Porta Party Mixes iPod and Bathroom With No Stinkiness

In the outside world, we all know the iPod can take a one-man dance party from 0-60 in under 3 songs. But ever wonder what it's like on the inside? The Porta Party adopts its shape from the similarly named Porta Potty, but has the skin of an iPod. Insidethe Porta Party is an iPod dock and disco ball that will also take the one man party from 0-60 in under 3 songs — if you provide the tunes. And when you're finished inhabiting the iPod, it's kind enough NOT to spit you out on the New Jersey Turnpike. [Nick Rodrigues via LAist via Gadget Lab]

Helio and Buzzd Make Location-based Yelp-like Service For Your Phone

Yelp is great, but what if you could find restaurants and clubs based on where you are right now? Thanks to Helio phones' GPS service and the Buzzd software, you can. It works as a built-in app on your Helio phone (the two companies partnered up today) and will allow you to even message your friends to update them on where you're going right from the service. There's even real-time activity finding to figure out what's going on right now, something we're sure Jack Bauer would appreciate if he weren't so busy shooting up terrorists. [Buzzd]

CES is in full swing. But if today's new Mac Pro and Xserve announcements are the news Apple can spare from the keynote, Macworld is going to be huge. To celebrate, I'd like to buy you a beer if you're going to the show. Just come on over to this party Giz and Ars are co-sponsoring.

Where: Harlot at 46 Minna St, San Francisco, CA
When: 8 p.m. Pacific Time
I think pals like FSJ, Leander from Cult of Mac, some other Wired pals, and Arn from Macrumors are planning to stop by too. More soon.

Heated Nacho Tray

May 2, only a few more days until the festivities begin. Cinco de Mayo is the reason for the festivities I'm speaking of. Even though I am only half Hispanic, Cinco de Mayo is the perfect excuse to eat nachos, sit outside and get drunk on Modelo, Tecate and Corona. This heated nacho tray is the perfect accessory for that Cinco de Mayo party. It will keep the dip nice and toasty. It is powered with the good 'ole fashion wall outlet, but this device is just begging for a USB mod. $19. More »

HTC 3125 Launch Party in New York: Enjoy the Decadence


Loyal Gizmodo readers will know that Cingular launched the 3125 (also known as the "Star Trek phone") last week. What readers might not know is that Cingular and HTC threw quite a little fiesta in the cellphone's honor. Watch as over-worked and under-appreciated tech journalists, um, party down and generally make fools of themselves. Yes, all this for the launch of a cellphone. America, the beautiful. Oh, and mind the sailor talk at the end. Journos have bad manners.
