Cheap USB Flexible Keyboard [DaddyTech]

The name of this product is Foldable USB Keyboard, Black. That’s a little misleading, since it’s not foldable as much as it is flexible. (It does appear to be black, although I’m color blind so who knows.)

What is nice is the price – $5.68 at Amazon.com. Could be a good item for when your little Edward Stickyhands wants to mess with your laptop and you’d rather he not touch the same keyboard that you use.

1GB SpongeBob Media Player Only 15 Bucks

Memorex SpongeBob Square Pants 1GB Digital Media Player w/ 2.2 QVGA Color Screen with Image Viewer, NMP4075-SBS-Refurbished

You love music. You love video. You love SpongeBob.

Wait, let’s try that again.

Your CHILDREN love music. Your CHILDREN love video. Your CHILDREN love SpongeBob. And because you love your children, you tolerate their love of that weird little yellow water creature.

So, being a good parent, you will buy them a SpongeBob Media Player. It’s only $14.99. Yes, it’s refurbished. But look at it this way. No matter what you buy for your child, they will probably break it. This is way cheaper than an iPod, and they’ll think it’s more special because it has SpongeBob on it. Heck, buy two. It even has games on it (I’m guessing something like “Squidward Invaders”; I just made that up, so don’t blame me if it’s something else) and can act as a USB Mass Storage Device, which is more than I can say for an iPod. (Take that, Steve Jobs.)

Only $14.99 at Buy.com. Here are the specs and links to make your purchase.
