Need more USB ports ? Who doesn’t, amirite? Well then look no further than Thanko’s 80-port USB panel. At $200, there’s really no reason not to buy a half dozen. Plus, adjustable voltage. WEEWOOWEEWOOWEEWOO!! ??????????????????????80?????USB?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????80???????????????????????????USB????80??????????????????????????????????????????????? Unless you run a ‘Rent-A-Port’ by the minute business (genius) or make something in bulk that needs to be charged before selling, why the hell would you need one of these? Don’t get me wrong, I’m still buying two, but that’s only because I have 101 Dalmations 160 USB humping dogs and think it would be hysterical to see them all going at it simultaneously. Wouldn’t that be funny? You’d watch it on Youtube, right? CHANNEL VIEWS NEED CHANNEL VIEWS. Product Site via Who Needs More USB Ports? [forevergeek] Thanks to Melissa and Darkwing Duck, who charge things the old fashioned way: with space technology.

I’ve been trying to avoid iPad related material because, damnit, I just don’t care. What do I look like, a tech blogger? Please. Anyway, I am posting this video of Pee-Wee Herman with an iPad because, well, I didn’t know he still made videos. Just don’t expect too much in the way of comedic relief, because there isn’t any. Of course, if you read Geekologie regularly, you should be used to it. Wait, did I just — gotdamnit. Pee-wee Gets An iPad! [funnyordie] Thanks to Reverend Faux and Joe Soap, who both know today’s secret word.

I don’t know about you, but I shoot to kill. Especially when it comes to protecting my castle (rent-controlled apartment). So I’m gonna have to pass on the Koosh bullets . AND seconds. Really, I’m stuffed. Lightfield has been selling these projectiles to law enforcement agencies and wildlife officials for years. Each round is filled with a soft projectile that resembles a koosh ball. They look like toys, because they’re made by a Chinese toy factory. The best thing about them is that they aren’t likely to kill someone even if they are fired at point blank range. They’re so soft that they’re almost incapable of penetrating the body. Eh. I’m a little hesitant to shoot toys at an intruder only to have them return fire with adult bullets. No, I think I’ll be sticking to my laser blaster, thank you very much. And I’m not just saying that because I accidentally glued it to my arm training for the robot wars, but that’s exactly what happened. A closeup of the projectiles after the jump.

This is a smattering of Pokmon characters drawn in a traditional Japanese style (high-res shot of more HERE ). The artist took the time to recreate all 151 original monsters though, so you’ll have to hit the link at the bottom if you gotta see ‘em all . See what I did there? That’s just one of the many services your GW offers. Also, spa treatments. Body massage? WHO WANTS A BODY MASSAGE? ????????????? [livedoor] (with a whole bunch more) Thanks to Ford and Shaun, who, get back in your balls!

Scanning receipts and business cards is a great way to stay organized, but using a flatbed scanner to do it can be a pain. In addition to taking up plenty of your precious desk space, with a flatbed you need to lift the cover and arrange the little bits of paper neatly before you can scan them. The HoverCam X300 eliminates these problems, by using something more akin to a camera to scan your stuff from above. You simply stick your paperwork under the HoverCam, and it will automatically rotate the scan so it’s square, and crop the image at the edges. You can even stream its video output to a pico projector , turning the HoverCam into a mini digital overhead projector. At 1,600 x 1,200 dpi, you’re not going to want to use this to scan your precious photo collection, but that would be missing the point. This is all about having something readily available to help keep your paperwork organized, while not taking up much desk space. The HoverCam X300 is available now for about $140.

It’s been a big week for the gadget world. But it’s been an even bigger one for the gadget-parody world. The iPad has inspired unprecedented ridicule worldwide, even for an Apple product. This level of derision is usually reserved for something with the word “Zune” somewhere in its name. Continue reading for every graphic, video and feminine-hygiene joke we could find about the iPad. Feel free to add any we missed in the comments.

This is a rap about Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and the stress it puts on a relationship . Which is exactly why I don’t play it. Also, I don’t know if it was just me or what, but the bass sounded like complete ass. Not a sexy, shapely tush either, I’m talking about a super f***ing sloopy one that hangs down to the back of a girl’s knees. You know, or it could be my laptop’s speakers. Youtube via Official Modern Warfare Music Video [channel1031] Thanks to Josh, who once knife-killed an entire platoon and still used the blade to roast marshmallows.

It’s hard to imagine an airplane being something so simple that you could build one with parts from your local hardware store, but apparently the Pietenpol has the blueprint to make it work. And they’ve been making it work since 1928 . It all started when Bernard Pietenpol, with only an 8th grade education, set out to make the “common man’s airplane,” which is known as the AirCamper: During the Great Depression, Bernard H. Pietenpol, with no more than an eighth-grade education, designed a “common-man’s airplane” built with scavenged and hardware-store parts. Today his son and grandson carry on his legacy, and his airplane’s simple design enjoys a popular following among people of all ages who share his dream of flight . Check out more of the AirCamper in the video below, which is a trailer for a larger documentary about the craft. Boing Boing , via MAKE
