The Slide Lamp Is Geeky Wall Candy

GeekSugar — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 04:00:57 PDT

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!

Love It or Hate It? Wiper Mirror

CasaSugar — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 13:00:46 PDT

I love design that solves minute daily frustrations, like wiping off the condensation of my mirror after every morning shower. But a pet peeve of mine has always been that car wipers don't wipe off the entire surface of the window. So while I think the Suck UK Wiper Mirror (inquire for price) is clever, I haven't been won over by it. I think I'd just prefer a heated bathroom mirror instead.

Spruce Up Your Nerd Den With the Illuminating Coffee Table

GeekSugar — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 11:00:06 PDT

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 PDT

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.

Love It or Hate It? Teddy Bear Lamp

CasaSugar — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 13:00:04 PDT

The Suck UK Teddy Bear Lamp (coming soon), a soft toy bear with a lamp for a head, brings back memories to me of my siblings beheading my favorite stuffed animals and Barbie dolls as a kid. It's a cheeky design, but I'm too sentimental to keep it in my home. What do you think?

Love It or Hate It? Splat Stan Coaster

CasaSugar — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 04:30:36 PST

Superman Stan risked his life to protect your tabletop from coffee stains and red wine ring marks. And then, splat! Dead. The SUCK UK Splat Stan Coaster ($14.70) is made of silicone rubber and comes in an appropriate hazard-zone orange. What do you think? Might perk up your office desk, huh?

Nice and New: SUCK UK Moon Jar

CasaSugar — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 08:00:36 PST

The SUCK UK Moon Jar ($40), a luna-like light that comes equipped with a solar-powered cell and rechargeable battery that soaks up sunlight, is new at Elsewares these days. If it looks familiar, it is: it's the dimmer sister of the Sun Jar, which we've raved about before. Still packaged in that traditional mason jar, it automatically flicks on for five hours when it gets dark, or can be turned off with a switch inside. It's also a glowing holiday gift for anyone on your list!

MyCuppa Mugs Determine The Perfect Color

YumSugar — Thu, 23 Aug 2007 08:01:11 PDT

Most people don't measure out their milk when adding it to their coffee. They generally just pour until the "right" amount has been added. If you've ever tried to be helpful and make someone a perfect cup, you may have found that it was either too much milk or not enough. Wouldn't it be great if there was a way you could figure it out? Well, now you can thanks to the MyCuppa mugs from Suck UK. Inside the mug are a series of color strips. All you have to do is find out what color they like, and then pour the milk until it matches. At little under $15 a piece, these mugs - available in tea or coffee versions - would make a great gift, or would be a great starter for that novelty mug collection you've been meaning to start.

LED Mirror With Scrolling Text Or Clock

GeekSugar — Thu, 26 Jul 2007 04:00:06 PDT

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.
