Look good and remain warm in the winter months with Beardo, the Original Beard Hat.
Regardless of a quick walk to the car, or a steady hike through the snow-ridden streets of the city, most of us tend to either sacrifice our vital warmth to look good or look downright ugly to maintain a level state of comfortable heated-ness.
There have been numerous attempts by the most famous inventors of the world – why do you think Einstein’s hair stood up like that before every December photo? He had hat hair – but only now can consumers count on a solution: the Original Beard Hat.
I will admit that I despise the very notion of carrying and keeping track of an umbrella just to ward off rain. Aside from the pelting liquid bullets not being much of a bother, personally, I never wanted to remain dry so long as I had to spend a lot of time and energy worrying over an umbrella.
Do you ever imagine yourself web-slinging around New York like Spiderman, or zipping around the cosmos like the Silver Surfer? To fly around the world in the Mark IV Iron Man armor, terrifying young children with 300+mph flybys, would be quite a thrill. Although, messing with the Department of Defense might be a different story.
You can now be one step closer to Tony Stark with this awesome LED light up arc reactor shirt from ThinkGeek. Yes, it really lights up, and yes, it really is awesome. (Disclaimer: this unfortunately does not keep deadly shrapnel from entering your heart, although we’ve heard car batteries tend to work wonders.)
This shirt is guaranteed to impress your friends at parties or the hottie at the bar. Just don’t get into the nerdy details of how arc reactor technology could hypothetically work in the real world.
Watch bands for the tiny, sleek sixth-generation iPod Nano are abound these days, and no doubt Christmas will have even more hipsters sporting tacky neon plastic or nylon wristbands. But what about those of us who want something a little more sophisticated?
Well, you could opt for either the TikTok or the LunaTik watch conversion kit — the kit recently broke the record on KickStarter for funds raised, garnering pledges from willing buyers totaling over $941,000. But then there’s still the issue of the plasticky look.
Nay, for those who want something more manly (especially if you’re strapping a neon pink iPod), the good folks over at ThinkGeek have just the watch strap for you. We’re talking real hand-tooled leather and anodized stainless steel here — what could be more manly than that?
As a writer for Gadizmo I get the opportunity to check out lots of new gadgets and this week I had the chance to try out the DarkFin gloves from Black Lagoon Products. I contacted the company to let them know I was interested in reviewing their gloves and they replied to me within 2 hours. Then I got an email with my tracking number letting me know that the gloves were in the mail by the end of the day. I was very impressed with how quickly they responded to my request and would assume that you can expect the same level of service from them as well.
The gloves showed up in my mailbox about 3 days later and I was excited to try them out. They come in a reusable amber UV protect-ant bag that is used for storing the gloves when you’re not using them. Upon opening the bag I found an instruction sheet with easy to follow instructions accompanied with photos. You’re probably wondering why you would need instructions for a pair of gloves, these gloves have a few special instructions to follow. They need to be dried out in a certain way and stored in the bag they come with to extend their life.
686 is known as a technical apparel company that targets snowboarders and skaters, not the type of company you usually read about on Gadizmo but this belt was too cool to pass up. They’ve designed a line of belts that have a built in set of tools.
Function and fashion have come together in this belt to give you a great looking accessory that will save you time on the slopes. This belt is made of 100% full grain water-proof leather. It has a double prong buckle with a built in can opener. One of the prongs is a #2 Phillips screwdriver and the other is a flat head.
Most of the gadgets we feature here on Gadizmo are products that you can find at a store to take home and play with. Unfortunately, I don’t think the iPhone 4 Halloween costume will be coming to your local WalMart for quite some time and when it does it probably won’t be on the shelf next to the $9.99 Spiderman suits.
The genius behind this costume is a guy named John Savio. This is actually his second iPhone costume. Last year he built a 3GS costume but decided it wasn’t enough, here’s an excerpt from his video description:
The Walkman has certainly come a long way since that bulky cassette player. Yes, I still have one on the back of my closet, but it probably won’t get as much play as the NWZ-W252, which is Sony’s newest entry into the classic line.
This one-piece MP3 player is part of the W series, which means it’s water-resistant. However, this is the first MP3 player in that series (the rest are headphones). In other words, you have absolutely no excuse not to do five miles in the rain — unless you consider laziness to be a valid excuse.
Aside from technology, Walkman design has also really evolved. The NWZ-W252 features a wrap-around neck design not just for the headphones, but for the entire device. The whole thing wraps around your head!
The Titan collar stays from Exuvius might not be your typical “gadget” since they don’t fly or have HDMI inputs but in my mind, anything that you can wear to a business meeting and doubles as a tool, is welcome in my book.
These titanium laser cut collar stays are 3 times stronger than stainless steel and feature a thread cutter, bottle opener, and both Phillips and Flathead screwdrivers. Not bad considering the alternative is walking out the door in the morning with a sliver of plastic that doesn’t have a chance of coming in handy.
I’m not sure I believe it either, but Nuvo says that future fathers are strapping on the Ritmo pregnancy sound system to bond with their future offspring.
The Ritmo is a crazy contraption that mommy-to-be straps to her belly — you know, because she doesn’t feel self-conscious enough. However, instead of measuring her circumference, this device allows her to phone in her thoughts, using a cell phone. You can also hook up an iPod so baby can get an idea of your horrible taste in music in-utero.
Also, if dad is feeling left out of the whole pregnancy process, he can strap Ritmo to mom’s belly and get to work on his “I’m number one” claims.
Nuvo says the Ritmo system can be effective as early as 17-week gestation, when a baby’s sense of hearing starts to develop.
