Impulsive gadget buying
includes a long (if not proud) tradition dating back to the late-night
Television infomercial, but the introduction associated with online shopping
has juiced the practice as much as unprecedented heights. On top of this, the
fact that you are able to power pretty much anything via USB nowadays has
opened up an entire new world of weird-yet-useful-but-still-weird products you
should use just by plugging into your pc (or phone charger). Here are a few of
the best/weirdest.
USB extenders have been
around for some time now, and help provide you with easy access to
inconveniently located USB ports on the desktop computer. This one's a similar
as all the other people, except it's got a significant steampunk thing going on
thanks to the wood construction as well as retro vacuum tube at the very top.
It does not get much
simpler than the usual row of LEDs stuck to some USB strip, but that simplicity
means you are able to take these things where ever you go. Yes, probably the
most practical use is like a wall-mounted nightlight, but you can most likely
find plenty of other things you can do with them... right?
If you're the type of
person who shouts "It's 5 o'clock somewhere! " over the office at any
obtainable opportunity, you should probably get this tiny drink chillier --
it's big enough to suit two cans (or 1 bottle). You should also probably
rethink your workplace behavior.
Digital microscope:
$39. 52
Haven't you ever wanted
to check out something really, really, truly up-close and personal? You are
able to totally do that with this particular USB microscope. Just plug it into
your pc and install the incorporated software, and you're prepared to start
examining parts of the body at up in order to 40x magnification -- at the own
risk, of program.
If you'd like to have a
tiny, flexible camera you should use to find the fork that fell between your
oven and the kitchen area counter, this is your own jam. It plugs into your pc
(or smartphone! ), and it's even waterproof in the event you need to fish your
wedding ring from the toilet. Wait, why's your wedding band in the toilet?
Yes, your computer
already includes a clock that'll show you time... but does that clock also will
give you continuous gust of awesome, refreshing air? Does it impress/annoy your
desk mates using its bombastic, oppressive nerdiness? When the answer to both
those questions isn't any, then the choice is actually clear: buy this absurd
fan clock.
Heated slippers: $28. 99
You might say how the
point of slippers would be to keep your feet comfortable as you walk throughout
the house. You might also continue to question the usefulness of a set of
slippers that must be connected to a computer (or outlet) to supply heat. Then
again, for those who have a portable USB energy pack, you can side-step which
issue and comfortably shuffle through room to room along with warm, sweaty
feet.
Spending extended hours
at the computer requires the drinking of comfortable beverages (like coffee) --
however most mugs don't maintain those beverages warm for lengthy. Unless, of
course, you've got a combination USB hub/drink hotter, in which case you may
never have to worry regarding microwaving cold coffee once again.
