Got my Geek on…
by betoman on Aug.12, 2010, under Humor, Technology
At least my watch that is. Most of you know how geeky I can be but this watch is a god-send for someone as “vain” as I am. See, I’ve had to start using reading glasses this past year.
All normal I’ve been told.
But a good friend of mine, David Gunn, showed up one day with this KUEL watch. It was an iBeam. It didn’t look like mine but it had the same characteristics. It had a an easy to read dial and a maginfying glass built right into the crystal. This way if I didn’t have my “cheaters” while reading a menu, I could flip up the crystal and “voila!” I’m in business.
I bought one soon after.
It also had another cool feature. An LED spotlight. And this sucker is bright. You push the orange button and this powerful little LED illuminates the darkest of hallways (no zombies there) or a map to find your way out of the (horror) house (with zombies).
Yeah, my imagination in over-drive again.
Most of my family just roll their eyes when I show them my watch, “Of course you have that watch. Why wouldn’t you?” They smile. As I do. Oh and it has a compass too. See it? Plus it has dual time zones, a stopwatch, countdown timer, blah, blah, blah.
I’ve had this watch for about 2 years now and the LED battery finally died. So I took it to this jewerler by my work and after three days I got my trusty Gizmo back with 3 new batteries – yes 3 – one for the watch, two for the LED.
I’m giddy again and armed with the power to vanquish any zombies lurking in the shadows when I go to bed…plus I can tell what time it is in Germany (Jim).
Yes, my adult human night light.

Only $65 bucks for your “eye in the sky.” Hmmm…I could use this. Plus is look just too cool. Check out the video. I also posted the link below from the website I saw this on – I frequent the page daily.
Of course, they haven’t shown it crash to see how durable this thing is like but c’mon, it’s an AirHog. My son had one and we crashed it numerous times.

Now, I can practice on this little baby until I work my way up to this one…yeah right. But cool video shots.

You just can’t beat simplicity

I don’t know if you’ve heard, but for now you can print from an iPad. Well, leave it to a simplistic solution. Made me laugh. From a blog I visit frequently. See the link below.

Remarkable…iPhone Photo shoot
by betoman on Jul.07, 2010, under Apple, Around the Web, Creativity, Technology
Okay – this woman has nothing to do with the title of my post but can you believe this picture was taken with an iPhone?
I’m a student of lighting a scene and I was just blown away by this post.
Click on the movie to learn how it was done…and there is a hilarious part at about 3:50min into the movie – stick with the video until then you won’t be disappointed.
I found this on a website I frequent on a daily basis – link below.

I saw this on a site I frequent (link below video) and it shows this little autonomous robot climbing over stuff. It’s called, “Little dog.”
Here is the link of where I found this.
