Lego USB Hub: Love It or Leave It?

GeekSugar — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:44:54 -0800

We've seen Lego coffee tables, a Lego kitchen, and even a Lego house. Here's my latest Lego-themed find: Lego USB Hubs ($20).

Available in four bright colors (yellow, red, black, and blue) the hubs are four inches long and have ports for up to four USB cables or devices.

It's definitely been a Lego-overload recently, but I have to admit, I'm a fan of this product, too. What do you think?

7 Items to Remind You of Spring All Year

GeekSugar — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 07:33:18 -0700

I know for some of you, today might not feel like Spring. The weather around the country has been harsh, and if you're begging for the sun to peek out from behind the clouds, there are some things you can buy to make it feel a little more Spring-like all year round. Sure, it's not the same as catching some rays in the park, but at least these things may help you keep a smile on your face.

USB Tulip Hub: Love It or Leave It?

GeekSugar — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 13:32:52 -0700

Can I now start saying that Spring has sprung? With the sun finally showing its face in my neck of the woods, it certainly feels that way. Make like the flowers are blooming on the inside as well as outside with this USB Tulip Hub ($22).

With four separate USB ports, this Tulip Hub is as useful as it is fun and happy.

However, I realize that though I may be going for exuberant and girlie due to the sun coming 'round, other people may find this, well, a bit too loud for an office area.

Chocolate Bar USB Hub: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?

GeekSugar — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 11:25:23 -0800

This portable hard drive certainly looks like a yummy Kit-Kat bar, doesn't it? Designed by Sang-Hoon Lee, each piece of this concept design USB Hub is made of a modular flash drive for all your storage needs, and if my addition is correct, it includes sixteen in total. There is also a touchscreen in the center to help you organize all your files. Maybe not as user friendly as the Hub Man, although I love the pastel colors. Even though it's only a concept design right now, I'm still curious to know what you guys think of it. Let me know below!

USB Hub and Clock: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?

GeekSugar — Wed, 14 Nov 2007 10:00:41 -0800

Here's a good gift for dad this holiday season - a 4-Port USB Hub and Alarm Clock! I can't say I've really ever had the desire to have an alarm clock, calendar, and temperature gauge attached to my laptop, but it's kinda one of those gadgets you can see a guy in your life getting all excited about. Discussed on OhGizmo!, the clock is USB powered and includes a large LCD screen with both Fahrenheit or Celsius temperatures. The USB Hub can rotate 180 degrees and is both PC and Mac compatible. Priced at $20. Do you think it's a chic laptop accessory or too geeky?

Love It or Leave It? USB Hub Man

GeekSugar — Wed, 05 Sep 2007 16:00:31 -0700

I always find that extra USB ports can never go unused, especially when they come in cute styles such as this one which I saw on technabob. The USB Hub Man from Kikkerland comes with four ports, which are located at the end of his flexible arms and legs. Find all the electronics inside his cute little belly and watch for a tiny green LED light near his heart as the power indicator. Only one port runs at the standard 2.0 USB speed so you won't be able to max out all four ports at once. Stay tuned for availability and purchasing info. Pricing is said to be around $19. What do you think?

Rainbow Bright Four-Way USB Hub

GeekSugar — Tue, 31 Jul 2007 05:00:15 -0700

Thankfully USB Hubs have come a long way in the last year. For instance, with Belkin's wireless hub you can ditch your cords altogether, while the Rubber Duckie Hub, can add some fun and excitement to your workstation.

Similar to the infamous Twistahub, this colorful square hub includes four 2.0 USB ports, which is great if you always find yourself needing an extra port.

Featured on Gizmodo, the chromatic bendable hub only costs $12 and has a low power consumption. Wouldn't you agree that it would match perfectly with these USB flash drives?
