I really like going to the lake. It affords a peace that is unrivalled. But, I have to admit, I would throw that away for a chance to ride in the Marion HyperSub. Just look at that thing. It’s like Bond’s day at the beach.

Projection will really become ubiquitous in the near future. And pico projectors are leading the way – becoming smaller, bright, and crisper with every iteration. The Optoma PK301 pico projector is another step along that journey.

KVMs are great. If you don’t know, KVM is a keyboard video mouse switch. They are boxes that you attach that allow you to switch between computers.

Oh, and it’s free – unlike those expensive KVMs.

You know, I don’t get all the hype around the iPad. True, I didn’t around the iPhone either. It’s not that I don’t think they are neat devices, but I tend to be a hesitant adopter. Just to be clear, I also don’t get the bashers of those devices. I also didn’t really want an iPad, until I saw the iCade arcade cabinet and app. Then my geeky knees quivered.

Man o man, do you remember Tecmo Bowl? It was the greatest football game with cheesy graphics, even cheesier sounds, that kept us coming back for more – and more – and more. Well, now Tecmo Bowl Throwback is being released for Xbox360 Live and Playstation 3 download. Time to call your buddies for a 20 year reunion of good old fashioned smack down!
