Portable Blu-ray Super Multi Drive

Are you still looking for a Blu-ray player? Vince already told you that a PlayStation 3 is the way to go. What? You don’t have four hundred bucks? Sheesh. Bummer. I guess the $289 Portable Blu-ray Super Multi Drive will have to suffice. While it’s not as “super” as the PS3 at playing video games, it can burn DVDs and play your favorite Blu-ray movies on the New MacBook, Pro and Air. That is, if you have favorites.

If only you had a couple extra bucks. You’d be able to get something that looks nothing like a cigarette case, plays the latest video games and Blu-ray discs but is about as portable as a skip. That’s where this multi drive shines, portability. It might look like a fake piece of shit, but it’s a fake piece of shit that’s going places.

The Cream Of The Steampunk Crop

Filed under: Design, Household

We’ve been looking for some steampunk gear to match our new headphones and cane for a while now. Thanks to WETA’s steampunk raygun, the set is complete and I am now an official member of the Wild Wild West 2 movie crew. It’s called the “The Unnatural Selector - A Ray-Blunderbuss from Dr Grordbort’s,” and does little more than hang on your wall, looking pretty. Of course, you could always dismount it and run a muck wreaking havoc on unsuspecting foes.

Before you get in to any mischief, you’ll have to put a mortgage on your house because this thing goes from $4,500 to $7,900 dollars depending on what edition you settle with. Why so much? Despite all the detail put into this thing, it’ll also have your name engraved on it. Now, that’s cool.

The Scopeclock: Time In A Tube

Ever have a cathode ray tube blow up in your face? You poor soul. With your disfigured mug, there’s little that could possibly cheer you up. After all, if I looked like the Two-Face I’d probably throw myself from a pier. This clock is sure to remind you of that terrible day your face became disfigured. That or your days as a Captain in the Navy.

A cathode ray tube sits inside a transparent acrylic tube. It might look like the guts of your old monitor but in actuality it is a clock that displays various formats of time thanks to a SC200 clock board. Nixie enthusiast David Forbes is eager to sell these works of art for an eye-gouging $999.  The intricate design shows an astounding amount of commitment thrown in that’ll complement any mantle.
