Hasta La Gadget!

Whether your preferred mode of transportation is a car, truck, motorcycle, moped, Segway, bicycle, unicycle, skateboard, or even an invisible jet plane, comic book fans will want to pimp out their rides with these Marvel Family Car Decals.

These small vinyl stickers come with images of Iron Man, Captain America, Wolverine and Spider-Man, along with their family personas of Mom, Dad, Daughter, Son, Dog and Cat. Since they come with 2 of each character, you’ll even be able to represent a family of 10 (assuming 2 of each type of person – that’s more Moms and Dads than most of us have, but possibly fewer cats.)

Mix and match ‘em to assemble your own superhero league. The full set of decals is available over at ThinkGeek for just $14.99(USD). Now stop asking where The Hulk, Black Widow, Thor, Nick Fury and that guy with the bow and arrow are. You’re not getting them. Personally, I’m waiting  for a set with Magneto, Loki, Green Goblin, Red Skull and Doctor Doom’s families.

One of the disadvantages of vinyl records is that they degrade each time they’re used. Breakbot’s record exacerbates that, but it’s also better in one aspect: you can eat it after you’re sick of listening to it, because it’s made entirely out of chocolate.

The yummy storage device contains songs from the French DJ’s latest album By Your Side.

Here’s one of the tracks that comes out of the chocolate:

The chocolate record is limited to 120 copies and is available from Colette for about $22 (USD). You can get the non-edible but longer lasting record on Amazon.

Star Trek purists might not appreciate the fact that I never liked the original series. I liked the original films well enough, but the original TV show was super cheesy in my opinion. I was a huge fan of The Next Generation and him firmly in camp Picard when it comes to choosing sides.

Fathead has been making life-sized vinyl stickers to decorate your walls of athletes, cars, and all sorts of other things for a long time. The company has announced it is now offering Star Trek fatheads with characters and graphics from the original series and TNG.

Whichever Captain you prefer, you’ll be able to choose between a life-size Kirk or Picard. It’s interesting to note that Kirk is only 5′-11″ tall while Jean-Luc is 6-4″ tall – a good 6 inches taller than Patrick Stewart is in real life. Though to be fair, Kirk is slightly kneeling down in his decal.

The series also includes Mr. Spock, the Enterprise from the original series, and logos from the original series. TNG fans can also get commander William T. Riker, Lieutenant Commander Data, Lieutenant Worf, as well as their updated Enterprise. Voyager, DS9 and Enterprise fans are out of luck for now though. Prices for the decals range from $39.99 for a basic starfleet logo up to $99.99 for the characters and ships.

Your LP collection may be the coelacanth of storage mediums, but it is often a repository of tracks and titles that you simply can’t get anywhere else. Here’s how to digitize your wax-platter music, and finally drag the last remnants of your analog life into the 21st Century. More »

Before even cassettes became kitsch, we had the vinyl record. One legendary Englishman, John Peel, had more vinyl than just about anyone else. And, as one of the most influential disc jockeys ever to grace the airwaves, he often had them before everyone else. More »
