Moonbeam: 100mpg Homemade Car

I hope the big car companies are paying attention. Using two mopeds, $2000 and a little ingenuity, good Samaritan Jory Squibb built a cozy 2 or “1.5” passenger car that can get 100mpg highway and 85mpg city. Sure, top speed is only about 50mph, but that’s plenty fast for cruzin’ the strip for babes…ecobabes. The…

Sony DR-BT30Q Bluetooth Headset – No More Looking Like Corporate Madonna

The DR-BT30Q is a long needed overhaul of the bored Bluetooth headset styles of the present. Intended for use with a music phone, the DR-BT30Q look like a nice pair of headphones but support a quasi-hidden microphone as well. But why stop at cellphones?

USB Kitty: Like a Real Cat, but Evil…Like a Real Cat

The USB Kitty is a poor man’s 128-bit encryption. Instead of outsmarting those trying to break into your computer, the motion-sensing USB Kitty will simply annoy security threats until they leave, data intact. Using a patented (probably not actually) combination of turning its head and producing shrieking “meows”, USB Kitty can instantly turn even the…
