For the Geek on the Go

For the Geek that’s always on the move and doesnt have time to look for cable for this and cables for that, LaCie has designed a whole set of flat cables, boasting seven different interfaces:

“USB A to B; USB A to Mini B; USB A male to A female; FireWire 400 to FireWire 400; FireWire 400 to FireWire 800; FireWire 800 to FireWire 800; and eSATA to eSATA”

Call me weird, but there’s something about this wrapping paper that I love. Maybe its because its a simple print on simple paper- the type of paper brown paper bags are made of.

I don’t know where its from because it was actually from one of the gifts my sister gave to me last year. I hope she can recall where she found this amazing paper.

Like I said, call me weird.

December 12, 2010 – Chicago (taken with Polaroid Super Shooter with Fujifilm FP-100c film)
It was bad, but I’m not complaining. At least it wasnt as bad as the blizzard that hit Chicago in 1967. I wish I was around for that. That would have been great.

Homemade Journal for Homemade Ideas

Do you have a how-to guru in your life and not sure what to get [or make] them? Well the simplest route is to gift them a homemade journal to store all of their homemade ideas and how-to’s. With this gift idea, you can let your imagination run wild, what with the freedom to choose your own theme, colors, paper, design, and everything else!

I found a helpful directory of home journal how-to’s to get you started, but it’s more for inspiration rather than strict procedures to follow. You’re allowed to make this your own creation. Have fun!

LEGO My Camera!

Spotlight: This is probably the closest we’ll get to building memories with Lego blocks.
 
This camera seems as though it is made completely out of Lego bricks. However, it is a fully functional 3 MP digital camera with a hard drive capable of storing about 80 photos. You can find it at almost every toy store or here.

No butts about it.

This week’s Friday Favorite will make anyone smile. Not cheeky at all.
