I thought I’d try out the Eye-Fi Explore Video, and this is what happened. Read all about it here.
You know how those peepholes on your front door distort everyone’s face? Perhaps you might like the Digital Peephole Viewer.
Those of you who want a phone on your wristwatch might want to get in on the Kempler and Strauss W PhoneWatch.
Hopefully, you have seen the film Minority Report, where Tom Cruise has those special gloves to interface with a giant screen in front of him. To this day, I still want the computer he was using.
A company called Funai has developed similar technology with a projector that can actually recognize the user’s finger movements.
So, like Tom Cruise, you can make gesturing for rotating, zooming, and flicking through projecting images. Apparently, it uses a special new sensor for this technology.
I never thought I would see the day when the basic concept of learning how to ride a bike could be improved. Then along comes technology and utterly blows my thought process away.
In this case, it is the Gyrowheel. This is a front bicycle wheel that has a battery powered spinning disc inside that creates gyroscopic precession force that can balance the wheel like it was on a Segway. Check it out in the video.
The other day, my wife and I were watching the premiere of Trauma. There was a guy behind the wheel texting to someone. Considering the amount of press that texting while driving has been getting lately, I knew what was next.
Sure enough, there was an accident caused by this careless man. Oddly enough, I wanted this texting while driving guy (which I’m sure was his character’s name on the credits) to die. Yes, from the moment I saw this character texting while driving, I hated him.
It didn’t matter if this man was the most unselfish man in the world. As it was, the man was sending a sexually suggestive text message. However, it wouldn’t have mattered if that message was for his wife, and this man was the most faithful married man in the world. I wanted this man to be killed in the accident, and I will have to admit that I was disappointed that it never happened.
You may think of me as ruthless, and I understand. I have heard so much press about texting while driving, that I look at texting drivers like the eighties looked at druggies.
In short, texting behind the wheel is “bad”. In most states, it is banned, or going to be banned.
Fortunately, there is now some software that will stop people from doing it. It is called TXTBlocker, and it can be installed on phones to prevent texts, emails, and even calls from going out, if the phone is traveling over 5 miles per hour.
