  • Rick Moody goes nuts over the Kindle

    Rick Moody goes nuts over the Kindle

    I liked the Ice Storm. It was a good book and movie. I also like Rick Moody. Clearly the Moodster was expecting too much of Amazon when he cracked open his Kindle and immediately expected his device to contain the wisdom of the ages including content by Grace Paley and Stanley Elkin. Sure, the Kindle [...]

    The DuinoTagger and Talcapult

    Like a ’70s cop team – one is the goodie two shoes and the other one is the drunk – the DuinoTagger and Talcapult allow you to shoot things and make smoke appear. The gun uses an Arduino board to control a tiny catapult that blows out a little puff of smoke. The instructions are pretty [...]

  • Don’t shop drunk: Verizon’s $350 ETF is now live

    Don’t shop drunk: Verizon’s $350 ETF is now live

    Filed under:

    Just a word of caution to anyone out there with an itchy credit card finger: signing up for a contract with Verizon just became a considerably more binding affair thanks to a big boost of its contract early termination fee from $175 to $350. Rumored for a few days now, the change became official as of yesterday, which means that anyone who bought an "advanced device" prior to the 14th is in the clear. The advanced device list can be found on Verizon's site, and as you might expect, it's a little broad and ridiculous -- winners like the Versa, Exilim, and Glyde are on there, so they're obviously not just referring to smartphones. They throw you a bone by reducing the ETF by a stout $10 for every month of the contract you successfully hurdle, but that still leaves you with a $120 ETF 23 months into a 24-month deal... so yeah, just be careful out there and don't do anything rash, alright?

    North America to get black Wii remotes, not the black Wii – yet

    Nintendo! What are you doing? Don't get us wrong, it's great that you're shipping the black Wii remote to North America sometime this month. Our white ones are getting kind of dingy after a couple years of drunk Wii bowling. But what do we have to do to get the black Wii?
