ThinkGeek Delivers Office Transport
Published by August 1st, 2007 in Geek Fun and Random. 0 CommentsSpotted these in my email update from ThinkGeek.com where they send me the latest nerdery available. I can think of dozens of uses: mostly ninja work, I suppose, where you’d glide silently like a ghost (a freaky Asian ghost) and impale people with fun weapons. Maybe I could rig something up with my little desk fan, [...]
Here at the Modstomp Manor we’ve got a hankering for tiny mp3 players. I go through about 6 a week. With that in mind, watch for me to pick up one of these in the next couple of weeks. Gizmodo has some details on the new Zen Stone Plus in all its tiny OLED glory, [...]

So I guess the question is “When do we actually get to buy these for our nerdy cubes?”
While I appreciate all the cool designs, people, let’s work on actually getting some stuff to production. Where we won’t buy it, because we’re cheap and lazy.
Hello all. Just read a post about Adam Mapleson, the guy who took a bullet for a stranger to stop a robbery. He’s in pretty bad shape, but he should be ok, fram what the reports are saying. Props to Adam for having some guts, and our best wishes for a speedy recovery.
I’d like [...]
Ben Heckendorn Rocks the Atari. . .Again
Published by March 30th, 2007 in Case Mods, Games, Geek Fun and Hardware. 0 CommentsBen Heckendorn brings gladness to my heart with his clever mods and amazing home-built engineering. This latest beauty brings you the Atari, including cartridge-as-sunshade, in a portable format. Here’s the link to the engadget post, and here’s the link to Ben’s page for this project. It’s not quite nuclear fusion, but’s it’s right up [...]
As if we needed proof. I consider myself a fairly handy guy; I do most of my own repairs on my motorcycle and cars, I build and fix my own computers, I run a Linux firewall I built and configured, and I can do minor home repairs. I (mostly) successfully modded a PSP to [...]
