Personalized "i" Gadget Covers: Geeky or Geek Chic?
I'm into monogramming so I instantly fell for the iPhone iPod Personalized Holder, $9.99. Created by Etsy user JTstitches, the holder is one in a series of personalized gadget holders with machine embroidery of music notes and your "iName." The cases have a velcro closure and are made of black cotton fabric (other colors available).
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.

Keep Your Tech Covered With the Redmaloo Felt Sleeves
I talk a lot of game about keeping your cell phones and MP3 players safe and covered, but guess what — I don't always take my own advice. For example, my iPod is not covered most of the time, and I sometimes let my iPhone run naked in my bag. Bad news, I know.

I love vintage geek gadgets almost as much as I love my brand new tech goodies. From typewriters to Polaroid cameras, these retro goodies are as stunning as they once were useful.

Website of the Day: Double Feature Finder
I'm not one to pay for a movie ticket, then sneak into a second without paying (although I know some people who dabble in the art of creating their own double feature), so finding this website made me both laugh and point my mouse to my bookmark button. Double Feature Finder finds movies that run back to back so you can buy your tickets at the counter on your way into one flick, then head into another without having to go back out to stand in another line.
Just put in the title of the movie that you want to see, and DFF will spit out a list of other flicks that trail your preferred film at the same theater so you can check it out right after.
