There's no denying the new, teeny-tiny iPod shuffle is great for working out, but its lack of a screen and additional features doesn't always make it the ideal player for a serious athlete.

This concept for a wearable MP3 player by Nathan Davis serves to solve some of the slipping and skipping issues brought up with larger sports players.

It has a silicone band that lets you wear it on your arm or wrist, and it has an OLED display housed underneath a layer of polycarbonate. The screen slides up to reveal transport controls, and sound is transmitted to Bluetooth headphones. On the outer edge of the player is a jog wheel (with bumps), which is a tactile sensitive ring that can be rotated in either direction. This jog wheel controls the tracking of the song or the volume. The user can switch between volume and tracking mode via the button on the outside. There is no headphone jack. The player would use Bluetooth technology, eliminating the tangled mess of wires that conventional headphones have but adding to the sensation that you feel like you aren't even wearing a music player.

• Let's face it, geek isn't always chic. Some men and women pull off the cute geeky shirts by infusing them into a non-geek wardrobe. Others know how to pick the right shirts with the right message. And others, are just bad. Real bad. So what do you do when gamer fashion goes tragic? - Destructoid
• Spending $40 on an iPod sleeve is a bit outrageous. Consider designing and making your own stickers so you can add your geek chic flare to them and protect your pod. Design your own iPod stickers - Lifehacker

• Today, Eton makes me think of posh boys, strawberries, cream and meringue (the ingredients to Eton Mess, probably the best dessert ever). But in fact, this radio has no posh components, and not even a hint of dairy or fruit produce. More retro radio goodness, from Eton - Shiny Shiny
• No, the bright red tube that you see isn't a leftover from Darth Vader's lightsaber but is actually part of a door handle. Dubbed the Brighthandle, this unique contraption doubles up as a privacy handle as well courtesy of its color codes. Intelligent door handle lights up - Techie Diva

I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggone it, people like me! Now you can get your daily dose of free therapy with the subliminal message software. I guess daily affirmations are a thing of the past as this software will do all the work for you by automatically sending out positive messages for your mind to absorb. These subliminal messages are intended to tap into your subconscious mind and increase your self-confidence and self-esteem. And from all this euphoria, your memory skills should improve, your goals should become more achievable, and your should feel more relaxed and less stressed. Last but not least, you should lose some weight and fight all your phobias. Sounds like an online miracle if you ask me. Which leads me to believe that there's a catch, although the power of the mind can be a miraculous thing! Use at your own risk!

For all the traveling I do, this should be a product that I never leave home without. Who knew that your iPod can be used as a portable translator? With McGraw-Hill's iSpeak you can download 1,500 audio phrases in French, German, Spanish or French right into your iPod! All you have to do is go to 'artist' and choose the theme you want. Then go to "album" and select the topic within the theme. From there you just select the phrase you want to hear and you will not only hear it but you will see it on your iPod screen! These translating travel buddies are only $13 and are also compatible with the Zune and other mp3 players. If you want other languages, expect Chinese, Japanese and Portuguese editions to launch this summer. Now if only I would have had the Spanish iSpeak and my iPod on me when I got lost in Barcelona!

I love Last FM for many reasons. The first being that like geeksugar, it was nominated for a Webby last week because it's just plain great. The second, being that the site offers an alternative to downloading music onto your computer and a forum to meet people that love all different types of music.

How does it work? You listen to your music with your computer's music player or your iPod and Last.fm "scrobbles" your playlists, which means every song you listen to with Last.fm becomes part of your music profile. In essence, the site keeps track of what music you listen to, and then produces a large number of features personalized to you.

After that you can create personal music charts automatically, find your "musical soul mates," generate a personal radio station and see what your friends are listening to. The site is free. To learn how to post your favorite sites to the Website of the Day group, read more

Electronics giant Samsung has unveiled its new concept PCs and saying they are "outta this world" would not be an understatement.

My favorite, is a round spherical computer that looks like a dreidel and promises to wreak havoc on your fingers. I mean, in what universe is this practical?

Also worth noting is the box that's lodged on a tree or bird perch-inspired stand. No word yet on the specs for these.

Of course as Sci Fi Tech points out the computers "have about a zero percent chance of ever hitting store shelves but show off the fact that Samsung has some creative designers on their payroll."

So look closely my friends, but don't expect to see one of these babies on your desktop in this universe.
