I am sure many of you wasted countless hours voting on HotorNot during college…maybe you still do. Using the same “face-off” model, CommandShift3 pits one website against the next; conceived at the loosely-organized, totally awesome coworking experience known as Jelly, you won’t be able to rate sites on loading times or ease of use but rather just the landing page via a series of screenshots, but we’re totally fine with that — if the desire strikes you, you can click though easily enough. Thanks to Adam Varga, Erin Sparling, Lee Semel, Amit Gupta, Dan Lurie and Darrell Silver for allowing us to pass anonymous judgment on hundreds of websites, without feeling guilty about it at all.

I wasn’t familiar with AC Gears until I read this post a couple of days ago, but I’ll definitely be stopping by their new store to check it out. If you’re interested and in the NYC area, the new shop is at 69 East 8th Street, near NYU. Originally termed “Audiocubes”, AC Gears started out selling headphones. That is, until owner Kohn Liu realized the potential market for tech toys and robotic wares…you know, everyone needs their own toy Humping Dog.

Now, in addition to headphones, AC Gears sells random techy objects for the home and personal accessories. They’ve got a unique line of watches as well that are pretty reminiscent — perhaps not surprisingly — of those I’ve seen at Giant Robot. They’ve also got a few distinctly Japanese items like their Cup O’ Noodles Perfecting Timer. Looks like it might be a fun place to grab a holiday gift for that office gift exchange.

Spazzy packers like me need this to ensure that one end of the ocean is as comfortable as the next. Additionally, it keeps that nasty “Oh no, I feel like I forgot something super important” sensation pleasantly out of your gut.

This homeopathic remedy for jet lag works like a charm in the quest to take the edge off long hauls. A carefully concocted mix of herbs gives the solution its reportedly potent bite – but unlike everything else we swing back in hopes of smoother travels, this remedy leaves no hangover in its wake.

Scientists say that when you eat chocolate your brain produces the same chemical it does as when you're in love. Well since it is the season for giving, why not give your chocolate-loving loved one a double dose of that smitten sensation. We think they'll simply adore both the signature and seasonal brownie selections that the capable confectioners at Mari's New York have to offer. Blessed with the most delectable ingredients such as premium dark chocolate, Grade AA butter and Madagascar bourbon vanilla extract and available in flavors ranging from the classic brownie to Thai Coffee, these savory cocoa creations come individually wrapped inside of a signature baton box to preserve freshness so when your sweetie samples these savory snacks she's sure to fall head over heels…though maybe not for you.

Nabaztag is not your average robot. For starters, he’s a bunny, he does tai-chi, and he isn’t obnoxious. He communicates with all your wi-fi objects to do neat-o stuff like tell you the weather conditions, read your favorite blogs out loud, answer the questions you ask him (with the help of the internet and his bunny network) and receive emails and text messages from your friends and family, which he relays to you. Nabaztag even senses non-wi-fi objects like your keys, sending your worried spouse a message to let them know you’re safe at home once their presence is detected. The smarty pantses at Science Magazine are even saying that he represents is a big stepping stone to AI, primarily thanks to Nabaztag’s nack for communicating effectively with natural language. The weirdest thing about this little robot (aside from him being brilliant, I mean) is that he’s not too pricy, clocking in at under 200 bucks a bunny. Get the full rundown here, then be sure to check out the special edition Nabaztag designed by French graffiti legend, Mr. A.

There are some things I’m darn glad I missed out on when they were the thing in their heyday, like ’70s flare-bottom pants and prog rock. Nothing against them really, just personal preference. On the other hand, just watching the wild footage of early The Clash concerts makes me wish I could travel the time tunnel just to get a piece of the action. But there’s no value in regret because when you get down to it, if you do what Imaginary Foundation is graciously and thoughtfully doing — restocking select styles of their Surrealism- and Dadaist-inspired tees — then mulligans do exist indeed. A second chance for you to feel the very same elation that went around the first time you saw one of their shirts that read your mind but still you couldn’t get it together to put in an order. The time tunnel is here to pick you up, and besides, it’s probably a good excuse to spend some of that holiday money on yourself. Your Delorean is waiting.
