To many people, even the worst of news can sound better when said with a British accent. And what worse news can you have every morning than a blaring alarm at 5am to wake you up and get you started on your day? Wouldn’t the gentle prodding of, say, Stephen Fry help to better ease [...]

We all have periods of time throughout the day that are essentially wasted – whether it be during a commute, waiting in a doctor’s office, or restlessly sitting through a three minute commercial break until your show resumes. What better way to kill that time than by practicing guitar? Pocketstrings is a mini guitar neck [...]

On the surface, they’re a regular pair of classy polished silver cufflinks, but there’s more than what meets the eye. Each cap can [...]

I remember the day I eagerly unpacked my first Nintendo DS. At the time it was revolutionary–a touch screen gaming platform. I inserted my first game (Nintendogs!) and picked up the stylus for the very first time. It was then that I noticed said stylus had apparently been sized for a toddler instead of an [...]

This past spring I decided to purchase a waterproof camera and was pleasantly surprised to find they’ve come a long way since the disposables with the plastic housings. Every top manufacturer had at least one camera in their rugged line with features such as being waterproof, shockproof, freezeproof–but Nikon was mysteriously absent. Five months later, [...]

The holidays are getting ready to hit again–somehow it seems like I just finished paying off the bills from this past holiday season. Luckily Hasbro has a new toy out that is very cool and doesn’t put a strain on my thinning wallet–the Tonka XT Ricochet Trickster. Last season’s R/C “it” toy seemed to be [...]

Oh Paris Hilton, eat your heart out! I attended a local “Puptoberfest” (yes, it’s exactly what it sounds like) last weekend and came across this vendor– the Mommy Bus. The bus is a fashion pet carrier designed for small dogs and cats up to 15 pounds, 15″ in length, and 13″ tall. It’s a top-entry carrier [...]

Everyone knows the adage “measure twice, cut once” when it comes to construction/home renovations/clothing alterations/etc and it’s absolutely vital since even with the sharpest of eyes, those notches on a measuring tape can seem to run together. Wouldn’t it be great to have an instant readout instead of going blind figuring out if the measurement [...]

Awhile back Julie wrote about the Orpheus wallet, a wallet for guitar players. The company selling that wallet is currently out of business, awaiting a relaunch, but it seemed that from that article’s feedback the price ($107) was a bit much for the average gadgeteer. Whipping Post, makers of a gorgeous line of guitar cases, [...]

With summer just about here, you’re probably going to be spending at least a little bit of time in the water whether at the beach, lake, or backyard pool. The Darkfin gloves might be just what you need to cut through the water like, well, a shark. The gloves are made of latex and with [...]

Are you in need of a new annoying office habit? Really, who’s not? Cross recently released a new line of rollerball pens called Edge with a slide and snap opening mechanism. Instead of twisting the pen or removing the cap, the cap slides outward from the barrel to expose the pen tip. To close, it [...]

There are probably a good amount of gadgets around the house that have an obnoxiously bright LED–from your alarm clock to DVD player to television. LightDims are designed to fit over the LED and reduce or eliminate the glare of the light. LightDims are essentially just stickers. Yes, a Hello Kitty sticker for 10 cents [...]

Math was never one of my favorite subjects in school. Aside from the heavy textbook, we also had to remember to bring a plethora of additional implements: protractor, ruler, #2 pencil, pencil sharpener, calculator, and scrap paper. The Tidy Ruler, available through Luckies of London, combines several of those wicked math tools into one. A [...]
