Let the solar system tell you the time of day

The Galaxy Magnetic Clock from Brando is a unique wall or table top timepiece that mimics the rotation of planets in the solar system to tell the time of day. The circular clock holds three magnetic balls which represent planets and the sun.

In the center of the clock is the sun and Earth, Venus, and Mars orbit around it by a hidden mechanism that uses magnets.

The blue Earth ball is the hour “hand”, Mars is the minute “hand”, and Venus is the second “hand”. The motorized clockworks is powered by 1 AA battery which is not included.

The Galaxy Magnetic Clock is priced at $56 and can be purchased from Brando.

Get blinded with science from your very own mini Professor Einstein robot

I can’t decide if this animatronic robot is creepy or cool, so I’ll let you be the judge. Professor Albert Einstein by Hanson Robotics is a 14.5-inch tall robot who can teach you science. He can make over 50 facial expressions, maintains eye contact, quotes Einstein himself, tells jokes, challenges you to games, chats, and answers questions on a range of science topics.

Professor Einstein runs on rechargeable batteries, connects to the cloud and interacts with users through an iPad or Android tablet and app.

He’s sort of like Siri or Alexa because you have to say “Hey Professor” to “wake” him up so he will respond to questions.

You can read more about the Professor Einstein robot at professoreinstein.com and you can buy one today from eBay for $249. The purchase includes a $50 eBay gift certificate and free shipping.

FitBark is a wearable activity and sleep tracker for dogs

For qauntified self junkies who not only want to track their own health stats, but also those of their pet’s, comes FitBark. FitBark is a small wearable fitness tracker designed just for dogs.
