These days, it seems like there’s all kinds of ways of tracking your exercising if you’re doing such relatively straight-forward activities as running or walking (viz. the FitBit).

iKazoo is on IndieGoGo
Back in December I wrote about an intriguing new controller called the iKazoo, which I described as an ‘everything controller’, since it has dual breath controllers, multiple touch sensors, accelerometers, and so on.

And given that we’re in the middle of National Novel Writing Month (#NaNoWriMo, in case you’ve been wondering what the heck that hash tag on Twitter is for), letting [...]
ioSafe Turns to Indiegogo to Help Fund the “Disaster-Proof Private Cloud”
We’ve long been fans of ioSafe. We’ve spent time with them as they burnt, crushed and soaked hard drives. We’ve seen the drives abused with shocking results.
