I’ve been looking into buying a macro lens for my Canon DSLR camera because I like to take close up pictures of gadgets and my watch collection but every time I look at prices of macro lenses, I get the shivers.  I may give the Macro Cell Lens Band a shot.

The Macro Cell Lens Band makes use of a rubber band and what looks to be a small magnifying glass, that attaches to your phone and gives you close up shots.  And here I thought rubber bands were only good for launching them at your co-workers.  The lens easily slips over the phone and is held in place with the rubber band and when not in use, just slip it over your wrist or the card it comes for easy storage, no need to carry big bags to carry your extra lenses.

Snowboarding season is still in effect and the guys over at Pirelli, Italian tire-maker, and Burton (snowboarding gurus) have teamed up for a little project. I wasn’t aware that a tire maker and a company that makes snowboarding gear would collaborate to make a limited edition snowboard. But then again, Pirelli does make some badass snow tires.

The project in question is the ‘Pirelli Pzero x Burton’ which will feature high performing Pirelli outsole built with Pirelli’s signature rubber compounds and a special tread pattern for optimum traction on the slopes. These snowboards are some of the lightest in Burton’s portfolio and will feature lightweight Burton Pirelli diode EST bindings which will provide superior comfort and performance for riders.

The iPad 3 (or iPad HD) hasn’t even been released yet and we’re already seeing accessories for it.  Since I’m an iPad owner now, I have started to take notice of what cool accessories are available and here we have a cover for the iPad 3 by DODOcase.

The cover/case is called DODOcase Spring Summer and it looks like a book, which is a great way to deter thieves since we know thieves don’t read (… tradition books, they’re into Kindles).  The iPad 3 covers come in

We’ve written quite a few posts on some very large and expensive watch safes made by Dottling.  Today we bring you another safe by Dottling, however, this one is very small and portable but still very expensive (I’m sure), the safe is called the Guardian Travel Safe and it can be used to store/carry watches and other small valuable items.

From the outside, the Dottling Guardian Travel Safe doesn’t even look like a safe; it looks more like an expensive thermos.  The exterior measures 13.8 inches (35 cm) in length and 5.3 inches (13.3 cm) in diameter and weighs

The Slate Tabletop Fireplace has been around for quite a few years but today is the first time I saw it, and I like it.  About a month ago, I wrote about the Portable Gel Fireplace (buy it here) and I commented on how much I liked its minimal design, well, the Slate Tabletop Fireplace might just be a little more appealing to men because of its log-shaped design, yet still having an elegant and modern look to it.
