Are you one of those people who has to keep absolutely everything clean? Sure, I don’t care for a messy house, but I’ve come to accept that things will get a little messy sometimes, and dust will find its way into places I don’t feel like cleaning very often. That’s why I would never bother buying these USB Connector Anti-Dust Stoppers.

Using Skype on your computer is a great way to stay in touch with loved ones that live far away. However, some people don’t want to be limited to doing it on a small screen, or perhaps they don’t want to mess with a computer at all. For those people there is the Biscotti TV Phone. As the name implies, it turns your TV into a video phone.

Sometimes I find new products to be amusing. It usually has a lot to do with the way they are marketed. This Blutooth Handset TK2 would be one such device. This handset will connect to your smartphone, and allow you to use it for talking, rather than the phone itself. What I can’t figure out is why you would want to do that. It’s considerably smaller than your phone, and thus, is going to be more uncomfortable to hold. And…

When I was a kid, I would almost always stay with my grandparents over winter break. One of my favorite things to do each morning was to go into the kitchen, and open the window on her Advent calendar. Behind each window was a small wooden toy, which wasn’t really meant to be played with (I usually did anyway), but was more of a symbol to help celebrate the days leading up to Christmas. Having been out of school for…

If you’ve ever had a cool t-shirt design, there’s a good chance that you never bothered to actually get a shirt made with it. Usually the biggest hurdle is the cost involved with getting shirts printed. Most shirt printing shops charge a good bit for a small run, as it takes time and money for them to make a screen for a single shirt. Well if you have a design already made, and want a cheap way to transfer it…

On the few times I’ve actually been golfing, I’ve found three things to be extremely enjoyable. The fresh air, putting on the green (years of putt-putt really do pay off) and driving the golf cart. There’s just something enjoyable about driving around a freshly-cut fairway that brings a smile to my face. Of course, I always drove a rental from the clubhouse, so I know I wasn’t getting the full experience. For that I would need one of these Garia…

Read MoreIn this world, it seems that we’re always trying to get things done faster. Be it that big project that your boss has been hounding you about for a week, or your morning commute, we always look for ways to be more efficient with our time. Sometimes I daydream about hooking up a couple of jet engines to my car and seeing just how much time that would knock off my trip. Now while that wouldn’t be a smart thing…

Over at ThinkGeek they are selling Bacon Candy Canes, which look just like your average ordinary candy. Can you imagine the look on…

Laptops do a good job of making us feel like we’re on a regular desktop. However, desktops don’t have trackpads or batteries to worry about. Dealing with these pieces of hardware can be a bit annoying, and can ruin your computing experience. For instance, bumping that trackpad and moving your cursor to a different spot in your document can be rather annoying. And having a dead battery causes some obvious issues. So how do you get the most out of…

It’s funny how trends come and go. Polaroid made a big name for themselves by making cameras that would provide you with pictures almost instantly. Everyone remembers using one at some point or another. Snapping the picture, and waiting a few seconds for it to develop. A few years ago, the company decided that it was time to retire their instant film camera. Well now they’ve brought it back, only it’s not quite the same. This Z340 Instant Digital Camera…

NeverWet is a new spray on coating which makes just about any surface completely water-repelling. But hold on, we mean *really* water repellant. This stuff doesn’t just stop water sinking in, it seems to actually repel it with almost no surface friction at all. In technical terms the coating has a superhydrophobic rating of 160–175 degrees, this being the contact angle of a liquid with the coated surface. The maximum is 180 degrees which means that the liquid is a perfect ball on…
Read MoreDIY projects can be a good way to make a device that simplifies your life, and saves you money. However, not all projects are like this. Some things we make because it seems like fun, or just to say that we’ve made it. I’d say that this Tweephone would fall into the the later categories. The Tweephone is an old rotary phone that allows you to compose and send tweets, simply by� picking up the phone and dialing. I say…
