Cheap and Tiny: Monthly Roundup

If January’s taught us anything, it’s to never make a resolution you don’t have the willpower to support.

Free tripods for the mechanically inclined

Don’t you just hate those times when you’re on vacation and you want to take a picture of you and your cuddle bunny, so you ask a total stranger to take one for you, and they run off with it, cackling as they sprint away with your shots from Cancun, Belize or some other place [...]

It’s like a windfall…of Logitech savings!

Buy.com is officially the bomb. At least until this deal runs out, then they’re back to being just another retail business out to get your hard-earned cash. I’m kidding. Anyhoo….
Logitech’s got quite a few goodies on sale. And considering that some of their stuff tends to be overpriced (hey, this site IS called Cheap and [...]

Roomba dealie for room cleany

Wow, that’s probably the most horrible title I’ve come up with yet. Don’t worry, it’ll get much worse in the future. For now you’ll just have to have your eyes glaze over at this wonderful little robot slave we like to call the iRobot Roomba 4210 Discovery Robotic Floorvac.

Gmini XS 202s from Archos

The Gmini XS 202s isn’t just short one vowel; it’s also just plain old short. Despite its size, it packs a whopping 20GB of storage into a space about the same size as a pack of cigarettes. This player evidently had to make some sacrifices to keep its dimensions down, as there doesn’t seem to [...]

This week on 66

The following event takes place between the hours of 8:00 PM and 9:00 PM…
Wallace Staufenmeier walked quietly into the lit hallway, his senses on edge and on the lookout for any patrolling guards that may give away his location. His phone vibrated quietly in his shirt pocket. Quickly wiping away the bead of sweat forming [...]

Free stuff that isn’t crap

That guy who came up with the saying, “The best things in life are free” must really have either a.) a thief or b.) a master rebater.
No, that’s not a pun, you perv. Pay attention.
If you’re looking into snagging yourself a handful of free – yes, Virginia, it costs nothing – and tiny gadgets, look [...]

Central Charging Station for $25

There never ever seems to be enough power outlets to go around, and it’s always a pain to have to either swap power cables around or plug one of your gadgets to the wall plug behind the fridge (my apartment is, how you would say, a shoebox). But thanks to nifty devices like this centralized [...]
