Bullets In A Cool Sealed Sardine Can

I never thought I would be writing about bullets… but these are kinda neat.  I mean, I have a decent stock pile of ammunition “just in case” things get weird.  I keep my bullets stored in a large box, but it definitely isn’t air tight.  I always wonder how long…

Another “Dope” iPhone Gimmick App

Here is an odd dichotomy – using your iPhone as a ballistics computer to get quick shooting solutions *boggle*… I guess in addition to letting you shoot the shit, iPhone now lets you really shoot the shit! When I think of a typical iPhone user, I think of some left…

Aptera – Letter To Customers Who Have Made Deposit

New car maker, same old problems.  Aptera, the folks hoping to come out with an electric and hybrid model car in 2008 have been struggling to post anything too concrete.  I am a concerned customer (I have already placed a deposit) who would like to see Aptera succeed, but some…

Solar Keychain Flashlight

Not the most earth shattering gadget in the world… but I love mine.  For only $4.25 (perfect gift item) you can get a bright 3 LED solar keychain.  The keychain is pretty small (2.05 in x 1.34 in x 0.35 in) with a simple design – a solar panel on…

Floppy Disc CD Sleeve

I don’t know if I’m quite ready to sacrifice my boxes of Commodore 64 floppies just yet (I wonder what their shelf life is anyways) but re-using them as CD sleeves seems about as useful a way to recycle them as any. Designer Adam Faja originally came up with the…

Super Bright Projector – The Sanyo PCL-XF71

The Sanyo PCL-XF71 projector claims to be the brightest projector in its category at 10,000 lumens.  Too bad the resolution is below 720P, coming in at 1024×768.  The contrast ratio is a decent 3000:1, which will keep you from having to close every curtain in your house to watch TV.…
