8 Wooden Cat Docking Station: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?
Check out my latest Etsy find: a wooden cat head docking station ($34) for iPhones and iPods. Etsy user lytsethommy carves sustainable wood into a geometric cat head, adds a few circles and triangles to his design, and the end result is this adorably cute docking station. The big question is whether or not adorable is your kind of thing. An iPhone or iPod sits in an opening on the top of the Read more

Additionally, for all you cable-hiding freaks out there (yours truly, included) Ikea also offers simple and cheap solutions for any cable management nightmare. All of these Read more

If you're rolling solo, it's likely that you won't need a gadget charging station that holds more than a few mobile gadgets that you use daily (i.e., your phone, iPod or MP3 player, and point-and-shoot camera), so why spend your hard earned money on something you don't need? Instead, check out the eco friendly and geek chic Bamboo Charging Station that has been marked down from $46 to $30. Cool Read more
Alarm clocks have sure come a long way over the years. Instead of being forced to wake-up by the shrill sound of an old school alarm clock, we now have the choice to be serenaded by nature sounds or gradual light exposure. The Homedics SoundSpa Fusion Alarm Clock($60) could easily belong with the rest of my sleek alarm clocks selections with its large LCD display and five interchangeable face Read more
In case you haven't noticed, I have a thing for charging stations. I just can't get enough of 'em. Call it my OCD for cable management, or the fact that between my boyfriend and I combined, we have more gadgets than a small country, but I love a nice and neat desk where my gadgets can refresh and recharge. This is why I love Bluelounge's Refresh charging station. Coming in three colors (black, Read more
The LEGO obsession continues with this Lego iPod dock from 10x10. Featured on technabob, these tiny blocks come with built-in speakers, which I'm assuming are the crosses in the front. This may be a wild guess, but expect sound quality similar to that when you crank up your iPod full blast with the earphones still connected. As for a power source, that I'm still trying to figure out. Priced Read more
I got a chance to check out Samsung's new lineup of gadgets and gizmos this week and was very impressed with their upcoming Samsung MM-X5 MP3 Player Docking Station. It plays content from MP3 players, including any generation Apple iPod as well as CDs. The device has a built-in USB port that allows for instant music file playback from a standard USB memory drive as well, so if you're too lazy to Read more
It's not unusual to see a designer smartphone with dumbed-down specs, but the latest entry to the designer gadget lineup seems to be packing both brains and looks. The Android-running Prada Phone by LG is a skinny one (naturally) at 8.5mm thick, and comes packed with a 4.3-inch touchscreen display, a 1.0Ghz dual-core processor for speed, 8GB of onboard storage, and an 8MP rear-facing camera so Read more
Charging stations and docks are fab because they can manage your cable clutter and save you precious outlet space, while keeping multiple gadgets juiced. The downside is regular docks and stations can sometimes get bulky to make room for a hidden power strip and multiple charging cords. Sure, they keep things tidy, but who wants a breadbox sitting in their entryway? For those who want to cut Read more
