I was shopping on ThinkGeek the other day, and had some points to have this thrown in with my order. Either that, or it was cheap enough that I thought I’d throw it in the cart. Me no remember so good none.
Anyhoo, everyone hates those crazy impossible packages, right? Here’s where the IRONY [...]

The Sad State of Smartphone Software
Published by October 17th, 2007 in Gadgets, Random and Software. 0 CommentsI was going through my blogs today and stumbled on a note from the guys at Smartphone Thoughts. I like these guys, but again, it was a plug for a piece of software they hadn’t tried, in the vein of “looks kinda neat - anyone try it?”. This brought me over to the best-seller list [...]
Zarch’s Gear: Garmin nüvi® 360 GPS
Published by October 13th, 2007 in Gadget Reviews, Gadgets and Reviews. 0 CommentsI know the question you’re all asking. “Zarch, you live 1.3 miles from your job. You live in Utah, where all the streets are laid out as a numbered grid. You have two other means of GPS navigation. WTH?” To that, I answer, I am a gadget admirer, and I constantly seek the gadget [...]
Zarch’s Gear: My Watch: Casio MTG930DA
Published by September 24th, 2007 in Gadget Reviews, Gadgets and Reviews. 0 Comments This one’s been on my wrist for years now. I’ve had gadget watches that I wear for fun (I have a binary LED watch, and I had a Pimp Watch for a while too, and a couple of slick retro-looking Spoons), but this one is the old standby.
So what makes a great nerd [...]
Zarch’s Gear: A New Series About My Stuff
Published by September 22nd, 2007 in Gadget Reviews, Gadgets, Hardware and Hardware Reviews. 0 CommentsI thought it might be of interest to post about the gadgets that accompany me in my day to day life. I’m a gadget whore, you might say, always looking for another fix of the latest crap that comes out. That’s why the stuff that sticks around might provide some interest: if a device survives [...]
Scott over at ExtraLife.com posted this fun and enlightening video today and I thought I’d share. I haven’t tried this myself yet, but you can bet that I’m going to. This hack is just too good to pass up.
And this one is the sexiest so far, at least from this angle. Engadget has the goods on this one; looks like it’s got its own proprietary wireless signal, so they’re thinking there will be no lag. Also, they’ve got a couple of variants, one straight optical, and one laser. The optical mouse they’re aiming at FPS [...]
New Contender in the Mouse Debates
Published by August 23rd, 2007 in Gadgets, Games and Hardware. 0 CommentsRudeboy and I have different taste in mice, but we share one thing: a fancy mouse won’t buy you any extra frags. Now, granted, you’re not going to get a lot of kills if you’re playing with your laptop’s trackpad or little eraser-thingy pointer. But I’ve almost always been happy with an ancient two-button optical [...]
Here at the Modstomp Manor we’ve got a hankering for tiny mp3 players. I go through about 6 a week. With that in mind, watch for me to pick up one of these in the next couple of weeks. Gizmodo has some details on the new Zen Stone Plus in all its tiny OLED glory, [...]
So we’ve been hearing a lot about Apple and one of their new products. Some might even go so far as too say there’s a little “hype”, or, if you will, “excitement” in the Apple fanboy community about the upcoming iPhone, whatever the hell that is.
For some of us, one post with features, pricing, and [...]
