DIY Lightfade LED Floor might be GREAT for NightClubs!
Wednesday, October 14th, 2009As a former nightclub-addict who has been practically to every nightclub in San Francisco and Las Vegas, I have to say this Lightfade LED floor might be perfect for nightclubs where clubbers can enjoy dancing and matching footprint fades. Boy, would I love to install these in my future home someday, I can have a party in my house!

Samsung Giorgio Armani Windows Phone debuts
Friday, October 9th, 2009It’s hard to imagine fashionistas being sucked into buying a Windows Phone, but if the iPhone doesn’t appeal and you’re a real Giorgio Armani addict then Samsung’s latest device could be the answer.

Garmin Gecko 301: A Simple GPS For Map Addicts
Wednesday, September 9th, 2009I love maps and the thought of replacing them with a GPS makes me uneasy. The fact is, I very rarely get lost because I know how to read a map, I’m an expert with a compass, and I carefully chart my progress during the day by frequently referring to my map and watch.
