The Gadget Roundup for March 26.
Here’s some stuff I found in the last couple weeks, enjoy!
In T-shirt news, apparently there’s been a big rise in Ghostbusters/Pac-Man mashups.
Here’s one from Glennz Tees. $19.95.
And this one from Busted Tees for $20.
io9 had a link to a Costa Rican t-shirt artist known as Tony Aguero G. producing some great sci-fi designs. Here’s my favorite:
Check out all his designs over at his Threadless page.
In more Pac-Man is blowing up news, these stools put the ghosts to work for you. These were created for an exhibition at the Japan Society in New York by architechtural firm Atelier Bow-Wow (fantastic name).
Finally, someone has decided to redesign the standard power strip. As you can see from the slightly disturbing picture above (seriously, what’s with that cat?) Movable Power changes shape to allow for space, or when you have those bulky rectangular AC adapters that only fit at the ends of a normal power strip. Below is a shot of all the possible configurations. Only a design for now, but hopefully we’ll see this in stores soon.
LaCie has created a line of key-shaped USB flash drives to keep you from losing them. Definitely a great idea, I personally hate having something else to carry around with me. $10 from LaCie.
The TapGuard from Guyot Designs fits any widemouth water bottle, such as Nalgene or Sigg, and filters up to 95% of unnecessary chemicals out of tap water, allowing to refill your bottle anywhere you like. $16.50.
I know this is not a gadget, but it’s a great bag. The Fossil Redmond Duffle Bag is $298.
And finally, again, not in the gadget sense, is the Adidas Originals SL 72. Gorgeous. $65 at Zappos.










I really like the power strips. But why is there a scary electric cat in the advertisement? I mean, I like cats & all….and those shoes are great. I should buy them for Conor. He wears the same pair of shoes from like 2 years ago every day.
