Boombox Bags: Now Available in Peach and Blue
The mini speaker wristlet bags are back! When I mentioned them way back when, most of you were digging their retro hip style. .
KarrySafe Phone Pouch: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?
I wouldn't say the KarrySafe Phone Pouch ($12), looks like something you'd see the trendy BlackBerry fanatics on The Hills carrying on Melrose, but I do see its practical purposes. According to the MoMA the cases were "thoughtfully designed to deter common-criminal techniques like pick pocketing and bag snatching, these street-safe features include secure closures, locks, alarmed-breakaway straps, impact padding, and durable slash-resistant and waterproof materials." What do you think of them?

Art Geek: The MoMA's Color Chart Online Exhibit
Hey culture vultures, you can now get a dose of a museum visit from your laptop! The MoMA (Museum of Modern Art to the Luddite) has just gone live with the first online art exhibit, and its theme is color.
Color Chart is an all-online exhibit of modern artists from 1918 to 2008 who interpreted color in different and innovative ways.
Up Your Coolness Factor With Hipster Gadgets
Whether you define yourself as a hipster or not, one thing is for sure: those cool cats know their beer, indie bands, pop culture, and tech. In fact, I don't know a hipster who isn't slinging a solid level of geek knowledge and understanding of the hipness of certain oddball whatchamacallits.
New devices hit electronic shelves and the Internet daily — some are instantly welcomed with long lines while others are largely ignored.
Typewriter Laptop Sleeve: Love It or Leave It?
Since this isn't the first typewriter-printed laptop bag I've seen (that honor goes to this red one), I have to note the delicious irony that's having a moment.
The irony, of course, is that of depicting an old-school typewriter on a vessel that transports a new-school computer. Yes, it seems that you can have it both ways: retro and modern.
Here's a Valentine's Day Gift I.Dear: New Portable iPod Speakers
I'm starting to collect iPod speakers like they're accessories because they kind of are — you want different sizes and quality depending on whatever you're using them for.
Basically, you can never have too many, which is why I'm hoping a certain someone takes note of these I.Dear Portable Speakers ($36) in wood or faux marble from the MoMA Store.
They're teeny and adorable, and the wood one especially (hint, hint) would look great while playing my music.

Solar Laptop Bag: Are These Things Getting Better, or Worse?
It's like I'm playing my own personal waiting game with solar bags; I really want one, but I don't want to pay hundreds of dollars. When I see new ones, like this briefcase-looking Solar Laptop Bag from the MoMA Store, I just sigh. Six hundred dollars but it's still not amazingly fabulous-looking.
Fancy Schmancy Giorgio Fedon Mignon Cases For USB Sticks
The MoMA Store advertises these colorful aluminum Giorgio Fedon Mignon cases as being for any small item, like vitamins or coins, yet I love that they're shown encasing a flash drive in the photo.
It's a fabulous solution to the question of where to stash a USB stick when you're carrying it around — or even when it's just at home (you'd be surprised by how many places I have those things: junk drawers, desk drawers, jewelry boxes. .
