Think Geek TV remote wand

ThinkGeek.com is one of my favourite online shops (even if it is in the US). This time they have excelled themselves with a Magic Wand programmable TV remote.

Think back to your first Harry Potter book … now try and tell me that you didn’t wander around the house madly waving a ruler trying to levitate the cat (OK – maybe that was just me).

In most houses the fight over the remote is a long standing battle, with battle lines drawn between the men of the house and the women. Imagine what would happen if you replaced all the remotes with these wands – life could get very interesting and the battle over the remote a heck of a lot more fun.

Just train your new wand to replicate your existing remote, and then swish and flick to your heart’s content. You can change channels or adjust the volume all with a flick of the wrist.

You can even recognise a number of remotes – so with a flourish you can turn on the air-conditioning, zap – you have turned on the radio and swoosh you have turned the volume down on the kids (perhaps that function is just another of my fantasies).

Yes, it is awfully geeky … but oh so much fun!  Much better than their torch that can fry eggs (I ask you why … aren’t torches to see in the dark with?) or lip balm that is flavoured with Bacon (again I ask you why).

If you haven’t explored ThinkGeek.com …BEWARE. It is a magic portal where hours pass in minutes and your sides end up sore from laughing at all the cool toys for grown ups.

Until next time
