welcome to the crave video podcast I'm Veronica Belmont and I Mario nuñez and we're here at crave thank you for having me back again of course you're a natural no thanks so what is crave all about again crave is the video podcast where we talk about all the wild wacky weird stuff that they write about on the crave cnet com blog okay well speaking of crazy wacky silly kind of gadgets I saw there's an apple fanboy out of st. Louis I know nothing about apple fanboys oh yeah neither what he created an entire bar out of old apple monitors and gold computers it's just furniture out of apple stuff that is awesome it must have taken him forever to accumulate all that different retro a year I think there was over 30 machines in there man I would love to have all that stuff so what kind of drink would you drink at an apple bar uh maybe an appletini but anyhow so I went out of town for the weekend I went up to Napa right and I have two caps at home on the cat lady and I realized it would be wonderful to have a webcam to hang out and watch their every move and now there's a company out of France called meccano that made a robot named Spike and so this is of course for our robot watch welcome to robot long I missed robot watch I know that's before your time you'll learn so anyway this robot is really great so he's on wheels so he rides around and he has a Skype phone built into him nice i'm not entirely sure what the skype phone does i don't know if you can call him and make suggestions i'm where to go watch your cats or whatever it is that you're guarding at home but he's a nice little spy but he'll take care of the house for you while you're away and you can monitor all your household activities that sounds really cool you love those robots I notice okay well so another thing I found which I think our producer Sarah would love cuz she rides her bike to work every day I'm so am i but is a bike that actually charges your cell phone yeah so he's like an awful lot of it seems like a lot of work and my phone will probably never be charged if I had to do that yeah I rode my bike to work a couple times and the combination of the traffic and the noises and the sweaty and the grossest I was over at real fast my phone will not charge I would prefer to drive and you know what i would like to drive what would you like to drive the ecto-1 Ghostbusters card it's actually going up on auction so you can buy it for a hundred and fifty thousand dollars that's where the autumn starts I think so if you've got the extra cash if you want a little piece of 80's movie history go and get yourself that very car no speaking of extra cash if you have a lot of extra cash to spend theirs is the Gucci holder for the blackberry phone which you must have I'm so sick of all these designer phone gadgets mi it's just it's too much it really is I'm just not that into it i'd rather have a phone that does my calls and my things and maybe my email I don't need it to cost how much does this one cost it doesn't say but it it's got to be either way it's a waste of money right and so finally to end this crave episode I give you cat in scuba suit it began when hawkeyes owner gene Alba decided to find a way to combine his two passions his cat and scuba diving so he said about designing and constructing a one-of-a-kind feline sized oxygen tank harness and breathing apparatus it was the challenge that was quite difficult to put this gear together but I tried to be able to scoop it up once finished it was time to test it out amazingly Hawkeye took to her new underwater world without fear in fact Jean claims his kid he actually relaxes when she dives easily staying under for nearly an hour okay well i like my cat so I wouldn't do that to them cruel but um it is pretty funny that's all we have for this week if you want to send in your links or photos or videos or anything else that you've seen out there on the internets you can do so by emailing crave at Cena calm and don't forget to check out the blog at crave dot cnet com I'll see you next time
