SNAP! SHOT!

I think once I start wearing recycled camera parts in the form of this Focal length cuff, it secures my role as biggest photo nerd ever. Biggest, most STYLISH, photo nerd ever.

Welcome To The Night Sky

Do you know what is infinity times cooler than those glow-in-the-dark stars that you stick to your ceiling? Your own Personal Planetarium!!!!

It's not even funny how much I want this.

Weinberg, Take Note

After using some sort of "gamer tech cult underground network mojo" my brother bought himself Rock Band for Christmas (as no one would sleep outside a Walmart to get it for him). Thus, for three glorious days, I was in a "band" (uh... with my brother, sister, and respective boy/girlfriends).

I never really understood the appeal of Guitar Hero. I mean, yeah, it was fun but I always felt like I was (frantically) playing the piano rather embodying some sort of bad ass guitar... ugh... hero. Rock Band, however, contains the drums (oh man I love the drums) and, at least for someone who has never touched a drum set, it reealllly felt like I was rocking out on stage, like some sort of Phil Collins gorilla in a Cadbury commerical.

I mean yes, its a lot of kit, and yes you have to convince someone to give up the guitar/base/drums for a turn on the mic, but Rock Band is totally a holiday hype-toy I can get behind.Go make friends with someone who got one for Christmas.

My Buddy

I don't usually gush over cute toys, but two people at my work have these Solar Buddy's, and oh my god, are they ever adorable. And surprisingly calming! How can you not smile as you walk past the little guy who nods his head all day long.

Maybe if everyone had one on their desk, the world would be a much happier place.

Don't Look Back In Anger

Lomography, you may have recently dropped the ball with my order of the Diana+, but I think it's time to forgive you because you just released the Holga 120 Pinhole, and I can't stay mad at you when you keep releasing such wonderful cameras.

Ok, maybe I can a little bit. But Holga, it's not your fault baby. I love you.

Kisses And Hugs

'Tis the season to give. And there's just no better way than to help a child in need.

Hey, you might get something back too.

My Arteries Are Clogging Just Thinking About It

I don't have much to say about this but....it makes mini donuts. How could I NOT post about it? Miniature deep fried puffs of deliciousness all in the comfort of your own home! Genius.

You Need This

I prefer to post pretty things, but I really truly can't pass this up. Have you seen this? I need the Magwear Handyman's Helper. Just a few weeks ago I was trying to install 3 curtain rods in my room, and it took over an hour because I dropped so.many.nails.

No honestly, I can't even begin to tell you how many I dropped. I kept losing them in the floor boards. The cats tried to eat them. I was actually yelling alone in my room by the end of it.

I need this.

Wii Would Like To Play

I love free stuff (who doesn't?) and I love the Wii. Put them together and what do you get?

Answer: A great offer from Nintendo.

Lomo Fidelity

Not to have a total camera boner all over LIAL for the 2nd time in a week, but I just find it so bizarre that The White Stripes have teamed up with Lomography to create the JACK Holga and MEG Diana+. They are limited to 200 pieces each, so if you're a lomo fan and a White Stripes fan, scoop one up!

His Master's Voice

These speakers are incredible.

I just don't have anything else to say about that.

Make Me A Mix Tape, Something Old, Something New

There's something so sweet and genuine about mix tapes that I don't think can ever be re-created. But with this Mix Tape USB Drive you sure could give it your best shot to make that magic happen once again.

The People's Princess

I have a Holga and I love it. But when I bought it a couple of years ago, what I really wanted was a Diana, but at that time, they were pretty hard to find in working order. That's why I am so so so so SO excited that Lomography has reproduced them! To a T! With even more features than before!

I am a little afraid of the fact that if I do in fact purchase one, Jane will make fun of the fact that my collection of cameras has grown to 18. But Jane, I never make fun of your vibrator collection. And I really should. Because it's big.

Best Idea Ever

I had to post again, because oh my gosh this is so genius.

Living in and old apartment means I only have 1 outlet in each room. Long ugly extension cords wrap around my baseboards and over doorways. I try to hide them, but wouldn't it be that much more wonderful if I could proudly display them instead?

Someone give this woman lots of money to develop her ideas.

She Blinded Me With Science

I don't know about you, but I don't know if I like it when my beauty tools are smarter than me.

That's why I can't decide if I love or am envious of this ingenious little Illuminating Tweezer from Sephora.

That's right, there's a light built into the tweezers, so you won't leave the house with embarrassing little hairs left unkempt.

Perfect for all those occasions when the power goes out all over town and you just have to finish tweezing before a night of looting and rioting in the streets.

Hugz!

I can't think of a smarmy introduction, so lets get to it! HUG SHIRT! Thanks to Bluetooth technology (also thanks for letting me wirelessly download shitty photos off the cell phone) your friends can text your shirt a hug! A personalized hug. Thats right, the shirt will mimic the physical act of hugging that is personal to each of your friends including... position, body temperature, pressure even heart beat!

Finally... you can get a hug from your mom at the clubs (or a grope from Dan at work)!

Gel Dentifrice

Show me one person who wouldn't love to get the last little bit out of the toothpaste tube by using the Tube Wringer from The Museum of Useful Things, and I will say that you showed me a liar.

Toast Love

So let's just say you're running out the door early, but you want to leave your significant other a note. You also wished you had the time to cook him breakfast, but alas you are no superwoman.

Suddenly, you realize you have no pens or paper. What's a girl to do?

Answer: write him a note on a piece of toast. Cook him breakfast and leave him a love letter. Wow, you are wonderwoman. Designer Sasha Tseng is also fairly smart.

Retina Scan Complete

I can't take how small technological devices are becoming. I just touched an iPhone for the first time this weekend, and I almost had a heart attack due to sheer awesomeness.

And now this? I can't take it anymore. Just install a tiny LCD screen into the palm of my hand, please.

Not That I Need My Beauty Sleep...

Do you know what I hate? Waking up to the sound of the alarm clock, when it wasn't set for me. Do you know how much precious sleep I've lost over the course of my lifetime because of this? Lots.

What's this? A Vibrating Ring Alarm Clock? You mean, Mike and I could each wear one to bed, set them to our own respective wake-up times, and never be woken by one another's alarm again?

Yanko Design, I think you just saved our relationship.
