I think it’s safe to say that the floppy disk has seen better days, so what are we all to do with the mountain of floppy disks lying at the bottom of our desk draws? No, throwing them at the Amish is not the answer I was looking for. But creating a stylish geek accessory is. The guys over at Instrucables have put their old floppy disks to good use, and constructed a fully functional shoulder bag.

If you’re feeling creative, they offer a full photo walkthrough on how to make your own floppy disk bag. But be warned, being seen in public with this bag may result in severe injury.

If everyone thought that the Optimus Keyboard is looking to empty out your wallet, you ain’t seen nothing yet. Stealth Computer Corporation is offering a stainless steel, 80′s looking keyboard for the staggering price of $1195.00.

Looks like it may be time to get into the attic and start digging through the old comic book collection, as Neatorama.com have named the World’s Most Valuable Comic Books. The list contains seven well known comics, such as Batman and Superman, that date back as far as the late 1930′s. Each comic listed has it’s original sale price, and the estimated value that they could sell for in todays market, some of which are reaching into a six figure number.

Anyone lucky enough to own one of these rare beauties, or know of anyone that does?

For those that don’t want the expense of an iPod dock, fear not. As a crafty iPod lover has come to your rescue. All you need is a small cardboard box, some tape and the original USB wire that comes with your iPod.

Here’s one I prepared earlier.

When someone mentions a vending machine, I instantly think of an over-priced, slightly warm beverage. But in the land of the rising sun, they’re thinking fishing and fried foods. It’s no suprise that they do things a little different over in the far east, but they’ve really gone all the way with their vending machines. PhotoMann has managed to capture a good few images displaying Japans wide variety of ‘interesting’ vending machines.

Prepare yourself to be amazed.
