Put a mini Iron Man to work storing your boring computer files with this sculpted USB drive from Tyme Machines. Although his Mark VI suit and triangular chest plate offer 4, 8 or 16 GB of space, the real question is whether it will offer the same protection and flying characteristics that Tony Stark enjoys.

Your love affair with Photoshop doesn’t have to end when you log off the computer. Aside from the magnets we’ve featured in the past, you can also hang these 20 retro Photoshop commands above your mantel as your own personal nerd Picasso. The commands are silkscreen printed on a 31.5? x 6.7? bar of MDF plywood with a carved hand tool which is pictured after the break.
Thankfully, someone has liberated the cursor from its 2D prison so it can be used for hanging and identifying you as a computer nerd. The index finger is still the only one in the air, so it must be grateful.

From Fashionably Geek: The iKey KYB-170-OEM wrist keypad is an updated version of the iKey AK-39 keypad. Both meet military specifications and can be integrated to control computers worn on your wrist. The KYB-170-OEM features a 17 button keypad, an integrated micro Force Sensing Resistor (FSR) pointing device and can be manufactured with any available color of LED lighting for use in dark environments.
The only problem is that you can’t unleash your secretary-grade typing speed on it because this updated version operates like a cellphone, meaning you’ll have to press “7″ four times to get the letter “S”. If you’re using this for military applications, that’s probably not what you want to be focused on in the heat of battle.
Why let your USB cables hang out on the floor when they could be neatly wrapped up and pleasuring an eyeball? These cable caps offer stretchable bands and bizarre sexual innuendo that will allow you to keep your USB cables under control. Choose from one of 6 bizarre but gratified looking faces to house the cable head, like the “I’ve had better” camera, the bucked-tooth printer, or the “Ooooooh that’s cold” egg. Additional designs are pictured after the break.
Hop on board the Blue Bird express and prepare for a short 128 MB joyride down the information superhighway. With most USB flash drives today easily offering a gig of space or more, it will become readily apparent that the school bus is no cooler in the world of file storage than it is in the world of transportation.

Instead of struggling with the messiness of eraser residue, computers provide those two magical buttons “backspace” and “delete” for a clean appearance and no paper to file. Couple that with the blogger’s best friend: strikethrough, and old-fashioned methods lose all their luster. Really, all you get here is heartbreak; first when the little down arrow key breaks off after using it as an eraser handle one to many times, then when they eventually wear away to nothing… But hey, they still look cool!

A teapot that looks like a computer can bring some sanity back into your life. As much as you depend on your real computer, the damn thing is unreliable at best. The Computea Teapot will never fail you and will not get a virus. And something about putting anything resembling a computer onto a hot burner is just therapeutic in itself.
