Logitech Wireless BoomBox for the iPad Review

hello I have reviewed more than a few speaker systems over the years. Many of these speaker systems are still situated in various rooms of our house providing music while I putter around the garage, workout, fold laundry, get in the Holiday mood, etc. The speaker system I use most is the Altec Lansing iMT800 MIX BoomBox, which provides good, solid sound throughout the upper floor of our house. The one issue I have with the iMT800?s setup (and others like it) is that you do not get to carry it with you or use your iPhone while listening to music. You must insert it into the dock for a hard-connection. Thankfully, Logitech?s new Wireless Boombox for the iPad solves this issue. It allows you to pair your Bluetooth-enabled device to the wireless...

Take smarter videos with your smart phone with Mobislyder

by Mark R - on November 30th, 2011 One of the problems with shooting video with your phone is that a phone was never really designed with that purpose in mind. Moving shots in movies and television are often done with tracks and pivots, in order to avoid that shaky feeling that comes from unsteady hands. Now smartphones have the Mobislyder, which is a portable dolly designed for small video enabled devices. It requires a lot less set up than professional video equipment. There is a video of the Mobislyder in action after the jump. As you can see, it can be placed on any surface with its glider track and a swivel for many angles. Of course, it will take a little bit of setting up, but not like some big Hollywood production. I believe that...

A Bag Indiana Jones Could Love

by Janet Cloninger on November 30, 2011 � 0 comments in Bags, Backpacks,News hello I was very interested to see these Filson bags while surfing recently. �Filson makes a line of fabric and leather luggage, travel accessories and wallets, briefcases and totes, and field bags (think daily-carry gear bags). �They use twill and wool fabrics in their bags, and I especially love the looks of the medium Wool Field Bag. �The medium field bag in blue/black plaid is shown, but the bag is available in a variety of plaid fabrics, camo designs, and solid black. �There?s a full-width slip-in pocket on the back and two pockets on the ends. �Open up the front flap to access two bellows pockets on the front and the main interior pocket. �The bag is lined...

In France, Quadrocopter Robots To Work In Construction (Video)

But hold on a bit, because it?s not like a high rise is going up in Paris built entirely by flying robots. Too risky! Instead, a squad of the compact quadrocopters are going to embark on an impressive demonstration of architectural forward-thinking. In what is probably a first in robotics, the quadrocopters assembled by Italian designer Rafaello D?Andrea are going to execute a design made by a Swiss architectural firm. The six foot high cylinder will be composed of precisely measured rectangular blocks cleverly stacked on top of each other. The quadrocopters will lift each piece individually and arrange them to form a twirling structure. The installation that emerges should at least hint that robots are the next frontier in heavy duty construction....

All I want for Christmas is the Toyota Fun-Vii

by Mark R - on November 29th, 2011 Toyota has created one of the ultimate concept cars, and like most concept cars, I doubt there will be many copies of this on the road. This is the Fun-Vii, and it is the best combination of a smartphone and a car that doesn?t end with a flattened mobile device. In case you can?t tell by this picture, the Fun-Vii has touch-sensitive displays that can show all sorts of colors, patterns, or photos. I suppose that a good use for the Fun-Vii now would be as a roving billboard. Sort of like the ones that peruse the Las Vegas strip, but the Fun-Vii would have moving images on it. By the way, the Fun-Vii has interior surfaces that are essentially one big display as well. I know that there is no way the DMV would...

Half-Life?s Classic Intro Re-Created As Live Action Short Movie Half-Life: Origins

After more than 10 years since the launch of the original Half Life game. The classic opening sequence of first Half Life game has been reproduced in a number different ways. But this short new live-action Half-Life: Origins movie provides a slightly different take on the well known opening sequence. Half-Life: Origins is an independent short movie created by Infectious Designer, and the director provided a few notes to accompany his creation. ?After 10+ years since it?s release, if you ever go back and replay the original Half-Life, it doesn?t look anything like you remember. The graphics are horrible compared to present day games, but years ago it blew my mind. This video plays with that contrast. I incorporated a fusion of live action...

Nathan?s Wooden Knife Kit Review

hello A while back, Julie posted a news item about a ?wooden pocket knife.? �I was intrigued: normally, one cuts wood with a knife, right? �So when the opportunity to review Nathan?s Knife Kit from Klecker Knives came up, I had to check it out. �My 8-year-old son had been asking me when he could get his own pocket knife. �I want him to begin to appreciate knife safety, but at the same time I know that he is not ready yet in the responsibility department for an actual knife of his own. �Add to this that he and I like to do little DIY-type woodworking projects together (bearing in mind that my tools and skills are meager at best), and this seemed like a perfect fit for both of us. �Onward! Background The origin of Nathan?s Knife Kit is a neat...

Time Command Mini from Stem Innovation

by Mark R - on November 28th, 2011 This is the Time Command Mini by Stem Innovation, makers of the iZON Remote Room Monitor for iDevices. The Time Command Mini is also made for iDevices, and normal docks are just accommodating for the iPod and iPhone. This one will hold the iPad. To me, I think that this is a very important feature. I got a chance to try it out for myself, and I was pretty amazed at the sound. The official site states that ?don?t let the small footprint fool you?, and that also applies to the big sound coming from its small size. The Time Command Mini is really designed for those who have an iPod/iPhone dock by their bed and use it as an alarm clock. Once an iDevice is connected to the Time Command Mini, the time on the...
