NeoCover is a creation of designer Jake Frey that pairs rare-earth neodymium magnets with a light switch cover to create a super-strong solution to misplaced keys. His website runs through a variety of uses for the pairing including holding a dog leash, Maglite, 27 keys, and–as a testment to its strength– a hammer. The magnets [...]

The Kerala Trance watch immediately evoked that “whoa!” reaction from me when I first saw it–and that’s before seeing it lit up. From the picture alone there was just something sleek and sexy about its simple design of steel on black. Kerala Trance is the creation of the company THE ONE, who have been creating [...]

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 [...]

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.

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, [...]
