stellanova floating globe

Magnetic levitation … Sounds like one part David Copperfield-ian illusion and one part science project. But using a wickedly cool technology called Computer Controlled Levitation, Stellanova’s 4″ Floating Globe stays aloft between electro-magnetic fields, floating and rotating and looking totally bitchin’ on your desk or side table.

Dr. Mario NES External Hard Drive

nes external hard drive

Dr. Mario was one of my favorite NES games growing up, a Tetris-esque puzzle game where you flip and stack dual-colored pills in order to eradicate cute … Err, nasty n’ viscous virus bugs. And while the good doctor is no match for Internet-borne nasties, he can give you extra space on your PC to fill up with games and other goodies via 8BitMemory’s 320 GB Dr. Mario External Hard Drive. And if Mario isn’t your bag, there are several other classic NES titles to choose from – and even SNES cartridges for those non-purists. (NES Classic forever!)

320GB Dr. Mario External Hard Drive$119.99 at Etsy

earbuds deals

‘Ears the deal (hehe) – finding a great pair of earbuds can be a mighty challenge. For me, my ears are of normal size (and kinda cute, if I do say so myself!) but my ear canals are teeny, making it a bitch n’ a half to find earbuds that fit comfortable, stay in place, and don’t cause ear aches with extended use.

Thankfully a wide range of manufacturers have stepped up to the plate, and those awful default iPod buds are a thing of the past! Now through January 31st, you can stock up on some of the best earbuds at Amazon at up to 80% off full price. I can personally vouch for the Jbuds Hi-Fi Noise Reducing Earbuds, which were a snug fit that held up well until my cat decided to chew through the cord one night. (Bonus – comfy to wear while in bed!) But with prices this low, I’m jonesing for the Etymotic Research Earbuds, with their superior noise-isolation and super-swanky “100% sonic accuracy”. There’s lots to choose from, so don’t miss out!

Amazon’s Top 10 Deals on Earbuds$6.47 to $59.97

Google T-Shirt

Oh c’mon, you know you Google yourself too. Then you log onto your favorite social networking sites and sob that your friends don’t love you and no one understands you and you never have anything clever to say and …

Ahem. That’s all hypothetically speaking, of course. ;-) When I’m Alone, I Google Myself T-Shirt$8.50 at Tanga.
