Turn photos into wallpaper

Betterwallpaper1.jpg

People love to decorate their homes with framed photographs, but why not take the image and blow it up to wallpaper-size instead? That's precisely the service provided by Better Wallpaper, a UK company that will take a digital image file, print it onto wallpaper and deliver it (with instructions on how to apply the wallpaper) to your doorstep.

You can customize the wallpaper size to whatever you prefer (though anyone trying to cover an area larger than 20 square meters is advised to contact the company for more detailed specifications). The price varies with size, but as an example, a printed sheet 1.5 meters (approximately 5 feet) x 1.5 meters costs £90. The company handles both UK and international orders, and will provide a PDF proof of the final product before it proceeds with the final printing.

Tattoos for geeks

geektats.jpg
Geeks don't have the toughest image, but it doesn't mean they shouldn't wear their nerd status on their sleeves. Not "Born to Ride"? How about "Born to Code"? Geek Tattoos feature iconic designs (hearts, skulls, hellfires) combined with nerd objects of lust like IP addresses, USB symbols, and power buttons.

Geek tattoos are $7.95 for a set of 16 from Archie McPhee.

Courier Case for Urban Life

iPod-courier.jpg

Inspried by street warriors , AKA bike messengers, the Griffin Courier case carries your iPod and everything else you need in a rugged, yet attractive case.

It keeps your iPod close at hand with the wrap-around protective sleeve but lets you flip open the case, control your iPod, and flip it shut with one thumb. That's dexterity. The second flapped pocket holds sync cable, earphones, and even a flip-style mobile phone (no, it won't hold your iPhone). Two other interchangeable cases fit 5th generation iPod, 1st and 2nd generation iPod nano and give access to hold switch, headphone port and dock connector case. The larger case can also accommodate 4th generation iPods, though access to the headphone port will be blocked when the player is in the case.

Loops on the top and bottom accommodate a matching carabiner and allow you to hook Courier to most anything, or, in my case, hook most anything to a Courier.

$29.99 from our friends at Griffin.

Spider-Man speaker pillow

spider-man-pillow.jpg

If the Spi-Dog speaker system isn't doing an adequate job of broadcasting your love of Spider-Man to the world, why not make it your mission to slowly replace each and every pillow in the house with this? A big ole Spider-Man head.

Because although it may look purely decorative, it's actually got some function stuffed in along with all that polystyrene filling. See that cord coming out from the side of Spidey's 12" x 12" x 2.5" head? Plug it into any standard 3.5mm headphone jack and you've got yourself a plush set of speakers (his eyes, I suppose), complete with volume control.

The Spider-Man speaker pillow can be ordered now for about $18.
