Certainly, if we're going to live in a future where console jockeys and other cyberpunk-types run amok in virtual reality dreamscapes, we're going to have to start seeing more cut-rate video eyewear. For most cowboys, dropping $800 on something by Vuzix is just not an option. Luckily, the gang at Chinavasion have recently sourced some generic, relatively inexpensive "Video Eyeglasses." Priced at $135 (with the cost dropping when you buy at bulk) these bad boys feature a simulated display size of forty inches and QVGA (320 x 240) resolution. But that ain't all! It even ships with its own generic media player, sporting 2GB storage and support for the usual file formats (including DivX, XviD, MPEG2, AVI, MP3, and FLAC) as well as ROMs for NES and Sega. Seems pretty straight forward, right? The only question we have left is: if viewed through Video Glasses, will The Girlfriend Experience have a plot? Because when we saw it on IFC, we're pretty sure it didn't. Get a closer look after the break.

Being a geek means being naturally curious about the world around you. Since you love electronic products you are also likely to be very interested in how they actually work. What are the basic electronic parts? How do they function? How are they related to one another? These questions and more can be answered by spending some time with our electronics kit. The DIY Electronics Design & Projects Kit contains everything you need to learn the basics of electronics circuit design. It contains all of the most common electronics components as well as a prototyping breadboard for you to get started right away. Make a light detector, work with IC chips, create an interactive noise maker and more. Hours of amusement and intrigue for students, professionals, hobbyists, artists, and geeks of all types. No soldering is required and the included illustrated manual guides you through each of the projects. After you build all of the projects you can use the parts for your own designs. Includes over 130 parts.

“May 25th is Towel Day, an international holiday honoring the memory of the late author Douglas Adams. Here at ThinkGeek, we’re all hoopy froods and know where our towels are. But where is yours? You haven’t FORGOTTEN why the towel is important, have you? Here’s a reminder: A towel, it says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. Partly it has great practical value. You can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapors; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a miniraft down the slow heavy River Moth; wet it for use in hand-to-hand-combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (such a mind-bogglingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can’t see it, it can’t see you); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough.” — Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy Get your towel here, emblazoned with the friendly words “”Don’t Panic.”"”

“Pirate Rule #59 – Ye must always keep the deck clean. Why else do ye think we’re always swabbin’ the blasted thing?!? The captain is what is known on land as a “”neat freak,”" and it’s at least a thousand lashes for ye if ye muddy up the ship. That’s why we’ve installed all these Jolly Roger Doormats. Ye wipe yer feet, ye don’t get whipped – it’s that easy. And isn’t it like that at home, too? Always someone threatening you with bodily harm if you track a mess into the house? Yeah, we know. So get a few Jolly Roger Doormats. They will keep your floors clean (and your hide un-flogged), all the while expressing the latent pirate attitude sailing the seas of your heart. The Jolly Roger Doormat will also let all solicitors know they risk their lives knocking on your door – for pirate justice is swift and terrible. And so is the missus if you track mud on her floors. Arrrgh.”

“The Pacemaker has turned traditional DJing on its ear and left us dizzy with flat-out amazement. This is one of the coolest professional music gadgets we’ve ever seen. In a nutshell it’s two-turntables in the palm of your hand and some sophisticated computer software to back it up. The Pacemaker analyzes the beats per minute of any songs you store on it’s internal 60GB disk. Then you can effortlessly beatmatch any two tracks with zero skill needed. Built-in timestretch means you can increase the speed of a track without increasing the pitch. Add in some amazing effects and you’ve got a live DJ mix going. Increase Speed, not Pitch Certainly one of the most amazing things the Pacemaker does is timestretch the speed of music tracks. When you have two tracks playing at once, you need to ensure they have the same beats per minute before they can be mixed together. The pacemaker makes it super-easy to do this. It displays the current BPM of each track, you can then increase or decrease the BMP of one track to match the other. But unlike a traditional turntable with the Pacemaker the music does not increase or decrease in pitch. You can take songs with vocals and speed them up. It simply sounds like the vocals are sung faster. This gives you amazing flexibility to live-mix two tracks that would normally be impossible to manage on a regular turntable. Intuitive Controls The Pacemaker has a lot it can do, but the interface is laid out in a very intuitive manner. By tapping the bottom control pad or flicking in each of the cardinal directions a different mode can be entered. Then in each mode the pacemaker uses either an up-down finger slide, or a finger rotation for control. A mode switch on the left side allows you to “”shift”" to another set of controls, effectively tripling the input options. Ready for real DJs Just as in a standard DJ configuration you need to preview what you’re doing before letting the rest of the room hear it. The Pacemaker lets you do this by having a separate headphone out jack and line-out. The line-out can be hooked to external speakers, while you monitor what’s really going on with the headphone out. Save Everything and Edit it Later Not only can you perform a live DJ Mix with the Pacemaker, you can also record everything you do as a series of events, then import it into to the free PC or Mac client and tweak your mix further.”
