USB Wine At The USBWineStore.com
One of my favorite USB devices, the USB wine key allows you to download your favorite wines straight from the vineyard. The USBWineStore.com offers over 1200 different wines for you to choose from. I have managed to hook a straw to the spigot and use it as an IV drip to get through the work […]
Google Search With My Location Pizza Commercial
Goggles latest (and possibly longest) ad showing off Google Voice Search with My Location. The video is a full 10 minutes long but you only need about 30 seconds to really get the entire ad. If nothing else pizza sales should increase.
Awareness! The Headphone App
I haven't actually had the time to buy/use the Awareness! The Headphone App ($4.99) yet, but the idea is sound. The Awareness iPhone/iPod Touch App basically lets you listen to your music and ports in external sounds that exceed the level of regular background noise. For example a semi-truck about to run you over or […]
James Binnion Samurai Ring
Using the ancient style of Mokume Gane technique that was used for Samurai swords, James Binnion Metal Works has turned out a pretty sweet wedding band. I guess this makes the second wedding ring I might wear, the first being the Kinekt. "Mokume gane is…a metal working technique developed in Japan approximately three to four […]
Microsoft Internet Explorer 9
Microsoft used to own the browser world but they have seen better products take market share,from almost 100% down to 60%. Pretty sad for a browser that comes bundled with the operating system. Just shows you that people really had a desire to leave internet explorer in search of a better option. Maybe Microsoft will […]
Plastics To Avoid
I have been meaning to write about which plastics to avoid. Not entirely gadget related, but very important information. You know the plastics that are known to leak toxins such as 3 (Vinyl or PVC), 6 (Polystyrene), and 7 (Miscellaneous). What spurred this rant about "bad" plastics? I was recently having lunch with a friend […]
Haier Human Powered Washing Machine – About Time
At a recent electronics show Haier, a giant Chinese manufacturer, was showing off a human powered washing machine. The exercise bike has a lithium-ion battery that collects energy from pedal power and uses that energy to power the washing machine. Twenty minutes of good pedaling should give you one cold cycle wash without needing any […]
Amazing Video Of Cruise Ship Taking A Beating From Heavy Storm
The video (after the break) shows the inside of a cruise ship taking on some serious weather off the coast of New Zealand. You will see passengers and furniture dancing about. The boat is the Pacific Sun Cruise liner which was carrying 1,732 passengers and 671 crew members.
AAA Battery Powered Cell Phone
Olive, an Indian telecom company, has released a cell phone that can run off of a single AAA battery if the main rechargeable battery is dead. I like the idea, but wish the entire phone would run off of rechargeable AAA batteries. Why? Because I would like to have a few disposable phones and don't […]
