Circuit Board Pendants: Be the hippest geek couple in town

ad19_circuitboard_necklaces

As developed by ZDNet and some students from Shanghai Jiao Tong University in China, there are definitely new ways to recycle circuit boards. They are done by mixing up a nonmetallic dough made of the main ingredients polyester and crushed up circuit boards, which doesn’t sound very tasty to us even though they called it “dough.”

This is exceptional, why? Because studies on waste shows that “printed circuit boards (PCBs) form about 3% by weight of the total amount of electronic waste” and that “disposal in a landfill is the main method for treating nonmetallic materials of PCBs, but it may cause secondary pollution and resource wasting”

So why don’t you and a significant other share something in common and save the world at the same time. Adorn yourself with these circuit boards pendants. Measuring form a little over 1.5 inches in width and come on an adjustable-length waxed cotton cord, this recycled circuit boards are pre-consumer waste or they’ve been printed wrong, so they’ve never been soldered and thus safe to be reused. They come in a gift box for ease of gifting.

Note: Each necklace is unique, just like every snowflake. Only with more circuit board than your average snowflake. So yours won’t look exactly like the one in the picture, but it’ll be the same shape, style, and size.

Laser Stars Projector: ‘Give you the moon and the stars on a silver platter’

laserstar

Now, with the brilliant minds of today’s geekie geniuses, this phrase is no longer just a pickup line, a cliché or a hyperbole — it is reality.

Inspired by one of the episodes in the infamous series Gossip Girl (only they have snow there), the Laser Stars Projector boasts of a bamboozled star rupture that could definitely make your girl fall in love with you over and over again. At least each time you close the lights and open this wonderful device.

This is a 10-inch tall device that could project a combination of green laser stars and blue (slightly ultraviolet-ish blue) clouds onto your ceiling, walls, pets, etc. Plus, included in the show are moving clouds and morphing stars just like the real thing.

There are two ways to wow your girl using this device, first you can pivot the projector itself 180 degrees horizontally around the base so that you can control where it is projecting in your room. Or it can literally fill up an entire ceiling and portions of several walls at once. And the other thing you can adjust is the intensity of the blue gaseous clouds, from zero to full intensity.

Using the Diode Pumped, Solid State (DPSS) green laser technology combined with custom developed multiphase diffractive holographic optics, super luminous diodes and precision motors, are producing the laser stars effect. The coherent light produced by the DPSS laser passes through a passive diffractive holographic optical element, which in turn passes through a circular periodicity electromechanical wheel, which is driven by a precision motor to create the soothing motion of the star field.

Features:

  • Uses Green Laser and Holographic technology
  • 2 built-in precision glass lenses
  • Creates thousands of stars with or without blue cloud formations
  • Ac Adapter Included (US Only – 120V)
  • Unit Dimensions: 10″ tall x 9″ wide x 7″ deep

USB Mixtape Memory Stick: ‘We’re back and we’re cool’

usb_mixtape

Who says that we can’t revive an important part of music’s history? Well, we say it’s possible.

Could you still remember those mixtapes? Just a refresher, it is a two channel analog magnetic tape that was very popular in 1992. Hits of Stone Temple Pilots, Morrissey, Toad The Wet Sprocket, The Cure, and audio-clips from Blade Runner were some of the contents of this age old mixtape.

For the new generation we are reviving mixtapes, only with a twist. Introducing the USB Mixtape Memory Stick. It is a digital analog to the venerable C60 cassette of old that could store 60 minutes worth of storage or your MP3s, organized into a cohesive whole – something that says who you are at this moment in time.

This looks like an old analog audio cassette tape, with room to scrawl out your tracklist, the USB Mixtape Memory Stick makes the perfect gift to your significant other.

With four distinct styles, the USB Mixtape Memory Stick comes in each artistically distressed to look like a vintage audio cassette. Stores up to 64 megs of whatever you want, but we recommend Ogg and MP3.

Be hip. Avail this now.
