I’ve been using the bowls I ordered from Verterra — the dishes made from pressed leaves – for a couple of weeks now. They’re sold as disposable, but can be hand-washed and reused without much issue. They’ll warp a little as they dry, but they tend to retain their essential bowlness. I’ve even heated up [...]

Music is the heartbeat of our splendor. Each of our marches are developed by a quorum of Infomercia’s finest emotional engineers who spend years carving each precision inspiration out of a block of solid white noise, leaving only the poignant and potent sonics for you to consume. And consume them you must, not just at [...]

The biggest update to the new MacBooks—on the inside anyway—is their graphical muscle, which has been hooked up with some Barry Bonds-level steroids. Apple ditched Intel’s crummy…

What I find most interesting about Ron Van Der Ende’s wooden replicas of everyday objects is now how well crafted they may be — very well crafted! — but how much the end results end up looking like Impressionist paintings when photographed.
Not all of his work is of plebeian items, though. He’s done some Apollo [...]

Strange times, these. Threatened by frightening yet strangely thrilling interlopers whose unseen, cat-like tongues abrasively thrill up and down my once turgid umbilical until strange and previously unknown ideas spurt molten-like into my brain… in these strange times, I think we can all use a comforting hug.
This is what Elmo is for. Infomercia has [...]

The primogenitor of that Infomerican delicacy the “flip phone”, Motorola, has unveiled to one lucky citizen its latest — and dare I say most attractive — innovation: the Krave ZN4, which eschews the now retrograde opacity of previous ear-arms for the crystaline transparency that will define this week’s geegaw couture. Why spend any longer wondering [...]

This tiny Tomy Robo-Q may be our world’s smallest and most affordable bipedal robot, but that doesn’t mean it does pack a lot of love: the Robo-Q scores a whopping eighteen puppies on the Skinner Empathy Index.
Available in only allied source countries for the moment, the remote-controlled joybot can also use on-board sensors to detect [...]

All Infomercian citizens, please be advised: there is a general recall in effect of August 13th’s Compulsory Woot!, the Puncture-Proof Pegasus Pleasure Plate. MiniMac’s latest consumer studies suggest that the Puncture-Proof Pleasure Plate’s structural resilience is 0.02 points past Planned Obsolescence Optimal (or P.O.O.), unnecessarily retarding the Upgrade Cycle.
Do not panic. Keep buying. If [...]

Jeff Sharkey — winner of the $275k Android Developer Challenge — has already managed to reverse engineer one of the iPhone’s most killer apps and release it for the Android platform. This raises the G1 up a notch in my appraisal; in my musically-networked apartment, Remote.app is actually a far more wonderful creation than the [...]

This here is the MSI Wind U120, a modest upgrade to the popular netbook that I will from here on out refer to as “Business Wind”, because I find it amusing to think of a breeze that is tired of all these kites and paper airplanes and would really like to get some work done.
