There’s A Tap For That
Thanks, Jen, for the lead on this one. You know, when I read about things like Bartab for the iPhone, I’m starting to think people should get back to using that old Phonebook. We’re forgetting the reason why we do things. With Bartab, you can use your iPhone to buy your friend a drink. It …
I Hate To Split Hairs, But This Ain’t A Splitter!
Remember when I was ragging on HumanWare and I said I was afraid the power-splitter would arrive sans end? Well, yesterday, my fears were realized.

Wake N’ Bacon
Somebody really doesn’t like an alarm clock that goes beebeebeebeep, and figures there are others who feel the same. So, whoever this is made at least a concept alarm clock with a totally different stimulus to wake the person up…the smell and sizzle of bacon! Yes, this alarm clock theoretically cooks a strip of bacon. …
