10:00AM Dan Nosowitz | Some gadgets scream out for an adorability upgrade, like netbooks or Roombas. Headphone splitters aren’t exactly one of them, but Splitterbot is too cute to deny. More »

Roombas Are Fun For Cats of All Ages

8:00PM Elaine Chow | Sorry Roomba Cat, but you’ve been out-adorabled by this litter of kittens. Who knew they’d learn what robotic vacuums ought to be used for at such a young age? [Cute Overload] More »

Yuen’To Music Ball is Great for Listening to Music, Bopping Heads

10:32PM John Herrman | Clearly a product of the deep-sea geothermal vent creature school of cuteness, the Yuen’To Music Ball is an adorable, albeit expensive, powered portable speaker. More »

Cat Gets Good Vibrations From Subwoofer

6:00PM Elaine Chow | There’s nothing I find more entertaining than cats using technology to amuse themselves—whether it be boxing with printers, riding roombas, or just chilling with the help of a subwoofer, like this kitty. [Neatorama] More »

Useless Monkey Webcam Smiles and Cheers You On

1:24PM Gizmodo US Edition | Behind this monkey’s disheveled smile lies a discreet webcam. He clings on to a pencil holder, handy for that USB pencil sharpener you bought during the last Woot-Off, with a special message: “Happy every day.” More »

Little Seiko Unicycling Robot Caught On Video, Unicycling Straight Into Your Heart

8:28PM Kit Eaton | Here’s video of Murata’s Little Seiko balancing robot up to its tricks on a unicycle. It’s a smart little thing: as well as balancing on that single wheel with nifty gyro and counterbalance robotic action, it can do collision avoidance. And boy, if it isn’t the cutest little robot you ever did see. [Bot Junkie] More »

FriendsWithYou Mimobots Add Diabetes-Inducing Cuteness to Data

10:00PM Jesus Diaz | Apparently designed for tree-hugging hippies, Castro residents and ex-Hello Kitty addicts, the latest Mimobots are the same-old USB memory sticks dressed in new plastics. And yes, like the previous generations, these FriendsWithYou models are equally as cute, sugar-level-boostery and almost-irresistible. Almost. I personally like Super Malfi, the flower-power smallpox one.

Chewbacca Backpack, Cuddly Without Smelly

1:38AM Mark Wilson | The $40 Chewbacca backpack is what would happen if your MyBuddy grew a pair, took some steroids and helped you conquer the galaxy instead of your backyard. This backpack is a smaller version of your favourite Wookie, stuffable with your favourite books and lightsabers. And seriously, we prefer him to the real thing. Chewbacca seems like a nice (guy?) and all, but the real prospect of living in close quarters with a flee-covered, boisterous and surely odoriferous animal for extended periods of time is about as close to our personal hell as an iconic sci-fi movie has come. And seriously, he has hair everywhere. Not only would a strand end up in a least one bite of every meal, but the possibility that the strand would be fouled with excrement is enough for us to program HAL to just go ahead and lock the pod bay doors during our next space walk.
