R2D2 USB Hub
Via Geeky Gadgets Over the past few months I’ve become incredibly aware of all the Star Wars memorobilia that exists out there– to think as a child I was content merely with promotional toys and books. This R2D2 custom USB hub joins the ranks of the r2d2 lunch box, C3PO alarm clock, and Darth Vadar [...]
Space Invaders Vase
Via Boing Boing Gadgets Now it might seem like a stretch that a custom vase could possibly be geeky, but take a look: the one up front features Space Invaders, while the one in the back left has Hello Kitty on it. I don’t know if a geeky enough plant exists to be put in [...]
Geeky Grilling
Via Gizmodo These tongs are pretty neat– they have a built-in thermometer that lets you know if you’re meat is the right temperature or not. While it’s certainly not what one would consider a unique product, since grilling forks like this have been around for awhile, it’s still pretty useful.
THE.COOLEST.PEN.EVER.
Via Geekologie Seriously, this is the coolest pen ever– even if it’s still only in the conceptual stage. This pen allows you to scan whatever color you want, and then it mixes the ink so that you can write in it. Clearly, it is a superior writing instrument. It’s almost like a computer! Pretty soon [...]
Polaroids!
Via Nerd Approved I absolutely adore these custom picture frames designed to look like Polaroids. They double as dry erase boards, so you can really let your creativity flow. Now you can have all the fun of a Polaroid without having to buy the camera or expensive film.
Baby Link!
Via Geekologie Craftster user UpKnitCreek created this custom costume of Link, the protagonist of the popular NES game Zelda, for a friend’s baby shower. This may be the most adorable baby apparel I’ve ever seen. There’s even a little belt that can hold its bottle for all its little adventures! So precious.
DJ Hero
Via Game Life This is slightly mind-blowing to me– Activision, the makers of the popular Guitar Hero, have come up with a spin-off game: DJ Hero. I kid you not; above is the turntable you need to play the game (it also comes with a nice carrying case, which is not pictured). Don’t ask me [...]
The History of the Apple Logo
Apple is one of the most recognized brands in the world, thanks to its iconic logo. People even love it enough to get it tattooed on themselves! I stumbled upon this interview on Creative Bits with Rob Janoff, the designer of the logo, which provides a lot of interesting insights into how the logo was [...]
Splitter Keychain Robot
Via Geeky Gadgets By day, this cute little robot is nothing but a unique keychain, but by night he turns into a splitter– you can plug two pairs of headphones into his eyes so two people can listen to the same mp3 player at once. He looks more like a promotional toy than a high [...]
