It takes a special kind of nerd to have a glowing radioactive USB sheep on his desk. One who wears goggles even. It’s based on the Seamour Sheep comic series, which follows the misadventures of Seamour and presumably his…sheep. Just plug this little guy into your USB port, dim the lights, and enjoy the smooth soft hues of a glowing electric sheep. Much like these animals, the placing of his USB cord seems unfortunate, but at least no farmer is backing him to the edge of a cliff. You can own one of these limited edition of 500 radioactive sheep for $69. Seems expensive for a glowing sheep, but what do I know?

On the sickeningly cute side of USB flash drives come these Cat’s Paw drives. The Cat’s Paw USB flash drive comes in just one memory size, 2GB, but on the other paw hand you can choose from blue, black and white colors.

The price is a steep $61.38, but maybe it could be your new lucky charm. Sort of a modern day rabbit’s foot that holds data and occasionally grants wishes. It should be noted that if you have actual cats, they’re going to wonder who lost a paw and if they are next. I like to think that the white/pink one is a limited edition of four that they acquired after holding Hello Kitty down in a butcher’s shop, but that’s just me.

When you think about it, it’s kind of weird that toast is such a hugely popular food. I mean it’s basically burnt bread that’s ready to crumble in your hands. What’s weirder are all the new ways we’ve found to enjoy toast. We can even make it in our PC’s and decorate it with a frakken cylon. The Scan Toaster printer concept takes it all a step further, from designer Sung Bae Chang.

Details are a bit thin, but it connects to the internet via USB and can print images or text on bread using a flexible “module” unit heated by a wire. What it means is that you could read the news on the very breakfast that you eat. The Scan Toaster concept was a finalist in the 2008 Electrolux Design Lab competition. Sadly, it may be awhile before it hits the kitchen.

The other day we told you about the Evangelion USB Flash Drive. Now Buffalo Japan will release another one. Some of you will no doubt think that it’s the cutest USB thing since Hello Kitty. It’s a REI model, that will give you up to 4GB of memory. If you’re a fan of the Japanese manga series you’ll have to get one quick since it’s limited to 5000 pieces. The price is $54.25 and it will be available on September 30th. It’s much cuter then the first one and has more storage.

Fall isn’t officially here yet, but people are beginning to decorate and think about the upcoming Halloween. If you like to decorate the office with all kinds of geeky paraphernalia, these new USB powered pumpkin lights fom Brando may be perfect for you. The string of lights is completely powered by USB and has eight little pumpkins all in a row.

If you go overboard and want to light up the whole place, you’ll want a nice USB hub with many ports. The lights flash and they work with any computer that has a USB port. Each string will cost you $13. Now all you need are some USB witches and scarecrows. These are kinda creepy and kinda geeky.

Andrea Electronics believes it has an affordable solution for turning run of the mill PC sounds into more premium audio. It is called the PureAudio USB High Fidelity External Sound Card (USB-SA) and you’ll find it pricing around $45.

The USB-SA from Andrea Electronics takes the form of a USB flash drive but it is, in fact, a USB sound card. It is designed to be used to enhance the sound of any existing legacy headset, microphone or speaker by replacing “the computer’s existing integrated sound system” and eliminating “external noise, simultaneously increasing both the intelligibility and performance of stereo microphone input and stereo speaker output.”

Good old Thanko, who has been known to give us all kinds of quirky and craptastic gadgets has released something that may actually be useful in the apparel department. Whether you want to look like an X-Man or just need a cool pair of shades. It’s the All-in-One portable media player sunglasses.

They sport UV protection against the sun, plus you’ll also get some other features like: Support for MP3/WMV audio files, Supports MP4/MPG/AVI (Divx3/4/5&xVid)/ASF video files, miniSD memory card slot, USB 2.0 connectivity, Four EQ presets – Rock, Classic, Normal and Bass. Sure they look a tad dorky, but movies will seem like they are on a 50 inch tv directly in front of you when you watch them on these glasses. The price is around 270€.

A new Sony docking station being made available for VAIOs makes use of DisplayLink technology for USB-enabled displays. It is called the Sony VAIO Docking Station (model number VGP-UPR1) and you’ll find it available now for around $200.

The VGP-UPR1, according to DisplayLink, allows Sony notebook users to connect an analog or DVI display to a laptop using USB 2.0. It supports a resolution up to 1600 x 1200 and works with Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Vista 32-bit and 64-bit, including support for the Windows Vista Aero interface.

StarTech.com unveiled today its new USB to VGA 4-in-1 Docking Station. This laptop computer accessory is priced around $130.

The USB to VGA 4-in-1 Docking Station houses, according to StarTech.com, “a DB15 High Density (female) VGA port, as well as four USB A (female) ports, one USB Mini B (female) port, one RJ45 (Female) 10/100Mbps network port, and two 3.5mm audio (mic, line out) ports.” A single USB connection is all that seems necessary to access all of these ports.

StellarWindow comes from students in Japan and consists of software and a USB dongle, to assist those who love to gaze out at the night sky. It will give you all of the names and stars in all of the constellations. Because hey, you like to look, but you probably don’t know everything. The software works with the USB dongle that has a built-in compass and tilt sensor.

When the software is installed and the USB dongle connected, the dongle will figure out where you are and can point to things in the sky at your location. The software also sports built-in voice recognition so you can ask it to find certain celestial bodies. The software isn’t available to buy just yet, but the students have formed a company and they plan to release the StellarWindow software sometime this year for about $244. Seems a tad expensive, but if you really love stargazing, I imagine it’s A LOT cheaper then your telescope.

Completing the USB flash drive trifeca for this evening is the TrekStor drive/bottle opener. Since you already have a USB drive and you probably already have a bottle opener, why not combine the two? How many times have you found yourself opening bottle after bottle, getting blitzed while moving data around? More times then you can remember since it’s all a foggy haze.

It can store between 1GB and 16GB of data. Use it as a keychain and you’ll always have your data with you and never be thirsty. It’s not even a bad looking drive. Of course after a few beers everything is better looking, isn’t it? It will cost you about $10 when it’s released next month.

Fans of Japanese manga Evangelion will love this USB flash drive inspired by the series so much that they’ll toss their old flash drives aside. Then there are those who will keep it in the box and preserve it like an Egyptian mummy in the hopes that it is a collector’s item that will make them rich one day. Dream big my geek friends. Dream big. When was the last time you heard someone say, “I’m so glad I kept that USB drive in the box. It made me the millionaire I am today.” Whatever the case, the flash drive is designed like the Mecha’s cockpit and will come in 2GB capacities. Just use the damn thing!

We’ve told you about the awesome muscle car flash drives from Jasonscreations. This is another one of his works. A bit more morbid, but probably great for Halloween or a gift if you want to give someone the finger. From his Etsy shop: “Each finger is freshly cut and removed from the local morgue (no, not really….well…..maybe) and equipped with 1gig of memory. Now, you can finally give that geek in your life “The Finger”. Hot swappable, plug and play, no drivers needed.”

It will definitely get you some attention while you type away at your favorite coffee shop. I wouldn’t leave it lying around unless you’ve told anyone who lives with you beforehand. They might not see the USB part and call the cops.

Pinnacle Systems is launching yet another wave of new USB TV tuners for those who want to bring television to their computers. These compact tuners are known as the HD mini Sticks and they’ll be available in PC or Mac offerings for around $120 or $130, respectively.

The Pinnacle HD mini Sticks are USB-powered tuners which, in general, let you view and record digital over-the-air TV (ATSC) and unencrypted digital cable TV (ClearQAM) for SDTV and HDTV with resolutions of up to 1080i. One can make use of these devices as PVRs with timeshifting capabilities that enable users to record, pause or rewind live TV. Recordings can be scheduled as well via programming data from an Internet-based guide.

Your mouse says a lot about your personality. If you like portability and great design your mouse of choice is probably the arc, while a Baseball fan would love this dorky mouse. Maybe you love the Olympics, but use these Olympic Mascot mice year round.

What I’m saying is that our mice are as varied as we are. What kind of person would use these Ladybug mice from Brando? I’m thinking girls mostly, maybe strange scientist dudes that collect bugs and put holes in the lid. I have no idea, but they look good out in the grass and for $12 you might as well get all buggy. If it doesn’t work out as a mouse you can always mod it to be a desktop Roomba or something.
