In the spirit of the Olypmics, this Nike Tattoo Blow Up T-Shirt looks very stylish and comfortable and would go great with a pair of comfortable jeans.

iPhone 3G Cases, Screen Protector and iPhone Apps

David Chiu — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 07:40:44 +0000

Two weeks ago I was able to convince my wife that I needed to purchase the new iPhone 3G since I cracked the screen of my old Windows Mobile HTC Tilt. So I ended up being one of those crazy people waiting for hours outside the Apple store. Now that I have my iPhone 3G I am completely iPhone iObsessed. So here are a couple of iPhone 3G accessories that I would like to have:

Griffin Elan Form Case with
EasyDock for iPhone 3G (Black)

Incase Protective Cover
for iPhone 3G

Both cases are getting great reviews at the Apple Store, but I think the InCase case might provide more protection. One thing I also need are screen protectors since I hate getting fingerprints on the screen:

And lastly, it would be nice to receive an iTunes gift card so I can buy some of those iPhone Apps:

Rosco LitePad HO

The Rosco LitePad is a flat panel light source which consumes very little energy and produces very little heat. The soft light is perfect for video/film production lighting setups. What’s even better is that the 3×3 panel only costs around $80.

NOOKA Zub 38 Zenv

I first heard about Nooka watches from a blog post which said that Nooka made a limited edition glow in the dark watch for Kanye West. Yes, they are very different from your normal watch - but that’s what makes them so cool.

ICON A5 Sport Airplane

The ICON A5 is a two-seater sport airplane aimed for the masses. It’s supposed to be easy to fly and the wings are foldable for easy storage. At $139,000 it sounds like a steal - once I’ve won the lottery.

iPhone 3G

David Chiu — Sat, 14 Jun 2008 19:03:53 +0000

The 2nd generation iPhone - the iPhone 3G. Now with 3G speed, GPS and App Store. This is the hot ticket this summer coming to AT&T.

Garmin Nuvi 850

I just saw a commercial for the Garmin Nuvi 850 with voice-recognition. Very, very cool.

Simply speaking, nüvi 850 is one advanced navigator. It features speech recognition (SR), a widescreen display, preloaded maps, an FM transmitter and more. Like the rest of the wide nüvi 800-series, just speak a menu option and nüvi obeys your command.

Litepanels Micro On-Camera Light

David Chiu — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 07:59:14 +0000

This freaky thing is called the Litepanels Micro. It’s a state-of-the-art LED on-camera lighting system for videographers. What makes it awesome is that it’s small, compact and made of LED lights which emit very little heat and consume a low amount of power. This would be great for all my indie filmmaking needs.

Electra Townie 21 700c Bike

David Chiu — Fri, 23 May 2008 22:34:42 +0000

I’ve been looking for a beginner’s triathlon bike and happened to see an ad for Electra in this month’s Men’s Health. Electra has some very stylish bikes and I may just have to get this one for my training bike.

The Netflix Player by Roku

David Chiu — Tue, 20 May 2008 23:49:42 +0000

Over 10,000 movies and TV episodes instantly

No change in monthly Netflix costs and you continue to get your DVDs by mail

Easily connects directly to your TV

Pause, rewind or play anytime - just like a DVD

Guaranteed to work with your TV

I just subscribed to Blockbuster’s Total Access program - but I might need to cancel that instantly and buy the Netflix Player by Roku instead. It’s 10,000 movies on demand with UNLIMITED streaming! The box is only $100 and you just need a Netflix subscription over $9.

UPDATE: Turns out that you don’t get blockbusters on day one release that you’d get from Apple TV and you don’t get Dolby Digital 5.1 surround, but for less than half the price of an Apple TV it’s still a very tempting offer!
