Flowers, trinkets, Kindles or another e-book reader, a lovely dinner – these are all nice Mother’s Day gifts. Do you know what isn’t? Giving Mom a smartphone or tablet and sticking them with the bill. Right before every major holiday season, many mobile phone carriers pitch ads that encourage the gifting of cell phones and […]
Free $25 Gift Card With Amazon 3G Kindle E-Book Reader Purchase
Last week I ordered an Amazon.com Kindle e-book reader for myself, and I have to say, I’m really liking it. I have been holding out for an Android tablet, but after checking one out in-store, I realized I needed a smaller, lighter, and glare-free device with far better battery life. I ultimately ordered the wi-fi […]
Batman Arkham City Video Game Trailer
Batman Arkham Asylum was one heck of a great game. It had new fighting dynamics and controls, and gave the player a bit of creative freedom in how they progressed from one mission to the next. Batman Arkham City is the long-awaited sequel to Arkham Asylum, and is due for release in October 2011. In […]
Lego Ball Machine Keeps Going and Going!
There are some great mechanism ideas used in the 20 ball contraption modules. I’d have to say I’m most impressed with the freight train setup at about 3:35 into the video, and the crane at about 7:00.
Bobble BPA-Free Filtering Water Bottles
Although Camelbak’s Groove filtering water bottle has been in stores for at least 2 months now, I haven’t seen anyone in public sporting one. But I have been seeing tons of Bobbles. Tons, and tons, and TONS of Bobbles. Bobbles are BPA-free water bottles with built-in and replaceable filters. I first spotted these a long […]

Pentel Kerry Sharp Mechanical Pencil Can Be Capped for Pocket-Carry
Because of how most mechanical pencils are designed, they’re never really comfortable to pocket and walk around with. Even pencils with retractable tips, such as the Pentel GraphGear 1000, are relatively pointy and intrusive. Pentel’s Kerry Sharp is different and is the only mechanical pencil I know of with a cap. When capped, the Kerry […]
Valve Portal 2 is Out Now, and it’s Awesome!!
Portal was originally included as part of Valve’s Half Life 2 Episode 2 Orange Box release, and it was a very clever and entertaining game. After Portal earned much acclaim since its 2007 release, Valve went to work on Portal 2, which was released yesterday. I don’t want to spoil the story for you, so […]
Lego Technic Supercar 8070
Lego’s Technic Supercar rolls in at 18″ long, 8″ wide, and 1281 pieces deep. It features opening scissor doors, an extendable rear spoiler, a realistic suspension, and popable hood that exposes moving pistons. The Supercar includes a Power Functions motor, although I cannot quite figure out exactly which functions it is used to control. I’m […]

The Safari is priced at about $25, and include a single ink cartridge to start you off with. For a few dollars extra (~$4-5), a Lamy Z 24 converter enables you to load the Safari with your choice […]

Spartacus Blood and Sand Season One DVD Review
This past weekend I watched all 13 episodes of Spartacus: Blood and Sand season 1. I found the series to be extremely enjoyable and addictive, and with a compelling storyline. Its style borrows less from Gladiator and more from 300, but I didn’t mind that at all. Spartacus Blood and Sand is extremely violent, and […]
Domke Post Office Shoulder Pad Eases the Load of Bag Straps
Domke’s “Post Office” shoulder pad is an add-on accessory that slips over insufficiently padded bag straps. Although intended to be used with camera bag straps, the P.O.-style shoulder pad can be used with any bag strap up to 2-3/4″ wide. I purchased a Domke post office shoulder pad about a year ago and have used […]
