right on bro!

I bought a bunch of stuff from Axshop.com. If you’ve never heard of them, they’re known for selling ridiculously cheap gadgets, most of which are cheap crap from Asia. It is, however, totally fun to browse their store to see all of the crap they have. They’ve also got one of the lowest ratings on resellerratings.com - lots of people are pissed off at them for taking forever to receive their orders.

Well, after waiting for three weeks, I finally got my order. Two items totally rule:

Drive-Alert Electronic Nap-Zapper Anti-Drowsy Alarm - This is one of the funniest products I’ve ever seen. You turn it on, and attach it to your ear. It’s got some sort of sensor where if you tip the device more than 30 degrees (i.e. you are falling asleep), a loud, annoying BEEP goes off right in your ear (i.e. to keep you awake). I don’t think I’d ever use it but it was totally worth the price just for the laughs.

Retractable iPod Nano/Mini/4G HotSync USB-Data-Cable - This is the most useful product out of the bunch - to keep my iPod charged wherever there’s a computer around (at work). I keep it in my bag all of the time, just in case. It’s flimsy but it totally works. I saw this for sale at CompUSA for $14.

I also got a cheap set of earbuds with a microphone attached to it for Skype calls (sounds crappy but it works), and a mini camera tripod (haven’t tried it yet since I hardly use my camera these days).

Verdict on Axshop: Have fun looking at all of the cheap crap they sell, order about $20 worth of crap, and be prepared to wait a long time to receive it. And if you don’t ever receive it….well, it’s only $20.
