Hmm. This USB stick isn’t at all my taste but it strikes me as an excellent joke present for someone – or, perhaps, a statement to make on the office desk. It’s the way the mouth appendage bobs back and forth that makes this alien that degree of speshal. It lights up too.
Transformers USB stick – that transforms
Got to admit it; I thought I was so tired of Transformers stuff (I blame the attempted films squarely for that) but this rather cool gadget has raised my interest. It’s a USB stick. It actually transforms. Okay, okay, it’s a Decepitcon but some people actually prefer that. It’s sold by Mertline for American money.
Infinite USB ports
Designer Gonglue Jiang should be happy with himself. His design for Infinite USB has done well with the if Online Exhibition and picked up a prize for the concept. I see the need. I’m always running out of USB slots. I’m no electronics guru but is there a risk that the power reduces with each […]
An introduction to inflatable spacecraft
“You can think of it as going from a pencil to a coke can after expansion,” says one of the experts promoting the idea of inflatable spacecraft. No prizes for guessing that the next question from the lips of the New scientist reporter is, “Is it safe?” Turns out, the argument is, that inflatable fabric […]
Cyute metal spiders
Imagine the scene – you’ve absolutely no idea what to get your best friend’s wife for her birthday. Not an unlikely scene, no? You have to get her something. But what? Why not some awfully cute metal spiders from the ArtOfMetal? I think they’re too cute to fail!
Happy toast is happy
Okay, okay – so the design of this prototype has been thoroughly bashed. Glass is a rubbish conductor of heat. The design notes from Xu Yan Xiang talk about an “electric-heating nano-membrane”, rather than glass, as a way to achieve the heat transfer but the experts have been bashing that as future-tech too. Not sure […]
Fork phone – cutlery for your iPhone
Someone at a more popular blog than this one (erm, which doesn’t narrow it down much at all! ;)) suggested this might be the cutest cutlery based iPhone holder you’re every likely to see. I think they might be right! The best part is that it’s dead cheap (well, it’s currently dead cheap) and you […]
Freaky crawling robot is a freak
This rather freaky crawling robot is actually performance art. I think that this provides even more evidence that performance art and freakiness are just inches a part on the same scale of measurement. Watch out for the nurse. Not only is she part of the performance art she is the performance artist. This means it […]
iPad prices for the UK leaked? £389, £439 and £489
The folks over at Geeky Gadgets reckon they’ve got accurate UK prices for Apple’s iPad. The site’s tip-off claims that the base 16GB WiFi iPad will be available for £389, the 32GB WiFi model will be available for £439 and the 64GB WiFi model will be available for £489. As expected that would make the […]
Darth Vader Alarm Clock
It pays to wake up in style. A good start to the day will carry you through until bed time. What constitutes a good start to the day? What about a Star Wars morning? What about a “wake up or be throttled by the dark side of the Force” alarm? Excellent! Just what you needed. […]
