One Dollar SD/MMC/MINISD Card Reader

Remember the SD/MMC Card Reader Roundup, from oh so long ago? Well, forget it. That entry is effectively obsolete.
This is a $1 Card Reader. That’s right. One dollar. It handles SD, MMC, MINISD, RSMMC, and MOBILE (whatever that is), and it costs one dollar. One. Dollar. A single greenback. Uno smackeroono. No rebates or any [...]

More Cheap SD Cards

You know how much I paid for a 1GB SD card just six months ago? I’m not going to tell you. Let’s just say that writing this entry has left me in tears.

OEM 2GB SD Card: $26

Seagate 400GB HD for $109.99

Now and then, we like to mix things up a bit and deviate slightly from the cheap and tiny definition. Well, it’s not that much of a deviation if you really think about it from another perspective. Next to an elephant, a hard drive might be considered tiny. Heck, stick a pre-gastric bypass Star Jones [...]

Verbatim USB 2GB flash drive for $79.99

What could you buy for 80 bucks? You could probably use it to pay for a day at the slopes, if you were so inclined. But then there’s that whole thing about having to deal with foot pain and the cold and the showboating snowboarders with their flashy pants and wrinkly sunburned skin and meticulously [...]

USB cufflinks are fashionably geeky

USB cufflinks: For the discerning businessman looking to get some quick work done during those stuffy fundraising dinners downtown. Now your outfit can scream “fashionable” instead of “geek” or “bargain bin at Big 5″.

Thumb drives for tree-huggers

Considering how prolific thumb drives have gotten this past year, we’d be inclined to disregard the statement we all made three years ago in which we foolishly exclaimed, “Of course you’ll have to spend $75 for a 64MB thumb drive! What, you think these things grow on trees?!” But boy, after we saw these new [...]

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 [...]
