Dalek Shoes Exterminate With Extreme Funk

September 29th, 2008 by Conner Flynn

Any fan of Doctor Who is going to want a pair of these awesome Dalek shoes. They even have an electric colored EXTERMINATE on each heel. Handpainted Daleks on shoes screams geek.

They were created by kelly_bear, who originally wanted a Dalek on one shoe and a Cyberman on the other shoe, so they could reenact an epic battle. Turns out it was too hard to paint a Cyberman , so she decided that both should have a Dalek. Awesome stuff.

If that doesn’t bother you, you can get Optimus Toejam here and share in the foul smelling adventure to get the All-spark and save the world from the Decepti-clogs. They come in blue or yellow for $27 a pair.

Zappos Hires Robots To Invade Inventory Floor

June 30th, 2008 by Conner Flynn

Kiva robots
Humans have become pretty fast at shipping out your items with the help of computers and whips, but soon your items will be at your door a second after you click. Zappos just completed implementation of Kiva Systems’ Mobile Fulfillment System, which will see “a fleet of Kiva’s mobile robotic drive units and inventory storage pods” hit the company’s Kentucky facility. (Robots in Kentucky? Grab the bourbon and the shotgun…Better grab the inflatable sheep too. Could be along and lonely night.) The move is being made to keep the distribution system up to par with a bunch of new products outside of just footwear.
