I’m a nerd. It’s no secret. Here are some cool stuff I’ve seen in 2013…so far!

Pebble

Pebble connects by Bluetooth to your iPhone or Android device. Setting up Pebble is as easy as downloading the Pebble app onto your phone. All software updates are wirelessly transmitted to your Pebble. COMPATIBILITY iPhone 3GS, 4, 4S, 5 or any iPod Touch with iOS 5 or iOS 6. Android devices running OS 2.3 and up. Works great with Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich)! Unfortunately Pebble does not work with Blackberry, Windows Phone 7, or Palm phones at this time.

Razer Gamepad Controller for Razer Edge

The Gamepad Controller for the Razer Edge makes it the only tablet in the world that allows for console style gaming on the go with full PC game support, immersive vibration-feedback and direct reflective acoustics.

Cubify 3D Printer

Cubify is a place to express yourself in 3D! Whether you’re just looking for something unique (a belt, a lamp, a toy) that’s been 3D printed, or you want to design and print your own creations from scratch, or anything in between, Cubify has you covered.
