Upcycled Vintage Shoes Become Retro Walkie-Talkies That Really Work
I wrote an article last week about the importance of recycling our old smartphones. Now that there are more smartphones on the planet than people, if we don't recycle them properly, they could become the cockroaches of technology. It's always refreshing to see people come up with creative ways to re ...
Anatomy Of An Audio Cassette (For All The Youngins)
I know one of the first things someone is going to ask me about this article is what is a "youngin." According to the Urban Dictionary, the word youngin is country slang, and it means young people. I live in the south, and a lot of people here who use that word, so I can assure you it's alive and we ...
Vintage Action Figures From The 1978 The Lord Of The Rings Movie
The world can't seem to get enough of J.R.R. Tolkien's epic Middle Earth. It's like we always crave more, and the first movie in the prequel series of The Hobbit should stand as testament of that.

Vintage Computer Parts Cover Popular Songs
As I was carousing the Internet today, I stumbled across a YouTube clip titled "FUN- We Are Young- Old School Computer Remix." Being a huge fan of remixes, computers, and old school, I thought it would be wise to take a look. As it turns out, this video had nothing to do with the 2003 Will Ferrell f ...
Classic Couture Geek Style: Vintage Prints On New Urban T-Shirts
I recently read an old quote from Alexander McQueen about the new era in fashion with no rules and merging styles. Then I thought, so what does that mean for me? Fashion isn’t something I think about a lot, but even though all I really wear are t-shirts, I’d still like to somehow take Alexander’s li ...
13 Vintage Apple Ads That Helped Shape Who We Are Today
I remember back in August when Forbes magazine published an article called Apple Now Most Valuable Company in History. It caused quite a stir online, and people quickly rephrased that a little and started calling Apple the most successful company in history. It doesn't really matter whether you love ...
Ultimate iPhone Dock For The Retro Traveling Geek
It's funny how a new gadget can make you stop using your old gadgets. Take the iPhone 5 for example with its new Lightning connector. I keep wondering how many people have put their old, still functioning docks and gadgets in a corner never to be used again. It's sad, and the overpriced adapter does ...
Complete Vintage Collection Of Original Star Wars Action Figures

Vintage Toaster For Hot Dogs Brings The Retro Into Eating
It's about noon, and I am starting to get a little hungry. Today is a particular stressful day, and it's exactly days like these that I could totally go for fast food. A hamburger or a hot dog sounds about as cool as it possibly could right now. That is not exactly a good diet though, so I think I'l ...
Hello Kitty Vintage POP Phone For Your Smartphone
How do you accessorize your smartphone? Some people settle with just a case, skin or a little mascot of some kind hanging on a thread from their phones, and others take their accessorizing a lot further. To those people, the ordinary and sometimes boring ways we accessorize our smartphones don't rea ...

Rad Steampunk Remote Controlled LED Light Up Club Shoes
We've written about shoes with LEDs several times over the past few years. Apparently designers really like to put those little lights on shoes. In my opinion, most of the shoes that we've seen with them in the past have been, well, ugly. They are usually boring sneakers lined with LEDs or something ...
Drinkman: Vintage Booze Bottle For Your Partying Pleasure
It's a new year, and there are all kinds of new parties to plan and attend, for most people anyway.
