Brookstone’s Talking Photo Ball is the perfect gadget for those of us who’ve always dreamt of putting our family and friends into a ball and recording personal voice memos about them. The gadget is simple to use; place 4 pictures in the various slots around the ball, record any message you’d like — as long as its 15 seconds long — and voila, your emotional attachment to each individual is placed in a succinct voice memo.
Once recorded, the ball will play your message every time you press one of the pictures or turn the whole gadget. It retails for $15 dollars at Brookestone and acts as an especially good reminder of how your family and friends have wronged you. [ChipChick via Brookstone]
