I know I'm going to get fingers wagging when I say that guys like to be at the forefront of all things technological. Over-generalization? Maybe. But every dude I currently know loves a good gadget. They wait in electronic store lines for hours to be amongst the [first] hordes of men to own the latest, greatest, of all gadgets invented (five seconds ago), and they like to techno-fidget and play around with things they can never seem to put back together quite the right way.
OK, I lie only a little bit: I know a few who can not only put them back together, but make something completely new and cool besides with all those loose wires
But all of that's beside the point. And what is the point?
[FLY] GUYS, it's possible not only to be on the cutting edge of techno-coolowning the latest and greatest gadgets on the marketit's also possible to do so whilst conserving energy, being mindful of sustainable industry practices and conservation.
Did I mention you'd also still look [FLY]? Green gals like [FLY] Green Guys; so you better start paying attention because there are plenty of them around Jackson. What are you waiting for? It's hip and easy being green. Here are a few gadgets to get you started:
Solio Hybrid Charger
http://www.solio.com
$99.95
This snazzy hybrid solar powered/electronic gadget charger can keep your iPod playlist-ready for more than 20 hours, or charge the typical cell phone twice over. After only 1 hour of sunshine. And, it works on multiple gadgets: cell phones, mp3 players, digi cams, PDAs, your GPS and game players. Can you say, brilliant?
Muji Cardboard Speakers
http://www.momastore.org/museum/moma/ProductDisplay_Cardboard%20Speakers_10451_10001_16442_-1_11496_11501_Y_giftideas_
$42.00
At first glance, these lightweight collapsible cardboard speakers scream old skool. But take a closer look, err, listen. The portable mini wonders can be folded away at a moments notice and then taken back out and plugged into the headphone jack of your computer, sterio or other electromatic toy in seconds. Quality sound and portability meets green-minded/cutting edge design. What more can a [FLY] Guy ask for?
Strida Triangular Bike
http://www.areaware.com
$800
This bike gives new meaning to Pimp My Ride. An aluminum triangular bicycle? Um yes. It's the stowaway suitcase of two-wheeled transport: compact, comfortable and completely kick-ass. While all those other lame guys are stuck in SUV traffic jams on I-55, you can whiz past them on your mean, green, triangular biking machine, and thumb your nose at $3.50+/gallon
