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. More »

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. More »

Cow Dies Needlessly to Coat Eee PC in Horrid Leather Modding

3:00AM November 5, 2008 | Kit Eaton

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. If you’re going to mod anything into a leather-clad version we want to see a 150-inch plasma TV in shocking-pink nubuck. That would be a worthwhile use of skin.

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

The Poufman seating sets come in a bunch of colours, but retro gamers keen to dot them about their homes had better have made lots of dollars in the time since the ’80s: the price of these things is unknown, and not listed on the maker’s website. And we all know what that means. [Product via Technabob]
