GEEK TOY: USB HAMSTER IN A WHEEL

by Hazed

If your job makes you feel like you're running very fast and not getting anywhere, just like a hamster in a wheel, here's a little toy that provides a visual expression of your effort: it's a hamster in a wheel that you plug into the USB port of the computer, with software that monitors your typing - the faster you type, the faster the hamster runs.

It's available from one of those gadget web sites in the UK called "I Want One Of Those" - and it's very well named because I do want one of these. The USB hamsters cost £24.95, which is approximately $45.
