Wow, this is the coolest thing for every Twitter addict!
This cube will flash your (and other) twitts in Morse code, so you could finally learn that Morse code :)
I guess that if you follow enough people, you won’t be needing any other light in your room except this one. It might get a bit annoying when you go to sleep, but hey – what geek gets to sleep anyway ;)
If you haven’t watched this great Pixar’s movie, you really should! It’s a story about a robot who is the last of his kind. His job is to clean the whole planet Earth from trash and garbage that humas left it in. After being alone and lonley for a long time, Wall-E will meet EVA, a robot who’s job is to check the progress of Earth cleaning and see if there are conditions for living there again.
If you liked Wall-E, you’ll gonna love this – a real-life, full-size, and completely functional Wall-E!

Well, this site had a brake for about two weeks. There are a few reasons, and I want to tell my readers which are they and how am I planning to fix that.
Part 1 – The Exams
As you might, or might not know, I am a student on University of Zagreb here in Croatia. I’m on my final year in college now, and if everything goes well, I will have bachelor’s degree somewhere in summer/fall this year.
Because of that I have to know my priorities. College is my first priority, and during past few weeks, I have had some exams that needed to be solved, and here I am now :)
Part 2 – Technical stuff
Also, there were some troubles with the hosting company of this blog, so I decided to change it. While you’re reading this, everything is going smooth on new servers with a new hosting company, but there are still some sites that need to be transferred to their new home.
Well now, since you know why there were no new posts, I can move to the final part of this announcement - authors.
Authors wanted!
As I mentioned – I’m a student with a few exams away from my degree. So, from now on (until the summer) I will not be able to give too much amount of time to my blogging activities, including LOL Gadgets blog. So, with this post I am looking for potential authors for this blog. Things would work something like this:
you contact me by mail (info@lolgadgets.com) or by contact form
I create an account for you
you write posts
I schedule them for publishing
We’re happy :)
Notice that there would be no payment, since everything here is based on a good will, yours and mine. This blog is run by a single person, and there is no big blogging networks behind it (for now ;) )
So – if you would like to work with me on this site, or you know somebody who would like that – please, let me know. I’d really appreciate it.
Well, this is epic. Hello Kitty gadgets in two parts, for all you geekettes out there! There is no possible way that you could missed that little cute japan-kitty, even if you lived under a rock. Hello Kitty is definitely the icon of these ages, so let’s se, what gadgets you can get with your favorite kitten.
Hello Kitty Laptop
Nice, an Epson “Hello Kitty” laptop. It has 12,1″ LCD screen, Celeron M423 processor, 512 MB of RAM and 40 GB hard drive, all for ~1115 pounds. [source]
Hello Kitty Wacom tablet
I think that this would be a perfect gift for some graphic designer. It’s a Wacom graphic tablet, but ofcourse, in “Hello Kitty” edition. Great :) [source]
Hello Kitty Counter Strike
Who says that girls can’t play FPS and love Hello Kitty in the same time? I personally know a girl who does exactly that, she is a big fan of Hello Kitty, but she will also kick your arse in Counter Stike. And if you get on this map…you’re doomed. [source]
Hello Kitty Guitar
For all of you Avril Lavigne’s out there, Hello Kitty guitar! There are also some Hello Kitty amplifiers available. [source]
Hello Kitty keyboard cleaner
Keyboards are the thing that gets dirty very easily. Hair, dust, breadcrumbs and stuff like that can be a nightmare to clean. But this Hello Kitty cleaner should help ;) [source]
Thanks to Hermione for submitting this gadget! Would you also like to submit one?
Yeah, we have a brand new look! The old one was good, but…
First of all, it was temporary. We wanted to start with this blog ASAP, and we didn’t had much time to focus on design. So, we installed that one, which served us well for almost a month now. This one better suits our needs, so – here it is.
There are some new stuff that we like, and we think that you will love too. The homepage is now more compact. The thing we think that will help this blog to become more popular are the little social buttons inside every post, which allows You to easily share the joy of a certain LOL Gadget on Twitter, Facebook, Digg, Delicious and StumbleUpon.
And there is one new thing to mention – except design – you can now add you own LOL Gadgets that you found somewhere online! You just fill out the submission form, and we’ll get notified about it. Once we approve that gadget, we’ll publish it, you’ll get notification about it and full credit for finding it.
That way you are directly helping us and you’re becoming a part of this blog.
And just when you thought that you will never deal with floppy discs again, they managed to surprise you. Personally, I rarely use CDs anymore, because DVDs are very cheap, USB flash drives also, Internet is practically unlimited with it’s file transfer technologies, so why bother working with something that’s less than 1 GB in size?
But you can’t argue with retro stuff. Retro is always in. And this proves it – CD in a shape of a floppy disc. If you would like to own one, go to Design Boom.
This post is going to be a little different that the others. It has been a really nice day for me in the gadget-sense of way.
You might have noticed in some posts that I am an Apple lover. And that’s true. I love Apple, I love their products and I would like to have them all one day. But I’m a PC user :( Read the rest of this entry »
These last few days here in Europe were (and still are) pretty cold. Yes, it’s winter, but still. It’s cold.
Momentarily, my hands are very cold and I really would like to have some of the gadgets here on list. Check them out! and guess what? They are all USB-powered, so the geek-factor is here :) Read the rest of this entry »
The year now is 2009. I got my first computer on January 17th, 1998 – I can still remember the whole day and the trip to Zagreb and how I felt. Few months later, somewhere in 1999 my father bought me an external, 56k modem. Oh those were the times. Everything was so slow, phone line was occupied, hang-ups occurred at least three times a day… But it was sweet.
whoooooOOOOOOOOSH!
I’m guessing that some of today’s Internet users don’t even know what I’m talking about here. Well kids, you’re lucky you got directly hooked on broadband. If you want to feel how things were 10 years ago, then check out this 56k modem emulator, or take a look at some of those videos here. Read the rest of this entry »
Japanese really can produce some cool and very usefull stuff, but then there’s the other kind of their products. No hard feelings anyone, but I think that we all agree that they can create and produce something that’s way out of what we would call – a normal way of thinking. Let’s see, what do we have here… Read the rest of this entry »
