Just when you thought you’ve seen it all, in comes Geargripper. The foam padded place to put all the crap you have in your pockets onto when you get home from work. No sir, an end table just won’t do anymore. PDA, cellphone, your watch, you name it; Geargripper can grip it! The padding is soft, so it won’t scratch a thing, but if you try to unravel its design and make a mouse pad out of it, well that’s just a terrible mouse pad at the price of $8.
Alliteration aside, the Bluetrek Bizz is looking to blend the world of USB devices and Bluetooth headsets. It’s a Bluetooth headset combined with a USB drive that accepts microSD cards for storage (thus turning it into a microSD card reader as well.)
While it may not be as fashionable as other Bluetooth devices, it gets the job done and the extra functionality it packs makes it worthwhile. Scoop one up for $55 or rob a Best Buy. I wouldn’t recommend the latter.
If you’re driving any car that’s older than ‘96 (like myself), then chances are you’re living in the past and sporting a cassette stereo system. Well, instead of bumping to your Ace of Base mix tape from 1993, you could always go wireless with the Flexii Bluetooth Cassette Adapter.
Who would’ve thought? A cassette tape capable of Bluetooth technology. The adapter connects with Bluetooth cell phone or other Bluetooth-enabled devices such as mp3 players, PDAs or a PC. You can even receive phone calls via car radio and enjoy high quality music over the stereo, as well as receive phone calls hands free. Groovy.
My birthday was on Tuesday and I got about three musical cards this year. Though they were good for a short laugh, I felt bad that my siblings had spent $5 on a card just because it looped a sound over and over again. Luckily, Justin from Instructables has come up with a way to turn your useless birthday card into a sweet speaker for your MP3 player.
Essentially, you’ll be dismantling the card and wiring it up to a pair of headphones. Once that’s done, you’ll do a little cutting, wiring and next thing you know, you’ll be the proud new owner of a piece-of-shit speaker. Congratulations! It’s DIY!
External hard drives never really become a personal affair. For the most part, we buy them to add additional storage to our computers because we just downloaded 100GB of pornography off a Bit Torrent site. Rather than have our OS slow to a crawl and our storage shrink to the size of an appendix, we simply copy all the tits and dicks over and our objective is fulfilled.
However, not everyone in this world is a complete slob and I hear some people actually have clean, organized PC setups. That’s where Hardbox comes in. It’s a beautiful looking hard drive enclosure that resembles a book written by Dracula himself. It takes any 3.5″ SATA hard disk and uses the fake pages as a heat-sink to eliminate the need for a fan. Hooks up via USB and can be yours for $300.
I enjoy biking as much as any young guy does but I have to admit, I don’t like to multitask whilst riding around my block. After all, using a phone on a bike is just begging for it to get broken or crushed unless it’s a specially designed device. This Bike Mount for the iPhone renews these fears of breaking an expensive cellphone.
Only thing is, the iPhone has some fantastic applications and Google Maps immediately comes to mind. This Bike Mount will hold your iPhone or iPod carefully in place until you reach your destination and for only $15 to boot. Just make sure you don’t get hit by a crazy bitch driving an ATV or your phone is toast.
If you have a job where interviewing is as common as an Obama “Hope” ad campaign and you just so happen to always have your laptop on you, you might find the Narae Recorder Mini right up your alley. Finally, a reason to get rid of that old digital recorder you’ve never used (unless it also does video.)
The Narae Recorder Mini is insanely small. It plugs into any standard mic jack and doesn’t stick out more than 3″ max. Don’t let its small size fool you, as the Bluetooth wannabe recorder can record sounds up to 32 feet away. This makes it a great gadget for recording people who don’t know they’re being record. Lawsuit? Blackmail? Espionage? This thing’s got more uses than meets the eye!
Sex-deprived geeks everywhere will be turning their heads toward Kevin Alderman’s wireless, consumer-level motion-capture suit that should be hitting shelves in 2009. For those who don’t know Kevin, he is the creative genius behind the sexual emotes found in the “massively-multiplayer-online-game” known as Second Life.
Kevin Alderman is in desperate need of some new sexual animations and needs the assistance of Second Life subscribers. With the help of this electronic rock climbing gear, players will be able to contribute sex animations to any virtual world of their choice. Add your own saucy moves to the net! Just have fun with it!
Those of you who recently bought a new iMac are probably in love with it. However, I think you’ll agree that unplugging and plugging in USB devices left and right can become a pain in the ass. Enter the LowKey Stand, a stand that matches the iMac in both looks and usability.
On the front, you’ll find room to store that brushed aluminum keyboard as well as a 4-port USB hub. Having those extra USB ports in the front will prove a lifesaver for those of you with one too many cocks. The only downfall with the LowKey Stand is that it can support 35 pounds max, so don’t go throwing your CRT monitor on there. $60 and it’s yours.
I’m loving the look of this laptop bag from BUILT, an small NYC-based company. Part carrying case, part kevlar vest, the Laptop Backpack is made from lightweight Neoprene that keeps your precious Macbook Air secure and safe. No word if it has room for a huge Apple AC adaptor but if you’re in a pinch, you can easily downsize.
BUILT included three pockets for your doo-dads and Nintendo DS, so you should have a decent amount of space for such a thin-looking bag. Score one for $80 or keep using that bag you got at Whole Foods.
