Pre-ordered your iPhone 4 at Radio Shack? Sucks to be you – UPDATE
Posted on June 23, 2010 | No Comments
We're getting reports from some folks who tried to work around the massive fail-up during last week's pre-order fiasco and pre-order from Radio Shack, Best Buy, and Wal-Mart. The reports aren't good.
It seems that most stores will not have them in stock tomorrow and that you should probably check with your pre-order store before you head down. One reader, DW, writes:
Hello, I just wanted to let you guys know that I spoke with the Manager of the RadioShack store that I pre-ordered my iPhone from and he let me know that none of the customers who pre-ordered an iPhone 4 would be getting one from his store tomorrow (Thursday).

Post-it Index Cards: A ray of light in our otherwise dreary day
Posted on June 14, 2010 | No Comments
You can tell when someone is in love with office products when they actually "test" them in real life situations. Take OfficeSupplyGeek's look at the Post-It index cards he found at Staples. These mysterious cards can be applied to walls, wood, and dry erase boards and are, for all intents and purposes, basically index cards with stickiness on them. But aren't they so much more?
Best of all was his testing regimen. It included, but was not limited to, removing and replacing the cards over 50 times. How many times would you have tested these things? 5? 7? I know, right?

Der Vuvuzela-Filter: Remove that annoying hum from World Cup games
Posted on June 14, 2010 | No Comments
If you've watched any of the World Cup this year you'll have noticed the endless, high-pitched drone of the Vuvuzela. It's basically a really annoying horn.
Anyway, a German engineer has created a Vuvuzela Filter that takes the ambient noise and removes it from an audio track. It's pretty complex - and in German - but if I watched soccer at all I'd love this to be an in-line hardware box for the removal of noise.

So you're at the coffee shop, and you've walked over to the counter to order another half-frap-double shot raspberry no fat mocha, and left your iPad (or iPod) plugged into your laptop. Suddenly, that skeevy looking fellow who was sitting two tables away makes a grab for your iPad, and runs for the door! You don't see him because you were looking away, but you still know your kit has been boosted! How do you know? Well, you had the PadLock installed.

World-famous industrialist and philanthropist turned into an inflatable doll, stuck into a river
Posted on June 11, 2010 | No Comments
Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the Allegheny, Andrew Carnegie, industrialist and founder of Carnegie Mellon (my alma mater) goes and screws it all up. This giant head is currently floating amid the feces and detritus ensconced in that mighty river and was created by artist Stephen Antonson. He designed the head by taking old pictures along with images of a 3D bust of Carnegie to a fabricator who then painstakingly built up the noggin.
