recycling at its wearable best: keyboard earrings

keyboard earrings

Raise your hand if you don’t have or have access to an old keyboard. If you didn’t raise your hand, I’m pretty sure you’re an alien. For the rest of us… what’s a girl to do with all those old keyboards? They gather so much dust! But if you’re creative enough, you can turn ‘em into jewelry.

Unfortunately, however, in order…

sparkly usb bracelet stores memories on your wrist

usb_sparkly_bracelet

Here’s a girly-girl accessory that looks much more like a swanky piece of jewelry than a storage device for your computer.

But beneath the surface of this sparkly bejeweled bracelet is a hidden USB flash drive. The connector hinges neatly out of the side of the bracelet when you’re ready to jack it into your computer.

And while all those…

wooden pac-man double ring is not quite a weapon

pac-man ring wood good wood double finger ring

Everyone loves Pac-Man (and if you don’t, we don’t want to know about it), so it’s not really surprising to see his familiar shape in even the oddest of places… until those places are really odd. Wooden Pac-Man jewelry? Sure, I’m on board. Extended wooden double-finger ring, so as to portray a little action? Fine. But let’s look at some of…

iphone 3g kings spits in the face of the economic crisis

aloisson iphone 3G diamond peter aloisson gold kings

For me luxury items are those that are not only ridiculously expensive but are also very impractical or unnecessary. Personally I think the iPhone is still quite expensive. I think it spreads itself too thin in trying to be too many things at once. On the other hand,  its price isn’t that ridiculous for a phone, so it would be…

custom binary led watch is bright, bulky

binary watch diy

You could easily buy your own binary clock or watch, but is that really in the spirit of such a timepiece? One could easily argue that a purchased binary watch just isn’t quite geeky enough. If you want to show your real geek cred, you’ve got to bust out some tools and make your own.

Ari’s hulking watch began life…
