Saying Anything Apparently Still Works
Starring John Cusack as John Cusack in Say Anything… Again! But this time around, he’s got some new tools in his shed. For one thing, record stores are all obsolete. Wait, I think I’m confusing Say Anything with High Fidelity. Dammit, I hate when John Cusack movies start bleeding together. This trick isn’t for everybody, as you’ll have to figure out how to somehow teach your software how to evolve into hardware, or maybe you can just jack into the... Continue reading
Stereo or Skateboard?
Oh, wait. Yeah, sorry. It’s a skateboard deck with a boombox painted on the bottom. Boy do I feel like a dumbass. At $60, it was hard to tell since both are priced accordingly. Link [via]

R2D2 Boombox Brings The Jams, Wookies
R2DJ, RJD2, R2D2 – whatever your poison, you gotta respect the original droid. This boombox is crafted to look like R2D2, except there’s no midget inside controlling it. Unfortunately, it’s a non-working model, effectively shattering your dreams of a Death Star breakdance competition. Link
LEGO Electronics
Your kids will be going crazy later this year, as LEGO will be coming out with its own line of consumer electronics such as digital cameras, walkie talkies and a whole lot more. Electronics company Digital Blue will partner with LEGO to create the devices, which will feature design that draws from LEGO bricks. You won’t be able to break apart your digicam or USB drive, but it’ll still look like you built it yourself. Word is that LEGO is... Continue reading
Boombox Nostalgia Porn
High-tech music players are alright, but they’re not nearly as cool as vintage ghetto blasters. Old-school boomboxes were made for sound as well as stylin’ and profilin’. An iPod may be able to hold thousands of songs, but you’ll look like an idiot trying to roll around carrying one on your shoulder. To celebrate the beauty of the vintage boombox, photographer Lyle Owerko made the Boombox Project, a collection of photos of 80′s and 90′s radios. After the jump, check... Continue reading
Reppo II Backpack Boombox Thumps Your Spine Into Bass Submission
Not for those with severe scoliosis, the Reppo II Backpack Boombox from designer Joonas Saaranen packs in a pair of full-range speakers and an amplifier for jamming to tunes as you stroll around campus, as well as providing everyone around you with a bass-induced migraine. Needs more sub-woofer (and cowbell). So far, Saaranen has gotten as far as creating a functional prototype for the Reppo II, yet has no comment on whether he plans on pursuing a mass-production of the... Continue reading
Logic3 i-Station Traveler takes note out of iPod book
The new i-Station Traveler made by Logic3 is one small boombox; one very small boombox. This new speaker set is perfect travel companion for all those mp3 players out there, especially the Nano. This is because Logic3 was sticking with its iPod love (i-Station?) and are coming out with colors that match the colors of iPod Nanos. These speakers also follow suit with the Nano in that they are absolutely tiny. However, if you couldn’t afford a Nano, have no... Continue reading
SpeckTone Retro gives the Apple Hi-Fi a one-two punch right to the subwoofer
How many of you have the new Apple Hi-Fi? Really? Probably not too many. While it looks nice, it carries a price tag just about as large as the actual stereo. Apple describes it as having a “clean, compact design”. It is clean, but it’s far too big, even if it sounds amazing. Speck Products has released their SpeckTone Retro that fixes both the size and price problems. Its sleek design can compete with the best (ie. Apple), while contrasting... Continue reading
Meet Miuro: The boombox that acts like your nagging sibling
Miuro never leaves you alone. It will follow you until your within an inch of your life, and then it will just follow you more. Though, if you have come accustomed to listening to your iPod on a dock system, but have a tendancy to not be in one place long enough to enjoy a complete song, the Miuro might not be as annoying as it sounds. The robotic boombox is controlled through a remote control where you can command... Continue reading
