For my 3rd video, inspiration came to me while I was listening to my 80′s music and browsing my picture collection. When I clicked onto my head crashed hard drive pictures… the idea for my next video came to me when the song “It’s the End of the World as We Know It”, by REM [...]
The Brando USB Audio Controller Review
When you’ve got a computer without sound support or perhaps it is broken, what do you do? If its a desktop computer, you could pop its lid and install a sound card in one of its slots. But if its a laptop/notebook computer, there are no expansion slots to put in a sound card. There [...]
The HobbyTron RC AH-64 Apache RTF 4 CH Electric Helicopter Review
RC (radio controlled) vehicles are a very cool thing. I have owned many ready to drive RC cars, big ones to the tiny micro ones. Those RC cars are lots of fun, but when you’ve got an RC vehicle that can fly… it is an extreme world of difference, being much more cool and more [...]

The Mathmos Thaw Review
When I heard about fire and ice coexisting together in the form of the Thaw made by Mathmos and sold by ThinkGeek, I was very curious as to what really goes on inside the shiny silver casing of the Thaw. Up until now, I never heard of putting fire and ice together in any form. [...]
Ninja’s Serving Up Food?
Last time we saw the strangest restaurant. Next we have what I would have to say is the coolest restaurant… a Ninja theme restaurant. Yes, that’s right - Ninja’s! We all know how cool Ninja’s are, from all the movies and the most famous Ninja of all, Batman (see ‘Batman Begins’, if you dont know)… but [...]
The Multi-Color LED Flashlight Review
What a long way�we have come, fire, torches, oil lanterns, and then the common everyday flashlights we all use. The flashlight to me is a neat human invention, a battery source running a bulb all mounted inside a portable casing so that you would never have to be stuck in the dark. The 21st century [...]

Not For the Faint-Hearted…Consider Yourself Warned

[Ed. Note: If you have one, be responsible when you play with your laser. Joe has passed on these articles that show what can happen when you are having some "innocent" laser fun.] Powerful lasers, a thing that only used to be found in sci-fi movies and TV shows and in the arsenal of the [...]
The ThinkGeek USB Snowbot Review
Oh the winter holidays are here again. I was feeling festive this year and was planning on buying one of them light up USB Snowmen from ThinkGeek to bring some holiday cheer to my computer workstation.

The Case Logic 6 Capacity USB Drive Shuttle Review
While I was at CompUSA one day… I came across the USB flash drive case made by Case Logic (model JDC6). Case Logic calls it the “Case Logic“. I thought what a neat idea.
