If they ever remake Caddy Shack, this is the weapon that Bill Murray's character will use to hunt gophers. Feast your eyes on the golf ball launcher that attaches to the barrel of your AR-15, M4, or M16 rifle. The launcher replaces your muzzle brake and launches the golf ball a really long way.

Tiny dancing Keepon, the endearing yellow spongeball robot, is spawning a toy version. My Keepon will lack the original's research functionality - it was designed to be appealing to special needs patients - but will still be able to dance in time to music and react to touch.

Keyport USB drive gets more storage
Back in September of 2001, I mentioned that the cool Keyport key hiding slider thingy had gained a new feature with the ability to add a flash drive into one of the ports. If you forget exactly what this thing is, it's a small box that can hide up to six special keys inside that slide you when you need them.

OnBoard Research Intellitouch Capo tuner for guitars unveiled
I used to take guitar lessons as a kid and my instructor would tune the guitar every time I went in using a tuning fork and his ear. Things are a lot simpler now with high tech tuners like the new Intellitouch CT1 Capo tuner from OnBoard Research. The turner clips to the guitar and will work with 6-string and 12-string guitars.

CES 2011 is Over and I’m Still Alive
Before the Consumer Electronics Show kicked off in Las Vegas, I wrote up a piece about how I was excited, and equally uneasy, about the trip to Vegas and the impending show. It’s the biggest tech show around, and while it may not seem like it, there really is a lot to do. But, time marches on, and here we are a couple days after the show has officially wrapped up. So, I figured I’d tell you how it all went, and whether or not I’m looking forward to next year’s extravaganza.
Kent Displays shows off Boogie Board LCD Writing tablet at CES in six new colors
Any busy family or professional has to write things down on occasion. I know in my house we go through more scratch paper and note pads than I never dreamed we would. A company called Kent Displays has a cool digital replacement for all those paper notes some folks make called the Boogie Board.

Best Buy Buy Back Program Set to Kick Off January 5th
When you buy something, hopefully your first instinct isn't to just return it. Sure, things happen, and that's more than likely why Best Buy, one of the nation's largest electronics retailers, has decided to go ahead and start looking at making it possible for customers to sell their wares back to the store. First it was killing restocking fees. Now they've got something new. They're calling it the Best Buy Buy Back Program, and it's designed for those who are worried about their devices becoming obsolete after they make their expensive purchase.

My First CES, & Why I’m Scared Out of my Mind
Despite the fact that I’ve been writing about technology for a while now, I consider today a big day for me. Actually, I consider today a day that will be one that I remember for the rest of my life. Sorry for beating around the bush, but I imagine that the title of this column probably gave it away: this is my first visit to Las Vegas while the Consumer Electronics Show is in town. Why is today such a big day? Because today’s the day I’m taking my flight to Vegas, and teaming up with the rest of the SlashGear and Android Community crew, where we’re going to run around with a chaotic purpose to do just one thing: bring you images, stories, and videos of what’s happening at this year’s show. But, while we’re doing that, here’s the truth: I’m going to be scared out of my mind.
SlashGear’s 2010 Wrap-Up
We’ve already told you what to expect from 2011 and the imminent CES 2011 show next week, courtesy of Tim Bajarin’s excellent editorial, but it wouldn’t be fair to the departing twelve months to let them pass without a SlashGear wrap-up. 2010 has seen its share of highs along with a fair few worrying lows, with Apple extending its much-coveted brand to include a best-selling tablet, Android growth bursting through the roof, and privacy becoming the buzzword seldom from headlines.
In Praise of Anticipation (or, A Geek’s Christmas)
December 25, and a fair chunk of the SlashGear audience is probably ripping off brightly covered wrapping paper and getting to grips with a new toy or two. It’s a day when crossed fingers, letters to Santa and heavily dropped hints finally come to fruition, and the tech plaything of your dreams hopefully ends up in your sweaty grasp. All that anticipation, building up to something shiny to play with. Maybe I’m unusual but for me, sometimes, the anticipation is better than the gadget itself.
Keybrid is the coolest house key ever
House keys are generally really boring. You can go to your local Walmart and get keys in colors or with designs on them if you want to, but those aren't that interesting to some folks. One of the coolest and most interesting keys for your house that I have ever seen is called the Keybrid. The key has its own key ring integrated into it so you can just clip the key to your keychain or just about anything else.
