Keep Your Love of Gadgets from Making You Broke

Gadget freaks, relax. When every new gadget makes you whip out your credit card, it's not a good sign for your wallet or your bank account. Your love of gadgets doesn't have to mean going broke from credit card debt. Put Things Off has a great article on how to curb your anxiety everytime a new gadget is announced.

Then again, when you've got the money to blow on gadgets, go ahead. No ones stopping you from being an early adopter. Just don't complain when the prices are lowered a few months later.

Macworld 2008 Keynote


Check out Steve Jobs' keynote at Macworld 2008 here. I'm personally not blown away by any of the things he announced. However, I'm sure a number of people are or will be psyched about a certain practically-paper-thin laptop.

Bug Labs at CES 2008


I'm sure all tech enthusiasts are drooling over the Bug Labs modular gadgetry. For those who can't get enough of it, here's a demo video with Jeremy Toeman c/o Mahalo Daily's Veronica Belmont taken during CES 2008.

Those little wonders will be shipping by March so those of you who can't wait to get their hands on some modules can head over to their site at Buglabs.net by January 21st when they start taking orders. Now's the best time to save up, since the modules are not exactly cheap. However, early adopters will get a discount (terrific idea on their end) so at least you won't feel like a shmuck a few months later.
