Panasonic new high-tech massage chair looks very, very comfortable
Posted on March 5, 2010 | No Comments
You could argue massage chairs are something for old people, but after coming to Japan over 5 years ago, I had the chance to relax in more than one of these for a few hours. And let me tell you these chairs, especially those made by Japanese makers, are awesome, provided you don't mind passing out while watching a movie.
The problem is that these massage chairs are usually pretty expensive, just like this new model Panasonic announced [JP] yesterday. The main selling point of the EP-MA70 is the built-in ceramic heater that's supposed to relieve fatigue. Special "balls" are used to heat up your back, waist, shoulders and neck area to up to 40C.

SodiumOne: Sony’s possibly legitimately fun game in Home
Posted on December 17, 2009 | No CommentsSony hasn't given up on Home, its virtual world filled with avatars and overall weirdness. It just launched Sodium One, which is the latest Home world you and your avatar can spend the day in. There's a game to go along with it, one that looks an awful lot like Wipeout, which isn't bad at all.

I can't believe I'm about to say this, but this Sharper Image product actually seems to be somewhat useful and – perhaps more importantly -- priced reasonably.

The common peephole finally goes digital
Posted on October 5, 2009 | No CommentsIt’s 11:30 PM. You’re all alone. Suddenly!! A knock at the door!! “Who could it be?” you wonder. Oh, two large pizzas just for you. That’s right. You ordered them directly from your TiVo in a fit of self loathing. Better make sure it’s the pizza guy, though. Oh, actually it might be the frozen yogurt you ordered too. Time to use the digital peephole viewer.

Micathermic Heaters: Do they work well?
Posted on October 3, 2009 | No Comments
Fall is here, don’t get me wrong. It’s NOT time to start thinking about winter yet – no sir. However, let’s start thinking about winter.
I live in an old apartment in Boston and the radiator in my office is half the size of all the other radiators in my place. As such, it doesn’t put out much heat in the winter time and I’ve had to resort to space heaters (which I’m not too fond of) and Snuggies when it gets cold.
These micathermic heaters have caught my attention, though. They’re kind of like space heaters but they’re super thin and can be wall-mounted. I saw this particular one in the SkyMall catalog today and wondered if anybody that’s reading this post either owns this exact model or one like it.

Posted on July 24, 2009 | No Comments
SimpliSafe seems like a pretty simple (get it?) home security system for those of us who value our safety, but not enough to get a professional security system installed and, especially, anyone who lives in an apartment or moves around a lot.
