A USB Drive You Can Hang On The Clothesline

May 9th, 2008 by AndrewD in USB Gadgets

nr2.jpg

As you sit at home with all of your big expensive appliances, it’s hard to contemplate that there are still plenty of people who still dry their clothes the old fashion way, by hanging their wet laundry on a clothesline. The Spincaz is a USB drive which reminds us of the simple ways of doing things we take for granted.

The Spincaz acts as any other wooden clip would. You can attach it to your clothes for a humorous garment accessory, or even hang it out to dry in the air with your clothes. Though hanging an electronic on a wet rag is probably not the best idea if you feel like using your USB drive again at some point.

Green House EXC-ESA2

May 9th, 2008 by Edwin in USB Gadgets, Electronic Gadgets, PC Gadgets

Green House has just released its GH-EXC-ESA2 card that increases the connectivity of your notebook. It will feature a couple of 3.0Gbps eSATA slots, a JBOD external drive, and support for RAID 0/1. Not only will it come in the older PCMCIA Type II model, there will also be a PCI Express version. Both devices have been certified to run on both Windows XP and Vista, so Mac owners are out of the loop yet again. Bummer! No idea on how much this costs, nor whether it will be available outside of Japan or not.

May 8th, 2008 by AndrewD in PC Gadgets

Truth be told, I have an assortment of files on my computer I’d rather not have other people look at. Whether it be secretive outlines for future blog posts or confidential paper work and conversations, there are just some pieces of data I’d rather not have viewed by any nosy desktop hunters.

While there are plenty of ways to hide the files behind a wall of security features, such as marking files as hidden or developing a password system, the only method some people feel secure with is the use of biometrics. The Sequiam Biometrics ScanQ Fingerprint Authentication Scanner and Software is made especially for securing your personal files which need a little extra privacy.

May 8th, 2008 by Chris in Tech News, Software

EVGA USB Video cards are the cheap and easy way to add an extra monitor

May 7th, 2008 by Chris in USB Gadgets, Electronic Gadgets, PC Gadgets

UV Plus+

A few years ago I acquired my first video card which had more than one output. I recall shortly after coming upon a spare monitor which I quickly made space for on my desk. Since then I’ve never considered going back to a single monitor configuration. While almost every video card you’ll find on the shelf has at least two outputs, many midrange desktops don’t have that option. Rather than forcing you to crack open your case, these new external USB cards from EVGA are a simple way to add an extra display to your desktop.

Tiny hand painted keyboards will set your desk apart from the rest

Handpainted Keyboards

If I asked you to describe your keyboard, I’m sure that most people wouldn’t have much more to say aside from color and the name of the manufacturer. Honestly, the only thing special about mine is the fact that the keys glow red so I can see it in the dark if I feel so inclined. However, if you’re the kind of person that hates the ordinary, you should check out these hand painted keyboards.

Turn your old tapes into USB hubs

May 4th, 2008 by Chris in DIY Gadgets, USB Gadgets, Electronic Gadgets, PC Gadgets

VHS Hub

Ah, the VHS tape. I have so many fond memories of thee. We had such great times as I adjusted the tracking on the VCR (after I had figured out how to get it to stop blinking 12:00 of course) and the countless hours I spent rewinding you over the years. They were good times, but with my DVDs I don’t have to mess with any of that. Which is of course why I purged my collection of tapes about a year ago. I can’t really say that I miss them, but if I did, I could always turn one into a USB hub and stare at it every day.
