I don’t know of a single geek that does not dream of owning a home theater. Unfortunately, for most of us, the cost and space requirement is more than a little off putting. Seating solutions can be a big part of your budget and a typical, dedicated home theater is hardly a space that you [...]

Ah, the old piggy bank. It was a great way to learn how to save your pennies when you were a kid, and there was always that satisfying smash to look forward to when you had finally saved up enough to buy that skateboard or whatever other high-priced item you wanted more than anything else [...]

I’m particularly fond of watches with a busy face, but the Astrodea collection from Citizen is kind of pushing the limits. The watch face has a 35° view of the heavens (as seen from the Northern Hemisphere) that rotates in real time and shows 1,109 stars and 169 cluster galaxies. It also includes other measurements [...]

Lego-Styled MP3 Player

Filed under fashion | No Comments

I don’t really go much for this Lego-styled stuff that is not actually Lego. This is largely due to the fact that Lego usually come along and make the same thing about a thousand times better. The BB5503 MP3 player will hit you for about $46. It includes a Lithium-ion battery, but there is no [...]

Filed under off topic | No Comments

The Urban Street Concept Bike from Cube belongs to the descriptively obvious school of product naming. The carbon fiber bicycle is yet another take on the folding bike theme, an increasingly popular niche (and if you don’t know why you’d need a folder, try living in a European apartment with no elevator and tiny rooms).

And you thought the Nellis solar energy system in Nevada was intimidating. Truth be told, that 14-megawatt project pales mightily in comparison to the one being dreamed up for Arizona, and even Cleantech’s 80-megawatt endeavor in California can only bow to the 280-megawatt Solana Generating Station. According to the Arizona Public Service Company, the facility [...]

faster CompactFlash format coming

Filed under it | No Comments

I love my latest digital camera because it takes CompactFlash memory, rather than SD. While that unfortunately meant that I was left with several useless SD cards, I was more than happy to shell out the extra cash for a much faster format. While CompactFlash is already the fastest flash memory that you can put [...]

D people love the tools afforded to them by today’s advance computers and software. They’re able to visualize products and test every nuance before manufacturing. Such is the case with the MORPHOGENESIS LOUNGE CHAIR and yes that’s all in caps because designer Timothy Schreiber wanted it that way.

We’ve seen our fair share of steampunk around these parts. The light saber, laptop, eye glasses and scanner are all the same—a device decked out in wood, copper, pipes and other industrial bits to be given a steampunk look. What makes this steampunk mouse different is that it was designed with more in [...]
