Vintage Geek: The Return of the Turntable
As if it ever left? I love the sound of old records, and I love the look of an old turntable. I remember messing around with my grandparents' record player during the Summer - the music of Patsy Cline will forever remind me of my grandmother – and if I had room in my apartment, I would totally rock a deck of my own.
Turntable Watch: Love It or Leave It?
I've admitted my very strong desire for a phone watch like Penny had because all I want is geeky, geeky watches.
I am usually on the lookout for watches that do something cool like teach me Japanese, but I have also fallen so hard for this Turntable Watch ($175). Its main draw for me is giving me the dorky desire to make a scratching sound every time I check the time, so it might be good for me, annoying for my friends.
Set Your Old Vinyl Free With A USB Turntable
Well add the USB turntable to the list of USB items I probably don't need, but sound really cool. The handy gadget allows you to liberate all your antiquated vinyl by connecting it directly to your computer.
Simply plug the turntable into the USB port on your PC (Windows or Mac) and use the included Audacity software to rip your vinyl directly to MP3 (or WAV format) for playback on all your newfangled devices like the iPod.

Gift Guide: USB Turntables for the Music Aficionado
The audio qualité that comes from the spinning grooves of a good ole vinyl record can't be denied. It just can't. But unfortunately, my record collection is of no help to me when the tone deaf dude adjacent to me on my morning public transit ride is humming incessantly, or when Chatty Cathy's cell phone conversation can be heard from yards away.
Do You Have a Turntable at Your House?
No matter how convenient (and easy to store) digital music may be, I have a very hard time imagining getting rid of my Technics turntable and vinyl collection. There's something so civilized about putting a favorite album on the turntable. What about you?
Turntable Phonograph: Love It or Leave It?
Pink gadget alert! This Turntable Phonograph from Brando is bubblegum pink, retro, and totally charming. So charming that I'm forgiving it for not being an iPod dock or MP3 player as well.
Check Your Head Pillow Cases: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?
Hooray for more retro-themed goodies! I'm digging the Check Your Head Pillow Cases ($25), featuring a cute screen print of a vintage turntable on one side and a set of headphones on the other.
They're similar to the mixed tape pillowcase I found earlier this year, so now I'm excited to have another geeky set in rotation.
Buzz Gift Guide: The Party Hostess
Got a friend who always loves to entertain? Don't forget to repay her for all those awesome nights with a little something special. I'm digging Alice in Wonderland tumblers which feel very Tim Burton-esque, a cute and functional Joan Holloway apron, and Cash Cab Trivia, which should create a heated game among her party guests.
A Peek Inside the New Twitter Office
The coolest kid on the Internet has some new digs! The Twitter crew moved into their new offices in San Francisco's SOMA district yesterday, and a friend gave me a sneak peek at their new office. My favorite part: the "@" symbol light I spotted a couple months ago decorating their lounge area.
