Atomic Pocket Watch

If carrying a pocket watch around doesn't make you cool enough, up the ante with the "Only Atomic Pocket Watch." That guy chanting Pi to the hundredth decimal will have nothing on you for accuracy.

Hook her up with the DC-NCTEL1 Retro USB phone (baby steps).

This one's for you, Nick Hornby.

“A good compilation tape, like breaking up, is hard to do and takes ages longer than it might seem. You've got to kick off with a killer, to grab the attention. Then you've got to take it up a notch, or cool it off a notch…oh, there are a lot of rules.” ― Nick Hornby, High Fidelity

“There are all kinds of mix tapes. there is always a reason to make one.” ― Rob Sheffield, Love is a Mix Tape

 I have the clearest memory of sitting on the floor of my room, starting and stopping recordings of radio sets (yeah, actually).  This specific time, I think I was building a mix around the classic "Brass Monkey." Yes, it was a gift. Yes, it was amazing. Yes, I was in middle school.

Clearly, no thing can replace the true mix tape experience, but the team at SUCK UK deserve bonus points for their aesthetic attempt with the Mix Tape USB Drive.

I can't help it.  Such a great movie.

Ultimate iPhone Camo

There are a lot of iPhone cases out there, but this one from Gizmon takes the cake... and if this still doesn't do it for you, why not accessorize your accessory and add a lens or two?

Battlestar Galactica RPG

Even if it were only the music, this would still be a true work of art...

Containing such gems as:

"Are you sure you want to doom humanity for a hot piece of ass?"

Do I really need to pick one of the 3 options?

The Perfect LowTechGeek Menorah... L'Chaim!

If it were simply an LED menorah (& there are plenty of those out there), it would have been enough... But a recycled motherboard, too?  

Plus, thanks to the green color, this menorah could almost double as a X-mas tree... It might not hold up as a Santa Lucia crown or as decor for Kwanzaa, Omisoka, Dongzhi or Soyal, but at least it (maybe) hits 2 birds with 1 stone...

Also, this one is courtesy of my mother (thanks mom!)...

Happy (belated) holidays :)

Watch for Space Suit Guy, whose presence totally qualifies this video for its own #lowtechgeek approbation.
