Technorama

Once upon a time there were two podcasters. They were podcasting through the wooded path to grandmother’s house when all of the sudden the big bad corporate wolf jumped out and said, “Sell me your podcast or I will eat you both”. The podcasters looked at each other and realized that the big bad corporate wolf didn’t know what a podcast was and they offered him their iPod. He took it and ran. He thought he had won. The podcasters knew better.

Texting From Beyond the Grave

Personal Rosetta Stone

I’m guessing this is the perfect gift for those who really, REALLY have to get in the last word. Now you can send a text message from your Personal RosettaStone headstone over RFID.

Earth icon for Rosetta Stone. Identifies your planet of origin.

You gotta admire this company’s forward thinking. They offer free engraving of up to six symbols on the physical face of your RosettaStone. And one of those symbols can be your planet of origin.

F1 Simulator

Posted on March 11, 2010 by Kreg Steppe

I once had a friend that was trying to create a flight simulator out of spare parts. A computer with 3 monitors and a cockpit made of an old Van Seat and parts from a big satellite dish. Yea, it sounds odd and was stationary but it worked mostly. I think that my friend needed wanted something more like this though.

I don’t know about you, but I can totally see myself in the Gun torrent on the Millennium Falcon picking off Tie Fighters.
