Terrafugia’s Transition
Wednesday, July 7th, 2010
Alright so it's a little bigger than a gadget, but I thought that this blog's readers would enjoy an article about Terrafugia's Transition. You have probably already heard about this "big boy toy", but just in case you have not, it is a flying car. Or maybe it's a driving plane? I think I would classify it more as the second option. Terrafugia does not want it to be called either and would like to see it called a "roadable aircraft".
Yes, at about $200,000, you too can reserve your own roadable aircraft. It is a two-seater vehicle/plane that was...
High-tech Shirts
Monday, February 15th, 2010
So, this article may be a little late in getting to you, but just because the shirts are "intended" for Valentine's Day does not mean that you have to get them for that day, right? It could be a gift that shows your love for someone or a shirt that you just want to satisfy your geeky side. It's okay, I want one, too.
What shirts am I talking about? Well, you really should buy them as a pair, but you pay for each one separately. They are about $17 a piece-- which is not to bad considering that technology...

Thursday, January 28th, 2010
After recently coming back from spending a weekend on the slopes at Sunday River in Newry, Maine, I decided to look into some skiing and boarding gadgets. I had seen people using their iPods, attaching cameras on their helmets, and even pulling out their Blackberry phones to use as trail maps. I suppose the phone is easier to pull out than a paper trail map that will rip as you open it, but this is just more proof that technology will continue to make its way to the slopes. I am personally against technology on the slopes, but unfortunately, I...
CES Week
Monday, January 11th, 2010
This year's CES week was held from January 7th-10th. CES stands for Consumer Electronics Show and is a non-public trade show held each January in Las Vegas,Nevada, and is sponsored by the Consumer Electronics Association. It is pretty much a big "geek fest" in which reviews of products are introduced and new products are announced. It is the industry's largest educational forum that helps companies expand their businesses.
Since the first CES took place in New York City in June of 1967, this event has grown ever so quickly. In 1967 there were 200 exhibitors and 17,500 attendees, but since then, this trade show...
SixthSense Technology
Friday, December 18th, 2009
Technology is advancing really fast, it's almost as if we can't keep up with its pace. I came upon a video about a new technology that blew my mind away; it's a video about the SixthSense Technology. That video gave me a glimpse of the way we will live our lives in the very near future. If you haven't heard about it, SixthSense is a wearable device that allows the user to make the physical world interact directly with the digital world. The wonder that is SixthSense Technology cannot be understood and appreciated if only seen through the...
