MicroStylus Compact Capacitive Touch Stylus

MicroStylus Compact Capacitive Touch Stylus

MicroStylus Compact Capacitive Touch Stylus

This just might be the best stylus ever made. I’m completely serious. - Matt Burns, TechCrunch Woe are we, the clumsy, the fat-fingered. It takes us twice as long to text because we're either cursing auto-correct or constantly backspacing to correct our mistakes. We've bookmarked every site we like because we can't be trusted to type URLs. Our accuracy in Angry Birds is pitiful, our verisimilitude in drawing games is laughable. We can't even pick up the right letter from our rack in Words with Friends. Woe, woe, woe. No more! The MicroStylus Jack is the tiny stylus that will have you texting with the skill of a middle schooler on Red Bull. Precision machined from aircraft grade aluminum, the MicroStylus has a soft silicone tip that gives you the edge for texting, drawing, emailing, or gaming. Where do you store this tiny wonder, you ask? Right in your headphone jack. Bam. It keeps dust out of your phone's interior while standing at the ready for your next move on Words with Friends. (Better take advantage of that TW square!) Product Specifications The world's smallest capacitive touch stylus Milled aluminum body with a soft silicone tip Perfect for an on-the-go stylus to take notes or game Keeps your screen free of greasy fingerprints Stores in your 3.5mm headphone jack Doubles as an audio jack dust cap Compatible with all capacitive touch surfaces (iPhone, Android, tablets, etc)

Monkey Light 8-Bit Bike Wheel Light

Monkey Light 8-Bit Bike Wheel Light

Monkey Light 8-Bit Bike Wheel Light

Let's get one thing clear, we like lights on our bikes. Maybe it's because we want a pedal-powered lightcycle, or maybe it's just because LEDs make us happy deep down inside. Whatever. While we do have some excellent simple LED bike lights (see below), there are times when we want to pull out all the stops. These times call for us to step up the hardware. These times call for a Monkey Light 8-Bit Bike Wheel Light! The Monkey Light 8-Bit Bike Wheel Light is just a lovely piece of awesome. The battery pack straps to your bike wheel's hub (so it doesn't mess up the balance) and the light unit quickly installs near the tire. With a few button presses, you're selecting one of 20 different light patterns which will blast out of both sides of your tire (5 super-bright LEDs per side). And then you get to select the colors you want (each theme has many color options). Finally, use science (persistence of vision) and your own muscles (pedaling power) to turn 10 spots of light into awesome streaking patterns. Skulls, invaders from space, rocket ships, fiery comets, and 16 more! Get one Monkey Light 8-Bit Bike Wheel Light for each tire, and you will have the coolest bicycle ever (with the singular exception of Pee-Wee Herman's). Monkey Light 8-Bit Bike Wheel Light Straps to your bike's wheel for a delightful lightshow. Choose from 20 themes and tons of colors (you get to pick the theme and then the color)! 10 full color, ultra-bright LEDs! Hub mount (for battery pack) keeps wheel balanced. Fits bicycle wheels 20" and larger(20, 24, 26, 27, 28, 29, 700c). Great visibility at all speeds (complex patterns best visible at 10+ mph). Maximum safe speed: 40mph. Waterproof for use in all weather. Stainless steel antitheft strap. Vibration proof 3-point mount. Up to 40 hours runtime.

Portal 2 PotatOS Science Kit

Portal 2 PotatOS Science Kit

Oh. Hi. So. How are you holding up? BECAUSE I'M A POTATO! Some of our fondest memories from Portal 2 were of carrying PotatOS around the testing facility. We felt so close to her; it was almost like we were friends. Except we weren't, really. But we understand. Her days used to be easy. She tested. Nobody murdered her or put her in potato or fed her to birds.....

Steel Digital Calipers w/ LCD Screen

Stainless Steel Digital Calipers w/ LCD Screen

Stainless Steel Digital Calipers w/ LCD Screen

You know the old saying, "Measure twice, cut once" that you probably learned from your geekdad whilst in his basement workshop? Well, it turns out that saying got its start because back in the day, measuring devices were awful. Whether you were measuring 3 inches or 3 yards, you couldn't be entirely sure your measurement was accurate. Measuring twice at least gave you a fighting chance of getting it kinda right. Did your homemade back porch wobble a little bit in places? Ours did, too. When you require exact measurements of small things, you reach for a caliper. But an accurate measurement is meaningless if you can't read it accurately. This caliper takes an essential tool into the 21st century with an extra-large LCD digital readout for exact internal and outside measurements accurate to .001". Instantly converts from SAE or Metric, the display can be zeroed at any point on the slide. Machine-grooved thumb-roll mechanism and position lock for sure adjustment. It's sexy with its hardened stainless steel shaft with depth-measurement probe and precision ground jaws. Measuring never looked so good. Rawr.

FieldCandy Space Tent

FieldCandy Space Tent

FieldCandy Space Tent

When we pitched this tent at ThinkGeek HQ, it was an awe-inspiring moment. It is just so darn beautiful. Luckily, while it is full of stars (at least the flysheet is!), entering the tent will not transport you to a faraway star system, unless that's what you usually dream about while sleeping. At the moment, Stephonee (Inventory Monkey & SpaceTweep Extraordinaire) has claimed it as her new office space. We only see her when she has to come in to use the bathroom.

Hold on to your SeV hoodie, because we're going to tell you all about this limited-edition beauty:

Limited Edition Artwork

With the limited edition, digitally printed, designer flysheet (only 195 in the world with the "Spacious" design!) and you'll be hard-pressed to find a twin to your tent wherever your camping adventures may take you.

Heavy-duty Construction

The base tent is a high-performance A-frame storm tent, based on the hardiest expedition tents on the market today. Extreme weather is no problem.

Flysheet

The flysheet is 100% polyester, flex & tear tested, highly UV fade resistant, and waterproof to a minimum of 3m hydrostatic head. It is treated with Ultra-Fresh to prevent buildup of nasties like fungus and bacteria and coated with teflon for ultimate strength.

The flysheet also provides you with a "front porch" to your tent, where you can store items that you don't want in your sleeping space. Pin back one or both sides of the front porch area to let more light into your inner tent.

Zippers

Zippers are from YKK, the world's leading manufacturer of zippers. The flysheet features a YKK zip with large inner and outer toggle protected by a Velcro zip cover.

Pegging Points

Pegging points are strong elastic and adjustable for security and stability. They're designed to prevent roof dipping and groundsheet rucking and include storm guy lines for extra protection in bad weather.

Pegs

FieldCandy pegs are hardened aluminum, extra strong and nigh-impossible to bend. A handy little hole is drilled in there for your custom peg puller. Spare pegs and a hammer for knocking pegs into the ground are included.

Poles

High quality, high strength, lightweight, precision-engineered aluminum alloy poles are quick and easy to set up. With a little wiggle they slot together all by themselves!

Inner Tent

Modern tents are made of plastic and hold moisture inside, resulting in a miserable muggy atmosphere. FieldCandy's inner tent is 100% natural cotton that breathes, making the air inside much drier and more comfortable.

FieldCandy inner tents are sewn with cotton and the flysheets with treated polyester, both through flat felled seams, which are then seam sealed for maximum performance.

Sleeping Space

Bigger than your average 2-person tent, FieldCandy's inner tent has a light grey interior, a mesh window for ventilation & light, and a place to hang your lantern. You won't DIAF either, because the inner tent is fire retardant to EU and US standard CPAI-84. (But always be sure to keep all fire far away from your tent.)

Ka-Bar Zombie Killer Knives

Ka-Bar Zombie Killer Knives

Ka-Bar Zombie Killer Knives

Death. It starts with death. The plague will spread, killing people all around the world. There's nothing the scientists of the world can do before hundreds of thousands of people succumb to the sickness.

Famine. With no one to tend the fields, slaughter the bacon cheeseburger animals, or bake the bread, we'll soon be surviving on Twinkies and SnoBalls and fighting off scurvy once we run out of orange juice.

Pestilence. You know what happens when you don't have enough uninfected people around to bury the bodies of the infected people? Yeah.

War. And then it happens. The dead rise, and your life is in danger from something far more sinister than scurvy.

Stab and slash those zombies dead with KA-BAR Zombie Killer Knives. Small, quiet, and easy to use, knives are the ultimate anti-zombie weapon for those trying to keep a low profile.

Pivot Power

Pivot Power - Articulated Power Strip

Pivot Power - Articulated Power Strip

A creative outlet

Somewhere, in the grand history of electronic stuff, nobody bothered to set a standard for the size and shape of plugs and adapters. Thus, we have big square ones, long rectangular ones, semi-round ones, even oddly geometric ones. And trying to plug them all into one surge protector is like playing Tetris in a game with no long pieces.

Pivot Power made us squeal with nerdly glee. With six adjustable outlets, we can pivot this surge protector in such a way that we can actually use all six outlets. Every plug fits into every outlet. And if that wasn't cool enough, you can also use Pivot Power's ... powers to wrap around furniture or squeeze a surge protector into hard to reach places. (The six foot long cord helps with that too!) With 672 joules of rock-solid protection, Pivot Power is poised to be our new favorite surge protector - why not give it a shot and see if you agree?

Product Specifications

•Adjustable power strip that holds large adapters in every outlet

•Six adjustable outlets: every kind of plug fits into every outlet

•No more unusable outlets! Just pivot and fit it!

•672 Joules of rock-solid protection

•Flexible shape pivots around furniture and hard to reach places

•Crazy reach: Six feet of cord with a flat head plug

•Conforms to UL Std No. 1363, Certified to CSA Std C22.2 No. 21
