Low End Theory: Geekercise

By Brendan I. Koerner Ah, springtime, when our thoughts turn to lust—and, by extension, we get a wee bit self-conscious ’bout how our physiques are more Dom DeLuise than Ben Wallace. Unfortunately, spending countless hours transfixed by LCDs and the data contained thereon has a demonstrably deleterious effect on one’s physiology (i.e. being a geek…

Door Organizer Helps Airheads Keep Their Things in One Place

Everyone has one of those friends who just can’t for the life of them seem to remember their personal effects. One of my roommates in college was so bad about setting things down without thinking that I actually made him a “memory square,” which was a piece of paper with a red box drawn on…

Simplehuman Sensor Soap Pump vs. Old Squeeze Bottle

I think this IR touchless soap dispenser is awesome. The main reason is that when I’m washing dishes, I can re-soap the sponge without squeezing a bottle or hitting a pump. The soap flow is adjustable, depending on how much fluid you want dispensed, and how viscous a soap you’re using. The pump even has…

The entry-level phone also comes with Bluetooth, a built-in camera and all your basic media features (including an FM radio and MP3 ringtones). Its sibling, the 2760, ups the stakes by adding GPRS,…

BlackBerry 8300 Curve: The Media CrackBerry You Really Want

If you’ve been waiting for the right BlackBerry before making the jump into CrackBerry land, your time has come. The BlackBerry 8300 Curve is the email checking, media-heavy smartphone we’ve been waiting for. Design-wise, the 8300 is a looker with its thin Pearl-like profile, full QWERTY keyboard and silvery finish. But the real reason you’ll…

Topcon GR3 GPS Receiver: The Mr T of Navigation?

The Topcon GR3 looks more like a heavy-duty flashlight than a GPS receiver. It looks like the kind of tool that Bruce Willis would use in one of the Die Hard movies to bop the bad guy over the head—or Ashton Kutcher if he’s being a cheeky beggar. Really a tool for surveyors who need…

Lap Track Keeps you in the Swim

This is the swimmer’s equivalent to the pedometer, a length counter that makes me think of those old Walkman Sports. Stick the Lap Track on one end of the pool wall and it will show you all sorts of useful information as you power up and down the pool lane—best lap time, average lap time,…

The Shower Octopus

As useful as those hanging shower trays are, they can’t compare when it comes to the cool factor with this Shower Octopus. Although pricey, the octopus gives you enough arms to hold five bottles in mid-air—something octopuses are known for. The only thing we’d be concerned about (other than the fact that octopuses have eight…

Marketed in Korea, this USB Fishtank is the perfect thing for a desk jockey that’s too lazy to actually turn and take care of its fish. See, the USB connection hooks up to a software suite with a virtual fishtank, and whatever you do on the software fishtank—make bubbles, change the water temperature, or monitor…

Rohto V Arctic Eye Drops for “Techno Lifestyles” Review: Sweet Christ, I’m Blind

These Rohto V Arctic eye drops are supposed to “keep eyes cool under the strain of today’s techno lifestyles,” in particular the kind that results from staring at a monitor 20 hours a day, like we do at Giz. The “cool” part is supposed to be the menthol in the drops, which their rep said…

The dock also includes RCA inputs and an S-Video output. If you’ve go enough videos…
