UBoard Desk Shelf: Love It or Leave It?

GeekSugar — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 15:44:21 -0800

I just spotted this shelf over on CrunchGear, and I must admit, I love it. The UBoard USB board and shelf ($50) features a glass top and three USB ports on its side. There's even a cup holder that attaches to the side!

I don't know that I'd use the cup holder, but I like the idea of a clear shelf that goes over my keyboard, and the USB ports are pretty convenient. What do you think?

Twitter Lists: Love It or Leave It?

GeekSugar — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 10:05:55 -0700

After a long wait, Twitter has rolled out its Lists feature to all users.

The new feature allows you to group the people you follow into categories, which means less clutter on the homepage. Plus, you can view or subscribe to other users' lists. There's also an option to make your lists private, though they default to public. I haven't gotten a chance to play around with the lists feature yet, but I'm looking forward to testing it out. What do you think of this new feature? If you're using it, please share your favorite lists below!

If you're not already, be sure to follow me on Twitter.

I'm all for embellishments, but check out this decked-out iPod case. The Showstopper iPhone Case ($20) is covered in gold, brown, silver, and gold beads and is the latest in blinged-out accessories.

Are you in love, or is it a little too bedazzled?

Don't Blog Me Poster: Love It or Leave It?

GeekSugar — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 15:44:18 -0700

These days, I'm not so worried about people gossiping about me to their friends, but more like the entire world on their blog. Not that I ever do anything worth blogging about of course, but still, the threat of being called out online is bigger and scarier than anything the town gossip can say to their friends on the bus ride home. Especially in the world of dating, being a subject for your dates' followers may just make a girl not want to go out at all.

Enter the Don't Blog Me ($11) poster. Not only will it let your friends, family, and dates know that you've got an eye on them, but it's also a fun conversational piece in this fast-paced and Internet-based world we now live in. But what do you think - do you love this poster like I do, or would you rather leave it behind?

Emoticon Magnets: Love It or Leave It?

GeekSugar — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 15:44:22 -0700

I know I've mentioned my avoid-unless-necessary feelings on emoticons several times, not to mention calling a guy out over his emoticon use (to which most of you responded my friend should chill out).

You loved this emoticon shower curtain; do you feel the same way about these emoticon magnets ($15)? They're 2.5 inches in diameter, so they'll definitely make a statement on the fridge. What do you think?

Super Secret Spy Lens: Love It or Leave It?

GeekSugar — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 15:45:27 -0700

Trying to get someone to "act natural" in front of a camera is like trying to perfect my costume for a Halloween party: I try, but am never 100 percent believable. With most folks, there's always a bit of apprehension that keeps you from getting that perfect photojournalistic (read: candid) shot, but this little gadget may help you out in that department.

The Super Secret Spy Lens ($50) has a discreet side cutout, fashioned with a precise inner mirror so it looks like you're aiming straight ahead, but are really capturing images on the sly. Now, this can be a great tool if you aren't a pro at putting your subjects at ease, but since that's part of the job of a photographer, wouldn't you want the practice? Also, I might feel a bit like a peeping Tom, but maybe that's just me.

Android Phone Cover: Love It or Leave It?

GeekSugar — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 15:44:55 -0700

It seems like I've covered an exhaustive amount of iPhone cases from handcrafted to high-tech. But today I stumbled upon this cute case made specifically for Google Android phones.

The case is designed for a T-Mobile G1 phone, but can be custom-ordered for any Android phone. It's lined in felt to prevent scratches, and of course features a green Android robot. I'm a fan of geeky handmade goodies - and now Android users can get in on the action. What do you think?

WaSaBi Designer Console Skins: Love or Leave?

GeekSugar — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 09:05:48 -0700

I caught these designer console skins from WaSaBi while cruising the merch area at this year's Tokyo Game Show, and spent about ten minutes trying to decide on whether or not to splurge. I'm kind of loving the cherry blossom theme on the right, but I can't tell if it would take away from the natural and minimalist feel of the Wii, and/or clash with the rest of my decor. The other designs are pretty sweet too but still, I've never been one to mod my consoles, even if it's with a $20 skin. Help me decide - what do you think?

Geek Soap: Love It or Leave It?

GeekSugar — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 15:43:45 -0700

I just found this silly Geek Soap ($6) on Etsy.

It's an easy gift for your favorite geek - and pretty cheeky to boot. The label reads, "Unscented. This soap is so smart it doesn't have to smell pretty." There are a ton of fun geeky soaps out there . . . what do you think of this one?

iPhone/Credit Card Case Combo: Love It or Leave It?

GeekSugar — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 15:43:58 -0700

I'm digging the metallic blue hue on this iPhone case (it also comes in a number of other colors), but this particular case provides more than just protection to your mobile: it also holds your credit cards and cash! The Case-Mate iPhone Credit Card Case ($30) is great for when you're headed out for a night on the town and just want to take the necessities: phone, ID, and a few bucks for a cab. Not sure how I'd feel about toting around my credit cards out in the open like that all the time, but I guess when you have limited space in a tiny clutch, it could be a lifesaver.
