30 Napkin Sketches Prove There's a Little Inventor in All of Us

Last week I asked you to send me napkin sketches of your brilliant gadget ideas. The sketches I received ranged from good ideas to bad ideas to flat-out horrible ideas. It's safe to say that no time machines or gadgets that'll make you attractive to ladies are suddenly feasible because you did a poor drawing of one on a napkin. Sorry! Hit the jump for the top three winners and check out the rest of the winners in our Gallery of Champions. More »

Show Us Your Wildest Gadget Dreams in Napkin Sketch Form

It's a classic story: someone comes up with a million dollar idea while sitting at a bar and sketches it out on a napkin to remember it. Later, they profit, and they have a cute story about where they came up with the idea. Well, now's your chance. For this week's photo contest, I'm looking for you to get creative without the aid of Photoshop. Instead, I want to see what kind of fantastical gadget napkin sketches you can come up with. What have you always wanted to see on the shelves of Best Buy? What's the craziest or most futuristic device you can imagine? Sketch it out on a napkin, take a picture or scan it in, and email it to contests@gizmodo.com with "napkin sketch" in the subject line. I'll post the best sketches in our Gallery of Champions next Tuesday. Get sketchin'!

Beauty and Drunkenness Captured with Cameraphones

I hope you all had a lovely Memorial Day weekend! I sure did. And now here we are, back to work the day after the long holiday weekend. A little fatter, a little more sunburned and maybe, just maybe, still a little drunk. God bless America! If you remember correctly, last week I asked people to send in cameraphone pictures of their summer adventures, both of the beautiful and funny varieties. We received both! So don't worry; while you might be stuck at a desk under harsh fluorescent lighting now, we'll help you pretend you're still outside, beer in one hand, hot dog in the other, enjoying summer as you should.

Giz Readers Love Rocking the Old Tech in Our Retro-Fantastic Gallery

Last week, I asked you to send me in photos of the oldest gear you still use on at least a semi-regular basis. It got a great response, and I really loved going through the entries. In the gallery below you'll find everything from 70+ year old radios to still-in-use LaserDisc and BetaMax players, clearly loved for many years by their proud owners. Clearly, not everything here is still in use (you still playing Ghostbusters II on your Tandy all that often?), but the nostalgia value alone makes a lot of these worth including. Walk with me, friends, down memory lane.

What's the Oldest Piece of Technology You Still Use Today?

I'm sure many of you have ancient, obsolete gadgets kicking around your home, maybe gathering dust in the back of a closet somewhere. You know, that old Mac Plus you didn't have the heart to throw away or an old cassette Walkman in the back of a junk drawer somewhere. But how many of you still use on a regular basis a gadget that the rest of the world considers to be an antique? Do you still do your taxes on an old Tandy? Will someone have to pry your Diamond Rio from your cold, dead hands? Send us a picture! We want to see your still-in-use devices from yesteryear. Send pictures to contests@gizmodo.com with the subject line of "old tech" and I'll post a gallery of the best and most amusing submissions next week.
