Marvel Fans get Custom Headphones

by Jay Garrett on March 12, 2010

Whether you’re a fan of Iron Man, The Hulk, The Punisher, Wolverine, or all of the X-Men The Marvel Coloud Headphones have something for you :)

It would be too simple to describe these headphones and their frequency sensitivity, db output and the like. So, instead why not read what Coloud says about their own cans:

“Coloud turns brands into sound. Our cords transfer visual life from any music player you choose to plug it into. We create function, value design and promote quality headphones that endure,enrich,and extend your lifelong music experience.”

Personally I’m doubting that you’d be buying these headphones for their audiophile reproduction – more for the fact that The Punisher logo looks cool or Wolverine is one of the bestest Marvel characters. EVER!

You can get them here: Bad Toy Store.

If that’s not enough – why not check out the huge range of comic hero based TV’s on offer here?

New BUGBase Brings Self-Build Mobile to Pre and Droid Smartphone Levels

by Jay Garrett on February 15, 2010

Every hardware tweaker will know about BUGLabs‘ build-a-phone, kinda like a Modu self-build, but now it’s had a refresh.

BUG 2.0 is now faster and Android ready.

The latest BUGBase, which is essentially the brain and nerve center, has been upgraded to TI’s OMAP 3 platform.

Before I get “huh?” from you – this actually brings the base up to spec with the likes of Motorola’s Droid and the Palm Pre.

Because it now stands shoulder-to-shoulder with top-end smartphones it’s only reasonable that it should support Android – thankfully it does. This also gives the new BUGBase tastey access to the Android App Market.

Worry not gadget builders! Although the BUGBase is new and sparkly it will still play nice with all those other bits you’ve been using to create your frankengadgets with – whether they be WI-Fi radios, GPS receivers, speakers or the BUGMotion accelerometer.

As yet there’s no price or release date for the new BUGbase.

Yet another one of my friends is about to become a dad.
Now, I’d like to think that if I became a parent I’d be more about what’s best for the kid rather than getting a trendy pushchair, or all-terrain buggy…….
But then I saw this on Kid Kustom USA’s site – it almost made me want [...]

Take the typewriteresque keyboard or the mouse which resembles something that would normally be [...]

Datamancer are known for creating wonderfully steampunky contraptions and have already produced groovy keyboards such as the Scrabble Keyboard and the Aviator Keyboard.
But the coolest so far in my opinion is this: the Datamancer Deco Keyboard.
The keys are similar to the Aviator but you also get a black reflective acrylic faceplate, bright white LEDs, and a frame [...]
