Creative Slims Down Zen Vision M, W

I am going to put the sake of Gizmodo’s Apple fanboyism on the line by saying the Creative Zen Vision M is the most aesthetically pleasing MP3 players out there, except for the thickness.

Handmade Wooden-Skinned Car Is a Craftsman’s Masterpiece

The Tryane II is an example of fine craftsmanship by a guy who is aptly named Friend Wood. He spent 2000 hours building the car; a key part of that process involved gluing and stapling together strips of mahogany veneer, and then buffing it to a mirror-like finish.

i.Sound MovieTime Universal

For those gadget fiends out there who go through the rigorous decision-making process of selecting which portable media player to use is the i.Sound MovieTime Universal. This very odd-looking dock is compatible with all portable media players via an auxiliary input, but seems pretty specific for the iPod, Zune or PSP. It can operate by…

Dancing on the Moon (1935)

The 1935 Fleischer Brothers cartoon Dancing on the Moon gave audiences a peek at the wondrous age of space travel, still decades from becoming a reality.
