Sawed-off USB Flash Drive
Here’s a really cool DIY project for creating a USB Flash Drive that looks like a sawed off old cable. It is the bomb when it comes to fooling people from removing it without your knowledge.
Without knowing any better, most folks will think that this is a ripped and broken USB cord where the owner is nutty enough to leave it hooked up. It’s the ultimate in “Shabby Geek” style gizmos. It just looks like you wouldn’t want to touch it for fear of zapping yourself but inside that old wire is a fully functioning (albeit small) USB flash drive. As far as DIY projects go, this one is not too difficult at all- no soddering required.
Actually, there is a USB flash drive inside, courtesy of a $10 DIY project.

USB Bomb - Plug and Play
Mexican designer Joel Escalona is offering new concept of USB memory drive or other any USB storage device. Our Transportation Safety Administration officers won’t think this iconic trinket is very funny, no matter how many “all your base” jokes you crack in the security line.
I'm sure this flash gadget will be very popular between spies and James Bond will be satisfied from solutions.
Now, this is only cool idea, but we will hope to see Bomb USB drive in future.
Designed by Mexico City industrial designer Joel Escalona, the USB bomb is unfortunately a prototype at this point in time.

iPill Microphone for iPod
I’m not sure if it’s a genius idea to make a microphone shaped like a pill or the stupidest idea ever.
In fact, it seems so much more convenient to simply use an iPod with a microphone to record interviews and conversations. Chances are that you already own an iPod (or two), so we think that you should check the iPill out.
Whereas ThumbTacks sounded like a slightly muffled, less sibilant version of Apple’s Earphones with Remote and Mic at the same general volume level, iPill is dramatically louder: it is set to a volume or gain level that makes near-proximity voice recordings much easier to hear without having to turn up the volume on headphones. While there’s a little sibilance, it’s not as pronounced as in Apple’s microphone, and the overall voice balance is more natural—like a less muffled version of ThumbTacks.
It's a $13 microphone that is said to be working better than Apple's.

Once upon a time the Lower East Side was a rough place to hangout. Nowadays it's lost a little of its edge. Well that's where this suit comes in. The Rivington Street Halter String captures the atmosphere of the area and nails it to the wall.
Kickin' it old school. Tags on the subways. Tags on the buildings. Tags under bridges. Why not tags on bikinis?! Well, with our halter sport bikini we're pretty sure you're gonna look better wearing it this way.

This is our take on the classic one piece sport. Only this time we used a mural from the side of building downtown. Full support cross ties in the back and modest, but very sexy coverage on the bottom.
Enjoy yourself with the styles and price!

Express Yourself with the Chalkboard T-shirt
Fashion meets fun with this chalkboard T-shirt.
You can actually write on the chalkboard shirt and even erase - just like a chalkboard in school. You can erase with a dry cloth, but for superior erasing use a damp cloth. And the Chalkboard T-shirt($35) has a little pocket for the chalk.

Realistic Sculptures by Ron Mueck
Ron Mueck (born 1958) is an Australian hyper-realist sculptor working in Great Britain. Born in Melbourne, Australia, to parents who were toy makers, he labored on children’s television shows for 15 years before working in special effects for such films as "Labyrinth", a 1986 fantasy epic starring David Bowie.
Mueck moved on to establish his own company in London, making photo-realistic props and animatronics for the advertising industry. Although highly detailed, these props were usually designed to be photographed from one specific angle hiding the mess of construction seen from the other side. Mueck increasingly wanted to produce realistic sculptures which looked perfect from all angles.
Eventually Mueck concluded that photography pretty much destroys the physical presence of the original object, and so he turned to fine art and sculpture. In the early 1990s, still in his advertising days, Mueck was commissioned to make something highly realistic, and was wondering what material would do the trick. Latex was the usual, but he wanted something harder, more precise. Luckily, he saw a little architectural decor on the wall of a boutique and inquired as to the nice, pink stuff’s nature. Fiberglass resin was the answer, and Mueck has made it his bronze and marble ever since.
Eager to make more personal sculptures, his extraordinary Dead Dad, a small-scale hyper-real sculpture of his dead and naked father was the surprise show stopper at the London Royal Academy’s controversial show Sensation (1997) which featured works from the collection of Charles Saatchi.
