Some guy decided that he had enough of this world and proceeded to live in a garbage truck. But this isn#8217;t just any old garbage truck, this thing is actually somebody#8217;s house!

We#8217;ve featured a variety of iPhone musical instruments around here, including pianos, guitars, drums, and even ocarinas, but this is the first time I#8217;ve come across an app that lets you play your iPhone like it was a violin, viola or cello.
Just load up greySox String Trio, choose a bit of classical music, and#8230;

With all the brouhaha slowly dying down about the CrunchPad and the JooJoo, Notion Ink quietly slipped in some news about its upcoming tablet PC called the Adam.
Notion Ink was spouting some complete nonsense last week about the Adam#8217;s battery life. Check this out: they said that it would have 48 hours of battery#8230;

I#8217;ve seen a couple of math clocks and watches before, but this geeky pocket watch must be the all-time champ; a product that caters to a subset of a subset of people.
You can order the geek pocket watch at Uncommon Goods for $85 #8211; ($0 x $1) + $32 -$32 (USD). I only recognize#8230;

Etsy seller/green craftster pixelthis uses recycled parts to make timepieces. While he mostly uses discarded hard disk drives, this gem of a clock features a 7#8243; magnetic tape reel, giving it a simple yet classy look. As pixelthis says, it#8217;s a perfect gift for #8220;that geek or audiophile you know who is so hard to#8230;

You can#8217;t throw a Koopa shell without running into some sort of device that can play at least a few classic Nintendo games, and most of those are portable, too. So the game#8217;s open. Essentially, everyone can have a portable SNES (of sorts)#8230; so how far are you willing to go to stand out? $700#8230;

arabesque glass speakers: fragil-eh, but not from italy

These towering speakers from Crystal Cable are really unusual, thanks to their see-through design. And by the way, they#8217;re constructed out of something you don#8217;t usually build speakers out of #8211; glass.
The 220 pound Arabesque speakers are hand-assembled from large sheets 3/4#8243; facet-cut glass, carefully glued together to form a sound enclosure. The unconventional#8230;
