The PC Mod That Is Sexier Than A Mac
We all know that two of Apple's most famous catch phrases are "sexy" and "insanely great," which they pretty much attach to all their products. In some ways those words are true as well, and with all the sales they are raking in, it's hard to say the contrary.
However, there are of course modders ...
Star Wars LED Rubber Ducks: Sci-Fi Just Got Weird
Recently I found myself watching the Star Wars movie series starting from the very beginning. I started with the oldest movie, even though it's supposedly not the beginning of the whole saga. I did it solely because of the retro feel it has, and the effects that are still very impressive today. The ...
The World’s Largest Touchscreen
Holy batman, now that's a touchscreen! I'm going to tell you the size of this thing immediately because I know that's what you really want to know, right? It is 10 meters (32.8 feet) by 2.8 meters (9.2 feet). The screen uses 1,000 LEDs and 6 Optitrack cameras. The resolution is 4900 by 1700 pixe ...
The Geeky Etch-A-Sketch Computer
Martin over at NortHACKton gets the ultimate geek award this week for sure with his etch-a-sketch computer hybrid. According to his website, after seeing tons of computer controlled etch-a-sketches, he decided to create the opposite... an etch-a-sketch controlled computer.

This Invisible Chair Only Appears When You Do
This chair is like a bundle of geeky magic. It makes every chair in my house look completely boring. Not only is it invisible, but it also creates a black hole and it thumps like it has a heartbeat. It's like a fantasy piece of furniture that doesn't take up any space at all, or at least that's t ...
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 ...
The Portable Hard Drive Inspired By An Italian Racecar
Since I own an Apple certified consulting company in Atlanta, I work with hard drives all day long. For the most part, from a visual perspective, they are boring. I've never really thought about it before today, but there is so much opportunity there for a creative designer to do something really ...
Technology: The Next Generation Baby Monitor Is Here
Most people I know who have a baby also have a baby monitor. Here in this country, they've become a standard piece of equipment to have when welcoming a new baby home. I remember when my son was born ten years ago; a baby monitor consisted of a plastic box that sat on top of the dresser in the bab ...
Next Generation Traffic Lights Could Get Twisted
If you think that we'll see the boring traffic lights that sport the streets today for eternity, you probably need to reconsider. There is a kind of race going on now to find the next suitable design that will keep our streets safe from cars hitting pedestrians and cars hitting cars... you get the ...
Technology, Art & Fashion Collide: LED Eyelashes
I was sitting here wondering why I'm just now finding out about these insane little LED eyelashes when they've been out for a few years, but then I figured it out. It's because this is another one of those Japanese inventions that never quite made it over here to the States... yet.
You understand ...
The Fun Geek Girl Way To Monitor Your Heartbeat
In previous articles, I've claimed to have found the geekiest girl jewelry out there, but I take it all back. I think I've found something to top every other necklace, ring and bracelet I've written about before. The only thing I've seen that touches this is the interactive Bluetooth Phone Ring th ...
The Battlestar Galactica Toilet Paper Holder
If you are a geek, and if you have any sense of interior design at all, then you spend some time making sure that your surroundings match your personality. It's a lot of fun creating an inspiring geeky environment to live and work in, but it can also be draining since sometimes it's hard to find ju ...
Gesture Technology Teaches You About Nuclear Fusion
There is no longer any doubt that technology will become our most useful tool in schools when it comes to delivering knowledge and teaching us in a more up-to-date fashion. We already see a full integration of computers, and as applications and computers get even more powerful, the learning will no ...
LED Color Technology Detects Changes In Temperature!
I was in Cincinnati last November 9th - 12th, and the temperature of course was very different compared to what I am used to. I am used to warm tropical weather, and when my plane landed, and I got my first whiff of the Cincinnati air, my senses were shocked. It's a good thing I checked the weathe ...
iFlash: Adds An LED Flash To Your Old iPhone
Believe it or not, I am still messing around with my old iPhone. I have yet to get my butt out of yesterday's technology and claim the new. What has always bothered me is that when the first iPhone came out, pretty much every other cell phone had their own flash incorporated. Why Apple chose not ...
