Are you a geek, or an uber-geek? This USB Swiss Army knife includes a red LED, ballpoint pen, knife, scissors, file-n-screwdriver, key ring, and a detachable USB flash drive that holds 256MB of whatever data you need to survive in the concrete jungle. You’ll want to detach the flash drive when it’s time to go thru airport security, bubba. The only reason this thing doesn’t have a latte frother attachment is that you’d get milk all over the flash drive. But what the hell, it’s got everything else you’ll need. Cyber-survivalists, this one’s got your name written all over it.

This Kenneth Wingard Mod Clock is a beautiful, large, pristine white square and has a circle precisely cut in the center. Since white goes with everything, there’s no worries about this ultra-modern timekeeper matching the rest of your decor unless you have tacky faux-woodgrain paneling and red checkerboard polyester curtains. Even then, the Mod Clock might actually tie all that together in some sick post-modern way. This isn’t just a clock, it’s a functional work of art.

Joshspear.com reports that a Switzerland-based company has come up with something that could be as revolutionary as the Segway, without looking quite as stupid. The Easyglider has a battery-powered front wheel, and the rider controls it with a long handled throttle and brake. You can remove the rear section and ride a skateboard instead, but don’t expect to do any ollies with this thing! JoshSpear.com reports the only distributor in the U.S. is in Beverly Hills, for now. It’s sure to compete with the uber-tard looking Segway. Who would be caught dead on one of those? This thing is a major step forward in terms of looks…but how fast and the damn thing go? You can’t really break any bones on a Segway, and that’s a major drawback for wannabe Jackass Part 89 stars.
