I’m attracted to anything “flashy,” but I’m also a big fan of glow in the dark items. I couldn’t be more excited when I saw this glowing keyboard stickers from ThinkGeek. Why? because I have this huge desire to use my laptop in the dark. For more privacy with my recent “room mate.” Not that she’s nosy but it’s so cool to blog in the dark and type away.

The glowing stickers are so fun to see. As you can see in the photo above, it’s easy to apply – just peel and stick! But so much for my excitement these stickers are not glow in the dark items. They said it is made of high quality fluorescent print that reflects any ambient source of light. It works with the dimmest light like your laptop or desktop’s monitor or a small USB light. You can choose the colors that suit your mood – pink, blue, orange, yellow for only $9.95 each. I think this is awesome!

Love iPhones? You should because it’s the coolest mobile phone on the planet. I love their different applications, touch screen and sleek design. Many products came out in the market to protect your beloved iPhone, like invisible shield and silicone case,  but when I saw this wood iPhone shellcase and slipcase from Think Geek, I was blown away. Vers made these cool wooden casing. What I particularly like about it, aside from a good sturdy protection, it’s also not a bacteria magnet. In using silicone casing, depending on the temperature where you live (I live in a tropical country) “sweating” is inevitable. Hence, the silicon casing becomes sticky and germ factory. It is  eco-friendly as well because it is made of bamboo. As we all know, bamboo is a grass and always an available abundant source. If you want something more fancy, you can choose  Walnut or Cherry wood. In feng shui, wood is considered yin. Using wooden casing is particularly beneficial for yang people. It balances the yin and yang in you. Too much yang means unrest.

The soft felt interior will protect your iPhone. Here’s more info about the product:

  • Beautiful iPhone case is hand-crafted from solid hardwoods & bamboo
  • Steel pin reinforced corners for added strength
  • Soft, scratch-resistant lining
  • Choose from Cherry, Walnut or Bamboo wood
  • Oval window on front displays the time from your iPhone screen
  • Durable UV & moisture-resistant clear coat
  • Large radii for easy pocket & bag access
  • Quick-eject rear finger detail
  • Dimensions 2.8″ x 4.8″ x .8″

iPhone fanatics is this cool? or what?

The Apple iPad is out, everyone is going crazy to buy one. According to Crunch Gear, iPad sales estimated to top 120,000 on the first day. Apple fanatics, cults and geeks made sure Steve Jobs to be a very happy man. Now that “The iPad” is out, the battle starts among sellers of consumer electronics accessories to come up with cool accessories to make the iPad experience worth the wait. The iPad waterproof case, I must say is functional and something I would like to buy for my (to buy wish list) iPad. The iPad waterproof case will not just protect your iPad from water, but as well as dust, dirt, sand and other elements. The strap enables you to wear it around your neck or shoulder with adjustable straps. The waterproof case will let you be with your beloved iPad whenever, wherever.

Does the above photo of Steve Jobs looks familiar? Your guess is right! They said he looks like Moses holding a tablet. The only difference is Steve Jobs is introducing an iPad tablet where he claimed that “it will change the world.” I wonder how it will change the world? For starters, the touchscreen operated iPad will provide a convenient way to buy books, newspapers, play games, watch movies and TV shows and most of all you can use it to surf the web and use it as a smart phone. Yes, you heard it right,  that huge tablet as a smart phone. Sounds like you won’t even need a laptop with this new iPad. Using 3G wireless internet and telecommunications services exclusively for iPad will connect you to the world. 

With the above features, is the new iPad an all-in-one device? Could be… but we don’t know yet how it will perform when it’s out in the market soon. And that is for a whopping $499-$699 in the US. Hopefully, Apple will not disappoint their avid customers. 

For someone who likes all-in-one device, like the touchscreen printer-scanner-copier in one, GPS, etc., this is a new goldmine.  I like all-in-one devices, it means less clutter, more space. For a good review about Steve Jobs presentation about the iPad, click here. But if you’re on the verge of buying your eBook reader and on a budget, another choice would be Amazon Kindle. It will give you what you an eBook for a lower price.

You might be wondering why I keep posting about USB flash drives. It’s just one of my favorite tech gadgets that replaced CDs and diskettes. So light and handy, it’s my tiny attache case with my files. As the name implies, USB flash drives are smaller, faster, and have thousands of times more capacity. But due to everyday use, wear and tear is inevitable. But what if you accidentally drop your precious flash drive in the sink or in your coffee mug? Accidents do happen when you least expect it. Or let’s say you go scuba diving and you can’t part with your flash drive. Experts know this.. hence, with improvements in size, design, capacity and price, they decided to make waterproof USB flash drives.  The waterproof USB flash drives has a shock resistance rubber body that protects your important data. Your choice of capacity – 2GB, 4GB, 8GB and 16GB.

Let’s face it, you can’t live without your laptop. Not that you need your homework or any real work done, but you’re gonna miss your fave games on Facebook! You can’t afford to let your friends level up in Farm Town…no, no, no. You must beat them! And you can’t miss the latest gigs.  No more worries, introducing DormVault Laptop Safe! This is basically for dormers but what the heck, you can even have this in your room. Pilfering hands of nosy roommates and siblings off your laptop not to mention thieves. What I particularly like about this laptop vault is the big metal box bolts to your dorm furniture from the inside. It can house 17″ laptops. There’s even extra room for other valuables like wallet, cell phone, passport, etc. Nice isn’t it? Our valuables are investments, keep it safe!

Need light? Here comes the USB Flash Drive cum Lighter. This USB drive must be designed for geeky smokers. You can smoke while saving your data. Nothing can be cooler than that! A good way of hiding and storing your files, no one will suspect it works as a thumb drive as well.  The lighter is refillable and the USB connector slides out of the bottom of the lighter. You can even adjust the flame. A practical geeky stuff.

Your choice: available in cowboy style 4GB and polished chrome finished 8GB capacity can be found in ThinkGeek. Grab it before it disappears.

Finally! Rechargeable batteries without tagging along the battery charger is here! How many times have you experienced your rechargeable batteries giving up on you just when you’re about to shoot awesome photos? I experienced it many times and it’s a total bummer. So when I saw this USBCELL rechargeable batteries, I can’t help but smile because finally I can eliminate the need for extra equipment especially when I travel.  You just plug it in your laptop while you surf or blog and you can instantly use it for the next photo session. Awesome isn’t it?  It’s Eco-fab because no need for extra equipment to recharge and that saves hours of power. Less clutter as well. Easy charge from any USB port. Currently, they’re available only in NiMH 1.2v 1300mah AA batteries. But let’s wait and keep an eye out for AAA’s, C’s and D’s. Happy charging!

Traveling this weekend? If you can’t live without your techno gadgets like your laptop, iPod, cell phones, etc. taking too much power outlets and electronic device is a bummer. Less is the best. Traveling light allows you to explore the place you’re visiting. I’ve learned it the hard way. I’ve been a heavy packer in the past and I end up breaking my back from carrying too much stuff. Just to give you an idea how heavy I pack, I bring my bathroom with me. Nowadays, I can live in one knapsack for 3 days. Talk about improvements huh?

So you may want to consider taking along with you this Dual USB Charger and Power Surge Protector from Belkin. Usually hotels only offer one power outlet to plug your gadgets but now you can extend it up to five outlets! The 2 USB connection is great for charging almost any USB device (cannot be used for data transfer) and the 3 AC power outlets (with surge protector) is good for laptops or notebooks. You can even dry your hair at the same time. Here are the juicy details:

  • 360-degree rotating plug with 4 locking position
  • Provides complete surge protection through all outlets
  • Offers compact, lightweight, efficient design
  • Features mini-USB cable to charge virtually any USB device including BlackBerry® and Motorola® RAZR phones
  • Comes with Lifetime Product and $75,000 Connected Equipment Warranties

For some people who doesn’t want to bring a lot of electronic device when traveling I think this product is good over all. But as a safety reminder always check the specs before buying a product. You may end up buying something that you have no use for. Have a safe trip!
