Half iPod case, half notepad and all business sums up this $27 dollar iPod Nano 3G peripheral from Scripta. Whenever I’m in a Vic Mackey kind of mood, I know this case will come in handy. It helps me keep tabs on my informants and trust me, I have a lot of them*.

Whether it’s keeping track of incriminating evidence that will lead to some poor schmucks’ citizens arrest or compiling a grocery list of all the munchies I need to stock up on, this case suits me well. Yes, that’s right — this iPod case is great for stoners as well as sleuths.

* – I do not actually have any informants :\

Personally, I haven’t seen Eepybird.com’s Diet Coke and Mentos videos but they’re apparently really spectacular. Now, in a move that will equally please, the duo behind the Mentos gags are messing with Post-it notes. How many to be exact? 280,951. All “submitting to gravity” in the truest sense. Watch in awe and enjoy. What a great experiment. I had no idea a Post-it note was so Slinky-like.

Seems the brains up in Massachusetts have done it again. MIT has taken an ordinary household object and transformed it into the coolest experimental toy on the planet. Case in point are Quickies, which are essentially Post-It Notes that feed the written information on them back to a computer. The computer then interprets the text or image drawn on the note and adds a digitized version to the proper location. So if you write down a TODO note, it’ll automatically get added to iCal, Google Calender, etc.

The above video does more justice than words can. You don’t even need audio, so view it when your boss is busy in the can.
