Pokémon Characters Fly High In The Sky

I knew Pokémon was an international phenomenon, but did you know that All Nippon Airways (ANA) has Pokémon airplanes? Serving both international and domestic flights, Pokémon jets are plastered with tons of Pokémon characters including Celebi, Plusle, Minun, Deoxys, Torchic, Jirachi, Latios, Latias, Pikachu, and the Gonbe. Featured on Joystiq and Kotaku these colorful airplanes boast flight attendants wearing Pokémon aprons and head rests covered with Pokémon designs. I guess you could say the perfect plane for kids and those who are still young at heart. To check out more pictures, just

Lost & Found Sound Tag - Talking Luggage ID

As far as I’m concerned the Lost & Found Sound Tag is a solution to a problem that already has one. It’s basically a high-tech luggage tag that allows you to record a twenty second message of important info like your name, phone number and anything else you think might help get your bags returned if they go missing.

But as someone who will always choose the high-tech route even I think a standard luggage tag is a far better solution. There’s no batteries to die, no electronics to malfunction and they’re far more likely to survive the ‘TLC’ of an overworked, underpaid baggage handler. And even with a single red button interface I guarantee there will be people with no idea how to make it play back your message. On the plus side though the large yellow cross design will probably stand out on the luggage carousel. That is of course if the tag wasn’t removed before the flight for being a suspicious looking device.

It’s currently available from Taylor Gifts for $14.98.
