It really is the simplest of an idea that can change the world. In case you don't know what peanut butter knuckles are, just think about the last time that you tried to get some peanut butter from the bottom of a near-empty peanut butter jar. I don't know who has created this Jar-with-a-Twist, but they certainly are solving a problem. This device allows the user to twist … [Read more...] about Jar-with-a-Twist solves peanut-butter knuckles and pretty much everything else

Transparent Stairway gives a great view of the Alps
I mentioned when I reviewed the Lowerpro how I felt a little vertigo when visiting Arches National Park, and I am wondering how I would feel if I visited this glass platform at Austria's Dachstein glacier. I have seen these glass floored platforms below, and I suppose the Greatest American Hero theme always comes to mind. You know, "believe it or not, I'm walking on air". … [Read more...] about Transparent Stairway gives a great view of the Alps
How much would you pay to be free from technology? How about $350.
It really is funny to see people shell out hundred of technology for tech that they may not even need, but this Camp Grounded requires you to pay $350 to get rid of technology for the duration of your stay. You heard me right, Camp Grounded wants you to pay for no Wi-Fi, and smartphones are not allowed. Believe it or not, it is sold-out. I still can't get over how funny … [Read more...] about How much would you pay to be free from technology? How about $350.

Be careful where you leave your DNA, as it could become art
I think we all have seen episodes of CSI where someone's DNA can leave a vital clue that cracks a case, and we all know that our DNA tech isn't nearly that efficient. I'm not certain that I am looking forward to the day when we can just take a piece of gum, fork, or anything else and come up with a perfect DNA replica. That sounds a little like Minority Report justice, but an … [Read more...] about Be careful where you leave your DNA, as it could become art

The Decatxt from In10did
I have always been a supporter of finding new ways to type. After all, we have been typing with QWERTY keyboards for about a century and a half. Even the order of the keys is based upon them jamming on old typewriters, something that we don't have to worry about anymore. Of course, I have no intention of re-learning how to type with an ABC keyboard. However, I might be … [Read more...] about The Decatxt from In10did

Let's talk about how … [Read more...] about Paytouch works by hand, without the wallet
Microsoft also working on a Smart Watch, and the Xbox team is handling it!
I think we all know that smart watches are probably going to be a new way of getting our notifications, and we have reported on the SmartFitty watch and how Apple is working on something. I have recently learned that Microsoft is under development of its own smart watch. To add fire to this rumor, Microsoft has apparently ordered many 1.5 inch displays.

Cesar Chavez on Google, and apparently some Christians are upset
I'm sure that you are familiar with Google, and how they often put some interesting graphic to commemorate a historic anniversary or something. Apparently, some Christians got pretty upset when Cesar Chavez showed up on Google instead of something Easter related. I believe that Glenn Beck was one of them, but I don't consider Glenn Beck an official spokesperson for … [Read more...] about Cesar Chavez on Google, and apparently some Christians are upset
