The 80’s brought us quite a few innovations in both technology and fashion that we’ll hopefully never see again. But those still clinging to fading memories from that decade will no doubt be happy to carry around this little bit of nostalgia from that era. These wallets (which are more like simple zippered pockets) are fashioned from the empty shells of old cassette tapes. While there’s no slots for credit cards or places for baby photos they should still provide ample storage for a night out.
The wallets are all hand made and each one is a unique creation given how few cassettes are actually produced these days. And since the designer Marcella Foschi is Italian the cassettes also seem to come from Italy and include artists like Colonne Sonore, Renato Zero and Aldo Varini. Yeah, I’ve never heard of any of them either but I think that adds to the coolness factor here.
The Cassette Wallets are available from designboom for $32 each but it seems the site is sold out at the moment.

Besides the cool inverted LCD display and the overall slick styling the Nixon Lodown Ti appears to be particularly suited for the surfing community. The watch comes pre-programmed with tide chart data for 200 beaches covering the next 15 years which is prominently displayed on the watch face via a large graph.
I really have no idea what specific beaches the Lodown has data for but it’s safe to assume they’re probably all surfing hotspots. The watch is made from titanium with hardened mineral crystal, is waterproof to 100 meters and includes dual time functions, an alarm, a countdown timer, a wave counter and a chronograph.
It’s currently available directly from Nixon for about $200 which is pretty reasonable.

The popularity of pirates these days can pretty much be attributed to the success of the Pirates Of The Caribbean film franchise. So it’s no surprise when items like this remote controlled pirate ship pop-up in an attempt to cash in on the trend. At just over 40 inches in length the ship bucks the other recent trend of miniature RC toys but at the same time it allows for quite a bit of detailing. In fact when not being used the ship includes a stand for displaying it at home.
The fiberglass hull is of course watertight but to sail the ship you need to attach a large running keel to the bottom in order to keep it stable on the open seas. The keel is secured with a couple of easy thumbscrews but the added height means it can’t be sailed in a shallow pond. The ship includes a 2 channel pistol-grip style remote with a range of up to 500 feet and on a full charge you can expect to enjoy up to 6 hours of exploring and pillaging.
But at $329.95 from Hammacher Schlemmer you might need to find an actual treasure chest first.

You can also find a video of the pirate ship in action after the jump. Just be aware it’s a commercial that tries hard to sell every single detail as an amazing feature.
Jenna Jameson is reportedly pissing off producers who want to turn her book, “How to Make Love Like a Porn Star,” into a movie because she keeps missing meetings. Although it’s allegedly because she got plastic surgery on her vagina and she isn’t happy with it. A source says:
“She underwent a vaginoplasty at a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, and she is very unhappy,” said the source, who added, in perhaps an unfortunate choice of words, “she has decided to hole up and not speak to anybody. The producers are about to pull the plug on the movie,” which would be a mainstream production.
You’d think Jenna Jameson would’ve learned her lesson by now. If she went to the same plastic surgeon that did her face and body, her vagina probably came out looking like some sort of squid. I don’t even think the guy’s a doctor. Judging by his work I’d guess he’s an out of work janitor. Or a puppy.
Sony introduced several new products at the Sony Media Experience down in Rhodes. One of them is the first home cinema projector under the BRAVIA brand.

WAUKEE, IOWA (WPI) – In what is being
hailed as a significant step toward domestic peace, the Holcomb
household announced a major coffee accord Saturday. Under the new
agreement, Chris and Kelly Holcomb will simultaneously brew their
preferred coffees each morning on the Ultrex 415994 Travel Mug Coffee
Maker.
“Mornings have been a major source of dissension in
this house,” said Chris Holcomb, father and husband. “I only drink
French Roast, while Kelly prefers Hazelnut Creme. With our old coffee
maker, one of us would have to wait while the other’s coffee brewed.
I’m confident that this new arrangement will permit both parties to
receive the coffee they desire in a timely manner.”
The
Ultrex 415994 contains two distinct chambers, each capable of
independently brewing coffee. The hot beverage is then dispensed
directly into the two no-spill 14-oz. travel mugs, included with the
brewer.
“Between showering, dressing ourselves, getting the
kids ready for school, talking the dog for a walk, and setting the
alarm, many mornings we don’t have time to get two pots of coffee ready
and wait through two successive brew cycles,” said wife and mother
Kelly Holcomb in a prepared statement. “Naturally, this situation led
to hard feelings that occasionally boiled over into open arguments. The
Ultrex 415994 Travel Mug Coffee Maker marks an important milestone in
the peace process.”
With the coffee issue settled for
forseeable future, the Holcombs will turn to resolving the household’s
long-standing disputes relating to the toilet seat, the thermostat, and
the use of cinnamon in pasta sauce. Preliminary talks are set for this
May in Geneva.
