Barack Obama Plans to Conduct Weekly Chats Via Youtube

In a Web 2.0 update of FDR’s famous fireside chats, President-Elect Barack Obama has pledged to film weekly chats that can be viewed on the Youtube video streaming service. This comes as no surprise, given that during his campaign he uploaded over 1,100 videos and racked up over 110 million views.

Spongebob Clock Pants

My girlfriend loves Spongebob. This is what I might get her for her upcoming birthday. It’s about $30 bucks and you can find them just about anywhere. Amazon is a great place to start.

WFR-20 Internet Radio

I hope they put all their efforts into the technology of this Wi-Fi radio, because they certainly ignored design..
This rather ugly thing is the Sangean WiFi internet radio (WFR-20) which offers up "direct access to over 6,000 Internet Radio stations (and 21,242 on-demand streams) in 250 locations from 60 genres," and you can organize your [...]

Now Sirius Release New Radio - Stiletto 2

Okay, I’m going to go ahead and make the assumption that I’m behind the times, and that both XM and Sirius are designing radios that will work with both systems. Or, that when the merger’s complete, there will be only one system. Because they both continue to release new, competing radios. This one, the Stiletto [...]

Samsung Yepp YP-P2 Overcomes Goofy Name with Some Style

Samsung’s been making some nice things lately, but what’s with the naming? The Yepp (Yepp?!?) YP-P2 is a lovely critter, and quite svelte: only 100 X 52 X 9.2mm. That’s thinner than a runway model… (I’ll leave it at that). Specs:

Up to 8GB Flash storage
3-inch, 428 X 240 pixel touch-screen
Integrated speaker and mike
Integrated FM radio

Prices are $361 for the CBX-Z10 and $420 for the CBX-Z2.

Google Rumors

With Google phone rumors flying everywhere, I thought I would indulge. If I were Verizon, Cingular, or any other phone company I would be scared, a new innovative and borderline CRAZY idea has hit the rumor mill. Free Cellular phone service, thanks to - Google. You read it right. FREE cell phone service. How is [...]

Lenart Studio Pimps the Surfboard Right

It’s embarrassing enough that I live within 5 minutes of Malibu (one surfing spot in Southern California, for those who don’t live around these parts) and don’t surf. If I did, I certainly wouldn’t be able to afford Lenart Studios’ GPS,  LCD, and two-way radio-equipped uber-surfboard. I mean, the thing can alert emergency services if [...]

Tivoli Crystal Radio Would Look Lovely in a Nice Hutch

It’s an AM/FM radio, people, in lovely handcrafted crystal! I mean, come on! and only around $5,800, to boot! Tivoli has got it going on! Okay, enough with the exclamation marks. Again, this is one of those "if you have to ask the price…" moments. I’m sure it’s lovely, and it’ll fit someone’s decor. Just [...]

Hello Kitty to the Rescue!

No, seriously, if you find yourself in an emergency, Hello Kitty will be there with hand-crank USB cell phone charger, AM/FM radio, LED flashlight, siren, and compass. She’ll also make you feel warm and cuddly, because that’s what Hello Kitty does. No word on pricing or availability.
