Back in the day you either sat in a cube in front of a computer and secretly looked at porn while your boss was off playing golf with some trophy wife by his side (whom I totally didn’t have sex with, by the way) or you worked with your hands, wrist deep in shit or half-dead from back pain. As time goes on, the line between blue and while collar work has become increasingly thin. Computer engineers particularly require skills of both styles.

This awesome LT-XL Portable Office bag is made with the sky blue worker in mind, splitting the bag into the hardcore tool side, and the slightly less hardcore office supply side. You can also store a laptop and other delicate electronics right in the same bag as you keep assorted screwdrivers, which really cuts down on the man power. One less bag equals more arm room for other important shit.

For $147.72, audiophiles have another excuse to spend an exuberant amount of money on a “cryogenically-treated, gold-plated” doodad. And the vendor is 100% serious about their “audio grade” label, even going as far as trademarking the term.

But hey, it’s sooo worth it for the perfect sonic experience. Or so the product commenters will have you believe. Apparently “behind acoustic treatment, AC power is the second most under-invested aspect of home theater.” Well, I’ll be. You people will spend money on anything won’t you?

While Thomas Marriot is convinced that his Lightweight iPhone case will one day be the end of the wallet, I don’t see this case becoming a wallet killer. It just doesn’t offer enough space. Great, it can hold a credit card or two, but what about spare cash? What about the 10 receipts I have stuck in my wallet at any given time? Or my supermarket discount cards?

Sure, this is a handy tool, but let’s call it what it is; a convenient, lightweight case that has a credit card holder slot. Wallet killer? Not so much.

The Mattress Wallet not only holds your money, but also provides that mouse in your pocket with a great place to sleep.

Don’t feel like spending the rest of your life in prison? Then you’d best leave that “Do Not Remove Under Penalty of Law” tag exactly where it is, even if it does bulge from your pocket. What’s with those tags anyway? I bet it’s some tracking device. Can’t they let me live in peace? LEAVE ME ALONE! THE VOICES! THEY WON’T STOP! AHHH!

Up until recently, meteorologists used a combo of  ground weather sensors, weather balloons, satellite imagery and computer calculations to determine the current weather conditions and future forecast for your location.

AirDat uses wallet-sized sensors, attached to commercial jets, to deliver some of the most accurate weather forecasts ever presented. Covering more ground than ever before, AirDat can deliver specific local specs, rather than regional conditions. AirDat already has 160 sensor-equipped planes making daily flights out of 225 airports across all 50 states with 320 more planes on the way.

Keeping your condoms in your wallet isn’t always the smartest thing to do. Sure, it provides quick access whenever you might need one, but the constant folding and battering of the wallet is sure to cause some leakage issues. And that just isn’t going to work.

This concept Belt Buckle design includes a special hidden sliding compartment made to hold your condoms. The Belt Buckle clips on to any belt and ensures your always prepared, whether it be at home or a public toilet.

If you’re a little embarrassed to be lugging around a brand new iPhone, even though all of your other gear is vintage-core, this VHS Tape iPhone Case will help disguise your device as a piece of retro tech history.

The real painful part is going to be transferring all of your contacts to DVD once you wise up to the times. Grab yours for $25 from Etsy.

Start praying, right now, that your boss is a gamer. Because if not, your Banpresto Famicon Controller Business Card Holder might not have the impression you were hoping for.

Needless to say, this case isn’t going to work for every career. Lawyers and doctors would likely be better off with a nice leather case, or at least something with a bit more class. But if you’re in the tech, internet or art industry, I don’t see why you can’t rock this like the Rolling Stones rocked Altamont.

I hate to dis on the red dude, but let’s be honest, Elmo has always carried a little extra weight. That’s what makes him so ticklish and cuddly. Well it seems that Elmo is sick of the fat jokes.

The USB Crunching Elmo allows you to plug Sesame Street’s favorite little fat boy into your USB port so Elmo can get his workout. I see a future Christmas bestseller in the making. To be honest, I thought this was something much more explicit at first.

Credit cards don’t mean much these days. For awhile they were so easy to get and use, despite your financial situation, that they have become a second currency, albeit a worthless one. Made using thousands of credit cards, freecards, discount carts and gift cards, the Credit Card Rainbow displays the varied colors of debt, in all of its majesty.

Commissioned by Graphic Design Museum in Breda, the Netherlands, the rainbow will be on display until September 2009. So, this is how worthless our credit system has become. But hey, at least it’s pretty! Close-ups after the jump.
