Yes, That’s Right, Power Balls

Better balls, more power. That’s what NanoDynamics came up with when it created its NDMX golf ball, which features a metal center to better distribute weight and keep the ball from over-rotating. This makes for a straighter drive that’s less prone to accidental slicing or deviations from grass. Just $25 for three of these power…

Connecting New Orleans

New Orleans has the right idea. To help get everyone communicating again, the ravaged city is starting up the country’s first municipally-owned wireless Internet system that will, thankfully, be free for everyone.

Ventura SPARC rx Watch

Priced at about $2,200, this watch probably won’t make it into my stocking this Christmas but it does look pretty cool. The SPARC rx has a rotating face that turns it from a standard watch into a Nike-esque sports watch with just one twist. The case is made of Durinox, which is up there with…

Low-Cost Wacom Tablet

The Volito2 is Wacom’s entry-level tablet device, and at about $67, it could be worth it to have text input, photo editing and the ability to add digital signatures to your documents (which can be priceless).

Airtime

Feel My Presence By Carlo Longino The phone is a great synchronous communications device. You call people, they answer, you talk—what could be easier or more efficient? But the phone isn’t so great at asynchronous communications—that is, communication that doesn’t require people to be actively conversing at the same time. If you call someone and…
