In case you didn’t know, there’s a new Transformers movie out I think. Here’s an Optimus Prime head that’s also a set of speakers. The robot hero “transforms” by folding his ears or helmet side flaps or whatever those things are out to reveal the speakers. The 3.8 lb speaker head is powered by USB. It looks pretty cool when the helmet’s all closed up but when you actually want to use the speakers it looks pretty stupid.

I love art cars! I’ve always wanted to paint up my car with a cool design but with my artistic skills it would look like something a drunk 3rd grader would draw. I see tons of these BMW made Mini Coopers on the streets near where I live- there are very few garages or driveways so street parking is essential and the little Minis can fit into spots that most other cars are forced to pass by. But I’ve never seen Mini’s as cool as these two!

One of the most effective and smallest camcorders in the market right now, the Vado HD is a video titan. But a small one. The 8GB of onboard storage is acceptable, and an HDMI output is built into the hub for easy connection to your HD TV. There’s also a flip out USB stick that makes transferring videos to your PC - and thence to YouTube - a cinch. (more…)

Pretty neat!

Kent and London know the ABC’s of sustainable design, and we’re singing the praises of their stylish, FSC approved, solid oak chest of Alphabet Drawers. These 26 letter drawers spell function for the entire household, offering a variety of uses from storage in a child’s playroom or bedroom, (more…)

This is the iPod dock with portable, wireless rechargeable speakers that allow you to listen to music anywhere in your home.

This system uses 2 3/4″ spherical, wireless speakers that operate on a wide 915 MHz frequency that won’t interfere with other wireless devices. Each 3-watt speaker produces clear, vibrant sound up to 120′ away from the dock. The dock accepts most iPod models and transmits music to both speakers, which serve as stereo speakers when both are listened to in the same room (mono when used separately). (more…)

I hate to have to plug my iPhone in to charge. My wife keeps my office as dark as a cave to shave five cents off our electric bill so I usually can’t see where to plug my iPhone in. After over a year of use the charge port is rather lose as well. I really want an iPhone with something like the Pre Touchstone charger. (more…)

It’s getting to be later afternoon and time for that afternoon snack attack. Here’s a great geek treat- a keyboard made of S’Mores. I’ll have s’more please. Yummy gooey delicious can’t resist marshmallows, tasty savory melt in your mouth gimme some more chocolate, and ummm, well, graham crackers to hold it together. Great for nerd camping, just hook it up with some licorice wires and you’re on the internet. Mmmm delicious internet. (more…)

Last week, Apple released a free update for iPhone users, pushing them to the third iteration of their mobile operating system. (Yes, iPod Touch users are welcome to upgrade, too, at a very reasonable cost of $10.)
Does the new software live up to the hype and buzz generated? Absolutely.

Here are 10 things I love about the iPhone 3.0 operating system: (more…)

A design by Fatih Can Sariöz, the Globath shower module has pretty much everything except for the kitchen sink (well, and a toilet). It’s flanked by a wardrobe and dryer on one side of the unit, with a washer and storage area on the other side.

If that’s not enough to make you feel like you’re living in a Jetsons-style future, the big circular shower in the middle has a motorized seat that would also make disabled access — such as being able to leave a wheelchair, take a shower and return to it — a snap.
