Retro Mini Handheld NES System

May 15th, 2009

Nintendo nes portable handheld

Sure you could go buy a new Nintendo DSI  but who wants that when you could have the Retro Mini Handheld. It plays all those 8-bit Nintendo cartridges you’ve had stacked in your basement for the past 20 years. Sure, the cartridge is essentially bigger than the handheld itself, but that’s part of its charm as far as we can tell. It’s got a 2.4-inch LCD and takes four AA batteries for about 8 hours of game time, and it’s available now for $49.99.  I wonder how you play Duck Hunt…?

April 7th, 2009

bed bunker safeIf you havn’t noticed times are a little tough; banks are failing and stock markets are tumbling.  So where do you store all your Picaso’s and gold bars… under your mattress of course.  The BedBunker safe, replaces the box spring under a bed and is compatible with most standard twin, queen and king bed frames.  Two safe sections bolt together from the inside, which makes it virtually impossible to move once the two safe sections are bolted together in place.

The safe is two hour fire rated and each section weighs 650 lbs for a total weight of 1300 lbs empty. The locks are UL 437 rated and California Department of Justice approved. The same locks are used at many government high security buildings including the Pentagon.
