Infinite USB

This picture pretty much says it all. The Infinite USB solves any USB port issues by making every USB head have a male and female connector. This means that you will never have to deal with the problem of plugging and unplugging USB chords again!

Moral Choices T-Shirt

Stemming from the 2007 game Bioshock, this shirt refers to the act of either "Harvesting" or "Rescuing" Little Sisters from the clutches of Big Daddies. The former resulting in murder and the latter resulting in the little girl being alive.

It's iconic, simple, and unmistakable by fans of the game; although your not-so-gaming-savvy friends might give you some strange looks. Either way, the shirt is being sold for $18.95 at SplitReason.com

Cardboard Record Player

This is a picture of a fully functioning cardboard record player. When the record is spun with the pencil, the vibrations of the record go through the metal needle and are amplified by the material of the corrugated cardboard. When the cardboard is folded, it is small enough to fit into an envelope. This project was a result of GGRP's proving its sound engineering capabilities.

Dilated Peoples - You Can't Hide, You Can't Run

20/20 was not a typical album for Dilated Peoples. It was not assembled like a traditional album, but more like a mix-tape. A "greatest hits," if you will, of new recordings and tracks. Among them is You Can't Hide, You Can't Run; a phenomenal song with good rhymes and a better beat produced by member Evidence.

The album was somewhat of a flop and is a sour note among fans of DP, however many casual underground listeners loved the album. I highly encourage a listen, but do not take it as a good example of what DP can do. The album features guests such as Talib Kweli and Krondon.

Invisibility Cloak

It seems that "bending light waves" is the way to go about making something invisible in a 3-dimensional plane. Earlier this month German scientists were able to successfully hide a bump on a piece of gold. They did it by stacking "photonic crystals" in a wood-pile-like manner, and bent light around the surface's blemish.

The study of using "metamaterials" to bend and control light is referred to as Transformation Optics. It is a relatively new field that has many speculating that cloaking large-scale objects will be a possibility in the years to come.

For now, this small achievement with the gold is a very promising step in the future of Transformation Optics. This is an up-and-coming technology that has endless uses. Imagine being able to hide unsightly off-shore windmills, or being able to cloak special operations forces.

Lupe Fiasco - I'm Beaming

Chicago rapper Lupe Fiasco is currently working on his third and apparently final studio album titled Lasers. The album is scheduled to be released sometime in 2010. I'm Beaming is the second single that Lupe has released, the first being Shining Down. That track has been removed from Lasers due to the not-so-hot response from fans.

Fiasco has been on tour with B.o.B. since early March. The "Steppin Lasers Tour" hits the Boston House of Blues on April 7th 2010. Buy tickets here.

Antigravity Platform

Have a trinket (3 ounces or under) that you want to display? Want to display it in the coolest way possible? Have an extra 90 euros? Live outside the United States? If you answered all of those questions with a yes, then keep reading. If not, well, keep reading anyways. Internationally designed and tested, IWantOneOfThose.com presents the Antigravity Display Platform. The gadget uses electromagnets to levitate a metal disk.

Simply plug the platform in, place something on the levitating metal stand, and give the object a light push. Not only will it stay suspended, but the object will revolve indefinitely. This, ladies and gentlemen, is the future of display cases. Unfortunately, its only available in Europe right now. No doubt they will make their way to U.S. shores in due time.

The 90 Euro package comes with the large electromagnet (with built-in blue illumination lights), a levitating metal stand, and a globe for default display.
