Grind It! Skateboard Shaped Flash Drive
Skateboarding geeks unite; first you could bring the geek to your deck, now go the opposite route and put the memory in a deck with a 2GB SkateDrive ($22).
It combines the desktop convenience of a finger board with the memory of a thumb drive — your hands will be happy and your hobbies combined.
Girl Skateboard Epitomizes iPhone + Skating Nightmare
My BF is a skateboarding and gadget geek, and paging through one of his catalog's the other day, I couldn't believe how cool this Biebel deck was — not to mention how awesomely representative it is of being a skateboarding and gadget geek!
No, no one ever wants to see a cracked iPhone, but I can't help but think that it would be a badge of honor to a skateboarder (albeit a very expensive badge of honor). The deck's maker, Girl, also has extra cred: one of the founders is the crazy talented Spike Jonze!

Skateboard Speaker Shelf: Love It or Leave It?
Pottery Barn has added some youthful and colorful flair to their Smart Tech furniture line, resulting in a skateboard shelf that plays your totally tubular tunes. It comes with two built-in speakers, easy-mount French cleats, and a dock that’s compatible with most iPods. The models definitely rids the Smart Tech line of its "understated and hidden" reputation, but I imagine they'd be pretty cute in a child's room.

Skate 2 Review: Frustrating, Then Totally Addictive
The first time I popped open my copy of Skate 2, I knew I was in for a different kind of skating game. Not only are you able to get a crash course in boarding trickery at the local skate park, but you can also roam free around the city of New San Vanelona — jumping curbs, popping ollies, accepting challenges and running from the police Burnout Paradise style. I later found that Skate 2 kept me entertained, but at times it would make me oh-so-frustrated.
Rob and Big Will Call You Out For Blogging on "The 'Space"
Aside from The Hills, my other favorite MTV show is Rob & Big — it's a 180 from the drama of the LA girls, with skateboarder Rob Dyrdek and his BFF Big living it up a lot more lighthearted than their network neighbors. What they do have in common, though, is the frequent mention and featuring of gadgets and tech. The boys have an in-home ATM, a net gun, and spend plenty of time on their Macs and on the internet and "The 'Space" (from now on, this is all I will call MySpace).
