CNET’s guide to wireless products

Wire and cable clutter is a real pet peeve of mine. Here at Unclutterer we have an entire category devoted to getting wires and cables in order. The good folks over at CNET have a feature highlighting just about everything you can think of that is available in the wireless world. From CNET: More and more gadgets are letting us cut the cord. From home theaters and headphones to routers and radios, wireless tech simplifies all kinds of connections. This month’s feature tackles the wonder of wire

Top of the Blogs May 15th, 2008

Each week (or whenever we have time) we take a listen to some of the top songs from elbows, review them and then give our selection of alternative tracks that we believe should be getting more recognition Sunny Day Sets Fire "Brainless" This song reminds me a little bit of Cloud Cult's "Pretty Voice" in the openng lines just for the sheer blissfull hopefullness of the sound and a similar pattern in the melody. It could possibly also be compared to the polyphonic spree, only maybe a little less

What's Up With No Cell Phones in Kids Books?

On about our 20th reading of Llama Llama Red Pajama, it struck me that Mama Llama was doing dishes while talking on a slimline, wall-mounted, spiral corded phone, and I wondered if my kid even knew what that was. I asked, she shrugged her shoulders, which could have meant "no" or could have meant "I'm not a trained monkey ... keep reading!" Later, I flipped back to see when it was published, 2005. Christ, even my in-laws had upgraded to a cordless by then. That's when I started seeing dated tec

Kindle: Amazon's iPod Killer?

So the Kindle is clunky. It comes only in white. And it is several times bigger than most portable devices we carry (phone, Blackberry, camera, iPod, etc). That's three strikes right there. But the Kindle does one thing really well, it allows you to read a book virtually wherever and whenever you want save a completely dark room (there is no back-light). I doubt I would have ever bought the Kindle myself at $399, but as a gift it's been a blessing and now I would buy one. Sold. Why? Because as

WMExperts Reviews the Moto HT820 and I Concur

The Motorola HT 820 Stereo Bluetooth headphones have been around for over a year and I still consider them the best around. I can answer calls and rock out with “good sounds”. They are by far the best I’ve used. Now WM Experts reviewer, George Ponder, is getting a taste of them as well… The HT820 is a solid set of headphones. Sound quality is good, connectivity is good and the headphones can double as a wireless headset for your phone. The only concern I have over these headphones is the lack

Sound Blaster X-If, USB 5.1 surround sound card for your PC

Why to go for concerts when you can have one in your home only? You just have to do a very simple thing- connect the Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 sound card to your PC or notebook and see what your room was, and what it is now. Crisp cymbal crashes, wailing guitar solos, screeching tires and booming explosions; oh my God! You are in your room or jumping in a rock band show? Video games, DVDs, films, music; perhaps for you there will be nothing in this world beyond these and so, falling

Bill O'Reilly Freaks Out, Drops F-Bomb - Dance Remix?

Well, that didn't take long! Just a day after an old video of FOX News host Bill O'Reilly freaking out while doing a promo a few years ago when he was on the show Inside Edition, comes the "Dance Remix." If you haven't seen the original, it's at the bottom of the post, but first up is the hottest dance number featuring an UNBLEEPED series of F-Bombs since, well, EVER! WARNING: Not safe for work language. We recommend putting your headphones on at work or at least warning the guy in the cube

What To Expect From Apple At WWDC

WWDC is drawing near, and its time for our almost traditional heap of speculation and wishful thinking, hammered into the constraints of a numbered list. Of course, ninety percent of what is written below will turn out to be far from the mark or just plain wrong, but hey, if we don't make a guess, we won't get anything right. 1. 3G iPhone We expect this one at least to come true. The stock of current iPhones has dried up. Even the Mothership has run out, and orders are being filled with by a

Design an iPod Speaker from a Musical Card

My birthday was on Tuesday and I got about three musical cards this year. Though they were good for a short laugh, I felt bad that my siblings had spent $5 on a card just because it looped a sound over and over again. Luckily, Justin from Instructables has come up with a way to turn your useless birthday card into a sweet speaker for your MP3 player. Essentially, you’ll be dismantling the card and wiring it up to a pair of headphones. Once that’s done, you’ll do a little cutting, wiring and

ipod shuffle

ipod shuffle May 12th, 2008 by costmendy Aesthetically it takes cues from many of apple’s other products ranging from power macs to cinema displays to other ipods. Designif you’ve seen any photos of the new shuffle you know most of what there is to know about its aesthetics. Corporate giftsout about special pricing on gift cards accessories and all ipod models.

Bitch Ass Darius "Follow The Sound" Mixtape

This is the fourth in a series of "intimate critiques" produced by masters students in my Media Theory and Methods proseminar that I've been running over on my blog. Since Kevin will be speaking as part of a Consortium-organized colloquium event on Thursday regarding his work on video sharing sites, I thought it would be a great idea to share his post with C3 blog readers as well. Here, Kevin walks us through the process by which he learned to hear and appreciate a mix tape which initially cha

"Worst Day Ever" Nominee Is...

"Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die." Picture this: You're a college student. You're 23 years young, healthy, and have an opportunity to see a part of the world that is totally different from your own. As different as, say, Kenya is from Cranbrook, B.C. So you take it, living in another culture, experiencing another world, while getting an education to use anywhere you care to go. One afternoon, as you're walking down the street to mail a lette

HTC Touch Diamond official desktop cradle

At the Touch Diamond launch event last week a few HTC employees mentioned that there would be a number of official accessories for the new device. So I managed to track down this photo of the official desktop cradle for the HTC Touch Diamond. HTC Touch Diamond official cradle I must say that this looks super sexy with its glossy black finish. You'll also notice the decent looking set of headphones in that photo above which, in my mind, implies that the dock/cradle will allow you to sync, charg

At Silent Barn, Droning + Fuzzy = Good

Woods’ headphone-microphone. This week I decided to change pace a little and check out a relatively mellower Todd P offering at Silent Barn. I first discovered Woods a couple weeks ago, and was compelled enough by what I heard to make the walk up into the Queens side of town. I’m a bit ashamed to say that I was prepared to write off opening band Fiasco because of their age. My mistake soon became clear, however. These kids throw down. When the stage banter returned between songs (with jokes

Touch-sensitive Bluetooth enabled headphones from Genius

If you haven’t had enough of touch screen on you mobile phone or PDAs and the blue spook of Bluetooth is still in you mind then check these headphones out. These headphones from Genius, known as the genius BT-031 are the first headset to have a touch screen along with Bluetooth. These head sets are designed to compliment and work in harmony with all Bluetooth enabled mobile phones and PDAs. These headphones with the A2DP hands free ensure that you can take a call when you receive an incomin

John Yoo, the Torture King speaks..

It wasn’t easy to read this article. I have an over-powering hatred for the man. The following section just made my blood run cold: It seems grotesque, doesn’t it? To sit in a comfortable classroom as the future lawyers of America clack away on their laptops, parsing definitions with the man whose legal mind turned America into a torturing nation? Grotesque doesn’t even begin to cover it pal. That is sumbitch actually gets to enjoy his 15 minutes of fame smacks of hell on earth to me. Why isn

Crazy Train-ramblings and incoherency

Ozzy said it best, "Mental wounds not healing, life's a bitter shame. I'm going off the rails on a crazy train." My crazy train derailed years ago. The caboose jumped tracks and the little engine that could, just won't. For some reason May, which should be a fabulous month for me, is sucking ass. I am disinterested in most things that usually hold interest for me, except music. Music has suddenly taken on a whole new meaning for me. When I feel myself being eaten away, I slap on my headphones,

Sodding tick tick tick beep tick of touchscreen phones

There is a 40-something woman sat opposite me on the train. Ah but first, I should explain: I’m sat in shit-class with the great unwashed because I missed my 955am train on account of the brilliantly inefficient London transport system. (The last mile - i.e. getting *TO* the station, despite living *IN* central London, that’s the really shit bit.) I’ve no issue with shit-class normally. Perfectly fine. I use it a lot. However if I’m going up to the north east, I thoroughly enjoy the widespre

OhGizmo! Review - AirDrives Interactive Earphones For The iPhone

OhGizmo! Review - AirDrives Interactive Earphones For The iPhone By Andrew Liszewski Whenever I listen to music I like to block out all the background noise and other sounds around me. So instead of speakers, I usually opt for either a set of earbuds or full-sized headphones. While it means I can enjoy my music without distraction, I unfortunately often end up missing phone calls or delivery men knocking on my door when I’m at home. It’s even more of a concern if I’m out wandering the city,

Ecstasy (MDMA) - The Key To Treating PTSD

Ecstasy (MDMA) - The Key To Treating PTSD I have been battling with PTSD daily since the early 1980's. This report gives me hope that a better class of drugs and therapy's may be on the horizon. At last the incurably traumatized may be seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. And controversially, the key to taming their demons is the ‘killer’ drug Ecstasy An Ecstasy tablet. That’s what it took to make Donna Kilgore feel alive again â€" that and the doctor who prescribed it. As the p

Livescribe Pulse Smartpen - Arrived.

My Livescribe Pulse smartpen has arrived! The Pulse is notable for recording both what you write on paper, and the ambient audio at the time of writing. It links these two streams of data together so that you may recall the audio at the point of writing by clicking on a word or scribble on the page. The software does much more, however. This little gem is a marvel of miniaturization, with not only a camera embedded in the tip, but also a tiny organic light emitting diode (OLED) display, a s

Ubanana uCan - Waterproof MP3 Player

Waterproof devices are becoming more common in the recent years, be it phones, portable media players, or any other thing you can think of. With that being said, MP3 players that can resist to water, like the uBanana uCan, are always welcome. The special feature on the uCan is that owners don’t need to wear “real” headphones, in other words - there are no cords or cables. Basically you just strap it to the back of your head, and you’re good to go. Another interesting detail is the ability to f

iPod vTouch - September 2008?

I’m keep hearing about the technology; WiMax vs 3G vs WiMax, Skype or SIP etc. Andy wrote a post suggesting that Video would be a key component defining what next in IP communications. That’s getting closer to why it might matter. There are comments here, here, here, and here. None of these really tell me a story. None really promote a scenario where I can see what a company or companies may do which excites you and me in such a way that our behavior changes. There was also no time put on it. W

TiVo Rewards Program almost over

It's been a long time coming but it looks like the TiVo Rewards program is finally shuttering in a couple weeks. I just got my last reminder email and I spent my last 5,000 points (screenshot above is from my email). Overall, it was a great program for someone like me that turned dozens of friends onto the device. I got a lot of nice stuff back from TiVo in return -- a couple iPods, a nice set of Bose noise-canceling headphones, and I used the points to get several free TiVo boxes for member

He's really on to something.

Of course, I think my son is brilliant and talented and funny. He kicks a soccer ball while running like a semi-pro. He catches his football effortlessly. He cracks me up. Example: While trying desperately to convince me to buy some fruit snacks at the grocery store he said to me but mom they are so delicious and then slowly moved his tongue across his top lip in a licking-your-lips type fashion. Really, how am I to say no to that? ( I did, but it wasn't easy to do while laughing.) He's now sh

Have a secret iPod Dance Party

Pretty pricey I think and not very cool looking- but still a good idea and might find it’s niche of music/ipod freaks/fans. When two or more people have these little accessories jacked into their iPod, all can listen to the same music from the same source at the same time through their own headphones. It’s like everyone’s listening to the same stereo - but privately! Each i2i™ Stream is both a wireless broadcaster and a receiver; they’re a fun new way to "share music privately" within a 3

CD Review: Jenny Moore-Koslowsky, “JMK for SBT”

I’ve spent the last couple of weeks, off and on, singing with Jenny Moore-Koslowsky. Not in person, of course â€" Jenny is in London, studying with her husband Conrad. And when I say “singing with,” of course I mean quietly, along with a CD safely playing at a louder volume. In the interest of not creating an auditory nuisance under some local bylaw, I don’t really do so much actual singing. But I’m getting ahead of myself. Let me back up, as it helps to know a little something about this proj

TV watching AT the dinner table: yea or nay?

As a parent, I don’t consider myself uptight. My kid owns lots of shiny plastic toys; she has a sip of my soda on occasion. She eats cookies and watches Thomas the Tank Engine on TV. We even bought her a portable DVD player to make long plane rides and car trips more bearable for everyone. But the other day I saw something that left me completely baffled. Last week we had dinner at a local brewery/restaurant. It was our first time there and I was pleased to find a noisy, family-friendly atmosp

The Clueless Engineer at Sony

Can I say it? I will. Sony hates bald people. I have no idea why Sony, a really large company, wants to ignore such a significant part of the male population, but it does. I own a pair of Sony headphones. Note the very hard plastic headband. Wear that across your naked skull for more than 5 minutes and you have a headache. Guaranteed. So I wear the headphones with the band off my head and to the back, which is at best awkward and probably looks retarded. Hatin' on the bald man... Tired of this

Spotted: MOTIONLESS LOVERS AT SHELLY LAKE

Yesterday, I went to run/walk around Shelly Lake. If you’ve ever been to Shelly Lake, you know there is a big grassy knoll where people play with their dogs or kick soccer balls around. The walking path cuts straight through the grass, so half of the knoll is adjacent to some trees and the other half is right by the lake- like a grassy beach or something. Well yesterday, there was a couple sitting on a blanket on the grassy beach part of said area. They were getting a lot of stares, and I’

HTC Diamond News Roundup: vs iPhone, docking station, cool LED notifications

Oh when will the HTC Diamond hype stop? Luckily it's a slow news day so this will fill the gap nicely. As Dieter last week called the Diamond properly an "iPhone killer", it's only fair that some snaps of it next to said phone should appear. This is all well and good, but what happens on that fateful day in June when that new 3g iPhone drops? Oh well, this will keep the fanboys on both sides happy a bit. Head over to Engadget Chinese for some more shots. In more tangible news, a nice shot

HTC Diamond vs iPhone (plus new docking station)

Oh when will the HTC Diamond hype stop? Luckily it's a slow news day so this will fill the gap nicely.

HTC Touch Diamond accessories coming soon

Just got word from Matt of Tracy and Matt’s Blog that he’s been able to grab a shot of one of the upcoming accessories for the HTC Touch Diamond. From Matt’s post… “I must say that this looks super sexy with its glossy black finish. You’ll also notice the decent looking set of headphones in that photo above which, in my mind, implies that the dock/cradle will allow you to sync, charge and use headphones while the device Diamond is plugged in! Now that would be cool!” That would be pretty

curry brick

On Sunday night, that night being a bank holiday night, a rare night when one can get completely and utterly off their face, I mean cock-fighting drunk (which is where you fight your own cock) be sick on your chest out of it, wake up in cells, fucked and covered in blood… I abstained. Having said that I spent much of Friday and Saturday in a stupor. Friday was one of the best, a classic piqued night in/out, beginning in the pub with Frank for a few that ultimately wound up with me lurching at

New kit! Wave shield for Arduino plays high quality audio

I’m back from maker faire and am wrapping up the documentation for my latest fun toy. Its an Arduino shield that can play high quality audio, music and speech. One thing I’ve noticed in doing tronix for the last few years is how incredibly hard it is to have a project with audio in it. Audio takes up a lot of space, so you need a storage element, and our ears are sensitive to errors and noise so its tough to make it sound good. After mucking around with ISD chips, embedded MP3 boards, wiri

Whispers

Walking by the train tracks on my way to work one day, I noticed a tiny tree sprouting from the rocks alongside the tracks. Headphones on, and power walk in place, I saw itâ€"but really didn’t “see” it. But a “whisper” told me to stop. So I did. Taking off my headphones, I knelt down and took this picture. The whisper said “there’s something here. something to think about… How can tree grow in a place like this?” With the image captured I went about the rest of my day but couldn’t stop thinki

Pancake Mountain!: TV for little rockers

In the battle of who has better culture between New York and Washington, it’s never really been a fair fight. I get it â€" NY wins. There was never really a contest. But every once in a while we’ll pull something out of our hats that’s completely awesome. It’s nice to know we’re still trying. That thing I’m referring to is D.C.’s own Pancake Mountain â€" an TV show made by local indie folk for the next generation of indie folk. Pancake Mountain is a self-described “excuse to act really silly a

Southwest Passenger Now On My List

Southwest Passenger Now On My List Few things get me more riled up than airplane passengers who act like 5-year-olds. This story, about a Southwest Airlines passenger who refused to hang up his cell phone during a flight (and who was met on the ground by police), got me boiling, and I’m nowhere near an airplane. Seriously, if I’d been on that guy’s row, I’m sure I would be in jail right now for assault. Not even joking. Let’s review a few of Eric’s simple rules for flying: If you have a probl

Matthew Ryan Tonight at Schubas, “Jane, I Still Feel the Same”

It’s Tuesday, the day many consider to be the worst day of the week. If you’re in Chicago and would like to brighten up your evening, make a trip to Schubas tonight to catch Matthew Ryan. I saw him at SXSW 2008 at the Go Entertainment Showcase that we sponsored and he played solo, acoustic to a packed house at Scoot Inn. He’ll be stopping in for a HearYa live session before the show, so we’ll have some live tracks posted in the coming weeks. I’ll also be working up a review of his new release,

Caught in the Mud of Getting Organized

Ugh. I have slacked off on blogging around the network for so long now that things are in such disarray that I cannot simply sit down and blog when I get inspired. There are so many updates, re-orgs, and general maintenance that now I have to do 12 things in order just to do a single post done. Today, I finally broke down and blogged here because the other post that I wanted to do about some new headphones I bought had to be put on hold. This was due to the fact that I didn’t have a blog to a

before they saw my toe off

before they saw my toe off Annika I was feeling irritated, tired, restless and stressed out all at once and for no reason. I tried to sleep, ate, took a bath, but to no avail. I had to do something. I got out of the tub, put some clothes on, and without a trace of makeup and with dripping wet hair I went out for a walk. The air was warm and the wind was mild, and for the first time in almost a year I wore only a tank top, cropped pants and the trustworthy sandals that carried me on the streets

Motorola ROKR E8 review

It might be the weekend, but the supply of interesting phones doesn’t end. I’ve played with the new Motorola E8 to my heart’s content and now am going to share my impressions. Simply put, the phone is superb. Honestly, I haven’t seen such an impressive handset in a while, and it’s probably the first Motorola in a long time which I really wanted to get. As much as I didn’t like Z8, I loved the E8 â€" granted, it’s not without some reservations, but still. Let’s start with the fact that this pho
