Teddy Bear USB
Sunday, June 18th, 2006I just had to post this one from Endgadget! It’s just a [tag]USB[/tag] device, it’s not that cool of a gadget… but - you get to pull off teddy’s head!
Imagine the horror of a little kid as you mercilessly yank off fluffy teddy’s head and stick him into your USB port!
And the position that [...]
Citizen i:VIRT Bluetooth Watch
Tuesday, June 13th, 2006First there was a camera, a phone, a PDA and an MP3 player. Nowadays you can find all that was mentioned bundled into one device. Anyone who can afford one can walk around literally carrying his office in his pants. But you still glance at your trusty ol’ [tag]wrist watch[/tag] for the [...]

Forget saving up for Microsoft Excel, the Google Spreadsheets is free - and it is online - no downloads required!
The Google Spreadsheets saves your documents the instant you create one [...]
Hidden Cameras - Meet Spyfinder!
Tuesday, June 6th, 2006In this age of overloaded hormones, overzealous politicians and [tag]miniaturization[/tag] of technology, any Tom, Dick and Harry can easily get their hands on a [tag]miniature camera[/tag] and stick it where it don’t belong. Victims usually end up on the wrong end of a blackmail or on a dirty website.
Time to bring in the James [...]

The Babble is built to detect when it is that you are making phone calls. It will then emit a muffled version of your voice to mask your conversation - ensuring your [tag]privacy[/tag].
The neat thing [...]
Pix Visual LED
Thursday, May 25th, 2006Whatever this is useful for, I don’t really care (and I don’t really know either…). It’s kinda cool so that is all that matters!
The official Pix webpage calls it a ‘multi-functional sports light’ - whatever that means. But it looks cool, so it must do something cool, right? Let’s see…
There are 177 [...]
Logitech Harmony 880 Remote Control
Thursday, May 18th, 2006I have too many remote controls. And then I have kids. Not a very good combination. One remote usually ends up in weird places and the other is lunch. What I need is one universal remote control to operate all my AV stuff. At least managing one [tag]remote control[/tag] is easier - at least I [...]
Powers of 2 BCD Clock
Sunday, May 7th, 2006Time to tell [tag]time[/tag] differently. The usual big hand, small hand, seconds hand [tag]clock[/tag] or the LCD something-or-other display clocks are getting a bit dull at look at. They are still effective at telling time but I want something different.
Then I found this: the powers of 2 [tag]BCD clock[/tag]. When I was in school, BCD [...]
Uber Orbs
Saturday, December 3rd, 2005What do you do when you have a pair of oblong-ish cylinderical-ish [tag]super magnets[/tag]? Pretty much anything I would say - just don’t park it next to your hard drive…
I have read that these magnets will still attract each other through a 1-inch thick wooden barrier! People say that you can feel the magnetic attraction [...]
