Wand Universal Remote
Remember when Steve Jobs unveiled the AppleTV, there’s one thing that he was very proud of is how simple the remote control was? he said we have 6 buttons, compared to 80 somewhat button on other companies remote control. I never imagined someone would make a remote control that has no button – not counting iPhone’s various software remotes – and in such an awesome package – The Kymera Wand Universal Remote Control!!! It is essentially an infrared remote control with accelerometer built-in but in the shape …

I bought my last camera Sony Cybershot T-33 back in the beginning of 2005 right before my trip to Amsterdam.  It’s been more than 4 years, which is quite remarkable due to my gadget replacement rate.  It should have been replaced by a newer model a long time ago.  I just never got around to it due to various financial reasons.  And to be honest, I just don’t take pictures that much.  Well, it could be because I always forgot to bring the camera with me, or that I wasn’t satisfied with the picture …

Ry, the new friend I get to know from Comic Con last week posted about what she really want but can’t afford right now. For me, compared to what I really want in life, things I can buy are pretty easy to get without too much stress. There’s enough things to stress in life already, so if there are things u want that you can get by dropping some money, I say go ahead!
We all know I am such a geek that I have a thing for robots, so here …

It’s amazing how “real” Pleo feels! I know it’s just a robot with a plastic skin, but man he’s adorable! I dunno if it’s the little noise he makes or he little gesture like waging the tail and giving a sad face, or when you hold him and he fall asleep in your arms. It just make you believe he is real. It makes you feel so proud when you teach him how to shake hands or balance with two feet. My favorite moment was when he …

I think the first time I mentioned Pleo was back in 2006! so you can see I wanted it for quite some time. As you know Sharper Image is closing and obviously sale is inevitable. They are one of the few retail stores that actually have Pleo…

With an attractive price…I got it! More pics and video to follow, but right now because it needs to be charge for 3-4 hours, I am just gonna leave you a teaser image of the box and let you guess what …

I still want a Pleo even though I decided not to buy one for now. Mostly hoping for a battery improvement in version 2. But in any case, it is so adorable that even dolphins take notice! Granted someone point out that the video is shot after the trainers get the dolphins’ attention and pointed them to Pleo first, but still, they could easily swim away after the first minute or so if they are not interested. Given how long the dolphins stayed there, I do …

I come across this new product – Nubrella – a hand-free umbrella that make you looks like a bubble boy.  Part of me think it looks silly, but then the lazy part of me think it’s brilliant that I don’t have to hold an umbrella not to mention it’s not gonna invert and break like a regular umbrella when facing the wind.  In my opinion it lacks a killer feature that if they have it built in I will surely get one – air-conditioned built in!!! hahaha! It could double …

It’s V-day again. But more importantly, it’s also the 3 years anniversary of my powerbook. It’s actually kinda sad because it’s the end of the Applecare so from now on, if he breaks, I’ll have to pay to fix him. He’s still in a pretty good condition, and tonight I’ll give him a nice “wash” to make him all pretty and clean.
I got myself a little treat too, well, not so much little, but definitely awesomely cool! It’s the watch that I have my eyes on for …

Ever since I found out about the sales that is going on in CompUSA because of its closing, I have been checking their location in midtown near I work almost everyday. There’s one thing I wanted to pick up. A gadget that I haven’t upgrade for the longest time – my camera! I got my Sony Cybershot T33 back in Jan. of 2005, so it’s now extremely old! I have been eyeing the new T200 touch screen 8.1 megapixel 5X zoom camera for a while, so when …
