John Mahoney — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 20:00:00 EDT

Tonight is the season 2 finale of Mad Men. Will Don continue to revel in the shirtless, poolside-martini-sipping, Lolita-tinged free love of euro-riche California? Return to Betty's arms back home in the 'burbs? Or will everyone be stricken simultaneously with lung cancer and cirrhosis of the liver? While you wait to find out, dress your iPhone/iTouch or desktop in one of these beautiful vector illustrations by designer Dyna Moe—there's a new wallpaper for each episode of this season. Ah, when men wore hats. [Dyna Moe on Flickr]

TV/Flashlight Could Save Your Life

To plan for an emergency, you need to prioritize. What do you need if the power goes out? Well, a flashlight, obviously. What next? Oh Jesus, well I can't miss The Wire, so TV, definitely TV. Thankfully the lifesavers at Vector have combined the two most important items you need during an emergency into one TV/flashlight superdevice.

The whole thing can be juiced via crank if you run out of batteries in the middle of a Mary Tyler Moore marathon, and it also has boring stuff like AM/FM radio with auto storm alert. Only $40 for the peace of mind that comes with knowing you'll never miss your shows, no matter what happens. You hear that, terrorists? No matter what. –Adam Frucci

Vector Holder Charts My Imaginary Demise

Brian Lam — Mon, 16 Oct 2006 16:29:05 EDT

Gizmodo loves charts. This stuff holder from Artemy Lebedev, makers of the Optimus keyboard, looks like a chart of the gradually increasing diameter of my gut, from age 20-29, when you face its green side towards you. Flip it around to see the...

the red side of the chart, downward, as if it were mapping out my receding hair line, or sex drive.

Now I'm depressed. I need some junk food. –Brian Lam

The World's Most Realistic Vector Art

Jason Chen — Tue, 08 Aug 2006 16:30:55 EDT

These examples of celeb-inspired vector art really pushes the edge of was Adobe Illustrator can do. Made to imitate actual photographs, these vector art pictures really look, well, like photographs. The implications? Pretty soon we can all make our own posable, and nude, Angelina Jolie models. – Jason Chen

Suunto Vector Wrist Computer Hands-On

johnb — Mon, 13 Feb 2006 09:01:04 EST

So, here it goes A few weeks ago I bit the bullet and bought myself a Suunto
Vector. I bought it because my faithful Timex had died, I had some extra cash in my pocket, I've been going skiing a lot, I like to go camping, and I wanted a cool stylish watch that was jam packed with features like an altimeter, barometer, compass, etc. And in case you're wondering, it also tells the date/time.

Suunto Vector watch for 10% off [Amazon]

So, I've been wearing this all around the hospital, monitoring my altitude as I schlep from the ICU to the basement to the MICU, checking the barometric pressure of the bathrooms, predicting the weather from the 10th floor fire escape, as well as orienteering my way from the cafeteria to the cath lab using only compass points; all while wearing it while washing my hands religiously and while working out. My review- It's great, and I've gotta say, for a $200 watch, this thing has gotten more positive
feedback than the ostentatious solid gold Rolexes that those GI attending love to flaunt.

So give it a look, it's not exactly a wrist-top EKG like their new new t6, but it's a damn cool watch with a whole lot of bang for the buck!
