Future Retro Potty Pod House

Someone please tell me when will the fad for pseudo-futuristic retro organic idiocy go away?! Feast your eyes on this sample of architectural masturbation by Victor Vetterlein, cleverly titled Reboot (that’s what you do after too many beers or reading about this utopian tripe). Yes it’s another fully autonomous organically…

Eye Pod – Glory Hole?!

  Nope its not a new Apple product for all you Church of Mac people, and it’s not a cosmopolitan-erudite reference about the London Eye attraction. In the action packed Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, the “Eye Pod” is a walk-in box with a single glass lens that projects an upside down…

ENGOBI Caffeinated Chips – Review

Hello, I am one of the test monkeys and occasional writers at GadgetKing. I was given a pack of “cinnamon” ENGOBI and a pack of “lemon” ENGOBI and was told to try some and pass some around to my cohorts. My overall first impression is someone sprinkled a bunch of…

Pimp Out Your Antenna

In a money saving, anti-establishment move, all the geek’s in my neighborhood are giving Comcast the middle finger and putting up antennas to get uncompressed, and unbastardized by Comcast, high def video. That’s right folks – broadcast TV is often the best quality high-def signal available. Remember the old school…

Fashionable To Playa Hate On Vista SP1 – NOT…

I am really tired of all the cheesy bandwagon, me-too playa haters of Microsoft’s Windows Vista. Most of the time its coming from the Linux geek’s, the Mac geek’s or the dewd-my-overclocked-486-runs-just-fine-under-2000ME geek’s… Sorry, as much as I like Mac it simply doesn’t run some of my business apps and…
