Most people hear the word “card” and associate it with business (business cards), with celebrations for special occasions (greetings cards), or with failing grades (report cards). Few will actually relate “card” to something as far-fetched as, let’s say, self-defense.… |

GoPro HD Hero2: More Heroic than the Hero
 |
I have been using a GoPro HD Hero Motorsports edition camcorder for a long time now for filming the fun I have down at the race track. The little cameras shoot great video and still shots, even if the menu of the original is hard to use. GoPro has announced… |

I have seen a bunch of watches over the years that are mechanical action units where you don’t need to wind them and they don’t need batteries. These watches are the sort where the motion of your arms as you move around keeps the watch wound up. A new watch… |

Pixelated Mario Cushion: For Japan’s Club Nintendo Only of Course
 |
Sometimes I really hate how Nintendo treats us Americans. The Japanese Club Nintendo gets all manner of cooler items compared to what we get. It’s not fair, and yes I’m whining. Why? Because I can’t get my hands on this Dot Mario Cushion.… |

 |
Now who hasn’t dreamed of having the Midas touch, and possessing the ability to turn whatever they touched into gold? Obviously, there are a lot of downsides to it (like you could accidentally turn the people you love into, well, solid gold), but that doesn’t mean there aren’t individuals who… |

Solar Ship: Air Ships Taking To the Skies with the Power of the Sun
 |
I just love airships. I wish I could travel all over the world in an blimp. Sure, it would take longer than a 777, but it would be way more relaxing. I wish that there would be airships all over the place, kind of like in the TV show Fringe… |
