Hasta La Gadget!

Your desk, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the mini starship Enterprise. This Enterprise is the perfect size to display anywhere and it even lights up.

The tiny starship measures just 5″ x 2″ x 2.5″ while on the stand. This awesome mini ship comes with a mini book telling you all about the Enterprise too. You will have to provide the phaser noises yourself though, as you imitate Scotty yelling, “I’m giving you all she’s got Captain!”

The mini Enterprise is perfect for your cubicle or office. It’s only $12.95(USD) from ThinkGeek. It makes a cool little night light too. I would hang it from the ceiling.

Do you often get bamboozled trying to figure out which cable is which when wiring up your home theater gear? While you could simply put color-coded dots on the cable ends, that’s just not nearly as cool or geeky as these new HDMI cables with light-up color-coding.

Coming soon from PDP, The Afterglow is a 6-foot-long HDMI cable that group four cables into one. The light-up LED heads make it easy to identify which cable is connected to which device, and just looks cool when connected.

What’s not clear is how much slack you’ll get at each end of the cable – since not all of your devices are going to be that close together. I can only imagine that the other end of the cable has a bit more distance between the connectors, but we’ll have to wait until PDP releases the full specs – which I’m guessing will turn up during CES in early January 2013.
