This is yet another one of those MacBook decals, but now in color! The bright and shiny Iron Man MacBook decal is bound to capture the attention of people and potential MacBook thieves out there. $14.99, skinat Etsy shop.

When it comes to recycling books, we usually think of shredding the book into scraps and turning it into recycled paper. However this clever idea from studenthacks reuses an old hard cover book to be used as a carrying case for the iPod and its accessories!

This method of recycling can be performed by anyone as a simple project. All there needs to be done is to find an old unused hardcover book, measure and cut out the necessary voids off the pages of the book and you got your very own custom made iPod carrying case.

This will definitely match the MacBook Pouch where both of them can be safely stashed in a bookshelf amongst old books without standing out.

Want an iPad that bad? Here’s a way to get one for yourself, and that’s to make one out of Lego as shown by BrickJournal on Flickr.

There are a number of key similarities between this Lego iPad and the real one. Firstly, they don’t come with Flash support, secondly they don’t come with USB ports, and lastly there is no sign of a camera built into them!

Neon Genesis Evangelion fans, heads up! Here are two bikes from the Evangelion Bike Project by Magic Media that will offer two bikes themed in the famous Asuka and Rei NGEVA suits. While the color of the two bicycles looks quite flashy, it should appeal to Eva fans from both Asuka and Rei camps.

The two bikes, EVA00BIKE type-r (Rei model) and EVA02BIKE type-a (Asuka model) will retail for 98,280 yen each and pre-order lasts from January 22 to February 28 2010 at the official Evangelion store.

Thanko has come up with a monstrous USB hub that is filled with 80 USB ports on it! The hub hooks up to an AC socket and is only available for charging devices but not for syncing with a computer.

Unless you’re a super USB gadget techie, many will be unable to fill up every single slot for such a hub that costs 165 bucks.

Which reminds me of an interesting USB yakiniku mod from few years back; Now that could be a good solution for filling up those leftover ports.

Remember the classic cartoons that often feature characters getting crushed by heavy weights and still survive? Here’s a novelty lampshade with that nostalgic sense of humor perfect for a cartoon lover’s home.

Fortunately the lamp shade does not weigh as much as it’s shown, so it’s perfectly safe to be walking below it without the need of fearing for your life. $65, Meninos. Roadrunner wall decal not included.

Hello Kitty is one famous Japanese icon that has made its way into people’s lives in more ways than one. Here’s one of its latest incarnations as a donut on a handphone strap! Non-edible of course.

Having one of these huge but soft and squeezable Hello Kitty donuts hanging by your cell phone will definitely make you crave for a one all the time. Comes in three flavors, vanilla, strawberry and chocolate. 500 yen each, Strapya-World.

Here’s a unique looking MacBook pouch called the “BookBook”. The reason why it’s special is not hard to tell, as it is made to look like an old hardback book. Not only does it adds a certain sense of nostalgia, it is also a good disguise for a MacBook to be hidden in a bookshelf amongst classic hardcover books.

Besides the unique look the BookBook provides, the hardback cover and book spine is obviously functional as well, providing excellent protection against the elements.

The BookBook hardcover pouch comes in two sizes for 13 and 15-inch sized MacBooks and is available in two colors, classic black and vibrant red. $79.99, Twelve South.

Built by Italian artist Mirko Ginepro, these iPod coffee table are definitely attention grabbers. While they can’t play music, the coffee table does hold a good amount of magazines at the lower deck, while the window is good enough for looking through at a portion of the collection.

In essence, not much redesign was needed to create it but definitely the right product was chosen to be made into a piece of working furniture.

Looking at the mobile phone sprawled on the table gave me an idea; If the entire click wheel can be modified to provide wireless charging for devices, that will be absolutely awesome and functional not only for the owner but for the guests as well. Either that or transform it into a working turntable to pass food and drinks around, which wouldn’t be too shabby either.

Here’s an easy way to make ferrofluid with household items and a rare earth magnet. MICR toner and cooking oil does mix to make such a magnetic liquid but it looks really messy.
