sphero. The OP-1 keyboard from Teenage Engineering looks pretty cool, but expensive. Their Pocket Operators are pretty cool, too, at $50. This thread that started with a girl who likes Star Wars is terrific. Back in the day, we had to rely on toys like The StarBird. Jon had the Magnavox Odyssey and Moltz had the Fairchild Channel F. The Big Trak is probably the closest '70s analog to the Sphero. What toys will kids today remember fondly? Squishies? Old-timey game cartridge covers are rather hilariously bad. Panic made a retro set for their products back in 2009. Our thanks to Control GX, the first grey-reducing shampoo, from Just For Men.
