Well, first I need an iPad, and then I’ll have a reason to pick up this nifty, nostalgia-inducing little accoutrement. Also, check out the camera hole! Foreshadowing, perhaps? Available from Headcase [$39.00]. Check out a bunch more product shots after the jump. (Thanks, Will!)

Having covered his pop anatomies multiple times previously, it’s safe to say we’re huge fans of New York City-based artist Jason Freeny. His latest creation is this 4″ vinyl internal anatomy sculpture of the titular character from Finding Nemo, which he’ll be auctioning off on eBay this coming Wednesday (September 13). Thanks to our good friend Jeremy Brautman over on Neon Monster, we now know that Freeny’s last auction fetched him over $1,000 for his dissected Icebat Uglydoll, meaning deep pockets will be definitely be necessary to snatch up Nemo. Freeny has also given the same treatment to the Toy Story alien, which you can see after the jump.

Once again, we must tip our hats to the mad geniuses (and our good friends) over at Thinkgeek. They have won the X-Prize of unnecessary iPad accessories with the iCade, a real-life iPad dock that doubles as an old school arcade. It works in conjunction with an iCade app that includes hundreds old standards like Donkey Kong, QBert and Dig Dug in addition to a Super Mario riff called Super Steve Bros, featuring Steve Jobs and Segway-riding Steve Wozniak as the eponymous heroes. Yours for the low low price of $149. *Update Turns out the iCade was an April Fool’s joke (just like Thinkgeek’s infamous canned Unicorn Meat). Thanks to the astute reader who actually hit the buy button for letting us know we got punked. Heads will roll!
These bullet train chopsticks are the second coolest Asian-food-eating utensils I’ve ever seen. The first is here. Pick up a set from Japanese retailer JBOX for 8 bucks.
