Within moments of Apple introducing the iPod Nano, two things happened. One, the entire population of Apple fanboys–pale, bespectacled young guys with a well-established Pavlovian erection response to Steve Jobs’ black turtleneck–let out a collective orgasmic sigh. And two, accessory manufacturers, pondering at the Nano-as-Wristwatch product possibilities, let out a collective orgasmic sigh. And behold, Country Comm’s standard 22mm watch band turns that little Nano into a pretty snappy watch. It fits perfectly through the back of the Nano, while allowing you to unclip at will. Comes in a variety of colors, much like the Nano, so you can coordinate.
The Apple Guy who runs the MidPoints Blog told me about this. I'd yet to check it out. I hate to admit how fucking cool it actually looks!
This Almost Happened: Nokia's Star Trek Communicator Call Phone Prototype:
Back in 1998, Nokia created fourteen prototypes of a modified N76 that featured custom sounds, graphics, and hardware to make it look, sound, and behave like a Star Trek communicator.
One of those prototypes recently showed up on Ebay - thus the RARE pic!!
The quote posted with the photo said, "Obviously, the project was quickly abandoned because–really–aren’t “regular” custom ringtones already punishment enough for civilized society?" my answer is Not Even Close!! Expedite this phones manufacturing please!!!
Oh My God..
I never cease to be amazed at the utterly unique and organic simulacrums LEGO mavens are able to create out of a cardboard box of rigid, polygonal plastic blocks. This bust of the Predator is replete with crab-like mouth fangs, sinuous dreadlocks, and day-glo alien blood. The decapitated LEGO Predator bust is made by bricmeister MisterZumbi. I have no idea how these guys do this: Even one of those stock Star Wars X-Wing construction sets utterly confounds me, and I end up making a Rebel Alliance themed castle instead.
Tattoo of the Day...
