Your whole life documented electronically

By Chris Davies on Wednesday, Feb 21st 2007 No Comments

Gordon Bell, wearing Microsoft Research's SenseCam Having started a new job at the beginning of the year, I’m finding myself regularly running into people who I recognise but am unable to recall their name, where they work or in what context I know them. It’s frustrating and potentially embarrassing. Not a problem likely to occur in Gordon Bell’s life, however; everything he’s seen, everything he’s read, all the sites he’s browsed to, the IM and email conversations he’s had, it’s all stored electronically: 150GB over the past six years, in fact.

Natural sunlight for any room

By Chris on Monday, Feb 19th 2007 1 Comment

I practically live in my basement. No, not my parent’s basment, the basement in my house. Some days I spend so much time down there that I barely see the sun at all. With a Solatube, one day I may be able to see sunlight every day.

My Guild Leader is How Old?

By Abby McVay on Saturday, Feb 17th 2007 1 Comment

Ever find it weird when you are casually playing your online games and making all those adult content jokes, only to find out that the person you are talking to is a young teen?

I know there is the huge controversy about them looking at things they shouldn’t, or meeting people they shouldn’t that could harm them. I’m not even talking about all of that, I am more talking about the awkwardness you feel when you find out your guild leader in WoW is a 14 year old boy. I mean, any respect you had for that level 60 character is just out the window when they start talking about how much they think some little teeny bopper is oh so cute.

The Perfect PC for Your Car – Uren A1

By Chris on Monday, Feb 12th 2007 3 Comments

Anyone that knows me knows that I don’t leave my computer unless it’s absolutely necessary. Driving is one of those times where I’m still forced to disconnect. Well, I do have my phone, but one of these days I’m going to get in a wreck trying to surf the net on it.

Spy Clock

By Chris on Monday, Feb 12th 2007 No Comments

Are you looking for a creative new way to spy on your spouse/children/babysitter? Well, I’ve never been one to spy, but if I were, I’d probably love this clock. At a glance, it looks like nothing more than a regular digital clock. But of course, it’s hardly that.

Elsewares Hi-tech Fashion

By Abby McVay on Friday, Feb 2nd 2007 No Comments

Want to show off your nerdy side but not actually to broadcast it to the entire world? Elsewares has found the answer. They have a line of jewelry made from the innards of your computer and other random electronics. You can get the sleek version made from naked Ethernet, as well as the more chunky style made from 3 amp diodes. They even have a great keychain made from a MIDI plug for you guys. Either way it’s a fun new twist in jewelry and anyone who isn’t as computer savvy wouldn’t have a clue what they were.

They seem as innocent as the rubber bracelets that everyone seems to be sporting these days. I must warn you though if you actually want to branch out and stop dating the computer geniuses of the world, this may not be the route to go. Since odds are any of them that notice might start a relentless pursuit of you. Let’s face it tech girls can be hard to come by. For those guys out there that still haven’t bought that special someone a Valentine’s gift, this would be a fun and fairly inexpensive gift to buy. Prices can range anywhere from $8.00 to $45.00.

Now you see it, now you don’t

For those of you that don’t want to stare at a blank screen when your TV is off, here is a classy new gadget that will transform your TV. The HideandChic from Media Décor is a picture frame that you place around your wall-mounted flat-panel. With the push of a button, your choice of contemporary art will unroll, turning your blank screen into a piece of art.

If you think this sounds like a high-class decivce, just wait until you see the high-class price tag. You can expect to pay around $14,000 for one of these. With a price like that, I think I would find a way to bear actually having to look at my TV. (After all, isn’t that what they’re made for?)
