Gin & Titonic: Celebrating Tragedy Since 1912

July 15th, 2008 · No Comments

Celebrating disaster [...]

Croissant Wrist Rest: The Bakery of Ergonomics

July 15th, 2008 · No Comments

The French have plenty of faults. We could argue and debate about French policy and culture for hours, no doubt. But one thing that many of us can agree with is that they make some awesome baked goods. The croissant (which I lovingly refer to as the Freedom Roll) is both pretty, lovingly fluffy, and [...]

Hacked!: The USB Drive That No One Will Steal

July 15th, 2008 · No Comments

This video for the 569V is HD, up to 1280 x 720, at 30fps. The 569V has a 5MP CMOS sensor, [...]

July 15th, 2008 · No Comments

I’ve been looking into a lot of digital cameras, such as the Casio EX-Z9. Today, it is Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ4. This camera is similar in design to the aforementioned EX-Z9, and has an equal number of pixels (8.1, to be exact).

The Pop-O-Matic Jukebox is lacking in tunes

July 15th, 2008 · No Comments

This cruel and unusual popcorn maker is excessively deceiving and did I mention cruel?  With it looking like a jukebox as it is, you would hope it would at least have speakers and a spot to plug in your iPod.  However, all it does is sit there and pop you popcorn.  I have a microwave [...]
