Maybe it’s the way I talk or that I have really loud friends who can never hear me over their own ramblings, but I’ve never had much luck with cellphone headsets. It’s hard to hold a conversation when you’re constantly yelling, “What?” at each other. Unfortunately, you can’t really use a cellphone without a headset for very long conversations because of the inability to hold them to your ear with your shoulder. It’s freaking impossible to type with both hands, for example, while trying to do that.

So in steps old tech design to save the day.

That’s just beautiful. The damn thing is twice the size of the pictured RAZR and shaped just like something you’d find in your grandmother’s living room.

They also sell an older wired model, but cables are one old technology I can most definitely live without.

If you ever set fire to one of your plastic toys like all good little pyromaniacs did, you can probably imagine the horrible smells this LEGO flamethrower would create.

But frankly, who cares, that thing looks badass. Just hope he only uses it in well ventilated areas.

While not as technically impressive as getting a hard drive to play music, this hard drive wall clock looks rather elegant.

I wouldn’t mind having something like this hanging on my wall. Well, except when guests would ask what caused me to throw my computer into the wall in anger.

Since Akismet really does work quite well to stop spam comments and trackbacks, I’ve set 2BG up to approve comments without my intervention. I know it sucks when you make a comment on a blog and it doesn’t appear immediately on the story.

Of course, if you make a habit of including links to pharmaceutical or gambling sites in your comments, you’re still screwed.

I’m surprised this Kanguru 32GB Flash Max Drive isn’t gold-plated with a smattering of diamonds. The lowest price listed for sale on Froogle is a gasp-inducing $1,524.21.

You would think that they’d work a bit harder on the design and looks of the thing. At that price, it better be the best damn looking flash drive ever.

And if 32GB somehow isn’t enough for you, lengthen your e-penis to unheard of dimensions with the 64GB model.

In honor of the latest episode of Battlestar Galactica kicking all sorts of television ass, I present to you the best pumpkin I’ve seen so far this year.

The eye light even animates back and forth like on the show.

I wonder if I could carve myself a Sharon-O-Lantern…

Well, probably a lot of things, but this is the kind of thing geeks with a sweet tooth make when they gather for Thanksgiving.

Look at that thing. I wouldn’t know whether to eat it or hang it on my wall.

Damn, now I want pie.
