Hasta La Gadget!

I’ve never been all that great at photography. I understand the basics. I can get a figure “technically correct,” but the really awesome photographers with the images you want to see over and over again have something special when it comes to capturing the perfect moment. It helps that technology just seems to be making leaps and bounds in the camera-world these days. We’ve got cameras in space, cameras underwater and cameras at the Olympics. Now, apparently, we’ve got some pretty nice Canon Rebel T3i cameras on Ebay! Last we checked the price was at $654, which is a huge discount over the normal $800 these cameras go for. So grab one quick. More »

When I first looked at these, I thought about where they’d go. Immediately I thought of decorating a child’s room. But, honestly, even though it’s ancient graphic art, I still think a giant mean-looking gorilla doesn’t seem like the perfect thing for a kid to wake up to every morning. Instead, I realized this wasn’t going to go in a kid’s room. This is for a grown man who’s proud of his nerd culture. This is for the geeks out there who have the rare privilege of their own corner of an apartment or house they can decorate without fear. It’s a place for Lego contraptions, Iron Man suits and really fast Internet. This 67% off Donkey Kong Wall Art is for you, nerds of the world. More »

I just bought myself one of them fancy new ultrabooks. I’m very proud of it, and I’ve already filled up the tiny SSD it came with. It’s a lot of fun to play around with. So sleek and fast and pretty, but like any laptop it can be awkward to sit on your lap. Sometimes there’s just not enough table space at the local coffee shop for everyone. That’s where Logitech’s Lapdesk comes in. This thing is built to carry anything laptop with a 14 inch or smaller display, and even has built in speakers and an angled cushion. And even if you’re not convinced, at 70% off it’s at least worth a shot. More »

I have never flown an RC Helicopter before. I’ve ridden in several actual helicopters, but I’ve never actually flown the toy versions. They look like a lot of fun. This 39% off Syma RC Marine Cobra Helicopter Gyro looks pretty serious, too, though. It doesn’t want you messing around, but it’ll fly anywhere you want to go. Sort of wish this one came with some Nerf missiles that shoot out of it. That’d just make it perfect for flying through some unsuspecting neighbor’s open window. I imagine I would end up crashing this helicopter more often than I would land it properly. It seems pretty durable. I mean, it’s got words like “Marines” and “Force” and “Warning” plastered across it, so that means it’s tough, right? More »

It’s not quite the Millennium Falcon. Or even an X-Wing. But still, this Lego T-6 Jedi Shuttle set could help you complete your collection of awesome Star Wars Lego ships! So what if the Jedi Shuttle didn’t get any fantastically quotable one-liners, or do any amazing feats, and who cares that it only ever appeared in The Clone Wars TV series. It’s still important because… well… Star Wars! The $42 set is on sale at a 30% discount. And sometimes, even the most obscure Star Wars ships make awesome Legos. More »
