I must admit, I smiled from ear to ear (however weird that may look like) when I saw this pic.  Gizmodo says "Beer + music + electricity = Ultragoodness", what a spot-on analysis. :) Retails for US$119 and sold online right here.   A perfect gift for the party host!  If you've got a friend who's a guitar player, he'll be grateful to you until kingdom come.  I haven't found an online spec sheet yet, but it seems this is a project by a Chicago based do-it-yourselfer.  It's an actual Heineken keg by the way.  Not sure about the innards as there seems to be no buyer-feedback yet.

  Let's give good 'ol Samsung the spotlight,  much has been covered in quad-media these days for the Apple, Sony, Creative and Microsoft lines of MP3 players.  I like options, as many as possible, which may not be equal options because we do have our own favorites, but options nonetheless. The Samsung S3 Slim was released June 2008 at a suggested retail price of US$79.99.  Priced fairly I think due to the decreasing costs of flash memory these past months.  I'd guess it'll still go down when we hit the holiday season. CNET and ZDNet rates this consumer product at 7.0 out of 10 which to me says it's good for the money.  Note that ...

  A finalist in a design competition run by the appliance manufacturer Electrolux has made a lot of heads turn with a beaming smile.  Imagine a "scanner" that can print out any graphic or text onto a slice of bread!  Oh, you can see with the pic above how this will sell great with advertisers huh? The "Scan Toaster" was developed by industrial designer Sung Bae Chang.  A PC and with a USB cable will most likely be a permanent fixture in tomorrow's cafes... worldwide. You must be looking for the "where to buy" button, eh?  This baby is still in it's design stage, we might see it into production if we can get a lot of ...

  It's a tough call, really...  some would exclaim "at last, I've been waiting for video for too long".  Yet others would say "oh no, now who in his/her right mind would do video with a dSLR?" :)  Ultimately it's the prosumers choice.  Some pros want it, others dont. Here's a summary of the Nikon D90 specks: New 12.3 megapixel Nikon DX-format CMOS image sensor with Integrated Dust Reduction System. Low-noise from ISO 200 to 3200, ISO 6400 available. D-Movie mode records in 320 x 216, 640 x 424 or 1,280 x 720 in AVI format. Scene Recognition System based on 420 pixel RGB sensor for improved autofocus, autofocus and auto white balance, in addition to Face Detection. Multi-CAM 1000 autofocus ...

  Someone from HongKong knows how to live like a geek!  Check out this giant digital clock which also functions as a cool CD holder.  I think the geeky bachelor will find this an awesome add to his collection.  I wonder if it has it in cool blue or digital green colors instead of just the usual red.  I feel like it's a stop watch or a countdown timer! :)  But that's just me. Size is 73 x 13 x 36 cm so it maybe a little too large for the typical bachelor's pad.  If you're a minimalist, you'd surely get turned off as the size will affect your zen in a way. It is available for ...

I was just going through my boxes in the attic and found stacks of old 4GB, 20GB and 40GB hard drives.  I don't really know if they still work and do not care at all about the data in them.  Should I donate these to charity, oh that would be a tongue-in-cheek deal.  No use really for these old relics but the big garbage pile going to the dump. Here's a cool concept I found and all it takes are diamond screwdrivers and say about an hour of your time. An afternoon project probably with your 10 year old. Windchimes using the  your old hard disk platters!  How cool is that.  The finished product, I ...

  OK, now for those who's really REALLY disappointed with their new iPhone 3G's due to sooo many hicups and snags... well, here's another iPhone ap which I'm not really sure "helps" at all.  From a DVice lead, I found out iBeer 2.0 from hottrix.

Brew and drink beer on your iPhone and iPod touch.  This hilarious sight-gag is fully interactive and behaves like a real glass of beer thanks to the iPhone sensors and our spare time. Tilt to sip, shake for foam, even pour iBeer from iPhone to iPhone.

It is available for download via iTunes, and believe it or not, they're asking money for it!  US$2.99 will give you your ...

  I have to admit I was a little amused by the idea of an alarm clock waking me up with an annoying buzz sound only to keep on buzzing UNTIL I do 30 reps.  Designed by Yuk Wang, this novelty alarm clock shaped as a dumbbell has a simple LCD display of a clock on one end.  Found this gym treasure right here and here. Gym buffs would surely appreciate the uncanny way of starting up a great day at the gym.  The question that needs answering is that would you want to wake up to 30 reps everytime!  Forget about throwing this "clock" out the window too.  It may not be too ...

  You may have that killer home theater system that will surely make the ladies go ooohhh and ahhhh... but THAT IS if you can get the ladies home first! :)  Chances are, well... let me stop there.  I don't want to hurt feelings here.  Instead, let me tell you how you can wooo the ladies on the road. The VMOD (Vizualogic Media on Demand) zooms you to the A-list you deserve.  Imagine being able to bring your best media resources on the road.  Got that killer rock library, R&B, smooth jazz or that murderous get-that-beat-down rap music (!) ... hey everything fits right into VMOD. From technabob.com:

Under the hood of the VMOD is actually

  Got this cool lead from TechnaBob.com , thanks dude!  To tell you honestly, this is such a cool concept that I'm beating my head now and asking "Why haven't I thought of this!!! Oh why!" :) Serve up 'dem ice cubes to Tetris fans and I'm sure you'd get the good laugh you need.  Impressive laugh, that is.  Not sure though if they'd want it in their beverage OR just on a clean tray to play Tetris. This great idea from Russian designer Dima Komissarov of http://www.mystake.ru/icetris.html  Comes in these three basic colors (blue, red and green).  Where to shop?  Well as of this writing I still have not found any online store ...
