I remember flipping through the Sharper Image catalog in the 80’s and being amazed at the wide array of gadgets on offer. Digital answering machines! Dual cassette decks! Pagers! It didn’t get much cooler than that.
Yes, we’ve come a long way since the VHS tape rewinder… but I still find myself checking out what the new Sharper Image is selling these days.

This is awesome. Instant photos from your phone! Not that I ever print pictures anymore, but damn it… with that gadget I could if I wanted to.

I already have a vinyl to MP3 converter, but now it’s possible to transfer all my old mixed tapes from the 80’s? Count me in.

Okay, it’s true… I don’t play golf. But I also never like to be far from an ice cold margarita so this is totally going on my Christmas list.

Not a fan of gadgets. They break. I fret. It’s a match made in hell.

By the time they break? There will already be a new gadget to replace it. No worries!

The cassette to Mp3 gadget is a gift any 80’s rocker could use.

Sharper Image was always on the cutting edge of cool new stuff.
I still try to print photos on occasion (Shutterfly) because I can’t imagine my great-grandchildren looking through my old and outdated smartphone to see our family history.

I’ve always loved photos and flipping through albums. Our house is full of them, though I admit I did give it up ten years ago.

The drink dispenser in a driver isn’t even inspired. Every alcoholic who plays golfs in a movie or TV show in the past 50 years has had one of those as a gag…

I think the ratio of gadgets that really work and improve my life and gadgets that go into a junk drawer is currently about 1:4

Do I love gadgets? Let me put it this way: I worked at Brookstone for two years in college. I only left to take a job at Sharper Image.
‘Nuff said.
And I really want that smartphone photo printer now!

I live on a golf course but don’t golf. Now, though, I’m seriously considering taking it up… all for that dispenser.
