For some reason I’ve always wanted a Bacon Press. Will it work? How many slices of bacon fit under it? If they are so great, how come Williams-Sonoma never has one when I ask?
These mysteries have plagued me and perhaps it is memories of my bar-mitzvah that hold me back from buying one… has anyone [...]

Holy Fuck Yeahs Batman! I want one of these. I am not quite sure what I’d hook it to, here at the house, but it’d have to be something cool like arming the perimeter, motion-sensing intelligent gatling guns or raising the hidden ramp to the get-away submarine.
The hidden switch can be used to control a [...]

Sometimes you are surfing the internet and run across something so frigging gosh-darn awesome you slap yourself in the head and say “I wish I was doing that!” Well, I wish I was working on projects with Pat Regan at Vulcania Submarine.
Having stumbled across his site, linked from a scubaboard forum, I was amazed. Regan [...]

Even if several months have already passed, the MacBook Air still kicks ass in terms of notebook innovations. Thinnovation was the advertorial cry embraced by Apple, presents the tinniest of all laptops you can find in the market, just as thick as your index finger. Some newer laptops are even thinner, but none have the [...]

Wow. I wrote a bad review of Cameta Camera and they offered to PAY ME to take it down.
Really the depths these guys will sink to knows no bounds. I recently purchased a Nikon D3 from Cameta Camera, via Amazon. I trust Amazon with these purchases and they’ve never really let me down. The [...]

I’ve been enthralled with this pen since I was a teenager. In college, I had a part-time job selling men’s clothes in an upscale shop on an upscale shopping street. Every day I would wander into this small vintage gift shop across the road and look at the 2 or 3 Parker 51s they had [...]

I know I promised to review the Flip Ultra a few weeks back, but I wanted to wait until I had a chance to really mess around with it. I have. It rules.
There isn’t much to say — low light, bright sunlight: it doesn’t matter! There is really only one button to press: Record.
The real [...]

From GearLive — a robotic drum machine on a tank tread.

What it does? Basically:
Navigate around, collect some data, avoid obstacles, until it
Finds something “worth playing on” (a single isolated object or a wide flat surface that it can find an angle onto)
Snakes into place
Plays some beats on what it have found, and samples [...]

I just don’t know! Do I want a good video recorder to take video of the baby, or not? I have a DV cam and we’ve hardly used it in the last 5 years. I have it hooked up for skype in the livingroom with a USB PolyCom and the big LCD.
I looked at the [...]

Saw this linked off of Things from Another World. Reminds me of the John Rhys-Davies intro films to the Indiana Jones Adventure at Disneyland.

Oh the times I have wanted to hit the eject button! Perhaps to launch a rocket and destroy the slow jerk in the Caddy? Or to vaporize the small woman in the RAV-4? Seems such cool gadgetry is available outside of Q’s labs — you just need the disposable cash of a drug runner.
Mexican soldiers [...]

Look — when the aliens get here my child will be horrified if Daddy just lays down and lets them take over. She expects Pops to keep the reflexes sharp, crack a brute over the head, grab his weapons and get to saving New Mombasa.
How to do that while she is sleeping in the next [...]
