Just When You Thought You'd Seen It All. . .

It's a USB Desktop Mini Fridge! I'm actually starting to think that anything and everything can be made USB-friendly, why not, right? Say it's a warm day, you're sitting at your desk at work and you wish a nice cold cola would magically appear so you don't have to walk your butt to the kitchen. Well now with the USB fridge your dream can become reality. Keep drinks cold right beside your computer, all day long, without having to move a muscle!

Hook It Up With the Cassette Tape USB Hub

GeekSugar — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 01:44:19 -0700

I'm not sure if it's the fact that this Cassette Tape USB Hub is, well, a cassette tape that makes me a little bit excited, or if it's the fact that I can hook up four more peripherals to my machine when I need it. Having some extra ports can come in super handy when I'm rocking my stylish netbook and need to connect my camera and external hard drive at the same time. Or you know, to plug in my USB mini fridge to cool my Diet Coke. Whatever.

I could easily throw down the $15 or so that it takes to get my hands on this, mostly because I have an obsession with mixed tapes and old-school boomboxes.

Dexim Helps Your MacBook Air Breathe a Little Easier

GeekSugar — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 06:01:18 -0800

We all know that the drawback to owning the ultra-portable MacBook Air is its lack of ports -just one USB port is all you get with that baby. So when I saw the Dexim booth at Macworld, I knew they were onto something. The AV Dock Station is not only a place to charge and play your iPod, but it's also a USB hub that allows you to plug a few more things into your computer, like say, that USB Mini Fridge you've had your eye on.

But not only that, you can control your tunes and videos with the included remote. Cause when you're chilling in your hotel room, you really don't feel like getting up to change the song or adjust that volume, right?

Keep Fridge Clutter in Check With Mix Tape Magnets

GeekSugar — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 14:45:01 -0700

I've already ordered my USB Mixed Tape Set, so I might as well continue the trend and post these up on my fridge! These mini cassette magnets are wicked cool and functional to boot.

Brought to you by another genius Etsy user, the magnets come in at a reasonable $8 a pop, and bonus - you can write your own titles on them! I think "Geek's Mix" is kinda lame (and not all that creative), so I'll have to come up with something funky and fresh in its place. I'm really loving how old stuff is coming back and being reused in new and inventive ways. I'm sure Mother Earth is smiling on us right now.

See In The Dark With Brightfeet Lighted Slippers

GeekSugar — Mon, 14 May 2007 04:00:46 -0700

How fantastic are these? Now when you stumble out of bed at two am for a stroll to the bathroom or fridge, you'll have something to light the way for you!

The brightfeet lighted slippers are equipped with long-lasting battery-operated LED bulbs which light up only in the dark while you are standing in them. Basically, it's like having slippers with headlights... just think of all the money you'll save on flashlights and nightlights! These slippers look relatively cozy and comfortable and come in small, medium, and large for men and women. Priced at $40.

By night I recommend the brightfeet lighted slippers and by day the Hello Kitty USB slippers!
