This is how you get geeks excited: you combine three of their great loves into one crazy object. This Lego Sequencer MR II uses Lego stacks to emulate a three-channel, eight-step sequencer, where each brick produces a different sound, creating the ability to build crazy combos by stacking them together. Add to that fact that the whole thing is made of the brass that is so popular with guys who wish they lived inside Final Fantasy VI and you’ve... 

The Humping USB Dogs became so popular 2 or 3 years ago that the maker, Japan-based Cube , not only started selling the silly things internationally but also added a plethora of other animals to the line-up. And now, the same company has another USB-powered gadget ready, the so-called Dodobongo USB dog. The Dodobongo isn’t quite as silly as its humping counterpart, as it actually starts barking and blushing once it detects a person approaching... 

Foursquare, Yelp, Gowalla, Loopt . . . now Facebook will include users’ locations in status updates and other posted content. According to the New York Times article, Facebook will announce the new technology at its annual developer conference in April. Apparently a team at Facebook has been working on the project for over a year, but it’s been holding off on releasing any part of it until it’s completely ready for widespread... 

In case you haven’t heard the buzz, God of War III is coming out this month, and it’s going to be epic . Although Kratos (the main character) gives me the willies , I’m totally down to slash and burn with the best of them. I understand that gaming has traditionally been a “man’s world,” so to speak, but I couldn’t help but chuckle at the newest ad for the title, which is slated to start airing later... 

Based on a Rolex Submariner LV, Project X Designs heavily modified it to be what amounts to an authentic homage to the esteemed Sub Ref 6538. For those of you not geeked out by Subs, … Read the full post at Gear Patrol.  Read More →

For years, man has been trying to build a jetpack which would actually be safe and cheap enough to be used by anyone other than Lee Majors on the title sequence of The Fall Guy . It turns out that we’ve been doing it wrong. Instead of starting with a pack and adding on the jet, we should have torn the giant engines from a plane and strapped them to some poor schmuck. This is what the New Zealand Martin Aircraft Company did, resulting in... 

I’m not sure if I’m supposed to be calling Comcast “Xfinity” yet , but I guess that’s not important right now – Comcast (or Xfinity, geez) announced yesterday that its newest update to the Comcast Mobile App (free) for your iPhone will include a remote DVR controller to record, edit, or cancel recordings on the go. Known as myDVR Manager, the app is available in select markets currently, but will be rolling... 

There’s a load of great tech news happening out there every day, and, unfortunately, we just can’t cover it all. Here are a few of the other noteworthy things we saw today on our never-ending journey through the wild, wild Web. 8-bit NYC reimagines New York as an ’80s videogame, capturing the Big Apple in pixelated squares straight out of the original ‘Legend of Zelda’ or ‘Dragon Warrior.’ Get support... 

I met my guy’s extended family for the first time over the weekend, and while it (thankfully!) went very well, I’m now stuck with a list of post-meeting tech related questions. First up: Facebook. We went to a party hosted by his sister, and as we said goodbye, she mentioned she’d post party photos on Facebook. I’d love to see them, but I’m not sure I’m ready to friend his sister. Not because I don’t... 

For me, Spring cleaning means ripping out that rat’s nest of cords behind my desk and getting a fresh start with minimal cable interference. Thankfully, there’s a new wireless charger on the block that will help me keep things neat and tidy. Like the Powermat before it, the Case-Mate Hug ($100) charges your iPhone without all those nasty wires and cords. Sure, it won’t charge your BlackBerry …  Read More →

If you’ve ever played an MMO (massively multiplayer online game), you may be familiar with the gaming headset. It’s definitely the most effective way to game, as it keeps your hands free, and you don’t have to worry about the rest of your apartment dwellers listening to the person on your team talking smack. However, the headsets aren’t always so fashionable. Thankfully, Muse is tuned in to the geeks who want a little...

There are a few tech-sins I’ll cop to: not shutting down my computer as often as I should, yanking the headphones out of my iPhone to stop the music instead of just pushing the stop button, and, of course, leaving a ton of windows open in my browser . I’m not sure what I have against closing the individual windows, but for some reason typing “command + t” is so much easier than clicking on the “x” to close...
