Now how will I ASK A GADGETTE? I need someone to tell me when it's TOOL TIME or POTTY TIME because I just don't know on my own when IT'S ABOUT TIME. Please don't UNFRIEND me for saying so but it seems like a GENDER GAP is happening here when it comes to the end of Gadgettes. It's not PRETTY. It's FUG. You can't even dress this news up with some BLING RX to make it work. How will I find my HOT ASIAN GADGET fixes and my HELLO KITTY WATCH alerts? THERE'S AN APP FOR THAT?! WHAT A CONCEPT. WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT? KILL ME. Yours always, Holly in NYC (hollyhock) P.S. Seriously though... This sucks. I understand why but I don't have to like it. :( I can't believe that Gadgettes is coming to an end. It has been an essential part of every week for me and the only show that makes me laugh for an hour straight. You have been the most totally awesome show in the history of human-kind EVER (that is not an overstatement). Your pure awesomeness has been the most awesomely awesome of all awesome. I really wish the show wasn't ending. I really wish the show wasn't ending. But I understand. But can't you just go till episode 200 or something? Or make the show bi-weekly?? Or just DON'T END!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you Molly, Kelly, Lindsey, and Jason for all your awesomeness. Cushy Tushy for life! Farewell Gadgettes! Liam New Brunswick, Canada Just saw Molly's post on Facebook about Gadgettes demise and I want to scream. Not that Facebook sucks personal security donkeyballs but that Gadgettes will not be around anymore. Full disclosure - in 45 years of enjoying pop culture, IT geekiness, music, movies, etc. this is my first ever fan letter. I cannot express enough how much I enjoyed your show. You all deserve to be very proud of what you did each week. Since this is my first fan letter ever I am not sure how to do it properly (AHHH JUSTIN BIEBER) but I will try. When I try and examine what it is I liked (arrgh I hate using the past tense when describing you guys) what it is I liked about your show so much, I can sum it up in one word - PUCKERED. A little while ago you were talking about a toilet seat that was leather and I think Jason used the word puckered to describe how difficult it would be to clean leather. Molly began with a laugh that was the type where you have trouble catching your breath. The rest of you guys started laughing along and that was it. I think there was a point where there was about 60 seconds of silence due to you trying to control your laughter. I often listen to your podcast on my bus commute to my IT job along with the other mindless drones who have had the life sucked out of them. And here I am, holding my side laugh | 7/1/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Boink (Thanks Mr. Rob) E-MAIL Hey Gadgettes! I was just listening to episode 186 where you guys talked about the Underfull Tablecloth. It reminded me of these awesome tea bag holders that my friend showed me. They work with the same idea, and they solve the terrible problem I have of awkwardly hiding my tea bag in a napkin when no garbage is nearby. Plus, if you have these, you have an excuse to not get up from your desk when you’re enjoying your new (but inevitably flawed) coffee mug. Love the show! Gabe Rivera Hey, Gadgettes crew, A while back, ThinkGeek showed off an iPad arcade machine cabinet but it was a joke. However, someone actually made a working iPad arcade cabinet out of cardboard. Thought you’d like to see it. Keep up the great work. - iYaz Dear Molly & Lindsay, I have a solution to the smelly lid problem for your coffee mug – denture tablets. I put a couple of tablets in the cup and place the lid in a larger bowl, fill both with hot water and let them work their magic. No nasty aftertaste to your mug (or y I use the Contigo mug and love and recommend to other people. Have you considered going back to the Contigo mug? One solution to something in your pocketbook pressing on the button is to not but the coffee cup there and use instead a bag to haul your child’s stuff. I use the Ella Tote. –Christine | 6/10/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Gadgettes 186: The 'what if all our oil leaks into the ocean?' episode (podcast) | With all that oil gushing out of the hole in the Earth, we have to ask ourselves this question.

(or maybe tool time) Inflatable lap support for notebooks Hello Kitty Watch Hello Kitty Halogen headlight Pretty Underfull Tablecloth E-MAIL Dear Gadgettes (and Jason), In reference to last week’s episode on containers for hot beverages, have any of you tried the “”Thermos 16-Ounce Stainless Steel Backpack Bottle?”" I know it’s not a mug but as a current owner of said product, I think it might fit the bill for what you are searching for. It can be opened and closed with a single hand but also has a latch to prevent accidental opening. Insulation is great as the contained liquid usually stays scalding hot for 8 hours or more. Lastly, secure grip of the thermos is possible with the contoured neck (very important for not spilling aforementioned scalding liquid on oneself). Love the show, The UC Davis undergraduate listener. Hey Gadgettes... Almost exactly one year ago in Episode 139, "The Summer Episode," you talked about the Diesel "Freak of Nature" watch, and how the three of you *hated* it. I believe some of the comments included: ? "Indescribably bad." (Molly) ? "As stupid as it sounds." (Kelly) ? "A novelty joke watch." (Jason) Well, as much as I respect your opinions, I just couldn't bring myself to agree with you. I thought the watch was pretty sweet. I'm not really a "watch" guy, but there was something about it that I just really, really liked. I actually thought about buying it, but I procrastinated, and eventually I forgot about it. Until about a month ago, that is. The subject of watches came up in a discussion with some friends, and I immediately thought about the Freak of Nature. This time I didn't wait. I ordered one that day! A few days later it arrived, and I've worn it every day since. I have never received so many comments and compliments (yes, COMPLIMENTS) on a watch before! Everyone has said how cool and unique they thought it was, and several people have asked where they can get one. (I suppose those that didn't say anything were horrified into silent rage, but I'd like to think they just haven't seen it yet. Although given how frakking huge the thing is that seems unlikely.) Anyway, I just thought you'd find this interesting. Feel free to mock me. I know I have the coolest watch in the room, no matter what you say ;-) And despite the fact that we disagreed this time, I still love the show. Keep up the good work! -Gary (from Houston) | 6/3/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

My mother’s 40th birthday is upcoming soon and I want to give her something special this year. She’s not really a tech person and only uses her computer for web browsing, email and basic word processing. She has been complaining lately how slow it is (she has a 4-year-old laptop). She also reads a lot of books. I’m considering getting her an iPad. Is this a good idea? Are there any other gadgets you could think of, that could replace the main functions of a laptop and are also easy to use? Please note that since I’m 14, my funds are limited to around US$600. Keep up the great work, Jakub from Australia E-MAIL Dear luckiest guy in the world, or Jason, as you are sometimes called… How is it you have managed to land the best gig on the planet, and how can i be more like you? Molly & Kelly are just so darn wonderful. Full of wonder. And full of win. And you get paid too? Double score. I salute you sir. You are a stud. Humbly yours, Dave in NY In reflection of episode 183, I think you have stumbled onto the next social media application for a mobile phone. It's the combination of four square location based services and farting. Now you can navigate the office area free of air pollution with GPS coordinate and Google Map precision. Stop using that finger to pull and start steering clear using the touchscreen. Kind regards, Alan -- | 5/27/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

I wish that I had more time to work on it, but here is what I was able to do with a few hours of spare time. I’ve attached 3 Pictures with different layouts, one as a standard layout (Standard Plan View), one for cocktail parties (Cocktail Plan View), and one for movie watching (Movie Plan View). To simplify things I kept all existing furniture except the TV Cabinet and added a new TV Stand and TV. This is the stand I chose for you. The reason I like this one is that it’s elegant, had a spine that hides all the cables and you mount the TV on, and it swivels that mount so you can rotate the TV. I believe I would recommend a 42″ TV for the space layout, but you can make your own decision. As far as other components go I can work with you if you choose my design and want any advice, but I think you have plenty around you :) I didn’t show anything in the model now, but I can add stuff later if you want to see a more final product. Design-wise, I tried to make the most out of the space while allowing for maximum versatility. I hope that the different pictures illustrate this versatility with simply rotating or slightly moving some furniture. With the TV located where I have placed it you are able to keep the same amount of space for the TV area, while gaining extra space by the fireplace for more intimate tasks like reading and the kids have some open play area. This should also allow you to watch TV while in the Dining area if you choose (the swivel TV stand helps here), as well as put a lot more chairs in the Dining area for watching movies should you wish to. I believe going around the corner of the couch to walk through the space is more helpful for the space layout than it is hurtful as long as the door swings open freely. I would have liked to do some things with lighting and paint colors, but time restraints limited me to just working on the layout mostly. Of course I’m more than happy to work with you to tweak things to get it there. Scott Clay (Claymation) I stumbled upon Geeky Clean and thought you guys would enjoy it as much as I did. (I just ordered 3 soaps from there.) http://www.geekyclean.com/ Keep on being freakin’ awesome. Penelope In a never-ending one-upsmanship battle, Yanko Designs outlines the deets on the iTit (no, not the it-it), annnnd it’s exactly what it sounds like. No word yet on price or if it will come in various sizes/color tones based on the user’s preferences, but I believe it should come with a warning: “”Don’t scroll too hard, it’s sensitive.”" (Too dirty? lol maybe... :P) Anyway, have a great day!

It’s a fact that 97% of marriages end in divorce or spousal homicide due to in-bed flatulence. Thank God some one had the good sense to invent the Better Marriage Blanket and put an end to the madness. I believe you can find it at Bed Bath & Beyond in the ‘First World Problems’ aisle. Although maybe you wouldn’t need the fart blanket if you weren’t sitting around eating lasagna from your Desktop Microwave all day long. ‘An ounce of prevention’ as they say. If the blanket proves incapable of containing your spouse’s prolific posterior emissions then perhaps you can settle for cathartically shooting them with this concept Post-it assault rifle instead of actual bloodshed. Anyway, this is starting to sound like the worst Price is Right showcase ever so I’ll say ‘keep up the good work’. LTS, Andrew aka Frontline Someone has had too much time with their Bedazzler. So we have this. Sheala GA Gadgettes, The reason so many products have both french and english text on the packaging is that there is a law in canada that any product sold has to have both english and french labeling. Some companies have separate packaging for both US and Canada but others use the same in both places. Especially when it comes to free samples. Probably because it is more cost effective. My wife is from Canada and on one of our many trips up there. we stopped to refuel. As we were paying for our gas and others supplies (ie slim jims and sunflower seeds). I saw a soda in the cooler. It read what I though was raisin flavor. So I proceeded to make one of my many inappropriate joke about canada and my wife just looked at me and it grape soda stupid.
