WTF
WTF Stamp Leaves Little to the Imagination
Since the inception of texting and IM'g, WTF has been a universal acronym that gets regularly used in chats, between cell phones and computers. Because it easily rolls off the tongue, or computer keys a tad too quickly, I find myself dropping the WTF bomb a tad too much — yes dad, you're right, it does "cheapen" me. Nonetheless, when you can't find the strength from within to conger up the confidence to say WTF to someone's face, I suggest investing in one of these WTF stamps.
iPod Burns Through Man's Pants
A man that works at a kiosk at the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport got a hot surprise this week and it wasn't an unexpected cup of coffee.
Danny Williams was going about his day when he looked down and saw flames coming up from his pants' pocket to his chest. What was it you wonder?
Lederhosen With Integrated iPod Controls
I can fully understand the need for geek apparel like the Zegna Bluetooth iJacket, which uses Bluetooth technology that can be used for mobile phone conversations and has iPod and MP3 player controls sewn into the sleeves and collar. I can't really understand the need for items like this Lederhosen, which has integrated iPod controls.
The Lederhosen are made by Lodenfrey a traditional wear company that's been around since 1842, which prompts the question: Why do we have to integrate "technology" into things that really don't need it?
Totally Geeky or Geek Chic? iPod Anti-Theft Case
iPod thieves have been making headlines since the device was released. From news reports and tips on how to keep your pod safe, to Dateline specials on how to catch thieves, there really is no end to the iHysteria. So how do you protect your beloved pod?
Smoking Ban Creates 'Smexting' Phenomenon
Being a smoker can be alienating. Sure, there are designated areas where like-minded puffers can gab, but for the most part smokers are banished to outside patios where they are left to smoke solo. According to the UK's Daily Mail, a record number of text messages have been sent by smokers trying to pass the time while alone in smoking areas.
Solar Bikini And Intimate Gaming Bra Return
The itsy bitty, teeny weeny solar-powered bikini and the Intimate Game Controllers are making their way back to the geekosphere this week, showing up at Siggraph 2007's Unravel fashion show. The Solar Bikini uses solar power to charge small gadgets like your cell or iPod, while the Intimate Game Controllers are an oh-so-geeky (but also sexy!) platform where controllers are built into undergarments so that players have to physically touch one another to play.
Despite what you might think, the Intimate Controller was built by a male and female duo, while the a bikini was created by a male.
Who The, What The: Super Mario On The iPhone?!
I am not going to deny the fact that there are a lot of exciting tools on the iPhone, but I must admit, it's announcements like this that make me thank my lucky stars that I have a shiny and new iPhone. Brace yourselves: word on the net is that there is a new Nintendo Entertainment System emulator application on Google Code that comes with games like Super Mario Bros and The Legend of Zelda. The emulator has a few glitches and requires several software hacks to work so use it at your own risk.
Asthma Pod: Why This 'Pod' Craze Has Gone Too Far
We already knew the "i" craze had passed the point of no return, but it looks like "pod" mania may be gaining speed in the race.
Yesterday I learned about the Apod, or Asthma Pod, which is a colorful plastic case that clips around your standard asthma inhaler. They cost about $20 (or £10 because it's a British company) and come in 7 colors.
Mr. Tengu: Robot-like Desk Accessory Gets Moody
There really is no end to the USB gadget universe. Case in point: "Jones's Mr. Tengu," a USB character that Solid Alliance devised with London designer Crispin Jones. When you connect Mr. Tengu to the USB port of a computer a red LED "face" appears and reacts to the sound around the room.
Cooler Keeps Drinks Cold, MP3s Pumping
Sure, the solar powered beach bag is an August must have, but what if you'd rather cool your drinks and play music instead of just charge your gadgets? Uncommon Goods is selling a bag that plays tunes - it gets AM and FM and hooks up to any iPod or MP3 player - all while keeping your brews cool. While the exterior of the bag was inspired by wooden-paneling, it's supposedly lightweight and it's got a padded shoulder strap so you'll never want to put it down.
