Photoshop Keyboard Shortcuts Stickers are Genius
If you’re a pro at Photoshop (or any Adobe program) you know that keyboard shortcuts allow for faster and more efficient work. If you’re trying to teach yourself the program, or have more trouble remembering things than a former 60s rock musician, you need these keyboard stickers. Place each on the appropriate key and you’ll be finishing layouts in under five minutes.
Things You Need: Wood iPhone Backs from Material 6
Forget using a fake wooden case on your iPhone to show everyone your rustic side. Use one of the authentic wooden backs by Material 6 instead. Available in nine different hand-crated woods (walnut and kevazinga shown above), this material doesn’t go over the back panel of the phone – it replaces it.
Swiss Army Knives Just Got Smart
Outdoorsy. Rustic. Manly. These are all traits that come to mind when you see someone with a Swiss Army Knife. Those perceptions might change a bit when Victorinox rolls out its SSD pocketknife, which will feature a 1TB jump drive.
Best Invention Ever? Liquipel Cell Phone Waterproofing
Most of us can’t live without our smartphones and can’t afford to replace them. This causes us to avoid water more than the average house cat. Enter Liquipel – a waterproofing agent that permanently bonds to your cell phone on a molecular level, on the inside and out. The result is a microscopic shield that protects the entire phone from water damage without being noticed. Sounds genius, but we’re not willing to test it.
Parrot's Zik Headphones Must Be From the Future
Sure, these Zik headphones look the same as as every other pair out there out there, but as they say, looks can be deceiving. These babies have a built-in sensor that instantly pauses your music if you take them off. That same technology recognizes your jaw movements, and will automatically decrease the volume when you talk. Oh yeah, the exterior of the headphone is touch sensitive – swipe up and down to control volume, left and right to skip tracks.
For Possibly the First Time in History, Alcohol and Work Combine Positively
Unless you’re a bartender, drinking while working is always a bad idea. Whether passing out shirtless in the boardroom or hitting on an intern, the outcome is never in your favor. However, we may have found something that defies the odds – the Beer Floater USB Drive. This 4GB storage device is filled with a liquid that resembles beer (seriously, how does that not ruin the storage hardware?) and will definitely impress your coworkers.
Minuskulls are the Greatest Speakers We’ve Ever Seen
If you’re like us, you probably try to hide your speakers out of plain view. That will change if you can afford the Minuskull. Molded as an abstract skull, this speaker system delivers an audio and visual “that’s the coolest thing ever” moment. Two Fostex Fe-83 speakers make the eyes, while a mini subwoofer and a custom-made 50W Mosfet amplifier are concealed inside the head. Available in walnut, white, or black, these can be yours for €1,600 – which is about $2,150.
Proof that Retro Styling Makes Current Technology Awesome
If you’re looking for a pair of giant headphones for blasting Deadmau5, you might want to check out The Aviator from Skullcandy. Designed to look like pilot gear from the ‘70s, these are definitely the coolest sound-isolating headphones on the market. Packed with top-of-line technology and a 4.3’ Mic3 sound cord for answering your smartphone, dropping $150 on these is perfectly justifiable…sorta.
It’s Cyber Monday, Cancel All Morning Meetings and Get that Credit Card Ready
Monday morning meetings are a pain in the ass, thankfully today is the one-day you’ll be able to get out of them without loosing your job. Inform the meeting manager that today is Cyber Monday – the only Monday in the entire year that doesn’t suck. With projections estimating a record breaking $1.2 billion in sales today, there will be something out there for everyone.
