Caboose

I decided to treat myself to an early Christmas present, a SonyEricsson Bluetooth-controlled car:

In the picture you can see it plugged into my phone to charge. There’s no need for (yet another) charger because it sucks power from the same phone you use to steer it. The red light indicates that it’s charging and status messages pop up on the phone’s display.

It’s utterly frivolous and stupid but it has cheered me up no end after being miserable with a cold all week. The cat doesn’t seem to know what to make of it but spent a happy ten minutes chasing it around the kitchen floor.
