Envue by Burnes

Posted by Jim as Cool Stuff

Well... it's memorial day weekend and where do I go... Walmart! LOL. My mom's birthday is fast approaching and so I thought there must be a sale going on so might as well take advantage of that. Turns out that I was right, there is a Memorial Day weekend sale at Walmart. Grabbed Envue by Burnes for mom. She's not a techie but I'm hoping that this small gadget would introduce her to our wonderful world. My plan... stuff it with old photos that I'm sure she's missing. Haven't loaded it up yet, but I'm sure with the 2GB memory card I'll use it'll surely fill it ...

WTF lamp

Posted by Jim as Engineering

Well... I honestly said that. What could you do if you find something that's made for "opposite day". It sure is fun to see your friend's eyes to roll up when he switches this lamp on and find the base light up! This is still in its design stage... by John Nouanesing. Have a look at his website and you'd see a lot of promising stuff all waiting to roll out. I just love it when engineering designers think out of the box. There's no predicting what the world will see next. While it may be a little "blinding" to use, I guess in ...

New Studio Series iP1 iPod/iPhone audio system

Posted by Jim as Accessories, Cool Stuff

This is probably one of the coolest iPod dock from the iHome camp. The iHome Studio Series iP1 has definitely landed this terrific design by using transparent pane of lucite as it's front panel. There has been much hype about this model for the past months, we sure are happy that it's finally coming about by July with an initial price of US$300. We like the slick industrial design feel of the iP1 dock, that's for sure. This will spark up the office, or the den... the bedroom (?), definitely. We do not have any reviews regarding performance and sound quality, from what we heard about specs... ...

Belkin releases new in-vehicle chargers

Posted by Jim as Apple, Cars, Gadgets

For the past weeks I've been taking my small "movie breaks" in the car while the wife is doing the weekly grocery trip. Not a big fan of walking around Pick and Save and would rather sit in to watch my favorite film. The downside of this is when I forget to charge my iPod, and I'm left hanging in the middle of my viewing. I've been hunting Amazon and Ebay for an iPod charger or adaptor for my car for the past two months now and, well, I've seen stuff BUT wasn't really sure if it would really work (read as "safe to use" for the iPod and my ...

The Livio Radio

Posted by Jim as Cool Stuff

I love Pandora.com, and any technology that will revolve around it will certainly deserve a big hug! When I first heard of the Livio Radio I literally have been hunting to test it out. Alas... every gadget shop or mall from where I am hasn't even heard of it yet. The Livio Radio certainly does make "internet radio" cool. With it you can have access to Pandora.com and over 1,000+ internet radio broadcasts. You don't need your PC anymore, just set it up to talk to your wifi signals and you're off to a wonderful bliss of music. I've known many a situation where I'd like to ...

Lacie’s “Rugged XL”

Posted by Jim as Accessories

It's too late for me, I've purchased my Seagate FreeAgent drive. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy Seagate, but if Lacie had given me a hint that they would release "Rugged XL", I would have waited. I think it's just too stylish than FreeAgent. Besides, I could really live without the stand... what was Seagate thinking! :) Lacie has recently introduced their 1TB model dubbed as "Rugged XL". Noticeable is that familiar design by Neil Poulton. It's not all form though... it's tough too. It's a performance hard drive with Hi-Speed USB and eSATA interfaces. Built for the rugged user indeed as it is ...

The iPanda

Posted by Jim as Cool Stuff

The iPanda by Speakal is an iPod dock system that stands out. Design-wise this is all too cute versus the traditional iPod docks. I'd say it's a perfect addition to your kid's iPod gift. Their room will definitely enjoy the music. The iPanda's 2.1 stereo speaker system isn't too shabby and occupies little room on a table-top.

Mini Marshall Amplifier

Posted by Jim as Accessories

A tiny reproduction of the real thing, this is the Marshall half-stack style amp speaker. If you're a band member or at least a fan of a rock band, this would be a great addition to your room. You've always been in the hunt for speakers that complement with your room's design, well this is it. I'm guessing nothing would speak louder "I'm in a band" than this. It's available right here for about US$65. It stands a little over 5 inches high and is easily portable so you can plug and play just about anywhere. There is a clip fastened to its back that allows you ...

Fashionable and elegant... I think this is one of the prettiest electronic jewelry around. You really couldn't tell that this is also a 2GB drive right?

ECOLight shower cabin light

Posted by Jim as Accessories, Cool Stuff

Definitely a gadget that has great sense and function. Everyone showers everyday (well, I think so), and that water pressure sure is an energy source, even to just light up the bath area. There's no sense turning on any other light anyway. Now that times are tough, these little geniuses are important. We may not end up using any of them, but it sure does "spark" the noble and needed idea of saving power. The ECOlight by Sylvania is a water-powered LED shower head. Designed to cater to a sustainable lifestyle, the light comes with temperature sensors. The LED glows blue for temperatures less than 78 degrees Fahrenheit ...
