New iPods (of the nano and touch variety) were announced today. Yup.
Pretty colors.

iPhone 2
June 9, 2008

It’s here. And well, woopty doo.
I was really hoping for a lot more from Apple’s second iteration of their iPhone. Don’t misread me here, I’m still going to get one come July 11th, but I was just hoping for iPhone 2.0 to be well spectacular. But instead, we’re reintroduced to an old friend.
I guess I [...]

Polaroid PoGo ZINK Printer
June 4, 2008

Earlier this year, I reported on the Poloroid ZINK Zero-Ink Printer. In theory, it was brilliant. With its release (slated for early July) coming up, more details about the device have begun to circulate around the blogosphere.
Now if you still don’t know what the ZINK printer is, let’s quickly review. Imagine a portable printer, no [...]

Flip Mino
June 4, 2008

Last week, I purchased a Flip Ultra camcorder. It left me $120 poorer, but I know it’s going be worth every cent. Its design is clever. The simple interface, convenient all-in-one form, and affordable price has allowed the company to take close to a fifth of the camcorder market. No easy task, I’m sure. Yesterday, [...]

The Panerai Radiomir Black Seal Watch is based off the design of the first Panerai, a watch designed in 1938 for the Royal Italian Navy. The black ceramic case is five times harder than steel, giving you that piece of mind knowing it will stay in great shape wherever you may choose to wear it.

We’re all used to reading time with the two-hand method or with a digital readout. It’s nice to read something fresh on your watch face.
The “new Urwerk 202 Hammerhead Automatic [implements] a unique winding system regulated by compressed air. Instead of a traditional rotating vane, the 202 uses miniature twin turbines [...]

The Sanctuary
April 2, 2008

We live in a wireless age. Things like laptops, iPods, mobile phones and Wi-Fi surround us everyday.
So why are we still plugging in to charge our devices? If we could only just eliminate those power cables. Well until that day comes, we still need to find ways to eliminate that dreaded tangled mess that these [...]

Kick It!
March 11, 2008

Designer Ella Marinucci has taken a classic foosball table and transformed it into the game, “Kick It!”.
The field now sits atop a bed of magnets which are activated by a big button on either side of the table. (If you look closely at the picture above, you can see one of the players reach [...]

Sigma DP1
March 4, 2008

My family has had three of those Sony CyberShots–the T-series. You know –the crazy slim ones. Yeah. After purchasing all of them, I’ve come to realize something. They all suck. The picture quality is horrid and blur seems to always taint your subjects. On the other side of the scale, I have a Nikon [...]
