I know what you’re thinking, how many times have you needed a 59 diamond-studded mouse to impress your office buddies? Or perhaps the question should be, how many times have you wanted to flush $25,000 down the drain?

That’s what this mouse monster costs and it doesn’t even feature an ergonomic design. Tsk. As Shiny Shiny says, it IS very sparkly but then I would prefer to spend that money on a nice Tiffany item thankyouverymuch.

Somehow I don’t think I will be wearing these items any time soon, but I love the idea. Mike and Maaike have come up with pixelated leather jewelry called Stolen Jewels.

They say the items are - “An exploration of tangible vs. virtual in relation to real and perceived value. Using Google Image Search, we browsed through some of the most expensive and often famous jewelry in the world, the resulting low-res images we found were stolen, doctored, then transferred onto leather, creating a tangible new incarnation. With the expense of the jewels and the intricacy of their construction stripped away, their essence and visual intensity are extracted.”

Just how geeky is this? Admit it, it’s a fun idea and will certainly give you plenty of attention if you were to wear them.

Not sure if you really WANT male geeky attention, mind you.

Remember the old dancing flowers of the past that used to bounce and jig while While Lines was blasting on the old box stereo? Well, we all know the recent success of iDog has moved such daft technology to the next generation.

Now comes a new funky device dubbed the iPenguin - designed to dance and light up like a Christmas tree when it “hears” your music. Plus the fact the creature is super cute really helps.

Fancy a different way to store all those important half finished book ideas, dodgy pictures and music you normally store on your pocket USB drive? Take a look at this - it’s a USB stick stuck in a fairly fashionable tiny bag. There is a nice touch though - the bag inflates with the amount of data you add to it.

Personally, I would love his if they could make miniature Louis Vuitton or Fendi bags but then the price would also inflate, and not just the mini bags themselves.

Philips has decked out a whole heap of technology in lovely Swarovski crystals. The company is clearly targeting women who love shiny gadgets by saying these accessories take “technology to a fashionable new level for women.”

Various headphone and USB memory devices are fully fitted out, all ready to be snapped up by women who really want to ramp up their gadget fashions, according to the team at Engadget.

Take notice electronic giants! If you make pink girly gadgets, the female demographic is sure to follow. BenQ takes this approach with two new seven megapixel digital cameras filled to the brim with functions but all stored in a super slim design. And good news for the boys out there, the camera is also available in a variety of colors - Cool Silver, Midnight Black, Vixen-Red and Pearl White.

This tiny camera, at a mere 14.9mm, takes the record as the world’s slimmest 7-megapixel camera with a 3.0” touch panel display. T700 is equipped with an array of functions including S.S.F. (Super Shake-Free) system which helps stabilize your images when you aren’t. S.S.F. helps you record photos and videos with brighter, clearer and more natural colors.

The T700 also supports high ISO value: ISO 4000 in movie recording move and ISO 1200 in photo mode, letting you better capture fast-moving objects or taking photos in low light conditions.

Engadget is reporting that Sony’s worst kept secret, the Santa Rosa-based Vaio CR series has finally been shown.

Best of all, Sony is continuing to embrace multi-colors for these swanky new laptops, instead of the usual boring silver / grey / black look so beloved by far too many companies.

With nice LED keyboard-bordering and the option to pick up a color-coordinated mouse and bag too - what more could a girl want? You can pick this beauty up from $1,350 for Core 2 Duo T7100 goodness and a whopping 2GB of RAM.

When I’m not trying to finish my novel the old fashioned way (pen and paper) I’m having to type in front of a very boring computer monitor. Wouldn’t it be great to spruce it up a little? Say some nice gold edging, marble, that kind of thing.

Well, the team at Steampunk have done just that and made it into a lovely writing unit fit for a king or, as in my case, princess.

Some of the highlights include: The finish is a good match for the 19th Century gas lamp arms that I bought from Sequential Glass. The gold painted piece of trim from Michael’s finished off the base. The knobs that connect the screen to the gas lamp arms are kitchen cabinet knobs from True Value Hardware.

Genius!

The headline says it best. You can now get yourself togged up with a nifty pair of pink panties which can be used to record username and passwords for Google, for example. One problem is the need to actually undress to view the the username and password and very possibly the ability to read letters upside down. But then I don’t think these things are actually meant for a real practical purpose.
