Here s a tiny GPS receiver from i-Blue that communicates with your Bluetooth-equipped laptop or PDA and it’s pretty smart, too.

Postvinyl Makes DJing Even Better on Drugs

Think Djing couldn’t get any more fun? Please. There’s always more to invent when it comes to spinning records.

Whirlpool Body Box-Weirdest Cleaning Device Ever

Um, this may be a really futuristic design, but I’m a little freaked with the Whirlpool BodyBox. And it’s not just the name, though that does help considerably.

The 640 x 480 pixel resolution glasses support both…

Foldable Music Keyboard Patented

Keyboardists tired of lugging around giant instruments have looked for solutions before: fewer keys (resulting in . . . fewer keys), thinner designs (less fun to play), and even roll-up designs (not at all fun to play).
