Head of the National Explosive … [Read more...] about Iraqi military invests in detectors that probably don’t work

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

Panasonic was flexing their muscles with a 3D capable television set, and other companies were proud of their 3D video games. Just so you know, the 3D that uses the dark glasses and not the red and blue ones can't be made for just any television. No, you need … [Read more...] about 3M is getting into the 3D Groove with latest development

This was a video that I made with a friend of mine a while ago. The camera I used wasn't really the best on the market, and the sound quality is poor. I'll let you judge on whether or not the humor is bad. … [Read more...] about For those who are willing to laugh at Halloween: Vampire Wuss

This baseball cap that you see in the picture is synced … [Read more...] about SmartCap: The life it saves can be a driver

Some of you remember when I wrote that piece on Augmented Reality. It's that little technology that allows you to put an image in front of a camera (usually a webcam) and cause another, usually three-dimensional image, to appear on the display. Right now, it is being used for advertisements, trading cards, and even on bags of Doritos. It would appear that someone has … [Read more...] about Augmented Reality is now in your food

The other day, my wife and I were watching the premiere of Trauma. There was a guy behind the wheel texting to someone. Considering the amount of press that texting while driving has been getting lately, I knew what was next. Sure enough, there was an accident caused by this careless man.

For those of you who don't know, 1984 by George Orwell was removed from Amazon Kindle's everywhere a few months ago, without any explanation. Yes, the company did apologize and go through all the motions necessary for a recall. I'm still laughing at the irony. For those of you who have never read 1984, you should know it is one of the finest novels ever written. It … [Read more...] about The Kindle, 1984, and the kid that sued
