For the gear head

- Audrey N. Carpio -

MANILA, Philippines - Spinning parts. Mechanical motions. Digital distractions and old-school analog rhythms — these gadgets, from simple plastic toys to the latest Jobs offering, are sure to satisfy the geek god in any of your friends. Just don’t expect to see much of them afterwards.

DJ Hero

After perfecting your Guitar Hero licks, it’s now time to drop some skills on the turntable and start from scratch. The “Euphoria” button sounds intriguing. Features mixes from Daft Punk, DJ Shadow and Jay-Z. Available at Datablitz

Kindle wireless reading device

As much as we love the tactile quality of books, e-readers are inevitable (and quite useful in times of local book blockades). Save trees and download books. Available at Amazon.com

Issey Miyake watch

Designed by industrial designer Tokujin Yoshioka, this sleek timepiece uses rotating discs instead of hands and numbers. Available at MYTYM Watch Hub

From the shower to the beach, you never have to part with your tunes again. This speaker features a hidden nook that securely docks your iPod or other MP3 player and keeps it dry. Available at Quirks, PowerPlant Mall, Rockwell
