Keyport Render

Imagine, all of your keys in a compact, switchblade style key fob. Basically like those nifty VW/Audi keys, only it holds ALL of your keys (well, three six of them)! I’ve been intrigued by the Keyport for a while now, but I haven’t seen anything beyond artist concepts. Well, the folks over at Notcot just got their hands on a pre-production unit. Looks like they are built pretty well.

I love bags, satchels, backpacks, and pretty much anything that will let me pack things up and carry them with me. While I’m constantly on the hunt for new bags, I’ve come to have a greater appreciation for what has been for me, the greatest bag on the planet: My Henry Tompkins Leather Satchel.

Micro Spy Remote

Your TV is no match for this remote. By harnessing it’s powers, you can become a TV controlling GOD! Such power over the universe, and yet it still fits in your pocket!

The Micro Spy Remote is a tiny litle keychain that will control most TVs out there. It measures a mere 2.3″ x 1.4″ x .25″. When you want to control a TV just hold down the mute button. The remote cycles through its various TV codes until the TV you’re trying to control goes mute. You then release the button, and you now have control over the TV. There’s really not much more to it. Something that is extra useful about this (other than wreaking havoc with public TVs), is that when you lose your TV remote to the hobgoblins in your house, you can still control your own TV provided you haven’t lost your keys. You can pick up one of these gems at ThinkGeek for a mere $9.

It’s simple, it’s small, it’s nerdy, it’s awesome.

ThinkGeek [thanks to Mike for showing me his awesome keychain]
