happy links friday the 13th.
Quite possibly the most underrated yet most essential piece of tech showcased at CES 2012… is this next-level toilet. Unfortunately, it also reminds me how tech-backwards we are here in America: These are pretty much standard in public restrooms in Tokyo. An alarm clock for news junkies. Specifically, Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me fans. Mass [...]

gifts that keep on giving: robot USB port hub.
As I have found out with my MacBook Pro, USB port real estate is at a premium. This robot USB 4-port hub has LED eyes that light up when it’s powered up. Vintage-futuristic, functional and geeky. $18.99, via.

happy links friday.
Since my brief working vacation in Hawaii (see my twitterfeed for select snaps!), I’ve traded in surfing on a pink funboard rental for surfing the web. Stretch out your index finger; here are some gems I think are worth checking out. The most played game of this year may or may not be the game [...]

gifts that keep on giving: darth vader USB hub.
Unfortunately, I don’t think this would fit on my desk but for $39.99 (on sale; without shipping), it’s got to FIT on some Star Wars superfan’s office space. 4 port unpowered USB 2.0 Hub AND officially licensed by Lucasfilm. Available at ThinkGeek.

gifts that keep on giving: hello kitty gnome laptop cover.
There are few times I feel like I’m fulfilling a stereotype more than when I squeal at the sight of Hello Kitty, so you can imagine my glass-shattering delight when I saw this. The Hello Kitty gnome laptop cover ($44.99 on Modcloth) is the perfect three-way marriage of things I love: Hello Kitty, gnomes and [...]

welcome (back) to the future: marty mcfly’s auto lace-up shoes a reality, hoverboards still not.
Powerlaces, anyone? Nike is only making 1,500 pairs of the MAG shoes, a.k.a. Marty McFly’s self-lacing to be auctioned off on Ebay starting, well, now. Starting bids are hoverboarding around the $2,700 ball park. All proceeds go towards the Michael J. Fox Foundation. And while I seem to have left that cash amount in my [...]

happy links friday: “i’m back (for now!)” edition.
It’s been a long long while since I posted one of these but, in line with my 2011 resolution, I’m resurrecting Happy Links Friday. Indeed, I’m scribbling this just as I’m about to leave for the airport (again). Sometimes I feel like that Tom Hanks character in that movie about living in an airport terminal. [...]
