I remember jamming an adapter into my tape deck years ago to make it possible to play CDs in my beat up first car. Of course I had the really bad portable CD player, the one that whenever you hit a bump it made the song skip. Now if you own a car that doesn’t have a CD player, you can still use that old tape deck for good. Just plug in the iDeck and instead of tapes you’ll be listening to your iPod as you go down the road. Luckily unlike the very old portable CD players you won’t have to worry about your driving causing the music to skip.

I’d say that this isn’t likely to get picked up by a whole lot of iPod users, since surely they’d have a better stereo in their car that wouldn’t require this. However, my 1999 vehicle has only a tape deck, the thing doesn’t even have a CD player, so I understand the need. If you want to pick up one it’ll cost you $39.99 through Amazon.

I suppose that as a parent, I am proud of what my children can do. I’ve found that once they learn to walk and talk, they start doing things that are impressive to them but mundane to us. For example, standing on one foot.

Sure, we humans can probably stand on the left or right leg interchangeably without even thinking about it, so you might not think it too impressive that we have a robot that can do the same thing. Read the rest of this entry »

This stylus could be one of the biggest around. That’s right, that is what you are seeing here, a stylus for the Nintendo DS, not a flashlight.

However, what you are seeing is true about the projection of Buzz Lightyear on the wall. I’m sure this is a definite tie-in with the release of Toy Story 3, which I believe is sometime in June. I’ve seen the preview, and this is the one where Buzz goes back to his “I actually think I’m the real Buzz Lightyear”, but he is in Spanish. Just watch it if you don’t believe me.

Image and video hosting by TinyPicMy Source states that this Roller Buggy could be a bad idea, and I’m not certain. As someone who has a lot of log time pushing a baby or two around in a stroller, I could use something to make it easier.

I guess the worry is that having an adult parent scoot their baby about brings up a lot of safety issues. I suppose that is why this is a concept for now.

I mean, they have those streamlined strollers with the three wheels that go along with the fluid motion of a bicycle. Why not combine a baby stroller, which usually are with clunky big wheels, into something like a skateboard? Read the rest of this entry »
