Even if the Wiimote was revolutionary when it initially came out, it really can’t compare to the motion-sensing capabilities of Sixense’s new Truemotion 3D system. Check out the video — it’ll blow you away. Rather than using an accelerometer like the Wiimote, the Truemotion system uses a magnetic field to track both of your hands […]
By Casey Lynn Contributing Writer, [GAS] This week’s pics examine the ultimate in permanent geek cred: the geeky tattoo. A love/hate relationship with HTML:
Back when I was a kid, I used to play with those pin art boards, where you could stick your face in, or any other object, and obtain the shape of this object imprinted on the surface of the board. In remembrance of those good old times, I present: the Pin Clock! This battery operated […]
Do you have too many browsers installed already? Well, today I’m test-driving yet another browser from a Japanese startup named Lunascape (I’m not really sure what to call this product, they sometimes refer to it as “Genesis”, but mostly they just call it Lunascape). Where did they get that name, I wonder? It sounds like […]
By Casey Lynn Contributing Writer, [GAS] The Guild, the MMORPG-themed web series spearheaded by geek goddess Felicia Day, is gearing up for its second season. However, rather than new episodes airing on YouTube, they will be showing up exclusively on XBox Live, Zune, and MSN Video. That’s right, they’re teaming up with Microsoft, which is […]
Designed by Manuel Saez for Humanscale, a popular manufacturer of ergonomic office furniture, the daybed is what I would call the ultimate chair for lazy, laptop-using Web surfers. I mean, look at this thing! It looks so comfortable, I doubt anyone sitting in it would ever want to get up, even after several hours of […]

As with the ill-fated Pacer of the ’70s, that vast expanse of glass looks terrific style-wise (well, I’m in […]
By Casey Lynn Contributing Writer, [GAS] Forty-five years ago today, An Unearthly Child aired on BBC, marking the beginning of an epic science fiction journey and a pop culture legend. It’s a little crazy to think that Doctor Who is still going strong after all these years (thanks to being resurrected by RTD in 2005). […]
By Casey Lynn Contributing Writer, [GAS] In a fit of boredom I decided to try out a bunch of iPhone apps yesterday, and have decided that Ocarina is a keeper. This is one of those concepts that really makes me wonder what the developer was thinking: (1) let’s turn the iPhone into a wind instrument […]
By Jimmy Rogers Contributing Writer, [GAS] That’s right – yet another upgrade to the mighty JesusPhone. Why do we report on this stuff? Because people want to know, that’s why! iPhone users received an email today telling them to upgrade to firmware version 2.2. It’s been a little while since a major upgrade was made, […]
