The Slide Lamp Is Geeky Wall Candy

GeekSugar — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 04:00:57 -0700

Being the photography nerd that I am, I instantly fell in love with this unique lamp. It's not just any ordinary lamp, it's a light table for photo slides! How cool (and totally geeky) is that?! From Suck UK, this Slide Lamp holds up to 36 slides that you can take yourself (just by loading slide film into your camera instead of a roll), or have your already photoshopped and prepped photos converted into slides from your local developer.

Coming in three sizes, this functional piece of art will cost you around $140 dollars for the smallest size, and over $200 for the largest, but it's a total conversation starter that's essential for the entertaining geek's home. Wall mountable and totally sleek, these babies look hot next to each other, but realistically I think I'd have to splurge on just one. Cause really, you know I'd be buying the Slide Lamp to show off my photography talents, and not just for lighting purposes. What? Admit it - you would too!

Spruce Up Your Nerd Den With the Illuminating Coffee Table

GeekSugar — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 11:00:06 -0700

I am totally falling in love with Suck UK's geeky-chic goods. Not only can they supply me with an old-school Mixed Tape USB Set that I can slip in my BF's bag to show him some love, but they can make me the queen of my castle with this totally hot Union Jack illuminated coffee table. I am seriously jonesing this thing.

But don't think it won't cost you a pretty penny - this baby comes in at around $4,000 bucks. And if flags aren't your thing, you can order your table minus the Union Jack top. I don't know what is geekier: an independently controlled coffee table with a built-in power connection, or me, who gets all excited over the idea of having lights underneath my furniture and on my clothes. It's probably the latter.

USB Mixed Tape Set Has Me Longing For My Dual Deck Stereo

GeekSugar — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 13:01:19 -0700

You remember the time before playlists, don't you? Those were the days where dual decks and mixed tapes ruled the world. Making a mixed tape was a big deal and not to be taken lightly. Just look at Rob Gordon in High Fidelity - making the perfect mixed tape is a laborious process that takes blood, sweat, and tears! Tears!

But since we no longer are slaves to the cassette, it seems the magic has faded with it. Handing someone a wimpy jewel case or a link to your online playlist just isn't the same. Someone else thought so, too, and is bringing back the fond memories with the Suck UK Mixed Tape USB set. It takes the best of both worlds: digital music, which is uploaded to the USB stick, and the tactile warmth of a tape case you can write on - old-school style with hearts and everything. Totally vintage geek and totally cool.

LED Mirror With Scrolling Text Or Clock

GeekSugar — Thu, 26 Jul 2007 04:00:06 -0700

The LED Mirror may not fit with every design scheme and it won't read your text messages like the +336+SMS Mirror, but it adds some techie flair to your vanity.

It features a scrolling LED message board and click mounted behind a glass mirror. You can program it to show time and date and save personalized messages up to 4,000 characters. It can be controlled via remote control or connect to your PC. It costs about $620.

Spring Clean Your CD and LP Collections: Organize!

GeekSugar — Mon, 04 May 2009 11:00:18 -0700

Remember when I told you that vinyl was coming back in a big way? I meant it. So whether you are a budding record collector or already have a massive collection of your own, get organized by filing your LPs by genre or alphabetizing them this Spring with these CD and LP Dividers ($15-$45) from Suck UK.

When you're playing DJ to your pals, there's nothing worse than hearing the bare crackle of your record player while you're searching for the next great track to play. Get it together, man. Hey, and I'm not saying CDs are totally out. If you're still hanging onto all those discs and jewel cases, you can get yourself some dividers for those, too. I know, it's hard to let go of the past, but, thankfully, you aren't alone.

Numbers Alarm Clock: Totally Geeky Or Geek Chic?

GeekSugar — Mon, 03 Sep 2007 11:00:43 -0700

The new LED Alarm Clock from Suck UK is made up of four cubes for the hour and minute digits that can be moved around independently. Each cube is 1" wide x 1.5" high with a separate controller for the time set, dimmer and alarm functions. I think the idea is fun, albeit youthful, but I'm not sure it's practical as a functional clock. Is the idea of breaking up digits just too geeky, or is it artistic enough to be chic?

Wonderful World of Geeky Clocks

GeekSugar — Mon, 30 Jul 2007 08:00:00 -0700

Geeks adore clocks. Maybe it's our love of numbers and even the simplest machinery, or maybe it's just the fact that clocks are a simple way to dress up your work area and home while keeping you on task. Whatever the case, I am continually running across innovative clocks that incorporate LED lights, project numbers onto your wall or are made of recycled computer parts.

My favorite clock of the moment may come as a surprise. It doesn't connect to your MP3 player, instinctively welcome you home and isn't built into a mirror. It's the simple Fabric Desktop Alarm Clock from Suck UK. It costs about $200 and comes with three changeable fabric covers. When you are sick of their covers you can cut your favorite fabric into additional covers and decorate the device to best suit the design of your home or office. It features a simple LED display and doubles as an alarm clock.
