Electronic Jewelry is da Bomb! by Cecilia on 2008/8/25 20:21:54 (109) |
 These days USB flash drives are as ubiquitous as air. Nearly Everything is USB....flash drives pouring out of every email computer ad you get...you can't cross the street without tripping over a flash drive. They rain down from the skies! So, it should come as no surprise that they can also come as fashion accessories. sourcingmap.com makes a whole array of styles and colors. Let's start with the "simple" one first, a nice black COOL-LOOK USB Wristband. Slip in on and go to the office with your data carried in a handy (or is that "wristy") wrapper. They also come as heart charms, necklaces, Cigarette Windproof Lighters, and even "Multifunction Ball Pen 1GB USB Flash Drive with Scissors and Knife Set". Wow! File this under, "What will they Think of Next???!!!" |

MyVu Personal Media Player (Universal Edition) Review by Kermit on 2008/7/22 15:51:13 (401) |
 Written by Haydn
The MyVu Personal Media Player is actually a set of video glasses that, when plugged into a media player (such as a portable DVD player, video iPod, etc, will give the illusion that you are looking at a much larger screen in a dark room. The glasses can be used with a most portable dvd players, iPod, Zune, Archos, and video cameras. The illusion definitely works but, if you want to use these in public, you have an extremely high likelyhood of being mistaken for Star Trek's Geordi La Forge or X-Men's Cyclops. Can this portable video display justify the $150 price tag and possible social repercussions? |

An iMovie in Your Pocket by Cecilia on 2008/7/9 1:11:09 (467) |
 It used to be that when you told people you were "going to the Theatre" they assumed you were going to the local bijou. While I still think there is some merit to the social ambiance of sharing a film with friends in front of the Big Screen, we now have the option of a more personal experience. Enter, iMovee! With these 'video glasses' you get your own Personal, Movable, Portable Theatre. Click on the thumbnails for much larger images. iMovee has two models that are available Right Now! |

iMuffs by Wi-Gear: Stereo Bluetooth Headphones For iPod and by Devin on 2008/6/10 23:51:14 (728) |
 Bluetooth as we currently know it, has carved a very important spot in the mobile world; some would even call it essential. Its main goal has remained true over the years: world domination by replacing those old-fashioned wires. This of course would mean replacing every type cable imaginable, through which data is passed, including audio, using the Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) as defined by the Bluetooth SIG. Using the very same A2DP profile, Wi-Gear has developed a sleek, ergonomically-designed set of wireless headphones for the IPod and Bluetooth enabled phones called the iMuffs. |

The Smallest Microwave, iWave Cube, Makes Big Waves by Cecilia on 2008/6/10 13:44:06 (682) |
 Necessity is the Mother of Invention. One morning Phil Davis wanted to do a hot towel treatment before a shave. He figured a small microwave in the bathroom would do the trick. So, from a tiny acorn of an idea sprang a tiny microwave. From his previous entrepreneurial skills developing a line of aluminum-free children's deodorant, Davis knew he had to research microwave technology.
A chance meeting with Mike Maczuzak - president of Smartshape Design Corp - helped Davis with the original design of the iWave Cube. The final design features a built-in carry handle that makes it perfect for tailgate parties and picnics. It has all the electronic controls and safety features you would expect, and it plugs in anyplace that has a standard outlet. It's quiet, super-energy-efficient, measures just 10" x 10.5" x 12" and weighs only 12 lbs. The iWave Cube input is 600 Watts. |

Found Art - The Picasso Concept by Cecilia on 2008/6/4 3:14:44 (682) |
 The story goes that one day Picasso was walking around and saw pieces of a bicycle in a junk yard. He picked up the seat and the handlebars and brought them back to his studio. Once there he mounted the pieces so that the seat "became" a head and the handlebars "became" the horns on this animal head. And so ART from garbage was born.
Years later I would often walk around New York and if I spied something dropped on the ground - some chain or a random mental - I would pocket it and save it for later examination. At home I would rummage through my junk and see if I could put it together in some interesting jewelry. Sometimes I would add chainmail that I created as part of the design. ART from garbage. |
