Soban Photo Keychain

The Soban Photo Keychain is a replacement for storing wallet-sized pictures of your kids printed out on—gasp—paper. Instead, the Soban has 128mb of memory storing up to 7,000 (really tiny) photos.

LED Keychain…With Knife Attached

Steampunk Guitar Version 2: The Nautilus

Jeff from Thunder Eagle really outdid himself this time with this brand new home-made Steampunk Guitar. You may have seen (and ogled) his first creation here back in April, but this Nautilus looks amazing as well. https://gizmodo.com/steampunk-guitar-plays-like-a-gibson-256103 As the name implies, it’s more of a sea-punk than a steam punk.
