The young and young at heart will want to check out the latest set of racing cars from Anki.

Preorders for the Glowforge 3D laser printer kicked off this week. The promising new printer will let you peruse a library of 3D models from your Android tablet, or import custom designs from your PC, and cut into a range of materials A set of built-in cameras enable all sorts of functions, such as scanning hand drawings and detecting the material being cut or etched.

The Glowforge is currently enjoying a half-off early bird special, which will last for another 30-odd days. Excpect these to ship in December.
Cinnamon Toast Crunch Selfie Spoon
I may need to brush on my Revelations, but I'm pretty sure this is one of the omens of Armageddon. Cinnamon Toast Crunch has released a real (yes, real) selfie spoon. It is exactly what you think it is. It is a selfie stick with a spoon on the end with a remote camera shutter. With your phone securely 30 inches away, you can take a picture of yourself enjoying your favorite breakfast cereal. Presumably this can be cereals other than Cinnamon Toast Crunch, but it may void the warranty. Maybe you want to fire up the Periscope stream in the morning, or rake in the Instagram likes. You could even try it with soups if you're feeling adventurous. The possibilities are truly endless. They're giving it away for free, you just pay shipping. Don't worry if it's sold out, it looks like they're getting new stock every day. In other news, I'm sorry.
