It's almost impossible for me not to pimp out nifty little Back to the Future-related gadgets, seeing as my first film-related love was the original Back to the Future. Some people think I'm nuts when I say this, but if someone forced me at gunpoint to name my favorite movie of all time, I might just have to go with BTTF -- it means that much to me. Which is why I'm here to tell you about this cool new toy (us guys love our toys) over at Entertainment Earth. It's a toy DeLorean based on the one featured in Back to the Future II -- complete with electronic lights and sounds, gull-wing doors that swing open and wheels that pop out for flight mode. Sadly no Doc or Marty figures come with the car, which is a limited edition that measures 14 inches long; 1:18 scale.
The car arrives in August 2009, and they're currently going for $34.99 over at the Entertainment Earth website. In my opinion, it's the perfect gift for that Back to the Future geek in your family (there's always one), and for you movie buffs I can't think of a better gadget to rest on your desk at home. Whaddya think?

Buy This: Wrap 920AV Video Eyewear
Filed under: Fandom », Tech Stuff », Home Entertainment »
I swear, sometimes it feels like folks are getting all their inspiration from Back to the Future II. Earlier this week, Vuzix introduced a new pair of video eyewear that kinda looks like the glasses worn by the future McFly kids in BTTFII. These, however, aren't for talking on the phone -- instead, you'll be able to watch video that provides an effect as if you're looking at a 60-inch monitor from nine feet away. Not only that, but apparently you'll still be able to see out of the glasses while watching the video (hello car accidents) ... and look uber stylish the entire time!
No word on pricing or what the video resolution is (two very important factors, in my opinion), but The Wrap 920AV will be compatible with iPod, iPhone, Portable DVD Players, Media Players, Digital Cameras, Camcorders, Cellular phones with video out, Video Game Systems, PCs and Laptops with S-Video. Is has a 30 degree field of view, noise-canceling earphones, weighs less than three ounces and works on 2 AA batteries for six hours. Optional accessories include a stereo camera pair and a clip-on, six degrees of freedom head tracking system.
So whaddya think? You buying one?
