Brew's Gotta Have Gadgets Gone Green

There's not much that I like more than Internet purn an entire bottle of twist cap wine laying up with mah boo chocolate dipped in chocolate with a side of chocolate chased with chocolate laying up with mah other boo anything sustainable and ANYTHING CUSTOM. Bespoke items say 'Hey, Bama, I'm way more stylish and creative and just THAT more awesome, than your off the rack, buying 'as is' bargain basement bum arse!'* And I love that.

These bamboo iPhone covers are an awesomely earthy counterpart to your hightech baby.
And the best part - you, can design your own. They also have some pre etched, for the more stick figure gifted among us. LOVE. @ GROVE MADE

Brews Gotta Have Gadgets

I am always looking for ways to pimp my iPod. Luckily the people over iHome want my money as much as I love throwing it away.

Check these out:

The Capsule speaker- Compact speaker extends for surprisingly big sound for your iPod, iPhone, laptop or any MP3 player through the headphone jack. Features a long lasting built-in lithium ion rechargeable battery- measures at less than 3 inches! (Much like this unfortunate dude I used to date...)

Speaker jacket: iHM12 portable speaker case from iHome. Lightweight, water resistant speaker features flat panel NXT speaker technology and keeps your iPod/MP3 player safe with its splash proof case. Interior mesh pocket holds your player and connects through the headphone jack.

Both available at my fave site: Flight 001

At this rate I will be serving ALL you fools this summer!

If You’ve Got An iPad… You Need To Cover It

If you’re one of the lucky (perhaps, fanatical) bunch who stood in line last weekend to cop yourself Steve Jobs’ latest gadget, then you need a cover to keep that puppy safe. Turns out, there’s an entire blog devoted to the hottest iPad covers.

Amazon sells an iPad accessory bundle that includes a cover for $29.95.

For the classy types, Padova sells this leather case for $209 (if you have any money left…).

I’m a fan of this one. It’s like some wild Jetsons type ish. It’s the bubble iPad sleeve from Hard Candy Cases ($49.95).

Substrata’s wood iPad case starts selling in June. No price on this one yet.

The BOOK for iPad ($89) is ultra classy and great way to disguise your investment (you know how these thugs roll today… if you wanna hide something, put it in a book!)

Steve Jobs Just Made Me Mess M'self!

In the words of Lil' Jon 'AWW SKEET SKEET SKEET!' somebody pass me a wet nap!

The iPad resembles an iPhone, but larger. Apple will sell some iPad models with data plans from AT&T, with no contract required. CEO Steve Jobs says the iPad will be better for reading books, playing games and watching video than either a laptop or a smart phone. Story

Kindle sits in the corner and starts cutting itself.

Gotta Have Dem Gadgets!

The Card Speaker is a slim take anywhere dance party maker for those times when you cannot time travel back 1985 to retrieve your old Boom Box (not that you'd have cassette tapes, anyway).

How often have you found yourself at the office working late, cleaning people long since gone, and every noise is starting to make you feel like you are about to be Jigsaw's next victim?

No, just me? Fine.

Well the Card Speakers allows you to listen to your tunes anywhere (church is probably not a good idea) without wearing the midnight massacre ear buds. Hell, the Card Speaker keeps you alive! (Dramatic Wednesdays at the Brew).
