Yes, there are a lot of MP3 players out there, and you don't have to buy the ones with an "i" in front of them. Take the Sandisk Sansa Clip Plus, for example. I had a chance to try out this tiny MP3 Player with a SD card slot, FM tuner, and voice recorder, and it is pretty decent. Check out my full review here. … [Read more...] about The Sansa Clip Plus MP3 Player from Sandisk

Project Natal not due to next year, but already priced at $80
I don't know if you have heard of Project Natal, but it debuted at the big E3 gaming convention at LA last year. It is a something that could easily kick the Wii's Motion-controlling butt out the door. There is a video of it after the jump, but it essentially is a motion sensor that can make the entire body one big controller. It also uses vocal recognition and scanning for … [Read more...] about Project Natal not due to next year, but already priced at $80
Portable Air Hockey
I like air hockey as much as the next guy, but I just don't have the space in my place for one of those gargantuan air hockey tables. I suppose that all the space is necessary for all the air to rush up and reduce the coefficient of friction, but all that really needs to slide is the puck. This Portable Air Hockey kit from urban outfitters is just the thing I am looking … [Read more...] about Portable Air Hockey
My Review of the Motorola Clutch i465
I've recently had the chance to try out three phones from Motorola, and the Clutch, or i465, is the first. This messaging phone has a full QWERTY keyboard and some other features, but it by no means, a smartphone. It isn't a dumb phone, either. Check out my full review here. … [Read more...] about My Review of the Motorola Clutch i465
Vanguard news show looks at the Porn Industry with a special report
I'm sure most of you know that I get most of my news from other sources. Some I look for, and some come to me. Yesterday, I received an email that informed me that the Vanguard news show was doing a news special called "Porn 2.0". I'm not certain how I got on this person's email recommendation list, but I decided to watch the news special. This would probably the first time … [Read more...] about Vanguard news show looks at the Porn Industry with a special report
Remote Controlled Bowling Ball
Remember how Kip had the bumpers on when he was bowling in Napoleon Dynamite? If he had this remote controlled bowling ball from 900 Global, then he wouldn't have needed them. Yes, I'm certain that we all have wanted a remote control bowling ball, but not because we wanted to cheat. No, this is for the good of science. I'm actually surprised that someone could create a … [Read more...] about Remote Controlled Bowling Ball
My Review of the new V Series on ABC
The show V finally got around to starting very late in the fall season, but it is worth the wait. I'm sure this shows my age, but I actually remember watching the original mini-series back in 1983. I was in sixth grade at the time, and back then, no one had ever attempted a science-fiction mini-series like it. The premise was an alien invasion, which has been done to … [Read more...] about My Review of the new V Series on ABC
Belkin Universal Media Reader and CushDesk
I had a chance to try out two of Belkin's products this weekend, the CushDesk and the Universal Media Reader. The Cushdesk is essentially a laptop rest for your lap, and it is about as technical as a crowbar. It says on the package Ease, Comfort, and Cool, and as Stan Lee would say: "'Nuff Said". As for the Universal Media Reader, I had a little bit of a harder time … [Read more...] about Belkin Universal Media Reader and CushDesk
Review of Sharper Image’s MP3 Wireless Speaker Fog Free Shower Mirror
I've been reviewing a lot of Sharper Image products of late, and several of them have been designed for the iPod or MP3 Player. This one is designed to be used in the bathroom. Actually, it comes in two parts. The dock for the MP3 player stays in one room and transmits to the mirror speaker in another room. The mirror is waterproof, so it keeps the user's MP3 Player safe. I … [Read more...] about Review of Sharper Image’s MP3 Wireless Speaker Fog Free Shower Mirror
The Sharper Image Entertainment Projector could be a low-budget home theater alternative
Take a gander at this home projector. It is a little different than most projectors that you see, because it isn't horrendously expensive. Granted, it is only set up to connect with a DVD player or video game system with it, but it is quite easy to use. It even has a nice remote control for volume, contrast, and color. Supposedly, it is designed to work from six feet … [Read more...] about The Sharper Image Entertainment Projector could be a low-budget home theater alternative
Griffin Technology’s Simplifi
Here is a gadget for all those who need an iPod dock, a card reader, and two extra USB ports by their computer. This is the Simpifi, and it is designed to simplify your life! Yes, that is a deliberately poor pun, but I had a chance to try it out, and it works really well. You can read an extended review here. … [Read more...] about Griffin Technology’s Simplifi
Iraqi military invests in detectors that probably don’t work
The ADE 651 is a device that the Iraqi military has invested a lot in. We're talking about a purchase order of 1,500 individual devices that cost about $16,500 to $60,000 each. These devices can detect bombs, guns, drugs, and human bodies from up to a kilometer away. Sound too good to be true? According to the U.S. military, it is! Head of the National Explosive … [Read more...] about Iraqi military invests in detectors that probably don’t work
ScribbleBot leaves the drawing to a robot
Every once in a while, I like to check out a site known as Yanko Design. Many tech blogs love it because it has all these cool concept gizmos that will probably never see the light of day. Case in point, the Scirbblebot. See this three legged thing with the pen down the middle. Well, if you were to draw with it, you can save that shape, which is in this case, a bird. … [Read more...] about ScribbleBot leaves the drawing to a robot
Slimtouch Bluetooth Keyboard from Adesso
This product here is designed for all those who want to a wireless keyboard, and they want it netbook-sized. The Adesso Slimtouch Bluetooth Keyboard is designed for such a thing, and it is quite portable. I got a chance to try it out, and it worked pretty well. Why not read more about here. … [Read more...] about Slimtouch Bluetooth Keyboard from Adesso
Gunnar Optiks Glasses for Gamers
It really isn't good to sit around our computers all day, but this is what most of our jobs demand of us. If nothing else, most of us just love to spend time online in all of our spare time. I'm sure that when you were growing up, you probably had some mother or father who would tell you that television isn't good for your eyes. They weren't lying, and you can be darn … [Read more...] about Gunnar Optiks Glasses for Gamers
