It’s Almost October 21, Time to Get Back to the Future

By on July 16, 2015 in back to the future, blinking lights, gadgets, general geekery, more nerd than geek, usb

flux1We’re almost to that spot in the future where Marty McFly meets his future self. It’s time to get your nostalgia on in a way that’s practical. Time travel itself – probably out of our reach for a while if not forever… but you can still have a functioning flux capacitor. This realistic replica helps you charge your gadgets that make the famed flux capacitor look pretty primitive in comparison. You can get one of these things you know you’ve secretly wanted ever since you’ve seen Back to the Future, for just $34 from Amazon.

October 21, 2015 is just around the corner. Get ready for the arrival of Marty McFly and Doc Brown – just make sure you’re able to get your DeLorean to 88 mph!

Refined Wood Meets Steampunk Meets Geeky-Nerdy Lamp

By on July 12, 2015 in blinking lights, design, furniture, gadgets, general geekery, gifts, hand crafted, kickstarter, more nerd than geek, refined wood

alampI really dig this simple, yet refined lamp design by Erol Chandler. The simple triangle shaped lamp, made of hand-finished eastern walnut hardwood, features small Edison-style teardrop bulb suspended from the top of the a-frame and a red cloth cord with a two way dimmer switch is the original A-Lamp. Chandler has introduced other designs, including his O-Lamp, which are now available via his Kickstarter campaign.

THIS is a classy, geeky (and admittedly, a tad nerdy) lamp. It is well finished and combines the Edison style bulbs that are a favorite of steampunk fans with fine crafted and stained wood.

Geeks will love the mechanical toggle switch which blends ease of use with industrial design. The toggle features a 2-position dimmer, to boot. There’s a lot to love about these simple, elegant conversation pieces.

As of this writing, there are 12 days left on this Kickstarter and a few early bird options are still available.

You can follow A-Lamp Design on Instagram, Twitter and their website.
