GeekStuff4U has it the other way around: slightly weird gadgets that really hurt the pockets. Case in point: handmade frog and duck USB flash disks. Why?

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The gadgets that Brando sells are often weird but they&#8217;re mostly affordable. GeekStuff4U has it the other way around: slightly weird gadgets that really hurt the pockets. Case in point: handmade frog and duck USB flash disks. Why? I mean, sure, they look nice, but&#8230; Why?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-15183 aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/usb-frog.jpg" alt="usb frog" width="520" height="181" title="usb frog photo" /></p>
<p>Okay I must admit, <a href="http://www.geekstuff4u.com/kyoto-usb-frog.html">USB frog</a> looks cool. He looks like a tatooed alien frog. With a USB interface sticking out of his butt.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-15184 aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/USB-duck.jpg" alt="USB duck" width="520" height="268" title="USB duck photo" /></p>
<p>I don&#8217;t like <a href="http://www.geekstuff4u.com/kyoto-usb-duck.html">USB duck</a>. He&#8217;s boring. As I said, both are handmade, plus they&#8217;re made from a traditional Japanese heavy crepe cloth called <em>chirimen</em>, hence their price: a 2GB capacity of either animal sells for $83 (USD),  then $94 for 4Gb, and finally $105 for the 8GB. If you think they&#8217;re worth it, head on to <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">ExpensiveStuff4U</span> <a href="http://www.geekstuff4u.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=Kyoto&amp;x=0&amp;y=0">GeekStuff4U</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Who says you can&#8217;t take your electronic gadgets in the bathtub with you? The latest in rubber duckie technology lets you steer your fine feathered friend around the tub from afar.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/rc_rubber_duckie.jpg" alt="rc rubber duckie"  title="rc rubber duckie photo" /></p>
<p>Using a wireless RF transmitter, you can make the yellow aquatic bird tool around as you splish-splash in your bath. A pair of motorized propellers moves the little guy through the water, and let you steer duckie to the left, right, forwards or backwards. A quick 5-minute charge will give you about 15-minutes of bathtime fun. And yes, both the duck and controller are waterproof, so there&#8217;s no worries about electrocuting yourself.</p>
<p>The R/C Rubber Duck is available from <a href="http://www.iwantoneofthose.com/new-arrivals/rc-duck/index.html">I Want One of Those</a> for &pound;14.99 (appx. $26.98 USD). Quack.</p>
