A while ago we showed off the prototype/demo for the All-Seeing Eye, and from the positive response it got we decided to bring it back as An Actual Thing. We even mounted it to a DragonTail, and let it go for a spin around the office. Check it out:

We briefly toyed with the idea of releasing a simplified version of it, called the "Sees-a-Lot-of-Stuff-but-Not-Quite-Everything-Eye", but it just didn't roll off the tongue the same way. Oh well. You can check out the All-Seeing Eye below, along with a couple more new items for the week.

Two sensor modules, two LCDs. I'm sure there's some kind of joke in there waiting to be made, but I can't quite figure it out. So instead, I'm going to go and pour some maple syrup onto my bifocals.

...Hrm. You know that it's the end of a long week when something seems funny inside your head and nowhere else.

PIMP YO' SUMO!
