t-rex usb drive: dinosaurs became extinct so you could save your data
August 30, 2009 by Syndicated · Leave a Comment
Hey kids! Meet T-Rex. He may be small #8211; 6#8243; x 2.5#8243; x 6#8243; #8211; for a dinosaur, but he#8217;s willing to protect your files. And with those big claws and teeth, not even Swiper will risk the wrath of T-Rex!
Unfortunately he#8217;ll have to be decapitated before you can save your data.
He also#8230;
giant lego aliens are somehow cute

Aliens: not just for bursting out of your chest anymore. Now they#8217;re in your LEGOs!
The titular aliens from the emAlien/em films are, in my opinion, right at the top of the scariness chart, which means I never, emever/em thought I#8217;d say anything based on their design was at all cute. And yet, I find the little#8230;
a tale of two mega men

It was the biggest of sprites, it was the smallest of sprites#8230; no, wait, I mean they#8217;re both right here next to one another, these Perler bead projects. It#8217;s big Mega Man versus smaller Mega Man:
The bigger Mega Man is almost two feet tall#8211;and would look awesome on the wall#8211;but I personally find this#8230;
satanvision red led tv: the devil made him do it

What might television look like in hell? Maybe a bit like this.
This incredibly lo-fi SatanVision television set was designed by David Forbes. It#8217;s outputs of an unbelievably crappy 128#215;96 resolution image, and all of the pixels are red. Here it is playing the only video game they have in the underworld, emPong/em. Oh, and#8230;
ketron sd8 synthesizer has more keys than you’ll ever need
August 29, 2009 by technabob · Leave a Comment
This wouldn#8217;t be the first time I#8217;ve written about a many-keyed synthesizer on technabob, but it is the first time I#8217;ve featured one today. So there.
The Ketron SD8 differentiates itself from the keyboard pack by offering a keyboard that isn#8217;t based on the traditional 88-keyed piano, but instead on the chromatic scale that you#8230;

Puzzlemasters #8211; if you#8217;ve already figured out how to solve Rubik#8217;s cube in under 9 seconds flat, you#8217;re probably in need of a new challenge. Well here something that should keep you busy for at least 30 seconds. These insane Rubik#8217;s cube derivations combine the power of multiple cubes to provide a really dastardly puzzle#8230;
fast food usb drives: i can has cheeseburger and fries with that
August 29, 2009 by technabob · Leave a Comment
Now we#8217;ve certainly seen our share of odd food-themed USB drives here at technabob, but it seems that there#8217;s an entire cottage industry in China dedicated to creating a never-ending supply of even weirder flash memory devices, seemingly just so we can write about them.
These fast food USB drives come in two flavors: cheeseburger#8230;
dishpointer augmented reality iphone 3gs app helps you find satellites with ease

Ever try to install a satellite dish? Speaking from personal experience, I can say that finding the right line-of-sight from the dish to the skies can be a real pain in the a$$. Now there#8217;s a new app coming for the iPhone 3GS that could make satellite dish positioning just a bit easier.
DishPointer#8217;s next-generation#8230;
katamari jelly beans: please make these so i can eat some
August 28, 2009 by technabob · Leave a Comment
I have no idea where these Katamari Damacy jelly beans came from, but they sure look delicious. The guys at Jelly Belly and Namco need to do a business deal. And I should get a cut. Or at least a lifetime supply.

dive back into the deep with endless ocean 2 [nintendo wii]
August 28, 2009 by Syndicated · Leave a Comment
With the definition of just what a game is expanding so rapidly, mellow experiences like emEndless Ocean/em and its forthcoming sequel are beginning to seem absolutely normal. The scuba diving games have an emphasis on exploration and the beauty of the ocean, without a lot of the goals and challenges that crop up in traditional games.#8230;
