That sounds kinda pathetic, doesn’t it? Who takes pictures of themselves when they’re alone? HAH! I can name more than 10 people who do! Come on, you have to admit it – sometimes, you just feel like playing with your digital camera and uploading those narcissistic pictures onto Facebook or your blog.
Okay, maybe not [...]

Andy just posted something about the Walkman’s 30th anniversary and guess what that got me doing? I had to dig up some old boxes in an effort to find my old Walkman! Yes, I still have it! After spending a good part of an hour trying to locate it, I was more [...]

So which is it? How do you pluralize “mouse,” the peripheral that you attach to your computer? I cannot count the number of times that this argument has come up at the office. In a room full of English teachers, you can just imagine the kind of debate that happens. Anyhow, either [...]

This one doesn’t need much of commentary. It made me laugh though. $25.

Happy 30th birthday Sony Walkman. You might’ve lost out a lot to the iPod but I’ll never forget your chunky cassette playing ’80s magic or your “can’t play the last track on a really full CD” Discman.
So, by way of small celebration here are ten images inspired by your greatness.
1. Hard-wired SonyEricsson Walkman phone. [...]

Here’s a really interesting concept design for a dock and speaker for the original iPod Shuffle.

Designed by Rhea Jeong and inspired by water droplets and musical notation, it has a tumbler toy built in to the base meaning that it will always self right itself.

Hommage is a unique creation by reaver, who has several robot inspired items in his Etsy store. Hommage is a humanoid transforming in to a jet plane and is 17″ when standing. The original piece is currently on display in the Arkansas Arts Center in Little Rock, Arkansas. If you have $2.000 over you can [...]

Awesome mod of an iPod Mini. I must say this is probably the nicest iPod Mini mod I’ve seen so far, almost as beautiful as Joel Scilly’s wooden turntables.
My finished wood ipod mini. This has been such a fun project for me. It’s handmade (with special thanks to my 8yr old dremel) from Australian red [...]

I am a big fan of alternative ways to charge up gadgets like phones and mp3 players. While you can try as hard as you can to always make sure that your toy is charged, there are simply times when you forget to do it. This should not be a problem if you [...]

How many gadgets do you bring with you every day? The chances are that you have your phone – maybe two of them, your GPS, your iPod, and more. If you drive your car, you wouldn’t want to leave these things behind, but it can also be tedious to keep track of them [...]

So now we know what Mario looks like with different moustaches, it’s time to combine our love for the Italian-American plumber and USB with these Mario themed memory sticks.
All with 4GB storage, we have Mario, Shroom, Goomba, Koopa, and the Mario question mark (which is actually a USB extender). There used to be a Luigi [...]

Nifty Knits on Folksy is specialized in knitting meerkats. Her latest creation, Meertreks, is collection of awesome meerkats dressed as Trekkies. At £22 rather expensive but cool nevertheless.

Oversized jewelry as we know it from the rappers scene has never really interested me, but things get different when you add Space Invaders to the mix. We are long term fans of the Space Invaders and anything with one of the best computer games all time will make us smile.
But oversized rappers bling? Yes, [...]

Smoking is such a dirty habit, and I have heard one smoker too many say that they wish they’d never started picked up the habit in the first place. Then again, smoking is not that easy to drop. Many have tried and many have failed as well. In spite of the fact [...]

One of Sony’s “worst kept secrets” was finally confirmed during Sony press conference at the recently held Electronic Entertainment Expo.
