The Fire Bell Alarm Clock has two jobs in life: 1) To look like the kind of awesome alarm clock that Ivan Drago would keep by his bed and 2) To wake you up. Of course, since Drago never sleeps, we can’t say for certain if he’s a Fire Bell Alarm Clock user. However, if anyone could withstand this clock’s assault, it would be “The Russian” from Rocky IV.

Vat19 is home of many cool gifts, and this one struck me as something I NEED. Waking up in the morning has lately become quite a challenge for me and I’m sure others have the same problem. This stylish yet effective clock isn’t a fire alarm but certainly sounds like one! I would gladly spend $14.95 to wake up on time every morning. Plus, no need for coffee since I’m sure this will get the adrenaline flowing! Find it at Vat19.com.

As I’ve said before, USB devices are a dime a dozen. When sitting at those all night LAN parties with nothing to drink but warm Dew, one would dream of this. This valuable find will quench our thirst, literally. Sick and tired of running to the fridge for another Dew or Beer, having to get up and leave the game? Now you don’t have to! This little guy is powered by USB and refrigerates your can or small glass of liquid for future drinking. Within just 5 minutes of plugging it in, it goes from room temperature to a cold 45°F (8°C).

USB devices are a dime a dozen these days, I’d even say they’re becoming more of a fashion thing! This little gem is sure to make your cluttery desk all that more interesting. Sporting 7 high speed ports that swing side to side with a 90° swivel range, this may help to decrease (or just increase) that clutter.

Of course it includes the extension cable, and comes in a sleek black color. Not much can be said, just you’re regular old hub, aside from it’s unique style. You can pick one up for only $17, quite a deal for a root-port powered hub.

Like everyone else in the world, I’ve moved on to emulators with all my favorite previously purchased ROMs at hand. Heck, if I could bring my NES with me where ever I go, I certainly would! But let’s get real here, that isn;t going to happen.

Finally, however, there is a hand held NES system for everyone to enjoy floating about the population. With the FC NES at my side, maybe I can finally leave my parents basement knowing my Duck Hunt is safely tucked away in my backpack !

There are a handful of good animated T-Shirts out there, but how many of them display real time Wi-Fi signal strength? This one does! Finally you can prove to your boss that the signal strength in your cubicle sucks, and you don’t even have to say it, just throw on this stylish animated shirt for casual Friday and sit back and wait for the techies to come racing with a brand new range extender. (Actual results may vary).

Gadgetry and watches seem to go hand in hand, from 1.4 Inch video/MP3 watches to Wi-Fi detector watches, you can find it all on your wrist. This little gadget is something all nerds should have. I know I’m tired of losing my USB flash drives all the time, and I’m sure you are too! But unless you forget your arm at the library, you probably won’t be forgetting your USB watch drive anywhere.

It’s standard USB 2.0 and will work as a normal flash drive (Plug-n-Play), and is even water resistant up to 20 feet (as long as you let the USB connector dry before using it). It’s no larger than a regular men’s watch, and is really durable. It’s not quite so fancy shmancy, but who cares, it’s a storage drive in a watch! Pick it up at ThinkGeek for $59.99, or the 2GB model for $34.99.
