Drinking bottled water is not just bad for the environment, but it’s a colossal waste of money.  We have known that for ages, what we are only now discovering are the long term effects of Bisphenol A, commonly abbreviated as BPA.  BPA is a common ingredient in Polycarbonate plastics and is used to […]

I found this great, free application for PCs a little while ago.  It’s nothing earth shattering.  In fact it’s basically banal.  Until you need one of it’s cool features.  What is it you ask?
A Windows calculator!  But with two really cool features, the first is a virtual tape.  Much like an adding machine you can […]

Wow!  Who knew what a trial it would become to find a copy of Mario Kart for the Wii.  My son Riccardo is coming to visit for a month starting next Friday.  My brother and I are working out a way for Riccardo and his cousin to play Wii over the Interwebs while […]

I wandered over to EB Games today to look for a copy of Mario Kart for the Wii.  Like every other on-line retailer I’ve tried today, they are out of stock.  While I was there I checked out a couple of the top selling PSP games, just so I can see what other people like.

With out a doubt, one of the coolest digital cameras I’ve seen in a while.  You can have either a 5 MP or 3.1 MP camera built into your diving mask.  Snap what you see as you glide through the watery deep.  The specs for the 5 MP are:
