At last we have it. The culmination of what I’m sure were minutes of product development effort has finally led us to what can only be described as the pinnacle of USB multi-card reader design, the Enter+Ctrl Keys Card Reader from the folks at usbgeek.com. Not only does it read the cards, it looks like a couple of well-known computer keys at the same time. Pure genius. (...)

You probably haven’t heard of a company called Kopin Corporation. This could be because they spend most of their time crafting micro-displays for the likes of the military and other highly-secretive, if-you-know-too-much-I’ll-have-to-kill-you type organizations. Either that or you really need to get out from under your rock more often. Anyway, Kopin have announced today that they plan to unveil their new Golden-i™ Wearable Computer at Microsoft’s booth # 400 at the Embedded Systems Conference in Boston on September 22 & 23, 2009. Wearable computers a thing of science fiction you say? I beg of you to read on. (...)

Are you looking for a way to improve your telekinetic abilities while having fun at the same time? I can’t even begin to count how many times I have asked myself that very same question.

Well, now you can work on honing those increasingly important skill sets by using one of the latest product introductions from Hammacher-Schlemmer, the Mind Flex Telekinetic Obstacle Course. (...)

Before today, you may have come across yet another product spotlight piece on yet another blog on yet another universal remote control and yawned. That was before. This is now. The Wand Company (Yes, that’s their real name) is a UK-based start-up that is seeking to capitalize on the still-growing Harry Potter craze with its latest invention, the Kymera Magic Want universal remote control. Yes, it’s a remote control, but not just any remote control. You see, this one is in the shape of a magic wand and that, my friend, has made all the difference. (...)

The field of professional gaming is somewhat of a mystery to me. I meet this discussion with a combined sense of jealousy and wonder. Why didn’t I decided to go into this? Play games for a living? Get paid tons of money by hundreds of sponsors to be a full-time gaming geek? Anyway, for me, that ship has sailed, but for thousands of would-be gaming pros the dream is still very much alive. There is one thing I do know, however, and that’s the importance of the right gaming gear. Unless you are decked in the latest technology you could very well be left fragging yourself to death and this is not an option. The latest gaming keyboard from the professional game gear gurus at SteelSeries, the Merc Stealth, is sure to have pros and amateur gamers alike getting out their wallets faster than a GoW wall vault.

According to their website, Adafruit is a company that specializes in kits and parts for original, open source hardware electronics projects. Stuff like silkscreened circuit boards, through-hole parts and extra large solder pads. It reads like dweeb pulp fiction, doesn’t it? Besides, didn’t Radio Shack used to do the same thing? I can remember when all geeks and future manifesto writers would flock to stores like Adafruit to get their gizmo jollies. Seems like they are getting harder and harder to find these days, but we still managed. One of their latest DIY electronics kits, the Ice Tube Clock, certainly looks cool enough.

Motion-capture is popping up everywhere. The Wii brought it home with its WiiMote and the iPod found a way to integrate motion-sensing into a portable communications device. The main problem with most of these motion-capture gizmos is that they aren’t very refined. By this I mean they are good at detecting big motions and not so good at the little ones. The Acceleglove by AthroTronix is set to change all this and its makers hope that the gaming world will be the first to notice. (...)

We all remember the Rubik’s Cube. Six sides of multi-colored mayhem that drove many a would-be puzzle solver to the brink of insanity. How could something so simple turn out to be so mentally taxing? As a child of the 80s I can still remember the craze as it hit the market. Nerds and geeks everywhere flooded the stores to become the first to solve the riddle. I was one of them. It took me only about a week before I was exploring ways of dismantling the device to return it to its original state of order. In an effort to entice a new generation, one lost in video games and technology, the torturers responsible for the Rubik’s Cube have come up with a new creation, the Rubik’s 360. (...)

We’ve all seen the little gadgets that you can carry around that let you know when you’re near a Wi-Fi signal. They normally take the form of a small handheld device that you can fit in your pocket or put on your keychain. Not a bad idea, really. So why don’t we see too many wearable gizmos that do the same thing? Probably because they don’t seem to make much sense and most people wouldn’t be caught dead wearing them. The makers of the WiFi Cap certainly got it right when they called their latest invention “geeky” and I’m sure they won’t be winning any fashion awards anytime soon. (...)

Solar power has remained a bit of an oddity when it comes to its acceptance as a wide-spread alternative power source. It probably has something to do with the cost of making the photovoltaic cells or the fact that no matter what device is created with solar power in mind they always look like something out of Weird Science. That being said, there are places where solar power has found acceptance: highway signage lighting, backyard landscaping lights, and, of course, the calculator. But what about the nerd on the go that needs power for his gadgets in the middle of nowhere? Enter the SOLAR ChumAlong Solar Tracking System. (...)

Just in time for the September release of the Clone Wars: Republic Heroes game for Wii, BDA Consumer Products, Chinese Champions of Controller Creation, has created a set of officially-licensed Nintendo Wii controllers designed to resemble lightsabers and a clone trooper blaster. This is truly the stuff of dweeb dreams.

Licensed by Lucasfilm Ltd. and marketed under BDA’s POWER A brand, the POWER A Light-Up Lightsabers are sculpted replicas of the famed weapons used by Anakin Skywalker and Jedi Master Yoda. Designed for use with the Wii Remote, an on/off switch allows players to control the light-up feature of the lightsaber. The Anakin lightsaber is illuminated with a blue glow, while Yoda’s has a green glow. The Wii Remote fits in the lightsaber handle that has been specially designed to help alleviate Wookie Wrist.

The Clone Trooper Blaster was created to accompany the The Clone Wars: Republic Heroes game and is designed for use with both the Wii Remote and Nunchuk. As if this weren’t enough, it also comes with a set of decals that allow you to add a battle-worn look to your blaster or keep track of your virtual kills. That way, when your friends come over to admire your skills (and laugh at you), they’ll know you are a true Star Wars hero. Just remember to put these nerd nick-knacks under your bed before you invite a girl over. You do want to increase your chances, don’t you?

There’s no price information available on these Wii-riffic offerings just yet, but we do know they are set to hit store shelves sometime this fall. May the force be with you.

Just for a change, let’s cut straight to the chase here – we love Big Time Digital Wall Clock. In fact we love this beast of a digital clock – which measures in at a far from understated 100 x 50cm – so much that the moment I’ve finished writing this post I’m seriously considering heading off to the product page to place an order (before the wife gets home from work and tries to convince me that there are more important things in life – like the bills).

Billed as being manufactured from light weight materials, the Big Time Digital Wall Clock is a great edition to the home/office for geeks who, like me, have a strange fascination with the time (where does it all go?) and feel the need to be constantly reminded that their life is ticking slowly away. And, with this colossus hanging on the wall in front of you I’d suggest – with reasonable certainty – that you’ll never loose sight of the minutes falling away into obscurity. It’s enough to give someone a complex.

Capable of displaying the time in red, green, blue and grey – ensuring that the clock fits in beautifully with your décor – the Big Time Digital Wall Clock retails for just shy of £70 (which equates to around $137/€89 at the time of writing).

Is this the ultimate fishing gadget?

As any fisherman will know, one of the primary keys to landing a successful catch is knowing where the fish actually are and now, thanks to this extremely cool radio controlled radar enabled fishing gadget, you can call on technology to lend a helping hand.

Coming complete with a handheld controller featuring a 5.7 inch LCD radar display, and an endurance of 1.5 hours (on continuous power), this radio controlled fishing boat will help you locate the fish using its onboard radar unit (as well as reporting a host of supplementary information such as exact its co-ordinates, the water temperature and present water depth) and, once the fish are found, the one meter long vessel (yes you read that right) can release its fishing line via a rod attached to the back thus ensuring that the bait is delivered with complete precision into the target area.
