Tetris Quilt

Nov 6 2007 No Comment  317 views

Tetris QuiltAlright, I’m not a quilt aficionado, but this has to be the greatest quilt ever made. It was recently featured in Make Magazine, in the “Best of Craft” column. This would look awesome on my bed, but it would probably give me video game nightmares, like I get every time I start playing the latest release without finishing it before bed. (But my Halo nightmares are the stuff of another post…) I’d probably wake up with blisters on my thumbs.

Lego Spaceship

Lego Cylon Raider

Ahhh… Legos, bane of my paycheck. I don’t think I’ll ever outgrow these things. The other day I was in a Toy R’ Us with my brother, killing time before a showtime at the local movie theater when the truth hit me. Legos are the reason that I will never be rich. If another man accumulated a few hundred extra dollars, he’d put it into a savings account. If he were a smart man, he’d put it into stocks and bonds. But me, I’d run out and by some gigantic Lego set, then spend money I didn’t have preserving and storing the completed result after it was assembled. *Sigh* Sometimes I wish I had spent more time as a boy learning to play sports.

I’m especially fond of building space ships and space stations… mainly so that I can stage space battle in the dark with flashlights and laser pointers … So imagine my excitement when I hit the jackpot at Brickshelf. The two pictured above are the most impressive, and they were recently featured on Retard Media.

Gadget: Cell Phone Jammer

Oct 2 2007 10 Comments  1,166 views

The Cjam 100 Cell Phone JammerHere’s a gadget that has my vote for “Gadget of the Year.” The CJAM 1000 is a powerful but portable battery-operated cell phone jammer that will disconnect any conversation within a fifty-foot radius. The jammer is conveniently camouflaged as a cellphone itself. The catch? These devices are only available to government agencies. Weight: 4 ounces

The miCard

Jun 5 2007 No Comment  482 views

The miCard Storage DeviceSony’s latest and greatest memory card will fit an amazing amount of data onto a tiny, tiny sliver of a device. It’ll make it possible to carry somewhere close to two Terabytes (2,048GB) on a keychain, though the one pictured has only a 512MB capacity. Not only will the miCard be able to pack in the bytes, it’ll be lighting fast, as well, at 480Mbit/sec. These devices will be a new format all together, but, unlike other Sony formats, this one is designed to be USB compatible.
