USBCell – USB Rechargeable Batteries
I love rechargeable batteries., So much better than having to constantly buy batteries only to throw them away after a short time., Not to mention, rechargeable batteries are better for our environment. With that said, I don’t typically get excited about rechargeable batteries unless maybe it is a solar charger or a smart charger., So […]
Viewsonic’s Tiny Square Computer – Mounts On Your Monitor
In an attempt to diversify it’s offerings (smart move) Viewsonic is entering the PC market (smart move?). The differentiator with Viewsonic’s computers, the LinkPC and the ViePC, are that they are small and attach to the back of any VESA-compatible monitor. Kina cool. The computers are powered by an Intel Atom 1.6GHz CPU, 1GB RAM, […]
Power Your Gadgets With Wind or Sun… Or Both

Palm Shows Off Their New iPhone Competitor The Pre
When I first read about the “pre” I thought that the sentence was cut off… or that the name was chopped by mistake. Like maybe the phone was called the “Palm Premier” or the “Palm Pretty”. Sooo, let me start off by saying I think the name is ummm stoopid. With that said… I am […]

Finally A Great Home-Theater-In-A-Box
Finally a great home theater in a box (HTIB). Why do I say finally? Because, typically, when you buy a pre-packaged home theater system… they pretty much suck. They usually look great… but sound like shite. Kinda like Jessica Simpson. Enough of the chitter chatter. Check out the Onkyo HT-S9100THX HTIB now only $799 (down […]

Lighted Garden Nozzle?
In getting ready for my New Years resolution… I am trying to be more positive… but like any good procrastinator… I am going to wait until after this post. This is another case of a bad invention that made it to far. Why in the hell would anyone want a lighted garden nozzle? Maybe as […]
NY Going To Experiment With LED Street Lamps
Looks like NYC is going to start tinkering with LED street lights. The lights are extremely long lasting (5X a normal bulb) and much more efficient than the current bulbs in use. The only real difference to NY’s approach, other than the fact that they are being wimps about the implementation, is that they spent […]
Dog-Powered Vehicle
Another way to keep the Americans fat… attach your dog to a scooter and let the pup do all of the work. The makers of this gadget are also attaching the dog slave strap to a trike, a skateboard, and a folding bicycle. My favorite picture is the huge Rottweiler attached to a tiny skateboard. […]
