Sure a flash drive is great for storing billions of bits of information, but you just have no reason to put your mouth on it. UNTIL NOW!!!

FlashHarp is a 4G playable drive that comes pre-loaded with smiles and a 10-minute Quicktime harmonica lesson. Only a terrorist wouldn’t want this.

Available for $59.95 at BackyardBrand on Etsy .

See the bonus video!

An Important Lesson In Branding

by Chris Hardwick on November 3, 2009

The most vital element of product development is “deliver what you promise.” This young woman has nailed that. You may also notice her deft implementation of core UNIX philosophy: “Do one thing and do it WELL.” I must track her down and make her my new head of marketing.

Ringtone, perhaps?

These wonderful geeks have been delighting by breaking creative molds for a decade and a half. I less than three them a lot. This is, without a doubt, the best ad for an album EVER.

Radiohead LIVE:
“These Are My Twisted Words”

by Chris Hardwick on November 2, 2009

This awesomeness was shot in Prague, Czech Republic on August 23rd, 2009. I saw this light tube forest set when they played last summer in San Diego and it really is stunning in person. Also digging shaggy Thom. He’s like a young old Nick Nolte.

Thanks to Gerry Duggan for hipping me to this. Pass it on! Radiohead wants you to because they are smart.

Jack Torrance Novel Posthumously Released

by Chris Hardwick on November 2, 2009

Novelist Jack Torrance, whose mysterious death outside the infamous Overlook Hotel in 1980 sent shockwaves through the writer/caretaker community, apparently had been working on a book when he died. His surviving widow, Wendy Torrance-Thnettlebaum, whom neighbors describe as “shrill and blubbery,” was not available for whiny comment.

Tune in to Chelsea Lately tonight at 11p ET on E! to get the explanation to this photo (also to see me, Whitney Cummings & Brad Wollack).  There may be insults hurled at those more famous than ourselves.

DROID1 Sleek, snazzy form also has great swiping on glass face. When you first launch, a robot-y voice blurps “DROID” like a classic 80s robot that answers everything with its own name. On an unrelated note, a woven basket is probably not the best place to keep a guitar.
