The average person probably owns at least one case for their cell phone. I on the other hand, am not the average person and think of my phone and laptop cases the way I do handbags and shoes: Variety, variety, variety! Therefore, right now I can barely stand to look at the one currently clothing my iPhone because I want a new one so bad. I'm on the hunt, looking through ones I've posted about in the past, and I think I have settled on a custom Vaja i-volution Crystal 2.
I'm a big fan of the i-volution Lady Holster, but this one you can really customize, down to the color of the Swarovski crystals. It's a splurge, but the leather looks sumptuous and I love the idea of a one-of-a-kind case. It's totally over-the-top girly, crystals and all, but sometimes I'm in the mood for that. Now I just need to decide on what color to pick. . .
With Valentine's Day right around the corner, I couldn't help but include a few pink gadgetry goods in this month's must haves. Whether you're searching for yourself, or trying to gain gift ideas for V-Day, this geek-chic list is sure to please any gal needing some fun new gadgets. To see the full list, click the "start slideshow" link below!
Gizmodo put together a gallery of the 10 Most Sexist Gadgets Ever Made (please click the link for the gadgets, as many of them are NSFW), and I'm finding myself out of breath laughing one minute and completely offended the next.
I've actually posted the USB Pole Dancer before, thinking it would make a funny gag gift, but some of these things on this list are pretty horrifying. The Axe Mouse Pad?! I want to know what marketing genius thought that one up. And then there's the gadget that needs no words, the lovely Control Your Woman Remote. Oh, wait, I do have one word: Delete.
I like the idea of going to work in an environmentally-sound vehicle — especially one that can get me a great workout! But this one, dubbed the Imagine LMV does bring to mind a certain Stone Age family who have been sporting this kind of ride for ages. Starting at $15,000, this human powered gem has you rowing your way to a greener earth. But instead of messing up your pedi, a la Wilma Flinstone, your upper body is what gets you moving.
However, other differences between this human-powered car and the Flinstone's hot rod are pretty futuristic. A standard electric/human-powered hybrid motor (recharged by you, of course) can take you up to 30 mph while you and your pals head off to the stone quarry, er, I mean work. Plus with add ons like an iPod adapter, navigation system, internet connectivity, and biometric devices (so you can see how hard you're rowing, natch) really does make it an eco-lover's dream! With the Imagine LMV hitting the streets just in time for Earth Day 2008, would this human-powered car be something that you would drive?
Is there no end to the genius of RSS? Not only do all my fabulous blogs wait patiently for me, and matching ads for the piece of furniture I am currently hunting for on Craigslist are delivered right to me, but now I can check the weather in the same place!
Websites like the WeatherBug and The Weather Channel supply RSS Feeds; you supply your location, and then add it to your RSS Reader of choice (I like both Google Reader and Bloglines). Oh and San Francisco? It's rain, rain, and more rain. And then it might rain.
Husbands, boyfriends, friends, significant others, hear me out on this one. . . . If you want to show your geeky loved one some TLC this Valentine's Day but don't want to spend an arm and a leg doing it, I bring you the (on sale for $50!) High Sierra Laptop Bag.
This all-in-one laptop tote, brace yourselves, comes with a removable padded laptop sleeve, a main compartment for all your essentials and a mini removable makeup pouch. It can accommodate most laptops with screens up to 15 inches and includes a lifetime warranty — score! Check out the pics below to see what other colors are available!
