Retro NES Skin Turns Your Wii Retro

When it comes down to it, I never quite “got over” my original NES console. No matter what system I might play for a few months or even years, and trust me, I’ve played quite a few different consoles in my day, I always come back to the original. Maybe it has something to do with the memories of comfort that spring up once I see that iconic NES design. Forget all that fancy pants case modification, I’m down with gray, black and red. If that’s the case, I now can play my Wii with the same added comfort.

The Retro NES Wii Skin turns your modern console-ing experience into something akin to nostalgia. You can grab your own for $15.

Google Rubik’s Cube

It’s crazy. Google owns enough major real estate to easily fill up a Rubik’s cube with major tech logos. I mean, Google is, like, a really big deal. And not only that, some of my favorite brands period are represented. You’ve got Google major, you’ve got Blogger, Gmail, Google Calendar. They’ve built themselves quite a little empire, if you haven’t noticed.

I might be more into this cube than the standard Rubik’s fare, just for the sheer fact that the pretty logos could probably keep my attention longer than plain old colors. My attention span really is that bad.

Absurdly dorky and utterly useless? Perhaps. But it’s what could have been that really counts in this case.

Battery Snaps Are All Battery

If it got much simpler, there would be nothing to see. Snap a 9v battery right into the LED light snapper doodad and press the button on top to turn on the light. Voila, instant glowiness.

I guess you hold the Battery Snap by the base of the battery. Something about that just doesn’t seem safe to me. Just always use fresh batteries. If the battery is sticky, it’s probably not a good idea. Unless your using a liquid-powered battery. And for $4.99, you won’t find a much cheaper light source, especially if you want to delve into more exotic designs, such as the Sputnik Lamp.

Map Envelopes are Even Better Than Postcards

The MapEnvelop project prints your current location inside of your letter’s envelope. A postcard might be able to project a certain image or feel of the general area in which you are, but it’s sort of decieving since it’s not really an exact science. Especially if you throw a few alien robots into the scene.

The MapEnvelop on the other hand is much more direct. Pointing out your exact location wherever you are in the civilized world. There’s no hiding anything through the wonders of satellite imagery.
