My Father’s Day gift was one of those little Air Hogs Havoc Heli RC helicopters. I’ll cut to the chase: buy the darn thing. Best $30 you can spend, and they’re available at your local Walmart or on thinkgeek.com. My kids love it, my cats love it, and I love it. It takes a little [...]

So I guess the question is “When do we actually get to buy these for our nerdy cubes?”
While I appreciate all the cool designs, people, let’s work on actually getting some stuff to production. Where we won’t buy it, because we’re cheap and lazy.
While I’m on the topic of nifty designs (see last post), check out this sweet Gear Clock.
It’s not exactly the most precise clock, having only a single “time ring” which rotates around as the gears move. But it sure is nifty looking. And although you may not want to rely on it in [...]
So it comes to this - Guitar Hero Robot
Published by March 20th, 2007 in Gadgets and Games. 4 CommentsAs if I needed to be shown up in Guitar Hero any more than I already am daily on YouTube. While there are humans with wonderful skills, now we get the chance to test ourselves, John Henry-style, against a machine. Unfortunately, this fellow has no fact to melt, and so faces disqualification from most respected [...]
More Star Wars - Yoda’s Force FX Lightsaber
Published by March 15th, 2007 in Gadgets and Random. 0 Comments We’re big fans of Master Replicas here at ModStomp, and their green sabers really stand out with nice blades. I felt the hilt for the RotJ Luke saber was a little lame, though, so this is a really nice turn for them to take.
These are pricey collectables, but they’re also among the nicest toys [...]
Garmin eTrex Venture Cx Review
Published by February 14th, 2007 in Gadget Reviews, Gadgets and Reviews. 3 Comments Well, I didn’t see a ton of reviews out there for this gadget when I was shopping, so I thought I’d post my thoughts in case others were interested. So far, I’ve had it for a day or so, and I’m pleased.
The eTrex Venture Cx is the entry level mapping GPS from Garmin. The [...]
PSP Faceplate Mod
Published by January 28th, 2007 in Case Mods, Console Reviews, Consoles and Gadgets. 0 CommentsI’ve never been one to live in fear of voiding my warranty, so when I heard about a way to potentially destroy my PSP, I was all ears. The result is visible in the picture. I got sick of wiping off fingerprints, so I picked up a flat black faceplate from DecalGirl. To add a [...]
I contemplated on my drive home and realized I’d forgotten a couple of oddballs from those early years. Here are some of those for you, with some emphasis on Windows CE clamshells and similar systems. Keep in mind that at one time or another I owned each of the machines shown here and in the [...]
I’ve owned a lot of PDAs in my life. Ever since the first Palm Pilots came out I’ve been fascinated by them. I’ve always been a contrarian, though, so while I’ve owned a few Palms, I’ve never had them long. My history is a long and strange one. Click on through for pictures and summaries.
So I got the shiny new U10 a couple of weeks ago, and all were amazed by the wonder and beauty of it. The dock is a near-perfect implementation, and my only gripes with the player are the sort of sluggish menus, no album art (I like album art, sue me), and the small [...]
