MP3 Sunglasses

The protection of sunglasses

These MP3 Sunglasses will help protect your eyes from harmful UV rays but perhaps, more importantly, they will also protect your ears from harmful sound waves. We think you know exactly what kind of harmful sound waves we are referring to – the annoying receptionist in the next office, that terrible background music, or possibly the loud server cooling fans located just down the hall.
The MP3 Sunglasses will allow you to keep your eyes and ears focused on what’s important, with up to 8.5 hours of battery playtime on a single charge. Easy song uploads via USB 2.0 connection and a built-in voice recorder, in case you need to make some quick non-mental notes.

Has these great features.

256MB memory capacity
Compatible formats: MP3, WMA, ADPCM
UV coated and polarized lenses
3D stereo sound
Continuous battery charge up to 8.5 hours
Battery recharge time of 2 hours
Includes: sunglasses, storage case, USB cable, A/C adapter, software CD, manual

I’m blogging this Babydoll Tee

ThinkGeek T-Shirts

Fair warning…

Ladies, put the world on notice. It’s unlikely that you’ll actually see anyone overtly change their behavior lest they be blogged, but you’ll certainly shake up a paranoid few.

100% cotton black ladies’ shirt. Stretchy and fitted, not baggy like the guys’ stuff! “I’m blogging this” on the front in white and “www.oreilly.com” on the back, also in white.

Almost all of our tshirts are either Gildan Ultra Cotton or Hanes Beefy-Ts which are both 6.1 ounce, heavyweight, 100% cotton, preshrunk tshirts. For more details on shirt sizes, check out the chart below which includes approximate dimensions of our shirts.

Although we do not list the international equivalents of our sizes, you can use this International Clothing Size Conversion chart for more info.

We carry most shirts in M-XXL and some in Small and XXXL sizes. XXXL+ sizes are only made in a few colors and they’re a little harder to come by, so we can’t guarantee that we’ll carry them all the time in all the styles. We’re definitely keeping our eyes open for those sizes in other colors and for reasonable prices, so keep checking back and we’ll update the size selections for the different styles when we can.

Ladies/Babydoll Tees
We use a few different brands of ladies’ tees, but in general, the ladies’ shirts are small, stretchy and very form-fitting. Most of our ladies tees come in S, M, and L sizes; and many are also available in XL. The S size is very small, so if you’re hesitating on getting the small size, try getting a size or two larger.

Please see the sizing chart above for details about ladies’ shirt sizes.

Although we do not list the international equivalents of our sizes, you can use this International Clothing Size Conversion chart for more info.

Want larger ladies sizes? SO DO WE!!
Right now, we are sticking with our current babydoll tee manufacturer who makes sizes up to XL. If they increase their range to include larger sizes, or if we switch to a different manufacturer, we’ll make sure to post an announcement. Please don’t email asking when we will be getting larger sizes – we’ll let you know as soon as we do!

Other Clothing
We don’t have exact chest sizes for other clothing (like golf shirts, fleeces, etc) but based on our experience, they are similar to the T-Shirts. Our hooded sweatshirts are baggy and run a little big in the body but not in the sleeves. Our hats are all adjustable except for bucket hats which are sized for “average” heads; in other words, if you have a big noggin, the bucket hat probably won’t fit ya. Kids clothing is sized based on age. The 6 month size is way too big for a newborn, but buy them anyway, they grow into them!

Neverlate 7-day Alarm Clock

ThinkGeek Gadgets

Set it and forget it – all week long.

The Neverlate 7-day Alarm clock is perfect for those of us who are, if you’ll pardon the pun, tired of oversleeping. As its name implies, it has seven alarms, one for each day of the week. The independent daily alarms make this clock a must for the dorm. You’ll be able to get the maximum sleep based on your class schedule. And the snooze button can give you anywhere from 1 to 30 minutes of extra sleep – your call. Also, there is a magic “nap” button, which is a gem for both dorm and office. One push and you can set a nap duration from 1 to 120 minutes – then just go to sleep, the clock does the rest.

Setting each daily alarm is as easy as oversleeping. Just turn the top inner knob to the day, and rotate the top outer wheel until the proper time is displayed. Advance the knob to the next day and repeat. Once all the alarms are set, you’re good to go. Get the notice that tomorrow’s class or early meeting has been cancelled? Not a problem – just turn off tomorrow’s alarm, and leave the rest of the week active. Each alarm is really that independent! But the Neverlate clock doesn’t stop there. It’s also a sweet little FM/AM radio (which, of course, you can set the alarm to turn on). Short of pouring water on your head, or hitting you with billiard balls, the Neverlate 7-day clock does all it can to get you up on time.

Model Number: PTV16

This wireless mini camera was designed to be used in conjunction with our Desktop Rovers but that doesn’t limit you to such use (get creative!). The PTV16 will arrive with two housings. A specialized one like the one pictured to your left which mounts on the desktop mini rover, and a plain box housing you can use for other applications.

This tiny, lightweight Color camera has a 3 Hour battery life and no down converter is required! Broadcasts low power TV signal that can be received by any manually tuned (to UHF channel 16) color TV. 100+ foot range!

The PTV16C kit can also be used separately for experimental TV broadcast in accordance with part 15 of FCC Rules.

Note: The Desktop Mini Rover you see in the picture to your left IS NOT included with the price of the camera. They are sold seperately. Also, the camera is designed to work with NTSC compliant video devices only.

Zoom and Click

There are many times it would be opportune to have a pair of binoculars with you. You could be at a sporting event far from the action, or hunting down the elusive Bigfoot, or involved in classified covert operations. And suppose you want to keep a memory (or evidence) of what you are looking at? The SX3 is the first combination binocular/digital camera to really take this need seriously, coupling a high-power pair of binoculars with a 3.1MP digital camera. You can even take 30 sec long silent movie clips (avi format) – the number of movie clips depends, of course, on the size of the memory card used.

Once you’ve taken tons of pictures, you can share them with your friends in a myriad of ways. Of course you can always download them to your computer and e-mail them around. But the SX3 has you covered if you are in the wild (that is, a place without a computer). Just use the TV Out cable to connect directly to a television and you can view your pics anywhere. The SX3 is a camera, binoculars, and a portable slide show, all in one rugged form factor. So, get out there and see the sights – and don’t forget to bring home some nice pictures to remember it all.

Go Ahead . . . Shoot S’more!
The Marshmallow Shooter is an excellent addition to the office arsenal, shooting calamitous confections over 30 feet. It is easy to fire and reload, making it perfect for quick attacks (or rapid defense). The Shooter holds up to 20 marshmallows for extended office campaigns, and is capable of rapid fire for laying down cover for coworkers.

The Shooter comes equipped with 20 foam pellets (non-edible, but squishy) which are also fun to shoot. Marshmallow ammo is sold separately to maintain freshness. Each Ammo bag is 4.4 oz (the bag we counted had 247 rounds) of some of the tastiest (and deadliest) mini-marshmallows imaginable – straight from Marshmallowville (where, we hear, even the trees are tasty). Truly Ammo-licious!

The Marshmallow Shooter is a Creative Child Magazine 2004 seal of excellence winner – which means it is perfect for the office. The warning on the box says, “Do not eat marshmallows after shooting,” but Chris M. thinks when velocity and distance are incorporated into the equation, the 5 second rule is dramatically increased. He agrees with “Do not eat foam pellets,” however.

Shoots over 30 feet.
Magazine holds 20 rounds of ammo.
Shoots foam pellets or mini-marshmallows.
20 foam pellets included.
Mini-marshmallows not included, must be purchased separately.

It’s Time For Patterns Telling Time

Patterns can be found everywhere in life. In our DNA, in cloud formations, during a chess game, in your code, in your deviant behaviors, and even in your bottle of Bawls. Patterns give us clues. Clues give us information. Information makes the world a happier place (not necessarily a safer happier place though). In the case of the Tix clock, the patterns can give you the time.

Millions of patterns are possible with the futuristic-looking Tix clock, yet the clock is extremely simple to read once you grasp the basic concept. The four seperate fields act like the four digits of a digital clock. The value of each digit is simply the number of illuminated squares in each field. So any given time of the day may have thousands of different ways of displaying the time. The clocks in the image are displaying the time 12:34. It’s that easy! Of course your friends are just going to take a look at your Tix clock and think it’s just modern LED art. Dullards…

Please note that the image to your left shows the clock static. However, you can set your Tix clock to update every second so that you end up with a constantly evolving change of patterns that reveals to you the time.

Features

Brushed metal faceplate
Available in Silver or Black
LED illuminators last indefinitely
Three display update options (every second, every 4 seconds, every minute)
Three dimming levels
May be mounted horizontally or vertically
May be placed on desk or wall mounted

Sonic Impact SoundPads

ThinkGeek Electronics

Instant Speakers!
SoundPads stick-on speakers transfer sound to any surface you stick them on. SoundPads convert posters, bookcases, tables, doors – any thin-walled high-transmission surface into permanent stereo speakers! Sound quality varies depending on the surface you peel and stick them on, so be creative!

These are designed to stick permanently to the location to which they are adhered. A bit of trial and error in choosing where to mount the sound pad is recommended. For example, you might find improved sound quality in one area of a framed picture by sliding the pad on its surface (before peeling to expose the adhesive), so be creative *before* you give these a permanent home…

Retro Phone Handset

ThinkGeek Gadgets

Dial “R” for Retro

Yeah, we know all about bluetooth headsets for cell phones, but forget that stuff! We have here the latest development in cell phone technology and it’s a big hunk of beautiful plastic. An accessory for your phone that you can really grab onto. Something with heft and that good-old-American solid construction feel – like a 1972 Cadillac.
The Retro Phone Handset is a new production replica of the Western Electric 500-series model, which was the classic phone handset for several decades. It’s been slightly modified to work with the headset jack of most cell phones (or via a “hands free” adapter kit, sold elsewhere). Just plug-in and dial – or for added effect, put your cell phone in your pant’s pocket – then it looks like you’re talking on a phone connected to… well, who knows?

Also has these great features.

2.5mm jack will work with most phones (Motorola, LG, Samsung)
Connection can also be made using a “hands free” adapter kit (not included)
No batteries required
Includes: handset and classic curly phone cord with connector

No, I will not fix your computer

Tell Them How You Really Feel

There is nothing more frustrating on this earth than constantly being asked to help other people with their petty computer problems. Of course if your job description dictates that you have to fix other peoples computers, then there is nothing so frustrating as being forced to do so

“Hey Mark, I don’t have a modem and can’t connect to the Internet, can you fix this?”

“I removed some of the pins from my monitor cable because it didn’t seem to fit right, now it’s not working at all…can you fix my computer?”

Hey Sally, Can you fix my Internet, everytime I visit a website it says my host is unknown”

ThinkGeek Electronics

A Cassette Deck for the PC
The PlusDeck 2 is a full-logic cassette deck for your PC. Use it to archive your old cassette tapes of 80s hair bands into digital media files for playback on your PC. Or better yet, archive your favorite audio files or streams onto cassette – perfect for playback in your ’78 Midget that is still not sporting an in-dash CD player. (Those of you still in the 8-track days will have to keep waiting for a PC-friendly solution I’m afraid…)

Myself, I see the PlusDeck as the ultimate in retro-cool PC mods. Add a CoolerMaster Musketeer for the analog gauges, and you’ve got some nice old-school sweetness in your modern day gaming rig.

Homer da Vinci Poster

Vitruvian Homer

A long time ago, a Roman guy named Marcus Vitruvius Pollio (sort of like “pollo” which means chicken in Spanish – mmmmm…..chicken), made a list of body proportions. Then a bit later, but still a long time ago, Leonardo da Vinci corrected some of them and sketched the Vitruvian Man. And now we have Vitruvian Homer – who updates this classic study of proportions, and distorts it to today’s standards.

Homer is backed by his favorite food: a donut, the universal symbol of unity and weight gain. In Homer’s outstretched arms, he holds the four key ingredients to happiness in this world: a hotdog, a can of beer, a pastry, and a remote control. But the best feature of this immortal poster is the look on Homer’s face. Is he deep in thought, or just confused? Is he pondering the complexities of life, or just wondering how his fig leaf is staying in place?

Deck LED-Backlit Keyboard

ThinkGeek Gadgets

Adjustable illumination!

Take a nice long look at the only LED backlit keyboard with every character on every key individually lit, not just the frame and gaps in between. Deck’s lights are rated at 200,000 hours of life. That’s pushing 22 years if the Deck is never turned off. The LEDs can be easily adjusted to one of seven brightness levels to reach the desired level of illumination.

This thing looks great and is built to last. Deck keyboards are constructed with 50-million cycle switches and gold cross point key switches. (Putting it into perspective, the keyboard you are using right now is most likely using 1 million cycle switches and no gold). It is built to operate smoothly in environments from minus 40°C to plus 70°C. So you’re safe in both Antarctica and Death Valley. You never know, you know?

Available in four colors, Fire (red), Ice (blue), ToXic (green), and Gold (yellow). See additional images to check ‘em out!

Never Threaten to Eat Your Co-Workers: Best of Blogs

ThinkGeek Books

A Voyeuristic Collection Of The Internet’s Best BLOG Entries…

Do you occasionally wonder,

What kind of person works at a porn video store?
Do public defenders believe in their clients?
What does a reporter feel when he visits war-torn Iraq?
What happens after a child star falls into obscurity?

Thanks to Web logs, or “blogs” as they’re affectionately nicknamed by Net-savvy voyeurs, anyone can jump into the shoes of a video salesclerk, a criminal court lawyer, an international journalist, or a TV star, among others.

While entertaining and educating, these virtual diaries represent a cross section of the people who dwell online. This book features the Internet’s most provocative writing, by unknown writers and underground celebrities.

Neil Forrester, former cast member of MTV’s The Real World, gives new meaning to the phrase “Bite your tongue.” Meanwhile, Star Trek:The Next Generation actor, Wil Wheaton, gives his take on the Hollywood system and fleeting stardom.

Elsewhere, web designer Heather Hamilton finds herself unemployed after postin on-the-job stories to her personal blog. And humorist Choire Sicha shares advice about broken hearts and timeshares. Plus: tales of creepy video-store customers, office pranks gone awry, a childhood encounter with Darth Vader, and so much more!

ThinkGeek T-Shirts

Too Hot For Some…

As any monkey will tell you, here at ThinkGeek we love delicious Hot Coffee. Sometimes we like it standing up, sometimes on our knees, and sometimes we just like to sit back and enjoy someone else serving us Hot Coffee. A lot of people like Hot Coffee, and a lot of people have been talking about it. Too many people have been talking though, and the goverment is taking away our Hot Coffee. They’re replacing it with Decaf. Decaf sucks.

Stand up, sit down, or get on your knees with us and morn the demise of Hot Coffee. If you don’t get it, you won’t get any. But if you do get it, you might still be able to get some. At least with a shirt.

Black t-shirt in heavyweight 100% cotton with “Hot Coffee, gird your loins for love.” printed on the front in white ink.

Wi-Fi Digital HotSpotter (Canary Wireless)

ThinkGeek Computing

WiFi Detection with LCD screen

We haven’t seen any WiFi sniffing dogs at the airport but we suspect that somewhere there is a small group of individuals dedicated to training such useful helpers. Until these canines are trained and domesticated we have a device that can assist in “sniffing out” the presence of WiFi. It’s a nice unit that offers several improvements on currently available WiFi detectors.

Your typical WiFi detector will only show the presence of a signal and relative signal strength. This Wi-Fi Digital Hotspotter, from Canary Wireless, has a 12-character LCD that provides information on signal availability and strength as well as essential network information, including SSID, security status and channel. When multiple networks are present the LCD will allow you to scroll through information for each network.

Also has these great features.
