Posted on April 7, 2010 | No Comments
Is your StarTAC looking run down? Does it not draw the attention that it once did? It's time for an upgrade. Don't let the technology of the recent decades cloud your judgement when choosing your new phone. Think, and I mean seriously think, about the time when talking on a mobile phone was at its most impressive. That's right, all the way back to 1983. What better way to truly impress your board-room buddies than with a literal homage to the golden era of telecommunication?

Classic arcade tribute sculpture
Posted on March 29, 2010 | No CommentsThis rather nifty electronics sculpture was created by Artist Steve D’Angelo, as a homage to the classic arcade. This is what I think all synthesizers should look like. [Make: Online] -
Shavers, git-fiddles and synths, oh my
Posted on March 1, 2010 | No CommentsGood old Bill Ruppert sent us the video of his latest creation, a complete homage to “Welcome to the Machine” using only EHX pedals and an electric shaver. Crazy stuff. From the EHX post: In this episode we explore how to produce synthesizer sounds and effects from the classic Pink Floyd recording “Welcome To The Machine.“ The [...] -
Review: Praesto Modern Fliegeruhr
Posted on January 25, 2010 | No Comments
In the vast pantheon of watches, the aviator is a timeless paragon of virtue and class. Traditionally given to folks who fly in planes (hence the term "aviator"), these watches were larger than standard watches and often had big crowns for easy winding. The IWC Big Pilots Watch is a classic in the form, with the clear, legible numbers and top triangular noon pip.
But, like great paintings, watches often stray from form, and often with positive results. If the Big Pilots Watch is "Whistler's Mother" then the Praesto Modern Fliegeruhr is Warhol's Campbell's Soup cans. At once this watch is an homage, a little work of art, and a sly dig at the stuffy establishment.

If you dress better then me, you're probably going to want to check these out - smartphone cufflinks for the sharply dressed geek.

Posted on December 28, 2009 | No CommentsAlex Albrecht is on Wikipedia. Therefore, he is important. Not only that, but he also made a cool iPhone app that hit the store for just $1. Cheap.

See a Suzuki GSX-R assemble itself
Posted on December 10, 2009 | No Comments
In an homage to "Sledgehammer" video by Peter Gabriel, novice film director "Noah" and "Noah's Dad" created a stop motion video of their Suzuki motorcycle assembling itself. Stop motion video is often overlooked in this day of CGI and special effects, however it is put to very good use here.

Palm Pixi Review: Not for everyone, but it fits a niche
Posted on November 14, 2009 | No CommentsPalm and Sprint have taken a very different approach to the launch of the Pixi than they did with its slightly older and slightly brawnier brother, the Palm Pre. In the days leading up to the Pre, both parties were on full attack mode; keynotes were held, massive tradeshow booths were built, full page newspaper [...] -
My First Sony: A Tribute
Posted on October 19, 2009 | No CommentsIt’s not every day that a strange, hirsute man rewrites a Sony jingle and then dances, poorly, on his deck. This man is my friend Rick from grade school and he created this in an homage to some stupid tapes we did as kids in my basement. While it is clear that Rick has grown physically, [...] -
Review: JVC Everio X GZ-X900
Posted on July 31, 2009 | No CommentsWhat is the Everio X GZ-X900? Is it a pocket camcorder like a Flip? Is it a fully-fledged video camera? Is it a YouTube-uploading device?

Olympus Camera Packs SLR Aspirations in Compact Body
Posted on June 16, 2009 | No CommentsCombine the large sensor and interchangeable lenses of a digital SLR with the compact portability of a point-and-shoot, and you get something that looks a lot like the Olympus E-P1. Cute, isn’t it? The E-P1 is a design homage to the Olympus Pen F, so unofficially Olympus is calling it the “Digital Pen,” which seems like a [...] -
App Turns iPhone into Star Trek Communicator
Posted on June 11, 2009 | No CommentsThe Star Trek communicator was arguably the original cellphone, and clearly the model for Motorola’s Startac (even the name was a thinly disguised homage). The iPhone, in turn, is obviously the closest thing us 21st century humans have to the technology of the future. It fits, then, that there should be an application which turns [...] -
What’s in a Name? IPhone ]|[ G S
Posted on June 11, 2009 | No CommentsWhat’s going on at Apple? Here at Gadget Lab we’re subscribing to the Sorcerer’s Apprentice theory: that Steve Jobs steps away from the Cupertino campus for a few months and the monkeys take over, playing all the pranks they can get away with before the boss gets back to work. Exhibit A: The name of the new iPhone. [...]
