[@CamdenBloke]

My mom used to buy me sharper image stuff for Christmas gifts after I got to my 20s and moved out. I appreciated the gesture, but sometimes I felt so bad when I saw how much some of the stuff she got me cost. One Christmas she got me this back-lit CD player/alarm clock that had a kinda interesting lid to open it, I guess it was trying to style itself after the Bang and Olufsen CD players of the time. It was OK, I used it for ambient music now and then, not particularly phenomenal, didn't trust the alarm feature because the clock was buggy. Later, I was in the Sharper Image online catalogue and saw it cost over $100. I couldn't believe that she spent that. :-( She knew that when I was a teen I always used to go into that shop and admire stuff, so, I can see why she would get me stuff from there. edit: I just found the item, it's called the Blue Night CD Stereo and was $109. You can google image search it.

Richard Thalheimer, the original founder of TSI, used to personally appear in the as for the featured item. The most ridiculous item that I remember The Sharper Image carrying was a half male fully dressed and articulated mannequin that you were supposed to set up in your house (much like Kevin Macalister faking the Christmas Party in Home Alone) so would be intruders will be scared away since you are not “alone”.

I can to some extent understand the idea behind offline, non-digital password storage, the first rule of computer security is that nothing is 100% secure. But, like, maybe just use a notebook? If someone can get access to that notebook, my first concern isn't my Gmail password, it's that someone's in my home that isn't supposed to be.

I guess a physical password device like that would work well for older people who may find that easier compared to software and cloud syncing. Bit overpriced though.

I miss Sharper Image stores. As a kid, I would sit in one of the massage chairs for a couple hours as my mom shopped in the rest of the mall.

But on the bright side, you can always apply to become a retailer for them yourself!

[@HaydenX]

I've owned one thing from The Sharper Image in my entire life. It was a Newton's Cradle, only each of the balls were a different color so it was a rainbow balls momentum thing. It was purchased for me as a gift by someone who probably realized that I wasn't straight before I came out as bi/pan. It was $59.99. It was well made, and a regular silver one that is well made will run you $40 from what I can tell...so it was kind of unique and had a 50% tax for it. Honestly...it was way better value than anything on this video, assuming you want a rainbow Newton's Cradle.

It feels like a lot of the stuff they sell are good representations of things that.. while more expensive (most of the time), also work for the intended purpose they're designed, unlike sharper images copies. The billion dollar art gallery thumbstick is a great representation of this. The thumbstick reminds me of coffee table books, but it fails in capturing the entire point of coffee table books.. coffee table books are meant to be accessible quick, and to provide something pleasing to look at for 5 minutes while you wait for something; all of the art only being accessible when plugged into a device, and the fact it's just a small slab of metal to look at defeats the coffee table books purpose.
