Scuba Mask HUD from DataMask
I don’t dive much. Okay, I never dive. I’ve never really had the fancy to get into the water with predators much larger than myself. I would consider myself bait at that point. And knowing me, I would probably be absent minded and eat a whole container of beef jerky before […]
Information is Power
Technology’s first cousin-twice removed “Information” may well be the most helpful thing you will ever encounter in your life. My friends, thanks to the lovely entity named “lifehacker“; a MASSIVE list of government resources has emerged. While touting some fan favorites (www.nasa.gov), this list contains one of the most varied and comprehensive gatherings of information […]
Taser XREP Electric Projectile
I think everyone knows what a Taser is. If you don’t, stroll on down to your local police station and cause a non-violent ruckus. You’ll find out pretty quick. Ok, don’t do that. Anyway, Tasers deliver non-lethal electric impulses to hostile individuals. Law enforcement and military units use them all […]
Intel and the OLPC: Not Just a “Gadget” Anymore
The OLPC program. A great example of efficiency, technology, and education coming together in a simple and economic package to assist the world’s less fortunate. Standing for “One Laptop per Child”, the OLPC program is a joint, non-profit effort to, as it says, put a low-cost, simple-yet-effective laptop in the hands of the developing world’s […]
KeyPort Access Elegance
I hate keys. They’re bulky and annoying. So, when I saw the KeyPort I fell in love. The things looks elegant and it has tech features to boot. It looks like the initial product will hold six keys, but other lines are already in the works. It comes in different […]
Irikon Iris Authentication Flash Drive
One of the problems of flash drives is security. That includes security for organizations who don’t want flash drives on a network. And it also includes security for the holder of the flash drive. If you lose a flash drive and it holds identifying information, you’re in a world of hurt. […]
Wacom Tablets: Feel Like A Pro.
Professional-grade picture editing has really caught on. It seems every computer I see has some form of Photoshop, Picasa, or some other proprietary software designed to edit and make great pictures. Of course, most people with experience will tell you that a mouse is a pretty bad way to draw on the computer, only barely […]
Daniel Tammet Amazing Autistic Savant
An autistic savant may be defined this way: “A person with autism who is exceptionally gifted in a specialized field. That field may, for example, be mathematics. The autistic savant may be able to do rapid, complex mental calculations. Or the field may be music. The autistic savant may be able to perform a entire […]
New PC Hassles & Firefox Tricks
I take it all back about the “giddyness” I said I would experience a few days ago; well, not completely. These past two days have been lethally full of stuff for me; orientation for college started today and will continue tomorrow, so I’ve been prepping for that, on top of the new computer needed to […]
MediaPortal Advanced Free Media Center
This is kind of a follow up from yesterday’s Pinnacle HDTV USB device. I know Pinnacle includes some free PVR software, but those kind of bundled PVR software packages don’t usually measure up. I’ve mentioned the commercial PVR software BeyondTV before - and I am a fan. But I thought I would […]
