I’ve been known around the traps as Mr.Gadget for a while now. As a kid I was either called “whiz kid” or the little asian dude from Goonies…back then it was all about my Olivetti 386sx 16Mhz, 16bit Nintendo Console, Transformer toys and Zoids!

Today here’s a picture of my desk with some of my favourite gadgets, most I use on a daily basis.

1. Dell XPS M1330

Here’s what one of our gadget members had to say about the new Leatherman Skeletool:

The stripped down Leatherman with the only tools I ever actually used on my old Leatherman (except maybe the scissors).
Not just lighter and more compact, but superior in every way.
Comfortable grip (in either pliers or screwdriver position) - surprisingly flexible too allowing a really strong continuous hold.

Feels solid and well made.

Plus, the best and most surprising bottle opener known to man.

Perfect for fishing, biking, whatever.

Gadgeteers all around the world have been waiting to see the Optimus Maximus OLED Keyboard in action. With thanks to Engadget, now we can all see what’s all the fuss about the US$1500 price-tagged keyboard is all about. For a version 1, looks very very cool indeed…

Do you think it’s seriously worth US$1500??

 

To cut down vandalism, local Finland councils have installed public toilets that require an SMS to open their doors for use! Sounds like an idea. I just feel sorry for the poor sods who don’t have mobiles and are in need of relief
