This is way out of the realm of things I usually recommend, but it was so darn cool I just couldn't pass it up. Remember trading mixed tapes back in high school? (OK, is there anyone here over 30??)

Well now you can fuel your nostalgia for mixed tapes while keeping up with 21st century technology. You get the look and feel of a cassette tape, complete with space for your play list, but you record on a USB stick that holds exactly 60 minutes of music -- just like those cassettes you used to love.

Brilliant!

Any Name Automata

First to recommend

Description

I've just recently stumbled upon several automata. How very cool. This one is a little sexy.

A stunning and unique automata, based on the theme of women and tattooing. Made from solid copper etched front, back and sides with photographic images related to tattooing in the early 20th century. Inside is a resin-set image of a woman and when the handle is turned a tattoo is added, or removed, from her bare back.
