Getting rid of old electronics is just more than some can handle.  After all they gave you years of faithful service.  Now that they are not needed or not working they have to find another use rather than being tossed away to slowly rot in some city dump.  Thankfully Geekware has a good use for those old iMac keyboards.  They’ve been turned into 3 different useful items.  You can pick up a Blue Bondi Keyboard Clock, a Magnetic Message Centre or a Graphite Keyboard Clock.  They range in priced from $29.95 on up to $34.95.

Walking Wings for your little ones

by edwin on March 18, 2010

walking-wingsParents these days want to capture their newborn child’s first moments, and when your baby is learning how to walk, you might have to bend over dozens of times each day to make sure a mis-step does not result in a fall. The Walking Wings supposedly saves your back from such strenuous activity, where it will wrap itself around your baby’s upper torso over her arms, connected to a couple of long straps which you can hold to provide ample support. Available in blue and pink colors, it has been padded for extra comfort.

Sailor lamp bobs around

by edwin on March 17, 2010

buoy-lampCheck out this unique lamp known as the Sailor, being the brainchild of designer Julia Reischel. Made in the same spirit of that of a buoy, the Sailor lamp comes with a weighted bottom which allows the lamp to lean into virtually any angled position. This lamp is equipped with an integrated motion sensor which will dim the light whenever the light bulb gets closer to the ground. What happens if someone pushes it too hard and fast? Will the lamp break upon contact with a wall or floor?

xbox-coffinHmmm, all you Xbox 360 owners out there – how many Red Ring of Death situations have you encountered to date? Too numerous to count? Well, we have news for you – designer Alexis Vanamois decided to come up with actual coffins for the console, and while the prototype is made out of tin instead of cardboard, it lets you ship your Xbox 360 back to Microsoft after a RRoD incident to make a statement of your displeasure. Guess someone could make a whole lot of money conducting funeral services for Xbox 360s…

Soccer Stereo Headphone

by edwin on March 17, 2010

soccer-hphonesWith World Cup fever just around the corner, we are guessing that third party manufacturers of gadgets and gizmos would want to jump aboard the bandwagon as well. Case in point, the Soccer Stereo Headphone which was specially designed to double up as a decorative piece of tech in your house (or office if you so dare). No idea on who would fork out $17 for this though – would you?

Iron Man ARC light clip on

by edwin on March 15, 2010

ironman-lightWant to be more geeky in your dressing? The Iron Man ARC light clip on will be able to do just that, where it clips onto a regular shirt while gaining its power from a couple of batteries. Of course, this means you won’t be able to shoot any photon torpedoes or fire laser beams at your office nemesis, but it will certainly lower your street cred score. This diamond shape is meant to reflect the armor on the Mark V model, but it doesn’t seem as though it is capable of being more famous than Superman’s diamond-shaped logo emblazoned across his chest. Feel all super-heroic with this $8 device.

BlackBerry Lego Phone

by edwin on March 13, 2010

lego-blackberry-2Talk about literally bricking your phone – this time not through a botched firmware update, but via thousands of Lego bricks as well as a flatscreen TV in a form factor which measures a pretty impressive 5 feet tall. No mere mortal can come up with this though, as it is the handiwork of renowned Lego artist Nathan Sawaya. We do wonder what kind of monstrous calling plan that this one comes with…

Jurassic watch blows your bank account away

by edwin on March 12, 2010

jurassic-watch_cgDo you happen to have a wad of cash which you are not too sure what to do with? Well, you could probably buy a very nice house instead of spending all that dough on the Louis Moinet Jurassic Tourbillon which actually comes with some fragments of dinosaur bones. Of course, the price is sky high not because of those ancient, decaying bones, but simply because you get 3.46 cts of diamonds, an 18k white gold case and an 18k gold clasp to go along with it. This nifty timepiece has a 72 hour power reserve and a functional tourbillon.
