Sometimes wired is better. I NEVER thought I would find myself saying that, but after testing out a Jawbone headset for a while, I realized that I was truly better off with a wired version of a cell phone headset.
Reasons Why I Went Wired:
- People know you’re talking on the Phone (So it’s less Awkward)
- If you lose it, you won’t cry (they are much less expensive)
- No battery issues (It’s plugged into your phone)
- More color options
- Work as Headphones when not talking on the phone
- You usually have to carry your phone with you anyway
- People don’t say “ARE YOU ON A HEADSET?” as much
- No one wants to be caught dead with a wireless headset anyway
After some searching on the Amazon store, I stumbled across this Motorola wired headset to give this whole “wired” thing another shot. For an inexpensive $12, I went with the pink version.
Kulula airlines has the whole "technical design turned fun" thing right with this plane design, titled "Flying 101."
Highlights:
The planes are covered with some hilarious details about the plane, such as the captain’s window — the big cheese, the fuel tanks (the go-go juice), to the loo (or mile-high club initiation chamber), and the black box (which is actually orange).
When the box is opened, it will display the full colour 2.0 inch screen with music – and you can choose to display movies or photos on the 2" screen.
- LCD Size : Colour TFT 2.0" LCD - Control : 3 buttons bottom of the product – Battery : USB Chargeable - Life time : 1 to 2 hours - Format : Movie-3GP (Convert program included), Photo-JPG - Memory : 128MB - Dimension : 63mm X 63mm X 64mm

We all have a signature style in some way or another.
Maybe you’re like Steve Jobs and the only thing that really varies is the amount of hair you have. Or maybe you have your own signature geek style.
If not, here are a few ideas/inspiration to capture your own geek style:
1) Laptop/Gadget Etching: Let your artsy and geeky side emerge with custom etching on your isomething. My laptop has angel wings, but if you want your own, check out Make Mag.
2) Custom Laptop Sleeve or Phone Case from Etsy: Submit a design summary with photos of what you’re looking for and watch the ideas (and estimates) flow in. Or buy a cool pre-made option from one of the crafty sellers
3) A Cool USB Drive: When it comes to sharing files, where you choose to store your files speaks volumes about you and your geek style. A friend of mine even has a pair of CK sunglasses with a usb drive ($180)
