July 31st, 2005

NotebooksI’m on the verge of changing the caption on top of this page to "Technology, gadgets and speaker systems from a girl’s perspective." Yes, I’ve discovered yet another unique speaker system. Unlike the Pig Speakers and the Hello Kitty Speakers, this speaker system is portable and fashionable. The Music Studio Stripy speaker system is a set of portable speakers with an aluminium finish. Apart from the two speakers, the central half sphere serves as a control knob which glows a different color depending on what you want to adjust – i.e. pink for voulme, blue for bass, and green for treble. The speakers also have swivelly tops which allows you to orient the sound in whatever direction you choose. These Music Studio Stripy speakers have 4.5 watts of power blasting out of them and are great to tag along with a laptop, ipod, discman, or PSP. These classy portable speakers retail for about $123 USD. (Source: Stuff UK Magazine, August 2005).

Girls’ Gadgets of the 1920’s & 30’s

Camerasyesteryeae_1Lately some companies have been pushing
out Digital Cameras geared towards women such as the recent Harajuku
Lovers Digital Camera
from HP.
At first I thought that it was about time that companies had started taking notice of the females in the
gadget universe. Little did I know that as far back as 1928 there was a
company producing cameras geared towards a female audience. From 1928 to 1933,
Kodak manufactured several colored and deco-styled cameras that were designed
to attract women. Among the camera kits designed was the Vanity Kodak Ensemble
outfit, which included a color-coordinated camera, lipstick holder, compact,
mirror and change purse in a fitted case. Similar models included the more
common  Ensemble, and the
very rare Coquette. There was
also the Series III
Vest Pocket Vanity Kodak
, a metal and embossed leather camera came in
Bluebird (deep blue), Cockatoo (green), Sea Gull (gray), Redbreast (red), and
Jenny Wren (brown). There was even a Girl Scout camera, and
Camp Fire Girls’ Kodak
camera that were each
manufactured with scout logos imprinted on the body and cases. For more
information on these fashionable cameras of yester year check out ...

The Mus Computer Mouse that looks like a Cursor

The Mus one-button computer mouse looks like a cursor that fell off of your monitor. It also makes you wonder why it took so long for someone to come up with this clever, yet obvious design.
