Gangsta IT: Men's mag Sync created a work-up of some of the best gadgets for a man with a bling-oriented lifestyle. The featured goodies include the iPod spinner, a spinning dub for your ultra-white MP3 player, a Scarface Special Edition Router, a digital camera feature called Redman Eye, which rather than removing redeye, inserts Funk Doctor Spock into your photo, and the R. Kelly Golden Showerhead, which is very classy. Get busy for rizzy at http://tinyurl.com/9jrqb.

Crime pays: Elmore Leonard isn't just the hard-boiled-with-a-sense-of-humour best-selling author of crime novels. He's also the stylish superbad genius behind movies like Jackie Brown, Out Of Sight, Get Shorty and Be Cool. But did you know that he's also got his own blog and podcasts? Leonard's Web site features extensive info on what he's up to, book tours, cover art and tips for would-be writers. Forgive his reliance on Travolta at www.elmoreleonard.com.
