Hey Guys!

Oh did you think we meant that TI?  No sorry he’s not going anywhere anytime soon.  We are talking about a better TI than the rapper.  We are talking about the TI-84 Plus Graphing Calculator.  We knew it had been a long while since  our last giveaway and so did Texas Instruments.   Our pals over at TI decided to hit us up with an awesome back to school giveaway.  That’s right we are going to be giving away 2 TI84 Plus Calculators for your back to school needs courtesy of Texas Instruments so get ready to calculate to your hearts content.

Here’s a little bit about these powerful additions to your backpack.  The speed is a great improvement over the 83-Plus. The TI-84 Plus comes loaded with 11 Apps that will make things even more convenient, such as a Probability Simulator and Cabri Jr., a great geometry app.  The student looking to upgrade from the TI-83 Plus will find comfort in the fact that the TI-84 Plus is 2.5x faster and has 3x the memory than the TI-83 Plus.

The TI-84 Plus is also extremely easy to hook up to your computer to transfer new Apps and updates to it using the USB port and the included USB cable. Now when was the last time you were able to plug up your calculator to your computer?  For me that would be a never.  The big brain in your family is really going to be happy with this newest addition to the TI family line up.

So the details to the giveaway are simple:

Tweet it or re-tweet it.  The more you tweet the more chances you have to win.  That’s all you have to do.

BJ & TI are back!  Back to school that is.  Get on on this giveaway and go back to school with TI http://bit.ly/19f8VI LabMonkey.

Have Fun Guys and the winners will be posted!

Hello humans. It’s been a couple of weeks since my last update here as I have been reviewing some upcoming products. BJ has had some trouble getting in touch with some of the past winners. Well I did get the week five member and their new Gelaskin is on the way to Malaysia. So that leaves the unclaimed week six prize up for grabs, and you know what that means don’t you? It means this weeks winner will get the week seven giveaway and the week six Gelaskin as well. so lets get on with it.

This weeks Gelaskin’s giveaway is Feul. Does she look like a Suicide Girl to you? This inspiring pin-up art is beautiful and is sure to dress up your iPhone, but be warned this artist is a little more on the risky side.

In 2003 Gianluca started to redevelop the pin up genre in a more modern style. Motivated by the enthusiasm for his Modern Pin up, this became an ongoing project. In 2006 Gianluca was commissioned to create the calendar for Suicide Girls of Los Angeles.

Check out the Gelaskins site for more information about the artist and his work. Just click on the link above in the picture.

Wow it’s already week six for the giveaway! I can’t believe how quickly it’s gone.  Well the GelaSkins giveaway for this week is Robo.

Here’s a little information about the artist you guys may find interesting:

Nathan T. Ota always found himself drawing pictures over doing his homework by copying various cartoons, comic books, photographs and old punk rock flyers. Nathan’s first influences started from looking at his older brother’s Frank Frazetta calendars and Vampirella comics. His mother, also an artist, and Father encouraged and supported his love for art at an early age.

Check out his website:

Update – due to the contest starting late last week and my travels the GelaSkins giveaway this week has been extended until Wed 3/26/08 Midnight so get those comments posted!  At that time I’ll post the New GelaSkins giveaway for the week and the remaining giveaways will be from Wed to Wed.

This weeks GelaSkin’s give away is Rough Night Out. It’s by artist Bob Dob Born and raised in Hermosa Beach, California, Bob Dob cultivated a taste for adolescent unrest early on, expressing his talent through music, playing guitar in a punk band named Lunacy. Transmutation from music to art was a natural progression for him.

We are sure you guys are going to love this one. It was a hard one to giveaway since I may be getting an iPhone. This should go over well with realese Super Smash Brothers Brawl last week. Man I love this skin! The picture above is for the iPod but the GelaSkin is for the iPhone. I would have included the picture I took but the picture above gives a better representation of the artist work.

The winner this week is alexa marie.   Congrats!  Once you get it let us know how you like it.
