This just might be one of the handiest ways to share your music with friends or just play it for yourself without headphones. This little Tripod speaker will work with just about any iPod - though I think my 80GB iPod Video would be too heavy for it - and it will also [...]

I was planning to write about the Charmmy Kitty vacuum cleaner I saw over at Stylehive, but it was just so fabulous that DreamKitty sold out of it and it’s not on their site anymore! Instead I am bringing you the Hello Kitty vacuum cleaner seen at left. This is a far [...]

Sorry I haven’t been posting, the past couple of days were insanely busy at work and I was exhausted when I got home. Anyway, I’ve never heard of Tatung, but I like them already. Their LCD TV/monitor comes in pink! It’s only 17 inches, so as TVs go it’s pretty small, [...]

It’s Independence Day in the United States, which frequently means cookouts and fun times. So I thought I’d bring you a tasty American invention: cotton candy. It’s known as candy floss in the UK and fairy floss in Australia, but it’s nothing more magical than sugar and some food coloring. Cotton [...]

Much to the dismay of Shiny Shiny, everything comes in pink these days.

Remember the old Virginia Slims ads that said “You’ve come a long way, baby”? Well, so has the Sony Walkman. What started as a personal audio cassette player has morphed into a lean, mean, video-and-MP3-playing machine. I had no idea the Walkman played video now! The one pictured at left [...]

This little gadget is a light-up mirror powered by your USB port. It seems that USB power is replacing mains power for a lot of products these days. I actually think this one could be rather practical for a girl geek like me - not that I’d be putting on makeup with [...]

Oh my god, this is not just any pink limo. This is the Love Limo. It’s operated by a wedding service in Bristol that caters to same-sex weddings. If you are in Bristol, Wales, or Southwest England and you want a totally faboo limousine, you can call up Pink Weddings and [...]

I totally get the appeal of this little MP3 player, it’s tiny and cute! This 1GB Creative Zen Stone holds about 250 MP3s and weighs about an ounce. The controls should be pretty familiar by now, they’re not exactly the same as the iPod but they have the same basic functions. [...]
