P-ism Pen Computer
Sometimes I would love to have a computer that is small. It sounds like Apple may be coming up with a flash mini laptop sometime soon, but I want something smaller. But I want something that has full size capability. And then the folks at NEC came up with a design that […]
Ice Cream MakerBall
I can remember playing out in the snow when I was younger. I absolutely love a heavy snowfall. It has the effect of making a big world very small. It’s almost like the world turns into a magical place. I have to admit, I still love the whole thing. One […]
Power Plate Shakes Weight Away
Americans are a funny bunch. We will seek just about any way to lose weight without eating well and without exercising. That’s a sad state of affairs. When I first came across articles about whole body vibration, I was extremely skeptical about the supposed benefits. But as I read on through […]

Solar Power Zaps Your Gadgets, Small Ants Too
After doing a 9th Grade science report on Solar Technology, I was hooked on all the stuff I saw. Not only could I wire up home-built solar cells to power LED lights and whatnot, but I could charge my gadgets in the desert, purify water, and reduce my future energy bill. Not to mention the […]

MorphVOX Creates Great Prank Calls
I can remember the days of no caller ID. That was good and bad. One of the great things was that you could prank call people with impunity. Just pick a name, preferrably a really funny name, in the phone book and it was showtime. But it was also really fun […]
