And if you don’t celebrate Christmas than Happy Holidays!
This holiday season I received a nice spread of gifts from gift cards to pj’s, but my favorite gift was a dream.
Like any good web-reader, as soon as the festivities were over I ran downstairs to check on a few holiday webcomics.
AppleGeeks gave us a romp [...]
Merry Christmas!
Forget about the apple
Or does that even work with dentists? No matter, because I have found the new, true, love of my life.
Isn’t she a beauty?The TiFinity Toothbrush is made of a new material in the home dentistry world, Titanium. And while that might sound like dragging a zester around your mouth, her inventors guarantee that not only will the metal bristles be just as soft as nylon, but the brush as a wholo will last [...]
Same Old Rant
Earlier I posted about the problem America seems to have with allowing pointless inventions to gain popularity. In other countries, these near-useless items or Chindogu as the Japanese call them, are just for the friends and family of those who make them. Here however, we’ve turned them into a get rich quick scheme.
I present for your inspection, the Marmot IGlove Liner
The IGlove’s purpose is to allow easy navigation of the Ipod scrol wheel
without having to remove ones gloves in the dead of winter.
The key is a special polymer attached to the thumb and forefinger of each [...]
In a New York Minute
That is as long as yu have a decent connection. A blog writen on Heather’s Innovation and New Technologies Blog tells a tragic tale of a teen arrested for ’stealing’ virtual furniture. The culprit won’t be the last, as Second Life welcomes CSI:NY into its ranks.
The idea spawned from an episode set in the world of Second Life itself.
The game that came after allows Second Lifers the chance to solve
mysteries with the avatars of the show characters.
With any luck, all of Second Life will be full of slueths as the people use thier virtual forensics kits to solve [...]
Anonimity takes the Backseat.
And behind reinforced glass no less. Eternal Sunshine of the Innovative Mind author wrote of one of the strangest investigation I’ve ever heard of. In it, the culprit of a hate crime was apprehended using Facebook as a means for a line up.
Stories like these are becoming more frequent which lead me to
think that there should be a new brand of law enforcement. Jobs in many areas are embracing the vast influence the internet. Most
appropriately, [...]
You Remember those potato guns….
They were so much fun. Until someone got hurt.
Seriously though, take any tube and add a fuse and propellant and you’ve
got an afternoon of fun.
Staying true to the adage of ’boys and their toys’, an Australian based
company has developed a system known as
Metal Storm
Here’s how it works
Special, ellectronicall fired bullets are fired via computer at speeds of up to 60,000 bullets a minute.
These systems will without a doubt revolutionize the way many things, military and not, are done.
They can be fired non lethally by using rubber bullets for prison riots,
or they can make sure there are no unwanted presences in the sky.
Race to the Finish
Autobons and Decepticons
Alliance and the Horde
Mac’s and PC’s.
Like it or not, there will always be some faction seeking to rise above another.
However, and I can’t be all fire and brimstone when it comes to the culture, they’re doing great this time of year and the launch of the Iphone
and the Ipod Touch has quite a bit of people clamoring for one.
The next thing they have in mind appears to be a re-envisioning of the Apple Newton.
According to patent photos filed by Apple, it looks to be a touch enabled tablet computer. [...]
Cordless is as Cordless does.
Jordan Wayne Lee from the blog of the same name posted this article of Microsoft’s Surface computer. While the system will only reach hotels and casinos by the end of Spring 2008, there is an alternative for those who don’t like to wait.
Called Eye-Fi, what we have is an SD memory card that enables [...]
