Amp It Up With a Mini Desktop Speaker Amplifier

GeekSugar — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 09:00:44 PDT

As much as I wanted to be in an all-girl garage band in middle school (and still feel the urge when I play Rock Band), I never got it together. Never learned the guitar, never took much-needed voice lessons, never got to bring home an amp that would make my parents scream obscenities at me from the floor below.

But now, the joys of adulthood and USB capabilities have given me a new shot - with this desktop Mini Amplifier Speaker ($25)!

The amp runs on USB or batteries, and so far, the first review is very positive. I need to see a review that says, "Will blow your mother's bangs off," before I commit to buying though.

Okay, so maybe I'm not the only person on this earth that has a soft spot for delicious cupcakes and pretty speakers. Calamari spotted these adorable speakers by Semk over at Technabob. Apparently, the speakers plug right into your computer or MP3 player for sweet, sweet sound. What do you think, are these novelty speakers too silly or are they just the sugar rush you could use?

Totally Geeky or Geek Chic? Novelty Speakers

We've all seen our fair share of novelty gadgets, particularly "i"- gadgets or funky speakers in the shapes of animals, alien-inspired towers, or daises, but the question is, would you buy one? RaRaJulia recently moved into a new place and sent me these photos of her novelty dog speakers, which she says are quite the conversation/compliment starters. We know they are totally cute, but is the concept of novelty speakers geeky, or geek chic?
