Mix Monsters: Cute Customized Geekdom For iPod Shuffle
Even though I have never owned or even tried one of those iPod Shuffle players from Apple, I still think they look neat. I am one of those retro geeks, and I still sport my first generation iPod which had the monochrome screen and the 8gb memory. It has served me well, and when fully charged, it k ...
Nanocade: The Lap Arcade Console For Hip ’80s Kids
It's rare nowadays to see something inspirational enough when it comes to gaming. Usually it's the same ole Wii, PSP or Xbox stuff that keeps flashing by as if it was a race to the finish line (which it somewhat is when you think about it). To capture the attention of the geek kids from back in th ...
The Pedal Powered Home: Post Apocalyptic Appliances
I sometimes wonder what would happen if all the theories about a solar flair being so strong that it actually wiped out all the technology on earth came true. What would become of our society, and how would we cope with the mess of a data powered world when there's no longer any electricity around ...
This Family Unplugged For 6 Months & Lived To Tell About it
Hmm... unplugging for six months? Are you kidding me? I can't even imagine unplugging for one week. I'm so connected to my online world that I sleep with my phone. I'm not the only one though, as it turns out, it's a habit that a lot of people have. Technology and our gadgets are no longer part of o ...
Alertron: The Bluetooth Babysitter For Your Phone
It's interesting to me that as the number of gadgets we get grows, so do the number of products that help us keep up with them. We depend on our technology for almost everything these days, and it's only natural that we would lose our gadgets from time to time. Last week I wrote about a remote con ...
App Gun: Turns Your iPhone Into A Toy Gun Simulator
Finally, we're starting to see some new technology in the accessories for the iPhone. It has long been just in the docks, cases and skins. It's like no one even cared to look beyond the horizon to see what could be done with the iPhone. The fact is, if you just have a bit of imagination, you can ...
For Moody Tweeps: The Emoticon Keyboard
It seems emoticons are taking over the world, doesn't it? I put one in almost every one of my tweets, and I just love them. It's crazy to me how much emotion a person can convey in a few symbols put together. It's like another language. I'm also noticing in so many social apps that I download i ...
HeadBanger: The First Sweatband Headphones Are Here
With a landslide of headphone designs at our disposal, we are always trying to find the ones that suit us the best. Sometimes they are too uncomfortable and sometimes they just don't punch that bass to the expected satisfaction that we're after. In the hunt for the very best, we seem to go through ...
HTC Tube: The New Smartphone Could Go Cartridge
With the news that said Apple is reworking the whole iPhone for the fifth incarnation of their flagship gadget, it's unclear what direction the industry will head next. The features we see on smartphones in the coming months will define the road ahead, and we'll be focusing heavily around those fea ...
LED Smiles: Turn Your Teeth Into a Mouthful of Technology
I remember last month when I wrote about these LED eyelashes because they were wild and wacky, and you know how much I love the stuff that makes you go, "Whaaaaaaat?" Well here we go again with another piece of the puzzle...
In the old days, when we wanted to coordinate what we were wearing, we ...
Holographics Now Tell The Time On Your Wrist Watch
It's quite evident that the time tellers on our wrists are getting ever more advanced. Technology allows us to create more elaborate and futuristic designs where the time is no longer told by the analog tellers, but by LED lights shooting off in different directions. At first, they appear to make ...
Skizee: Turns A Skier Into A Bionic Snowmobile
Not too long ago, I wrote about a new way to go off road and people seemed to like the idea of finding alternate machines to travel on through the terrain. Snowmobiling, skiing and biking are all pretty widespread, so to introduce new gadgets to play with is really a good idea. If you're used to b ...
Finally! A Remote Control That Finds Itself
How many times have you lost the remote control in your house? A lot, right? I see it on Twitter all the time. People send tweets that read something like, "If I were a remote control, where would I be?" Of course, it's always funny to read where they end up finding it. It's usually in a strang ...
HoloCube Is Seriously Going To Mess With Your Reality
Are you eager to try out a working hologram concept that will seriously mess with your sense of reality? It might be a while until that happens in real time, and until it seamlessly incorporates the viewable area in front of you without using screens or transparent sheets of glass. What I am talki ...
The Logo Reader Stores All Your Card Data In One Gadget
I know from experience that SD and flash cards can be quite a handful to carry around, and it's easy to lose them if you're not careful. Some people have fancy boxes and storage containers to house their cards, but for me, that's not exactly a necessity since I store most of my mobile data on my sm ...
