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

I'll start with this one. Need a "swear jar" in your home. You might want to get this Ceramic Swear Bank. Ever had to sleep at an airport, someone is developing some concept technology that is aptly named the Sleep Box. Like that Cars movie? How would you like to have one of those Cars cars let you know when you have email. Exactly the focus of the Disney/Pixar … [Read more...] about Tech News of the Day, Tuesday, November 10
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
