Heineken BeerTender – helps you get drunk in style

James Allan Brady, Feb 29th 2008 Discuss [3]

I am a big fan of beer, sadly Heineken isn’t one of my favorites, but their new BeerTender works with other brands as well. This is essentially a countertop kegerator/tap for you to poor fresh beer from. Read The Full Story

James Allan Brady, Feb 29th 2008 Discuss [1]

So you can’t run Wayne enterprise or leap from tall building without fear of harm just because you are wearing this belt, but the bottle opener might come in handy. There is also a Philips and flat-head screw driver and a wrench built in. Read The Full Story

Nemorelaxer coming to an airport near you

James Allan Brady, Feb 4th 2008 Discuss [0]

Imagine being able to use your spare time at the airport to catch some much needed rest or net some added productivity by removing distractions. I know that I could have been a lot more productive if I could have had access to a comfortable work station which had internet access, a comfortable seat, a desk, and an easy access outlet. The fact that it’s sound proof and has a recliner built in just makes it that much better whether you are using it to sleep or do work. There is also a touch-screen monitor that you can select and then watch movies on if you wish. Read The Full Story

We Will Never Forget: the Boston Bomb Scare

James Allan Brady, Jan 31st 2008 Discuss [2]

I am sure we all remember the tragic day when the LED effigy of Ignignokt magically didn’t explode, but was still thought to be a bomb. Who would have ever thought that people in the US would be so dumb and ignorant to think that an LED lit up sign is a bomb. But they did, in the end; I believe two men were charged with some dumbass charges because they somehow managed to declare the LED signs “hoax devices”. So, next time you have a company and you hire some people to do some advertising for you, might want to be careful, they might be considered terrorists. Read The Full Story

EcoButton is eco-friendly

Christina Crouch, Jan 31st 2008 Discuss [1]

I try to be eco friendly, I want to be, but I slip up a lot as do most of us. What I need is something that is simple to use and hard to forget about. The EcoButton is a great way to give it another try. Read The Full Story

Wooden Mouse takes a tech step backwards

Christina Crouch, Jan 31st 2008 Discuss [0]

I was under the impression that new products where supposed to be more advanced but I guess I was wrong. This wooden mouse falls into what I’d called “novelty items”. Read The Full Story

Vibe Body Sound bone conduction headphones

Christina Crouch, Jan 31st 2008 Discuss [2]

I don’t get the big deal over headphones, earbuds or what-have-you. I’m not a music connoisseur or anything so sound quality is not as important to me as comfort and getting to listen to my music. I also don’t get the people dying because they don’t turn their music down while walking down busy roads or train tracks. The Vibe Body Sound headphones appear to be comfortable and will reduce death. Read The Full Story

Jellyclick ultra portable mouse

Christina Crouch, Jan 31st 2008 Discuss [0]

I have a wireless mouse and I’ve never had difficulty taking it anywhere, it’s small as mice are and there are no cords so I could put it in my pocket if needed. Apparently, though, there is enough of a need for smaller mice when traveling someone has come up with the idea for something called a Jellyclick mouse. Read The Full Story

Bamboo Speakers are inspired by nature

Christina Crouch, Jan 31st 2008 Discuss [0]

Some products seem to dwell on feature and others dwell on design, rarely though do I think anything brings the two together. Yeah there are some that claim to have both but in my opinion most fall short and the Bamboo speakers are no exception. Read The Full Story

Tactile Mp3 player with simple control

Christina Crouch, Jan 30th 2008 Discuss [0]

I wish I had an exact number of different kinds of Mp3 players there are. It would just be nice to have and throw around once in a while when you run across those people who’ve never heard of anything but an iPod. Read The Full Story

SoakTV is a waterproof wireless TV

Christina Crouch, Jan 30th 2008 Discuss [0]

I’ve heard tale of those people who are so addicted to TV they have one in every room, including the bathroom, and I’m glad I’m not one of them. I’ve never had a show that was so important to me I couldn’t miss a second of it or wait until a rerun to catch what I missed. But for those of you who need to take it a step further and place your TV within the bathtub/shower itself there is the SoakTV. Read The Full Story

Stylophone makes a comeback

Christina Crouch, Jan 30th 2008 Discuss [0]

I’m really glad I’m not of the 70’s generation, some of things that went on during then worry me a little, and those worries are based on outcomes, rather than actually things that happened. The Stylophone was an outcome of the 70’s and though it kind of died it is making a comeback and I’m not quite sure why. Read The Full Story
