Summer is just around the corner, and office workers are starting to don their lighter "cool biz" clothing in order to beat the heat. Japanese gadget-maker Cube Works (you may know them from the infamous humping dog USB stick) has rolled out a series of cute little fans to help you stay chilled.
The Fun-Fan is currently available in four varieties: a blue elephant, a brown dog, a white bear, and a panda. The fan blades are affixed to the tail, and the animal peers back over its shoulder as if to check if you're enjoying the breeze. I should point out that there is something a little unusual about enjoying the wind emitted from a dog's behind. At least, from personal experience with my own dog, I prefer to impose a certain distance — depending on what he has recently eaten — if I hope to retain some level of comfort.
The fan gets power via your computer's USB port (compatible with any operating system), and there's a handy switch around the front where you can turn it on and off. The Fun-Fan comes with a 90cm connection cable, and is mounted on a tilting arm as well just in case you find you need to adjust the angle. Of course, while this is a very cute way to keep yourself cool this summer, you should always be responsible about your power consumption, particularly this year.
