As the old saying goes, some things never change. Take, for instance, the way we drink soda. It comes in bottles and cans, which we tip back and drinking. The other option is to suck it up through a straw. While you may not think we need a new way to consume a carbonated beverage, there are others that would disagree. Such minds put their brain power into creating Turbo Tango. This new beverage is contained in an aerosol can,…

I’m rather strange, in the fact that I like the fact that it is summer when I’m outside, but I much happier when I’m inside and it is winter. The weather is enjoyable outside in the summer months, but when I’m sleeping, I tend to get very warm. Even when the air conditioning is on, I still find myself too hot under even a single blanket or sheet. That’s why I like the idea of this Air Condition Bed Mat…

Time-lapse photography is a great way to track the movement or growth of an object with pictures, rather than video. The general idea is to take a number of pictures, each spaced at exact intervals. In order to be precise, you can’t really do it by hand. Thus, you’ll need the help of a special piece of hardware called an intervalometer. This talks to your camera and tells it exactly when to snap each picture. If you seek out one…

Read MoreIf you’ve ever seen someone make line art, then you know how unique and interesting the result can be. The process of creating these effects is not always an easy one. It takes a camera with the ability to take long-exposure shots, and some precise movement on the part of the person with the light source. Of course, with the right equipment, you can make some really cool art, without a bunch of flashy movements on your part. What you…

With the summer months upon us, this means that we’ll be having campfires and roasting marshmallows. After all, one of the best snacks around is a s’more. If you don’t have an open fire to roast the marshmallows, it’s just not quite the same. Sure, you can try cooking them in the microwave, but that doesn’t toast them on the outside. So what do you do? You get one of these Old Fashioned S’Mores Makers. This device holds up to…

You don’t have to hunt in your pockets when you want to know the time, just a glance at the wall will do. With the device being such a staple in most rooms, wouldn’t it be nice if it could serve multiple functions? This Wall…

If I’m using my laptop for long periods of time, I generally switch to a mouse, rather than using the trackpad for hours. A mouse is just so much easier to use, and I seem to get things done fast when I use one. Unfortunately you don’t always have the best surface to use your pointer on. One option is to carry a mouse pad in your bag. Another is to get one of these SmartFish Travel Pouches. This pouch…

I’ll admit to being an iPhone user. While I do love my device, I know that it’s far from being perfect. It suits me well enough for what I need, so I make do with most of the drawbacks. However, there are some things that are just so annoying that I’ll go above and beyond to fix. I’m talking about the ability to modify the sounds my phone makes when I get a text message. Why Apple didn’t think we…
