When I got this airplane in the mail, I was shocked that this little tiny thing can actually fly. I am happy to say that this little airplane not only flew, but flew very well even outside where I tested it. Let’s go over all the pieces of this plane. The plane itself is constructed [...]

Review: SphereXYZ
Next year the Rubix Cube turns 30, so the fact that I was working part-time in a retail department store to support school / books / music / games / friends/ etc when it came out means a couple of things. First it means that there is a certain nostalgia attached to the Cube. OK, [...]
Lego Headlamp with dual adjustable footlights
This Lego Headlamp with dual action “foot lights” would be the perfect device for a children’s doctor to use in the examining room. If you’re a true geek at heart you could also wear it trick or treating but only if you want your kids to stay way far away! It clips to any headgear [...]
Not your grandmother’s Russian nesting dolls
The Gadgether.com has compiled a really interesting list of 25 of the most untraditional Russian Nesting Dolls you’ll ever come across. This list spans touches the geekier side of all us but the dolls stay true to a form that would do grandma proud. The list includes Star Wars, Star Trek, The Linux Penguin, Batman, [...]
Legos Falling Down – On Your Desktop
In this month’s issue of Mac Life I spotted a write up on three different shareware screen savers. One in particular caught my eye. I’m willing to bet if you’re a gadget head now as an adult chances are as a child you played with Legos. I know I did! I think my mother still [...]
WowWee Flytech Bladestar for the Intrepid Aviator
Oh to be one of those geeks who can effortlessly start up a remote control helicopter and make it fly, but alas. When I play with those type toys I am the one who will almost always immediately crash and burn…assuming I can even get lift off. It’s okay, though; I have found a flying [...]
The WowWee Alive Lion Cub Review
When I was a child, I absolutely loved stuffed animals; I had such a massive collection residing on my bed that they threatened to push me off should I stretch out or roll over in the middle of the night. One of my fondest wishes at that time was that some of my favorite stuffed [...]
The Stereo Mini Portable Sound Box from USB Fever REVIEW
A couple of months back, I asked my LEGO friends Beetle and Maynard with their girlfriends Sunshine and Faith to check out the new Fingertip Mini Cube Speaker that Thomas at USB Fever sent from overseas. (see the review: Make Some Music) Sunshine: “We were looking for an upgrade to a dual speaker setup. It [...]
Hava Gold Review
I first heard about the Sling Box on Mobility Today. Dave Ciccone was in the process of reviewing a beta version of WM Sling Box client, and posted a video review of what he was looking at. I thought that the idea of a Sling Box was right on the money: I’m in a strange [...]
The Ugobe Pleo Robotic Dinosaur Review
When I was a kid, my parents bought me my first robot. Except this was in the early 70s, so it wasn’t a real robot – it was a fuzzy effigy, a mechanized kitten thing. The kitten was tethered by co-joined wires to a long battery box which also served as a remote control. It [...]
Make some music: The Fingertip Mini Cube Speaker REVIEW
Good things do come in small packages. I asked my LEGO friends Beetle and Maynard with their girlfriends Sunshine and Faith to check out the new Fingertip Mini Cube Speaker that Thomas at USB Fever sent from overseas. Beetle: “As sound technicians for the Best Little LEGO Band from Nashville, we got frustrated with the [...]
Unboxing the Ugobe Pleo
It seems like I have been waiting forever to get my hands on the Ugobe Pleo, the robotic baby dinosaur that I first read about on my way home from CES 2007. A year has passed and even though Wal-Mart canceled my Pleo order right before Christmas, in the end Ugobe came through with a [...]
The Best Lil’ Lego Band from Nashville rocks on
When one thinks about the massive undertaking it takes to set up a concert tour and the amount of gear that a band takes on the road, it boggles the mind. Besides the band of musicians and a drummer, it takes lots of hands to pull off a concert every night. There are tour and [...]
Johnny Lightning’s V_Bot Review
At the same time that Gear Diary was approached to review the Johnny Lightning Battle Wheels, we were also invited to review the V_Bot. What is the V_Bot? Well, here is a clipping from the email describing it: “V_Bot, the new high-tech hero, transforms from a sleek street vehicle into a giant robot loaded with [...]
Hauppauge WinTV-HVR 950 Review
Sometimes, I need to have white noise playing in the background in order to be able to concentrate. This can take the form of music (CD, MP3′s etc), radio (Internet or other), or the TV. Sometimes, the simple sound of the air circulating in the room that I’m in can be deafening, and just too [...]
