The Elecom Ultimate Laser Mouse lets you fiddle with a Windows 8 touchpanel. Because some people don’t want touchpanels, dangit. It’s ￥8515 though, about $88 currently. Ouch. Do people actually pay that much for a mouse?

I’ve never heard of anybody actually having a popcorn machine in their house, but you could, right? If you wanted to, you could pick this one up at Target for $130. It’s not as easy as the microwave kind, because you have to actually measure out the kernels, oil, and salt, but that’s how you make the tasty popcorn anyway.

A new dentist has opened up in Tokyo called Heart Dental Clinic, and it’s entirely pink and Hello Kitty-fied! I’m moving to Tokyo in a month, not to Koto-ku where this is located, but perhaps I will try to get over there and check it out for myself. See more pictures at this Kotaku article.

This is important.

There’s a big flap going on about the Komen Foundation right now, and how they are cutting off funding for groups “under investigation” which is code for Planned Parenthood. Of course, PP is only under investigation because it’s been targeted by right-wing groups, but Komen doesn’t want to do the dirty work of figuring that out, they just believe whatever they’re being told by conservatives. And although they’re trying to fix the bad publicity, they’re still a little shady about whether they’re actually going to be funding PP without political agendas getting in the way.

Women’s health is important. Planned Parenthood supports women’s health. Millions of women nationwide would be unable to receive ob/gyn services without them. They are a major provider of breast cancer screenings in the United States. America needs Planned Parenthood.

We don’t need the Susan G. Komen foundation, though. And although they make a lot of awesome pink stuff, there’s plenty more that doesn’t come from them. Check out this awesome design for an example, or this bumper sticker. Those don’t support PP directly, though. If you’d like to do that, stop by their website.

Women’s health is more important than pink stuff.

These are the awesome shoes I dream of when I see little girl running around in pink sequined shoes. It’s hard to find the perfect little-girl shoe in big-girl sizes, but this is pretty close! And Toms seem to be really popular, so I assume they are also super comfortable. I wish these weren’t $65…no way I can afford them. (The cheapest Toms shoes are $55, but they don’t seem to come in pink from what I can tell.) Anyway, for those of you who buy them, feel good knowing that making these your 20th pair of shoes will also get a child in need his or her very first pair.

I’m sharing this infographic for two reasons. First, because Toms shoes has totally awesome pink glitter canvas shoes – which I’ll post separately in a moment. Having pink glitter in your product line makes you awesome. And second, because Toms does amazing things. As you read through this infographic, take note of what they’re doing around the world: they’re making life more livable.
