Rotating guitar stand holds three guitars, banjos, bass, etc… and has guitar locks at the top to prevent them from sliding out and smacking the ground like a regular non fancy stand permits. Very, very nice. While on the website, be sure to have a look around at other things for sale, as well as Drew Brophy’s artwork. He’s known for painting killer surf boards, also has instructional dvds for painting with paint markers and said paint markers for sale on his site. Great stuff. Rotating Guitar Stand, $275.95 from Drew Brophy

The AirPiano is an innovative musical interface which allows playing and controlling software instruments simply by moving hands in the air. Above the AirPiano is a virtual matrix of keys and faders, each assigned with MIDI messages and ready to be triggered. The length of a triggered note is equivalent to the time a hand is placed on the corresponding virtual key. This is also confirmed by LED feedback. The AirPiano Software allows easy setup, loading/saving presets and transposing notes.

Lil Guppie Multi-tool

Monday, June 9th, 2008

In most situations a guppy isn’t going to help you get a whole lot accomplished. Sure, they’re cute and small, but generally don’t do very much other than look cute and small. The Lil Guppie Multi-tool, however, is a fish of a different kind. Easy to carry, packed with tools, great for making light repairs - not to mention that it’s cute and small, too. The adjustable wrench on the Lil Guppie Multi-tool opens to 10 mm so it can be used for light repairs and assembly jobs. The carabiner is great for attaching to a D-ring, belt loop or backpack. The high-carbon stainless steel blade has a razor sharp edge and can be opened or closed with one hand. The tail of the Guppie is a flat blade screwdriver that can handle smaller size screws in a pinch and the base of the jaw is a Phillips screwdriver. The curved fin is a built-in bottle opener. The Guppie also comes with a detachable stainless steel pocket clip that makes a great money clip.
