Being the gadget-lover that I am, I have been on the cookout for the Geekiest rice cooker out there! I finally found it, and I love it! It’s the Zojirushi Micom 3-Cup Rice Cooker and Warmer. I bought it in the stainless steel finish, to match the other appliances in my kitchen. It’s easy to use, Geeky enough to make me happy, and makes delicious rice!
I am able to change the music I’m listening to throughout my house by controlling it from one small little tool! This is one of the best things I’ve used in quite awhile, for sure. The Sonos Controller gives you instant access to all your music and all the rooms in your house, with just the touch of a finger… even from my iPhone!
PokenZoo….they’re calling it a “Social Networking Accessory”. It could be a contributing factor in the phasing out of business cards as we know them. It’s this cool little flash drive type character that allows you to instantly transfer your contact information to other PokenZoo owners with just a touch. It’s very similar to the “Bump” app on an iPhone. You set it up to hold your typical contact information like name, address, email,etc. – but then they take it a step further – you can also add your FaceBook, Twitter, MySpace and LinkedIn, etc. screen names & contact info. When you hold your Poken up to another Poken, it automatically reads your new contact’s information and shares yours. You can vary the settings to transfer different information at different times. Then you just plug it in to the usb port on your computer where you transfer the contact info to the poken web site for you to use when & where you like.
It looks like an ingenious gadget with a creative spin to it. One of my favorite features is the variety of characters you can choose from for your own personal Poken. And yes, they will print your logo on the back.
I do have a lot of desk space, but it’s still not enough. I could always build up if I wanted to, by adding shelves. This would allow me to put things on, under and around the shelving. What type of shelves would I use? I’m glad you asked! The uBoard is not just any old shelf, sitting there doing nothing. It’s an amazing addition to my work space!
Pixie might think she’s fooling me, but I always see her sitting in my chair. However, I had to make her move since I needed to record this video talking about the uCorder. It’s possibly the World’s smallest recorder, but don’t let the size fool you. It’s an excellent little device, and one I am sure you will be happy to have. What would you use it for if you owned one of these?
I met up with Cyrus while I was at PAX recently. He demonstrated for me (and all of you) what could possibly be the coolest, most uber-ultimate game controller ever! Imagine never having to pick up and hold a controller again, or mash keys on your poor, overworked keyboard. Imagine, if you will, that all you have to do is slip on a glove.
You might remember my review of the Kodak Zi6 awhile back. The folks at Kodak recently sent me the new Zi8 to review – and I’m very thankful they have. I really like what they have done with it!
Your media reader may be able to handle many things, but can it handle an IDE drive – externally? Can it handle a SATA drive? A truly universal storage adapter is what you need, such as the NexStar Universal Storage Adapter.
What’s your favorite input device? Maybe your favorite is your mouse or a track pad. Have you thought about trying something different – maybe a tablet surface, in conjunction with a stylus and a mouse? As long as your computer has a USB port, you can control it using either the stylus or the mouse!
I’ve done videos about the Nintendo DS, the Sony PSP, and even the iPhone. I’m not a gamer, even though I like to play games. I also love gadgets and gizmos as you know. I have here a portable device that allows you to play games, record your voice, watch video and even comes with a calendar! I bet you’re wondering now what it is, aren’t you?
You can’t hear the music playing in my head, because it’s not easy to share. It is easy to share music on the Internet, via legal downloads, music subscriptions, or even via Internet radio. How do you listen to your music online? What do you use for Internet radio? I’m sure you use a computer. But what if you didn’t have to use a computer?
I was challenged by Lamarr Wilson to showcase 16 “tech things” in my house. Of course, I opted for the most portable items. How many of these do you have (or want)? Here, in order, are the items that I used:

While I was in Hawaii last week, I had the opportunity to record a “Question of the Day” video with Traci Toguchi. I decided to ask the question: What is your favorite piece of technology?.
Have you ever seen those videos online where the subject looks fantastic? But behind them, you see an unmade bed, or laundry that isn’t clean? You have to be cognizant of everything in your video, including your background. Behind me happens to be a nylon green sheet that is surrounded by a wire that allows you to easily collapse it and carry it around.
Yes, this video is being recorded live. I’m also recording a video of what I see in front of me. The camera is inside of these spy sunglasses! They’re a little over $200.00. You might ask if they’re worth it. Well of course they are! The video quality is pretty decent, and ready for YouTube. And best of all, no one will ever know you’re recording them, unless you flap your trap and tell them!
