Teenager Builds Ultra-Powerful Death Ray
Dang, the teenagers of today are so different than when I was younger. When I was a teenager, I used to ride my moped to Burger King (aka the BK Lounge) to meet up with my friends. Today's teenagers are first generation digital natives, which means they are doing much more exciting things than han ...
Life: The Ultimate Instruction Manual For Men
When I was growing up, my dad took good care of us. He always made sure we had food on the table and clothes on our back. I bet it is hard for some fathers out there to juggle making sure they earn a good living to provide for their families and taking care of the house to make sure everything is ...
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 ...
Beer Hour: The Portable Personal Beer Dispenser
In all honesty, I have never been a huge beer drinker and when I do drink beer, it's never in large quantities either. Some people kick back when they get home and open a beer. They sit down and just enjoy that another day's worth of work is all over. It's something mythical to me since I don't s ...
World’s Most Kick Ass Insert Coin Animation With Real Coins
I remember playing the arcade games, especially the pinball machines, in the arcade halls when I was younger. Unfortunately, most of them were closed and shut down long ago. The magic of entering a hall full of 8-bit music and people cheering for each other is what I miss the most, and I have no i ...
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 ...
Most Children Learn Computer Skills Before Life Skills
This is very interesting to me. It hits home because when I saw my sister and her three-year-old son a month ago, I noticed something that seemed a little strange to me. He was constantly playing games on her iPhone. He was walking around the house holding it, and he wouldn't let anyone else have ...
Star Wars Interior Design: R2-D2 Wood Burner For The Cold
Now when there is snow in pretty much all the odd places in the world, it's become a challenge for many people to keep themselves warm and fuzzy. Most of the time it's just an extra shirt, a new jacket or some hot beverages to drink. But as a geek, it becomes an even bigger challenge since you pro ...
Bleeding Heart Cake: Perfect Gift Idea For Your Valentine
With Valentine's Day coming up in a short yet distant while, you have probably started thinking about what in the world you could give your loved one to show him or her that you really do want to share your heart in every way possible. Presents and gifts are at the highest place on the to-get list ...
The Most Important Twitter Rule of 2011
Except for the eight days when I had a serious case of Social Media Burnout, I've been on Twitter every day since March of 2009. There are some very interesting observations I've made recently. If you have been on Twitter a long time too, I know you will relate to what I'm going to describe.
Ba ...
Voiceprint: Create A Picture Of Your Voice
Have you ever thought about what the visual representation of your voice looks like? What would that sound look like if it were painted on a canvas? A lot of us save special audio clips. When we play them, they give us a certain feeling inside. Sound is very powerful. It's similar to when we li ...
Office Kitchen Politics: Does This Happen At Your Office?
The other day I wrote an article about laziness in the workplace. It was really funny to see how many people in Corporate America spend their time during the day. Since I don't work in a traditional office, the whole thing made me giggle. I think it's ridiculous that some people can't access Twit ...
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 ...
Old Tupperware Bowls Become New Retro Kitchen Lamps
Do you remember back in the old days when people used to make Jello molds? My mother used to make those when we were young. She would put canned fruit inside them and whipped cream on top. Another thing my mother used to do is go to Tupperware parties. Does anyone still do that these days? I ha ...
Alternative Pottery: Books, Bags and What Have You
Interior design today is pretty much futuristic, and the angles are getting weirder with every day that goes by. What looked like a normal couch yesterday, now looks a lot like something taken from a spaceship. Kitchenware, beds and other furniture looks like they are the brain children of some tr ...
