The ‘Brick does not endorse this girlly brick thing. It’s basically a Lego photo frame from Brando, for little girls or those with girlly cubicles. You don’t attach other bricks to it. Instead you attach little flowery accessories like a clock, hair brush, cell phone, and hair dryer for some reason. Looks like it comes in white and purple.

You’ll want to hide this in the same spot you hide your Hannah Montana stuff, so your co-workers don’t make fun and call you a sissy girlly man. But if you’re going to buy this for your little girl, it will cost you $16, even though the whole thing is pretty lame. I’m sure she has Legos already and can make this herself.

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.

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.

Everyone has been somewhere in public before like the movies, a restaurant, or church and been bothered by other peoples cell phones ringing. I know on more than one occasion I have wished I could silence other people cell phones, with something other than a kick to the groin of the offender.

Brando has announced a new handheld portable universal cell phone jammer that claims it can block all cell phone systems including GSM, DCS, PCS, PHS, ECT, CDMA, and even 3G. The device has the power to create an area with a radius of 8 to 10m where cell phones can’t get a signal. The device measures 5.8 cm x 11.8 cm x 2.2 cm and has a dual miniature antenna.

If Donkey Kong were created today instead of hundreds of years ago, this is what Donkey Kong would throw at Mario. Since it’s a speaker, the Donkey Kong theme music could play right from the barrel as Mario jumps over it. But never mind the weird connections that my brain associates with certain gadgets.

This beer barrel thing is a portable speaker for your phone or laptop. For some reason. Very portable and a great accessory to bring with you when you travel, since it will fit in your suitcase easily. You can get it for $14.00 from Brando. If any Princess-napping apes are reading this, buy these and throw them at Mario. Because I’d really like to see that.

Of all the variety of USB devices out there, it sure seems nice to have one which incorporates others. Such is the case with the USB 4-in-1 Web Cam, on sale for around $23.

The USB 4-in-1 Web Cam, which can attach to surfaces with its suction cup, has a built-in Web cam, microphone, fan and LED light. It works over USB 2.0 and runs in Windows. Now you finally have a device to give you that well lit, hair blown look as you flirt away over your Web cam.

USB 4-in-1 …

The iPhone power station from Brando elongates your iPhone much like the iPhoneneck, while at the same time giving you some emergency juice should your battery get low. The LED blink lights look pretty neat, with an arrow pointing to your phone, just in case you can’t figure out where it goes for some reason.

No info on how much of a charge it gives your iPhone, but I’m guessing not much since they mention “1000mAh”. It will cost you $25.

Just how do they keep the Mushroom kingdom clean anyway? Looks like all the mushrooms in the land are actually vacuum cleaners. Makes sense. I mean, you need something to suck up left behind star power, coins, Yoshi poo…

These are also perfect for the messy gamer. I’m sure they can suck up that mound of potato chip droppings that have collected in your game spot. Well, maybe they aren’t that strong, but they make your home look more like a Mario game and I happen to know that’s a personal goal of yours. The Mushroom vacuum runs on 2 AA batteries and is available in red, orange, green or purple for $12.

The SATA HDD Dock was certainly a hit when first launched and Brando has been capitalizing on it ever since. Last we had heard they added some USB ports and card readers to the dock to give it some additional usefulness and today the SATA HDD Dock has become the SATA HDD Multimedia Dock.

The old Stage Rack still has the ability to dock your drives in a raw sort of way, but can now connect to your TV through S-Video and composite jacks, allowing you to stream out video and pictures from your drive (or a multimedia card or USB drive) without the need of a computer in between. It even comes with it’s own remote control.

Brando has again upgraded their handy SATA HDD stage rack, this time adding a couple of USB ports and card readers on the front. The computer peripheral, now called the SATA HDD Multi-Function Dock, can connect to your computer through either USB 2.0 or eSATA port and will dock a 2.5″ or 3.5″ SATA hard drive.

The hard drive dock still works with PCs and Macs and continues to provide convenient alternative to cracking open your computer case or using a simple but often messy cable solution. In this model Brando decided to do away with the Firewire they had previously and just stick to the USB and eSATA connections.

By now, you’ve probably seen the robot chicken from Sega Toys. The fuzzy chick has been hard to actually find and order. But now you can get the Robotic Chicken from Brando for $26.90 and thus all your chicken dreams will come true. It’s a lifelike baby chicken that cries and flaps its little wings like the real deal. When held, it will flap its wings, pet it on the head and the chick will chirp.

Each Chick is packaged in a transparent egg where it sits on a little nest. You get the idea. It’s all about you and a (fake) baby chick connecting and sharing a bond that’s probably really unhealthy, but hey you got nothing better to do, so why not.

At first glance, this little mouse thing is pretty cute with it’s blue glowing eyes, but then you start to wonder if those eyes would pulsate just as your power goes out. Next you are mesmerized and before you know it, you are doing it’s bidding. Hypnotized, you keep buying more, building it’s army. One day soon, when it damn well decides it is ready, the electronic army will launch it’s next offensive from your house. When the last little demon rolls out the door, you will no longer be hypnotized, but you will know what you have done. Drop to your knees, gadget collector. For you have doomed the world. It is appropriate to cry.

Meanwhile in another reality…This tiny mouse from Brando is not a computer mouse. It connects to your iPod, CD, PDA, computer, or other gadget using a 3.5mm stereo audio jack. It’s basically a creepy little speaker.

Sure you can get a regular little rectangle 4-port USB hub just a handful of dollars, but what fun is that? This USB Runner Hub also has 4 ports, costs $12 and looks a whole lot cooler. The ports are cleverly placed in the end of one leg, arm, front of the base and in the brief case that swivels 180 degrees. This running man USB hub stands a little over 100mm tall and supports USB 2.0 and 1.1. It does look pretty neat but unless there is some heavy weight in the base (71g total weight) or some kind of suction cup I think it’s going to be tough to keep this guy on his feet when he’s plugged in and hard at work.

We’ve seen some pretty handy adapters to connect your internal drives, externally to your computer with things like the Stage Rack and this USB to SATA adapter but none of them match the convenience of the USB 2.0 Universal Drive Adapter from NewerTech. This adapter not only connects SATA drives to your computer’s USB port, but it will handle ATA/IDE drives as well.

Anytime I upgrade computers or just upgrade my drive I always keep the old one because inevitably a day will come where I want something off of it that I thought I would never need again. Opening up the computer case is a real pain and adapters like this are well worth the money in the time it saves alone. The adapter works with all 2.5″ laptop drives, 3.5″ desktop drives and will connect any existing 5.25″ drives such as CD-ROMs, DVD-ROMs or removable Iomega Zip drives.

Real live Beetle battling has been big in Asia for some time. Here in the states, not so much. It must be because it’s hard to train beetles. Yoko Ono tends to distract at least one of them. These RC beetles have 4 degrees of movement and can even lift up to try to flip their enemy.

You get 1 beetle per pack, with a training target for practice. The remote takes 4 AA batteries and will also charge your beetle. The contenders weigh in at 50 x 90 x 145mm. Just imagine all of the fun you will have as you try to rise to the top of the Fake Insect Fighting league or FIF. “John has Ringo on the ropes. What’s this? Paul has entered the ring illegally. Have you ever seen a pincher hold so effective?”
