Boardy Paper USB Stick: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?

GeekSugar — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 13:25:42 -0700

Admittedly, I have a ton of USB sticks and funky flash drives hanging around my desk, but I have never seen one made out of paper. Until I found one while surfing online, that is.

But the Boardy USB Stick isn't your usual run-of-the-mill flash drive - it's made out of recycled paper and electronic parts to make an eco-friendly product you can use in any format. The only unfortunate thing about this product is its website. There's no price listed, and there's no mention of any memory capacity. Bummer.

I'm all over my iPhone's camera (not only for snapping pics, but for useful stuff, too), so finding these camera phone accessories made me giggle with amusement. These gadgets may help your camera function more efficiently and expand its range, or they could turn out to be humorous exchange gifts for your next office Christmas party. You be the judge. Source

Molecule Jewelry: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?

I know my periodic table pretty well, but I may need some help figuring out what these molecules are! Thankfully, FractalSpin spelled it all out in the captions for me: caffeine, dopamine, estrogen, acetylcholine, and serotonin (my fave). All made out of sterling silver, these necklaces replicate each corresponding molecule for you to don, and show off your high level of taste and geekiness. But would you in fact wear any of these? My guess is hell yes.

Holy Retro, Batman: Geeky Retro Tech Placemats

GeekSugar — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 13:00:40 -0700

Everyone needs to eat, so why not cover up that vintage hand-me-down table you have shoved in your dining room with some geeky placemats like the ones I found on Holy Cool?

For about $16 dollars for a pack of six (plus tax and shipping of course), you can get your own set of record player, cassette, or old-school ghetto blaster placemats and stay totally entertained during dinner. Unfortunately, they don't actually function as working gadgets, so you'll just have to pretend and break your mom's rule of no singing at the table.

A Good Pair: Trexta Air Sleeves and the Latico Vertical Tote

GeekSugar — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 09:05:30 -0700

If I'm in the market for a new bag, I tend to want to pair it with a new laptop sleeve. This is because realistically, it's only a matter of time before my bag (no matter if it's a laptop bag or not) becomes a transportation device for my trusty computer. So when I saw (and salivated over) the Vertical Tote ($155) on Flight 001, I immediately went on the hunt for a laptop sleeve that would match the adorable flower print on the inside lining. Lo and behold, the sexy Trexta sleeves I was raving about at Macworld were just what I was looking for.

To hear about my laptop sleeve of choice, just read more.

The Trexta MacBook Air Sleeve ($100) in Coffee is the exact hue of brown that could pair with the tote like a good cube of cheese to a vintage wine. Yummy. The 14.5 inch opening in the bag makes for a perfectly snug home for your Macbook Air, while the Trexta case keeps your lappy from getting scratched and abused from whatever you decide to toss in the tote.

Plus, the rich blue tone of the bag (and lush leather materials on both the bag and the sleeve) should take you nicely into your Fall wardrobe, getting more mileage for your buck, and making these items a worthy investment.

A DS Stylus Fit For the My Favorite Gadgets Group

I'll admit it, I haven't shown that much love to the My Favorite Gadgets group lately, but trust me, it's not due to lack of options! Worthy of its own entry, I found this DS Stylus pack at E3, and couldn't get over how I haven't seen them anywhere before. I mean, a light up Lightsaber-shaped stylus? Come on, that's too easy!

Although I didn't grab a pack for myself while hitting up the merch booths, I did make a mental note for future birthdays, Christmases, and heck, even anniversaries. There's never really a bad time for Star Wars.

Wii Sports Sequel, Remote Attachment Coming Soon

GeekSugar — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 07:33:12 -0700

If you spent all your spare hours knocking down pins and throwing curve balls when you first cracked open your Wii by going Pro in Wii Sports, then get ready - you're about to go a few rounds with Wii Sports Resort this Summer! Not to be confused with the third party title Summer Sports: Paradise Island, this game is coming straight from Nintendo and will hit the shelves July 26. Announced at last year's E3 conference, Wii Sports Resort will include Summer fun activities like water skiing, playing Frisbee with a Mii-like dog, and sword fighting. Yes, sword fighting - make up for all the times your mom told you not to play with sticks in the house!

But that's not all. Find out what other goodies are being released for your Wii this Summer when you read more.

Adding to the fun is the new Wii remote attachment that makes your movements even more realistic. Called Wii MotionPlus, this sensor attaches to the bottom of your remote and catches slight movements and enhances your playing experience. Sold together, Wii Summer Sports and Wii MotionPlus will set you back $50, but if you only want more accuracy for your favorite games (this will come in especially handy for your golf swing), Wii MotionPlus will cost just $20.

Rustic Computer Brush Gets to the Root of Your Grimy Gadgets

GeekSugar — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 14:30:28 -0800

Blame Apple for the profusion of roundish, white space-looking accessories - because of them I was struck by how "unusual" this Computer Brush ($32) looks, even though it really resembles traditional house-cleaning supplies.

One side of the bristles is stiff to get out crumbs and other ucky crap from your keyboard; the other side is soft, antistatic goat hair to dedustify your monitor. The promise of cleanliness is what piques my interest, but to be honest, it's the back-to-basics styling that has me sold.
