KarrySafe Phone Safe Pouch
This is a neat little pouch that goes on your wrist to carry your mobile phone or other tech-goodie close at hand (pun intended). Be great if someone had trouble reaching to get the device – plus it keeps it safe from ‘snatchers’.

Retro LED Watch
Take me back to the 70s! This cool looking retro watch caught my attention the other day. It’s a watch with the old LEDs for the numbers that would give anyone old enough to remember the first calculators a warm glow inside them – c’mon, admit it! The thought I had was how much easierContinueContinue reading “Retro LED Watch”
Redistribution of power
Over on bokardo blog, Joshua Porter quotes Doc Searls about the disruptive nature of blogs: One of the main points we made in The Cluetrain Manifesto, way back in 1999, was that the real revolution with the Net was not an increase in the power of supply, but an increase in the power of demand.ContinueContinue reading “Redistribution of power”

OS X and Powerbooks make life easier on the eyes
Anyone who knows me will know I started my life with computers with a 128k Mac in 1984. My work, revolving around Windows boxes has dragged me away from my first-love, and as work just sprung for another new Box, it’s not likely they’ll spring for a Mac as well. So unless I get aContinueContinue reading “OS X and Powerbooks make life easier on the eyes”

Is sticky icky?
Doc Searles writes on Friday, December 9, 2005 …… There’s an ‘icky’ in ‘sticky’. Just a thought. …… He doesn’t eloborate on icky comment. But I sense a derogatory meaning. Perhaps he’s referring to ‘sticky’ having the connotation of being stuck, therefore not moving or ‘distributed’. Who knows. I wish he’d elaborate.

RSS Toilet Paper Dispenser?
Okay so we’re seeing a flurry of RSS based activity lately but this is just silly. A rss toilet paper dispenser? Is this a ‘wipe 2.0’ app? It certainly adds new meaning to the concept of a stickynote! Is it April 1st?

Podhat
Akihabara News had a post on a Motorcycle helmet with integrated music. It evidently uses a technology called “Bone conduction” and the sound was transferred via your skull. Okay. Neat idea. But my mate Fang kludged together his own ‘Podhat’ by wiring his mp3 player on his hat and letting the earbuds dangle down. NowContinueContinue reading “Podhat”
