Retro Cool Meets High Tech: USB Portable Turntable
Vinyl is making a comeback! Many artists are now releasing albums on vinyl as well as digitally.
There's something about the sound of a vinyl record that makes any song — even a new release — sound totally old-school.
Urban Outfitters Ups the Retro Ante, I'm All In
I'm the kind of girl that can appreciate the early days of technology and rock a vinyl record player next to a high-quality sound system. Urban Outfitters isn't the first place you'd think to get your tech fix, but it has been raising the bar when it comes to offering up retro gadgets like record players and old-school typewriters. Two of my favorites, natch.
Holy Retro, Batman: Geeky Retro Tech Placemats
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.
Spring Clean Your CD and LP Collections: Organize!
Remember when I told you that vinyl was coming back in a big way? I meant it. So whether you are a budding record collector or already have a massive collection of your own, get organized by filing your LPs by genre or alphabetizing them this Spring with these CD and LP Dividers ($15-$45) from Suck UK.
Making a Comeback: Six Retro Chic Record Players
There's just something about sifting through stacks and stacks of records, finding a gem, and then taking it home to hear the crackle and amazing sound that a record provides. There's really nothing like it. And although I (and a majority of you) get our music digitally, old vinyl is making its comeback.
Vintage Geek: Yellow Record Player and 8-Track Combo
Holy '70s! This vintage Yellow Record and 8-Track Player Combo is not for the decor faint of heart. That is some yellow and black retro business goin' on.

Love It or Leave It? CD Record Player
Don't you just want to belt Corinne Bailey Rae's "Put Your Records On" when you see this Phonograph CD Player? Designed by Yong Jieyu and displayed on Yanko Design, this CD player looks more like a retro record player that could actually play sheet music. It even comes with a laser pointer and arm, so you can watch the CD spinning while your music plays.
Testing 1, 2, 3: The Flip UltraHD Review
To help capture some Memorial Day weekend festivities, I took the latest camcorder from Pure Digital Technologies — the Flip UltraHD — out for a test drive. Since the first Flip was announced in 2006, these simple-yet-sophisticated cams have not only been the video camera of choice among celebrities, but the general public has fallen in love with them as well (with sales skyrocketing after Oprah sang its praises).
Why is the UltraHD getting so much attention?
DSi Coming With (Slightly) Lower Price, Plenty of Awesome
The good news about the US launch of the Nintendo DSi is that it's going to cost you $10 less than previously thought, at $170. The bad news is, you're still going to have to wait till April 5 to get your hands on one! Although I'm in love with my DS, I'm saving up as we speak for Nintendo's newest handheld device.
