Good Gift Get! The Buddha Machine 2

This post is part of the Good Gift Get! Series. A collection of posts catering to the geek in your life you still need Christmas gift ideas for.

Back in 2005 FM3, a Chinese electronic group released an album inside of a cheap plastic box called The Buddha Machine. Basically it’s a collection of 2-3 second sounds that loop to form infinite ambient music.

Just recently the group has released the second incarnation of The Buddah Machine and it’s complete with nine new loops and a new pitch adjuster.

If you’re looking to surprise someone this Christmas with a really awesome and completely one of a kind gift, then the new Buddha Machine 2 is the one to get. My girlfriend and I received the first Buddha Machine last year and we’ve derived a lot of enjoyment from it.

The PGP is a PSP lookalike toy from Deal Extreme that shocks you when you hold it and can be yours to giveaway this Christmas for only $3.95. It’s a terrible copy of the PSP, but the fact that this was even made is almost enough to warrant the purchase.

Mixa is a really awesome concept that allows you to design a USB “mixtape” and it’s sleeve for about fourty U.S dollars. The USB cassette is one gig which could probably be more, but the idea is just too cool.
