I hate steampunk more than the next guy. A lot more. These keyboards probably fall into that genre, but I dunno, there’s something irresistable about them. Beyond that, in general, I love this kind of stuff that’s produced by hand by an artist/craftsman - it feels so refreshing in a mass produced kinda world. Each [...]

Aaaiiight! This morning finds me clicking through all sorts of gear that I want or almost want… Unusual!
Let’s kick this mutha off with a look at the new Sigma DP1 digital camera. This guy is nearly perfect - it’s main schtick is its DSLR sized sensor which will let it take mad awesome pictures - [...]

As long as I’ve been alive I’ve wanted to be able to put gps information into the pictures I’ve been taking. Ok, maybe not quite that long, but it feels like that long, capisci? Anyhow, so I’ve been patiently waiting, like some kind of GPS wanting zen monk, for digital cameras to get in on [...]

Wow. So there I was reading some liveblogging on and off of the MacWorld keynote - on and off, that is till they showed the new MacBook Air! It fits into an envelope? 3lbs? 64GB SSD drive optional? Core 2 Duo? Intel shrunk this stuff just for Apple? 2GB Ram standard?? All this for $1799? [...]

Having it all within [...]

Huh, the Zune 2 was announced last night. It’s actually pretty reasonable, the 80GB is only marginally larger than the 80GB iPod. The control is touch sensitive so it works like a 5-way d-pad but you can also flick - which works like it does on the iPhone. That’s interesting, although flicking on such a [...]

So you know that I think that things wheeled personal transport is trending to fewer and fewer wheels. Well, here’s another one for the books - here’s a one wheeled skateboard that uses some kind of voodoo magic to work. I’m pretty sure that he says chickens were sacrificed but you can read his page [...]

First of all, understand that if you’re a certain type of dog owner (you know, the kind that owns a dog) there’s a joy in finding a great costume for the dog to wear. Second, understand that if you’re a certain type of science fiction lover (you know, the kind that loves science fiction) you [...]

A lot has been made of the Amazon deal with NBC. After leaving Apple and iTunes it seems that Amazon welcomed NBC with a lure of flexible pricing and a more restrictive DRM.
Now there’s been talk about their latest project Kindle. I’m interested to see the e-book platform take off and Amazon seems well [...]
