Form over function: Brinell Purestorage external drives
Posted on March 29, 2010 | No Comments
I understand the desire to have your computer stuff look good, really I do. But things like this are just silly to me. They are obviously pointed at a market that doesn't know any better, and buy things based on the appearance rather then the functionality. Brinell, the company that makes these fancy veneer clad drives, has even won a couple of design awards for their form over function.

RetroCrunch: The Bloc-Alarm door stop
Posted on January 22, 2010 | No Comments
Going to try something a bit different today, and talk about some retro technology. Here's a rather simple gadget called a Bloc-Alarm. Intended for the cheapskate who doesn't want to actually pay for an alarm service, or for someone that is staying in a hotel, the Bloc-Alarm is basically a wedge shaped door block that triggers if someone tries to open a door.

Does anyone in tech pay attention to unemployment numbers? Hard to buy that new gizmo when you don’t have a job, right?
Posted on November 6, 2009 | No CommentsWriting about tech is so peculiar. On one hand we're expected to be enthusiastic about the things we cover; no one wants to see us being negative and dismissive about every little thing. That's no fun. On the other hand, you don't want a bunch of ninnies bleating on about how great this year's piece of plastic is compared to last year's. How is that useful to anyone? A bit of skepticism is necessary so we don't come across as cheerleaders for this or that company, or for this or that device. You can't be objective if you worship the ground that the two Steves—Jobs and Ballmer—walk on.

The F1Showcar simulator is kind of cool
Posted on July 26, 2009 | No CommentsI don’t know how I feel about this $44,990 F1 simulator. On one hand, it’s a fraking F1 car mounted on top of a motion simulating gizmo. You turn left in the game, the car shifts left. How cool is that? Plus, it’s a Vodafone-sponsored car so you can be just like Lewis Hamilton. But doesn’t it [...] -
Cheap, Six-In-One Flash Mod Kit Looks Very Handy
Posted on July 17, 2009 | No CommentsOh Brando! Junky plastic spy gear and novelty toys flow from your throat like a stream of Sky Mall regurgitation. Once in a while, though, a gem can be panned from the dirty silt of your catalog. And one of those times is now. Brando’s six-in-one flash set is distinguished by two things.

SwissMiniGun is World’s Smallest Revolver
Posted on July 15, 2009 | No CommentsThe SwissMiniGun is officially the smallest gun in the world.

Pump-Rechargeable Air-Horn Great for Tourist-Scaring
Posted on July 14, 2009 | No CommentsThe $30 Ecoblaster is a rechargeable Air Horn. It is also something I need, and I need right now. But first, let me explain why.
