iLive Wireless Sound System with iPod Dock
Sometimes running speakers to other rooms is a major pain. Either your walls are very thick or the layout prohibits you from running wiring. The iLive wireless sound system for your iPod allows you to extend that sound to other rooms.
DimDim Free Web Conference Software
Not that long ago, I posted about a really cool free web conference software called openmeetings. It was a little harsh in terms of install, setup, and configuration. The hardest part was scaling the product in terms of networking and QOS. I planned on coming back to that product for more testing when someone tipped me off to DimDim. DimDim is simply a killer free web conference software package. Also, it’s hosted (if you choose that route), up to 20 attendants - and, did I mention free - forever! Yes, you can download the open source software and host it yourself, but DimDim blows open the limitations of openmeetings.
Loremo 120 MPG Car Update
A while ago I posted about a really interesting concept car called Loremo. I was pretty stunned in that post to find they were purporting 150 mpg. I think those numbers have come down a little, but still impressive to say the least. Anyway, Loremo has demoed their prototype and will be starting production in 2010. This thing looks sweet - I want one!
French English UFO Files Released
It’s interesting with all the denials about the existence of UFOs from governmental bodies that they have these groups. Anyway, seems like there is a body of growing evidence that needs more investigation. A lot of the reports are incidental and can be explained easily, but some are much more compelling. And now, with France (translated) and England releasing their findings, US UFO enthusiasts are going to be bashing at the door.
Monkeylectric Bike Lighting Pimps Your Ride
People love personalizing their stuff. And this maxim doesn’t stop with bikes. Bike enthusiasts want to express themselves while riding. You see the same thing in cars, so why not bikes? Monkeylectric wants to change that with personalized led bike lights. I posted about car led wheel lights before, and now it’s time for bikes.
Microsoft Project Natal Body Controller
Taking a note from the Wii, Microsoft plans on making your whole body the controller with Project Natal. It will be interesting to see if people really like this. It’s a neat concept, but my guess is some gamers will like this. Mainly because it’s too much work!
TechCrunch’s Crunchlet Pretty Amazing
Okay, so they didn’t name it the Crunchlet. I’ve seen Crunch Pad, but I didn’t love that name. Sorry if that is the designated name. Until I see otherwise, I’ll call it the Crunchlet. In any case, Arrington and the folks over at Tech Crunch / Crunch Gear have done something that absolutely warms my heart. They took a need/desire that no one was fulfilling and did it themselves. The result is going to be an amazing tablet that is cheap, runs on Linux, and is super useful. Prosumers, unite!
Cockroach Controlled Robot
Okay, sometimes you just have to do things, you know experiment, because you can. It’s all in the name of science or, er, science fiction. Well, the folks over at ConceptLab decided to let a cockroach control a robot. Hey, someone needs to tell them that the cockroaches will take us over in the end without this robot thingy. I mean, seriously, how much of an advantage do they need?
Amazing Aurora Space Photos and Video

The Auroras are amazing in and of themselves. The lights have mesmerized people for eons. And until pretty recently, their mechanism wasn’t known. As the solar wind interacts with the magnetic field at the poles, it gives off the eery strange colors. Ever wonder what they would look like from space? Wonder no more.
Logitech G940 Flight Simulator System
E3 is abuzz with all the latest goodies. But flight simulator lovers will be agasp with the new G940 flight simulator system. That’s because it mimics the controls of military and commercial grade aircraft - with feedback to boot.
