Xyron Design Runner review
Wan has a review of this little printer that prints as you move it over things, it wants to be hacked, not sure if it prints on people – “Xyron Design Runner lets you print ANYWHERE…check out the FirstLook, FirstUse, and the video. The only thing we need is for them to upgrade the reader […]
Logitech Quickcam Orbit MP
I really like the new Logitech Quickcam Orbit MP – you can record videos and add live video effects and also use avatars. I’m going to poke around the files that they use to see if I can make my own. The camera is motorized, so it’ll do face tracking too – when I get […]
Alphacool watercooling starter kit
Fred Hunt from Bit-tech.net has a great review of the Alphacool watercooling starter kit – “Take a PC full of expensive, complicated, electricity-driven parts, add about half a litre of water in aquarium tubing and plug it into the mains electricity supply.

Go paperless with the ScanSnap…

Within a few afternoons I scanned a few thousand pages (and threw away more than 10000 pages of paper!) and now I have no more paper at home (only books!). All of these pages are now saved as PDF and alltogether use around 800MB, so they easily fit on a 1GB SDcard, that I can view on my MDApro.” Link.
