You and Me Wall Clock Keeps Track of Time

If you’re in a long distance relationship, doomed to spend a fortune on phone bills and traveling expenses, then this would make for a cute Valentine’s Day gift. Instead of just showing your current time, it shows the time of your significant other too. It would make it easier to figure out when to call and be a constant reminder that the one you love is in a whole different time zone.

Alright, so it is a little bittersweet instead of being actually sweet. Yet what isn’t when you’re attempting the long distance situation? This clock comes with a total of 6 different blank spare hands. That should make it extremely complicated to try to actually read your own time. Hopefully you’ll be able to get used to the clock after a little while though.

Hydrogen R/C Car Model Kit

Want to achieve a higher level of performance when it comes to R/C car model kits? The Hydrogen R/C Car Model Kit might just fit the bill then, where this latest prototype hydrogen fuel cell power kit was specially designed around Tamiya’s TRF 416 carbon fiber chassis. It is still in the prototype stage at point of publishing, so you won’t see it hit the stores anytime soon although we’re pretty sure that enthusiasts can’t wait for an official release.

A couple of HydroSTIKs are able to carry around 15Wh of energy or 13L of hydrogen, where they are integrated to the fuel cell electric power-train on either side of the chassis which results in enhanced weight distribution for the car.

Make Your Camera Wireless w/ Eye-Fi!

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Eye-Fi. All opinions are 100% mine.

“Where are my wedding pictures?! Have you uploaded them already?”

Those are the same lines that I’ve been hearing on my phone line lately. My sister kept on nagging me about her wedding pictures which I took just last week. She wants me to upload them on the web so that she could view them while enjoying her honeymoon. I love my sister and I’m always willing to do things for her but there’s just one teeny tiny bit of problem - I just can’t find my USB cable. Now, I have to coo my own mother into buying me a new one.

How I wish these picture could just fly to my PC anytime I want them to. Man that would just have been some dream if I haven’t come across of it lately. While I was surfing the net, I found its ultimate realization, the sweet answer to my prayers. I found the Eye-Fi!

Eye–Fi is the first ever wireless memory card. It basically looks like any other card available in the market but its features are way on top of the board. It has a built-in Wi–Fi which utilizes your wireless connection, allowing you to let your pictures fly to the web like magic! It is indeed the easiest way to get what's in your camera, out of your camera. Not only does it save time, it’s also hassle free! But that’s not all; Eye–Fi automatically backs up your memories and organizes them by date on your computer. And it even stores up to four Gigabytes of memory. Now, how cool is that? If you want to learn more about the Eye-Fi, you can take a look at the video below. It shows in detail how the Eye-Fi works.

A $2 million petite robot

Are you kidding me?! $2 million just for a single stick like bird robot? Hmmm, well actually it’s a hummingbird robot. Some Japanese researcher from the Chiba University in Japan has unveiled it and its cost is over an overwhelming $2 million to develop. Yes, and it’s not a typographical error.

The robot is about the dimensions of a real hummingbird and it can fly like a real one, and flap its wings at up to thirty times per second (that’s fast), it has four wings and a micro motor which powers the wings.

The hummingbird robot is controlled via infrared, and it can fly up and down and even in a figure of eight, and according to Professor Liu the tiny robot is more stable than a helicopter.

The robot is designed to be used in search and rescue missions and they intend to add a micro video camera to the 10cm long robot, it could even be used in collapsed buildings to search for people who have been trapped.

This could be very useful for the recent Haiti earthquake tragedy. Speaking of the latter, I really hope everything in Haiti will be ok and I also hope everybody will have the strength to move on in time. God Bless!

Dungeons and Dragons now in Sodas!

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Jones Soda. All opinions are 100% mine.

Have you found the perfect gift for your cute little nephews on their special day? If not, then allow me to make a good suggestion.

Ever heard of the fantasy role-playing online game, Dungeons and Dragons or DnD? I’m pretty sure though that your nephews have. It’s an online phenomenon based on a board game that was released in the 70’s. It was from a miniature war game with a variation of the Chainmail game which served as the initial rule system. It’s topping the charts now as one of the most-played hit and it’s invading the world slowly with its magic.

Well here’s the good news, DnD now comes in sodas! Yep, you heard it right. The Jones Soda company wanted to enhance more the feel of DnD that they ended up making the Dungeons and Dragons Jones Soda Soda that come in cool, different flavors. They have the Potion of Healing, Sneak Attack, Bigby's Crushing Thirst Destroyer, Dwarven Draught, Eldritch Blast and Illithid Brain Juice! My, these flavors sound really interesting. I really wonder if Bigby’s Crushing Thirst destroyer could successfully destroy my thirst.

Anyway, there you have it folks, the perfect gift for your cute little nephews, the Dungeons and Dragons Spellcasting sodas. Check out there pics!

Featuring the all new LG Chocolate Touch

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of LG Chocolate Touch. All opinions are 100% mine.

I can’t believe I left my iPod again at home. Now I’m stuck here in the library with basically no music to boost up my mood. I can’t turn on the PC’s loudspeaker because I know that once I do that, Miss Scary Librarian would kick me out of this building with no other second thoughts.

I’m now working the online programming job that I signed up for so that I’d be able to purchase my dream – the LG Chocolate Touch with Dolby Mobile handset. It’s the newest from LG and it is basically the solution to my gadget problem. I could state three good reasons for this.

First is that this new innovation encompasses several digital gadgets into one. It’s a mobile phone, internet connected personal computer and a music player all at the same time. But its music player is not just ordinary for it is powered by Dolby Mobile Technology for crystal clear sound quality. Also it has sweet Visual Effects and features, including Rhythmical Beat that vibrates the handset to the beat of the music.

Second, I don’t have to bring my laptop every time just to update my Twitter account because this LG Choco features a one-touch Social Network Message Key for easy use of Mobile Blogging. It also features top-notch text, picture, video, and voice messaging, including Visual Voicemail and 3.2MP Camera/Recorder–quality pictures and videos, with image editor!

And the third good reason is that it is now available in the market for all of us.

Casio EX-10HG Compact Digital Camera w/ An Interesting Feature

Casio has shown off a new compact digital camera at this years CES, the Casio EX-10HG, which is a new version of their popular EX-10 compact digital camera.

The Casio EX-10HG features a built in GPS sensor for geo tagging your photos when you are outside, normally when you go inside or are in a built up area the GPS function wont work, but Casio has developed a solution for this problem.

The Casio EX-10HG also has three axis accelerometers which determine the direction and distance that the camera has travelled since it last communicated with the satellite, this then works out your exact location.

Other specifications are pretty much the same as the Casio EX-10, it comes with a 12.1 megapixel sensor, a 10 times zoom lens and the ability to record video in HD at 720p. At the moment, the Casio EX-10HG is in the prototype stages, there are no details on when we are likely to see it in the stores or how much it will retail for.
