The original Game Boy(R) Advance fits comfortably into the pocket of a backpack. The retooled Game Boy(R) Advance SP fits into a coat pocket. Now Nintendo takes aim at the pocket of your tightest jeans with the tiny Game Boy(R) Micro system, quite simply the smallest and sleekest Game Boy(R) product that Nintendo has ever created.

The sporty, silver metal Game Boy Micro measures a mere 4 inches wide,
2 inches tall and 0.7 inches deep, allowing it to sit comfortably alongside
today’s hippest technological gadgets. It weighs an astonishing 2.8 ounces, or about the weight of 80 paper clips. Yet Game Boy Micro has the same processing power and plays the same games as Game Boy Advance SP models.

IT OPENS! Can’t you see being in a meeting? or a horrible dinner? or a mind blowing concert where you happen to be in a shirt shirt that needed cufflinks? Anyhow, they are so subtle yet detailed. If they didn’t open and hold pills or whatever you want to hide inside, it wouldn’t be nearly as fascinating an idea.

Aspirin cufflinks

This may well be my new closet, CardBoardRobot has the hottest clothes around. They also have little buttons on each shirt, who doesnt like the little buttons? Next yr my School shopping will be exclusively @ CardBoardRobot.

What, listening to that those two namedropping Le Tigre and LCD Soundsystem tracks wasn’t enough of a lesson to get you started on your road to proper hipsterdom? Well, if you want to kill two birds with one stone, just hook up the Hipster iPod, a 60GB iPod that comes pre-loaded for $900 with 900 properly music-snobbish albums, including but not limited to The Shaggs, Can, T-Rex, The Modern Lovers, the No New York comp, Gang of Four, The Pop Group, Throbbing Gristle, The Homosexuals, The Fall, and many, many more. Now all you have to do live in Williamsburg and you’re totally set to kick out the mad jams. And yes, we know this is a joke. Or if not that, still highly, indubitably illegal at best.

P.S. - No comments about us living in Williamsburg, please.

Andrei Kozlov
is a Russian primitivist artist who hand-carves wooden
cellphone-like-objects, including painted red “LEDs” and so forth.
They’re flintstonariffic, and put me in mind of the hand-carved wooden “phones” in Helsinki that I photographed last year.

How cute is this MP3 player cube? The new MobiBlu DAH-1500 is a tiny, tiny MP3 Player measuring only 24x24x24mm. The MobiBlu DAH-1500 has a OLED display and sports a 20 hours playback time. It features a FM tuner and the headset plug is also the data connector. This cube style player is smaller than the iPod shuffle in Volume. It comes in a box that reminds us a whole lot of the iPod (mini)’s - cube-shaped, with some fine artworks on each side of it. Even has its own little protective “case”. All very cute in an acceptable way. More pictures over at POPCO. They call it a “preview”, so I guess they’ll review it later on. Update: the DAH-1500 finally got its own product page, over at MobiBlu’s website. CLICK.

We can definitely think of a few things around the house that need a gadgety update or at very least a spicy redesign, and despite the ready abundance of $3 umbrellas made available by mysterious cart-wheeling street vendors at the first signs of precipitation, something tells us that Andy Wana’s Lotus 23 may be the true way to go. The device won the Gold 2005 Australian Design Award for its fully retractable umbrella screen, which is pushed out of its housing tube-worm style; flexible ribs stand up to harsh winds, instead of breaking and buckling. Andy, make one in Burberry plaid and we’re like, so there.
