Man Crosses English Channel With Jetpack
Yves “Fusion Man” Rossy crossed the English Channel last Friday, going from England to France with a jetpack strapped to his back. Believe it or not, he is the first person to do this. 49 year old Rossy is a pilot who normally flies large airliners for a living. The jetpack was powered by […]
Party In A Box
Get your next party started right… with some cheap Chinese made disco bling. For only $29.95 you get a disco ball, a police style light, and a mirror ball. Might not be a bad deal for the kids.
30 Minute Charge = 30 Miles Of No Pedaling
I love it… I get 30 miles of pure non-pedaling laziness with only 30 minutes of charge time. Very nice. I can hear my BS story already… “I rode my bike to work 5 times this week… who’s the man!?” The 2009 Schwinn Tailwind eBike manages to hide the electronics pretty well so people will […]
4100 Lumen Flashlight – Starts Fires And Cooks Eggs
The folks at wicked lasers have a super cool, super bright flashlight dubbed “the torch”. The torch flashlight is 4100 lumens and some argue is just too bright. I would disagree with the “too bright” crowd if only the battery would last longer… 15 minutes of on time just isn’t enough. Oh… and the price […]
Mobile Fireplaces Catching On?
We have seen the portable fireplace before… and it seems the trend is catching on. The fireplaces burn denatured alcohol/ethanol and do not need any venting or chimney. I imagine you will smell some of the fuel, but they claim to be eco-friendly. The main advantage I see, as I can’t imagine you will be […]
BoomCooler – Not So Cool
The BoomCooler is, in my opinion, not so cool. The damn thing won’t even hold ice! Seems the modders were too interested in adding a stereo to a cooler… and forgot the original purpose of the new boom box. Also… a bit hard to justify the $899 price tag considering the parts are worth say, […]
T-Mobile G1 Android Phone – Video
Look out iPhone – here comes the G1 Android phone.
T-Mobile Shows Off G1 Android Phone
Looks like the Androids are starting to hit the market… T-Mobile unveiled the G1 Android phone. The G1 has a 480×320 HVGA screen, 3G, 3.1 megapixel camera, and a 5 hour (talk time) battery. Annoying bits – no video capture (wake up folks… iPhone is super guilty of this as well), no stereo bluetooth, requires […]
Tailgaters During Your Commute?
I sure could have used this on my commute this morning! A tailgaters worst nightmare. Video after the break.
Griffin AirCurve Dock Amplifies iPhone Without Power
We have seen passive iPod amplifiers/speakers in the past. And I get the allure of amplifying the tiny iPhone speaker while not wanting to use electricity. But until I get my sample of the AirCurve from Griffin (Griffin, this is your cue to get a sample in the mail for me ASAP :0) I will […]
