Aiwa AZ BS32 Water-Resistant MP3 Player

Shower singing, in my opinion, is a lost art. Until the advent of karaoke (and the subsequent increase in drunken stabbings from too many rounds of Jägermeister and Copacobana), the only place a dream-inspired, tone-deaf soul could pour his monotone heart out was in the midst of steam and soap scum. Unfortunately, acoustics aren’t always [...]

Not Just Child’s Play

Christmas is a time for joy, peace, and understanding. Too bad we’re all such greedy wankers then, eh? But seriously, if you even have one ounce of common decency left in you (the eensy-weensy speck of your soul that hasn’t been crushed by the ruthless corporate machine), then read on.
Instead of just giving love on [...]

Aiptek PocketCam Classic for $19.99

It’s retro! It’s tiny!

SoftSpeaker Pillow Speaker

If you’re a fan of tiny gadgets, chances are you’re lazy. I don’t mean the surfing-for-nekkid-pictures-all-day-at-work type of lazy, rather you’re probably the kind of person who doesn’t like lugging huge gadgets around because your spaghetti arms aren’t quite al dente enough to handle the extra 10 ounces. Either that or you’re worried the extra [...]

VR3 MP3 FM Modulator

I was sitting in my Pinto out in the front yard one day, minding my own business when a thought suddenly hit me: How can I play MP3 files off my USB thumb drive and have it go through my car’s stereo system without the use of troublesome cords or expensive equipment? Sure, I was [...]

Hand Warmers, Tech Style

Fall is upon us, and we all know that means cold, lonely nights under the covers for us intellectually-superior bachelors. But before I lay my head down and cry myself to sleep, I like to open up a bag* of Hand Warmers (or for the sake of our devoted Spanish-speaking audience [all four of you], [...]

Petzl E47P Tikka Plus Headlamp for $25

Any tech nerd worth his silicon knows that getting your hardware cleaned regularly can prevent future problems like flaccid performance and premature shutdowns. While bringing a can of compressed air and several jars of elbow grease to the party may make for a particularly exciting night, groping about your bits and bobs without proper lighting [...]

I’ve been hunting around for a tiny desktop PC (prebuilt or barebone kit with parts) to use as a basic Windows home workstation, but the average Shuttle Cube is a bit high on the price-meter, so into the discount outlets and refurb bins we go for cheap deals:
This small form HP Evo d500 (from [...]
