Carrying Gadgets With The Happy Cow Hip Bag Will Make You Feel Like Indiana Jones

Gizmodo AU

As a chronic gadget carryer, I’m pretty much stuck with a backpack all the time. even when I just want to duck down the street, there’s still the phone, the camera, the second review phone, the portable charger, the Kindle… plus non gadgety items as well. I’m not going to carry a man purse in this day and age, but the hip bag from Happy Cow looks Indiana Jones enough to be a proper gadget carrying solution.

Flimsy nylon! Neon plastic! Get outta here with your cheap-o iPod nano watches! The strap for those who grab salmon out of a nearby river for lunch is here. Pure leather. Awesome. Sophisticate – but in a sorta punch-you-in-the-face way.

Cow Dies Needlessly to Coat Eee PC in Horrid Leather Modding

There’s just no excuse for this leather-clad Eee PC 901 mod. No excuse at all. No—not even the fine workmanship which means it’s got an arguably professional-grade finish. A cow died needlessly for this, remember. Daisy, I think she was called. And it’s just a tiny, crappy netbook.

Poufman Luxury Leather Seats Are Like Pac-Man Biting Your Bum

Pac-Man-like padded seats, kitted out in leather and with accompanying power-pill-like stools…sounds like a fabulously retro way to pay furniture-y homage to the ’80s arcade game.
