Hasta La Gadget!

I’ve been a fan of these little building blocks since I was a kid and threw a temper tantrum when my weeks of saving allowance and doing extra chores turned out to be one week short of the money I needed for a Lego Space Shuttle. In the last two decades or so, Lego has really out done itself. The company might be 80 years old now, but they somehow still manage to tap into the creative mind of the 6-year-old in all of us. Lego Star Wars makes me wish I was a kid again. I spent a rather large amount of time building Lego Star Wars ships with my nephews over Christmas. It was a lot more fun than it should’ve been even though my nephew is a control-freak who color coordinated the brick piles after I spilled them onto the floor. Anyway, if you want to have some fun and revert back to a kid again, check out this Lego Star Wars Fury-class Interceptor at a 21% discount. More »

Why are Windows laptops so hard to name? Why are they so confusing? Why are the UX31E and the UX31A completely different generations of laptop? And I know no one wants to use someone else’s marketing for their own goods, but why can’t you just call an Ultrabook an Ultrabook? Now we have Sleekbooks and Zenbooks and Facebooks… well, not yet anyway. Facebook should come out with a laptop just to throw the world into a frenzy. I’m a proud owner of an Asus Zenbook that we recently voted as the best Windows-based laptop available right now, and I love it. It’s a great laptop. This Asus Zenbook UX31E is on sale for a great price, 27% off. Hard to pass up on a laptop with a display that’s easily one of the best on the market. More »

Syma seems to be the name in Gyro Helicopters these days. At least, as far as my very limited knowledge of gyro helicopters go, they seem to be the brand that crops up a lot. They have a pretty good collection of military and civilian-styled gyros. What’s weird is I never really thought of toys like these needing a theme. I mean, isn’t getting to fly a helicopter enough? Do you really need to roleplay the experience? Pretend you’re a famous weather person in a civilian news helicopter? Or a bad actor in a bad movie about the Coast Guard? Maybe you do. Maybe you don’t. Either way, this Syma helicopter is decked out in Coast Guard rescue helicopter colors and has been hugely discounted to 64% off. More »

“Hulk… smash!” Best part of the Avengers movie. Maybe when Hulk goes to town tearing apart Loki. That was pretty awesome, too. I mean, it’s The Incredible Hulk. One of the most powerful superheroes ever. Even Sentry’s power of a million suns couldn’t contain Bruce Banner’s power in World War Hulk. If you’re an angry person prone to fits of rage like I am, then I think you’d have to agree with me that the Hulk is one of the best superheroes in the Marvel universe. If that’s true, then you’ve probably also imagined yourself as an out-of-control rage monster. The only piece of the puzzle, besides the ripped shorts and lack-of-shirt issues I’m sure you’ve already addressed, would be the Hulk’s mighty fists! Well, here they are in all their Hulkish glory on sale for just 10 bucks. More »

Recent events have got me quaking in my boots over losing all my data. If multibillion dollar corporations can’t even keep our data safe, how can we hope to stand a chance against crippling hacks? Well you could start by locally backing up all your files onto this Seagate 1TB FreeAgent GoFlex external hard drive. It’s only $75 with free shipping, which means you’re only paying a few pennies for each gigabyte. A minuscule price to pay for peace of mind. More »
