While this doesn’t really qualify as a techie gadget or a video game, I came across this quirky game and thought it was just too good to pass up.
Instead of knocking over some ordinary pins with this bowling game, you knock over a bunch of little plastic lawn gnomes. The set comes with 6 colorful plastic garden gnomes (10-inches tall each) and a couple of bright plastic bowling balls (one blue, one red) to knock ‘em down with.
While you could sneak around your block stealing your neighbors’ lawn ornaments and bowling them down with a regular bowling ball, this set lets you gnome bowl without breaking any laws. You can grab the set over on I Want One of Those for about $50.

If you’re sick of playing bowling on the Wii and heading to the nearest bowling alley seems like too much work, why not enjoy a bowling alley in your home? You’ve seen it in movies and on TV. The show Las Vegas comes to mind. YOU can now have a custom bowling alley in your home too.
United Bowling is a Florida based company that will install a 2 lane, regulation length bowling alley in your home. It will have genuine AMF and Brunswick equipment. Of course, you’ll need an area that’s 88 feet long, 12 feet wide with a 10 foot ceiling. If that’s a problem just knock down a wall. There’s got to be something you don’t need. At $88,000 it’s not a cheap, but you could always charge your friends to play.

So the Samsung A747 for AT&T is finally here, ‘cept it’s not the A747. Instead, the slim clamshell has been appropriately christened the “SLM.” Think of the SLM as a juiced version of the also very thin A717, carrying over the 2 megapixel cam and attractive brushed metal exterior while adding a much larger 96 x 96 external display and support for Napster Mobile — a first for AT&T. Get the SLM beginning November 23 for $150 after a $50 rebate on a two-year contract.

Motorola has apparently decided that the stripped-down, low-end market of the mobile phone industry was being neglected, and today they’ve announced a slew of new, totally regular handsets: the W156, W160, W206, W213, W165, W180, and W377. Just how regular are these things, you ask? Well, let’s just say at least one of them actually has a black-and-white display. It seriously looks like Motorola had to clear out some backstock of old parts, but what do we know? Here’s a breakdown of the new models and their “features” — see if you can spot the trends:
- W156 / W160: Candybar form-factor, 128 x 128 black-and-white display, 20K onboard memory, quad-band GSM, FM radio (W160 only), speakerphone, 590 minutes of talk time, 465 hours of standby
- W175 / W180: Candybar form-factor, 65K 128 x 128 display, 70K onboard memory, quad-band GSM, FM radio (W180 only), 590 minutes of talk time, 465 hours of standby
