12 Masks of Halloween: #12 Cyborg Mask

October 30, 2016 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This mask is a little different. Pick it up from Morph Suits ad bring it to life with a speial app and your smartphone. That’s right. The smartphone is used for the scanning cyborg’s eye. It adds the special effects and will give you a mask that stands out, for all the right reasons, next […]

Are you excited by the Nintendo Switch?

October 20, 2016 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I remember hoping that Nintendo’s Wii U would have a controller that let you go mobile, play outside and join in epic games like Monster Hunter. I didn’t get my wish but that seems to be exactly what the nextgen console from Nintendo offers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5uik5fgIaI This first look at the Nintendo Switch (no Wii branding) […]

Tough: A review of Tech21’s Evo tactical case

August 8, 2016 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I want to begin this review with something usual – and talk about the ordering and fulfilment. I’m guilty of going with Amazon too often just because I’ve a Prime account and it’s easy. Ordering with Tech21.com was a delight. It was easy to do, I knew exactly where my case was, it arrived in […]

Cozmo is a cheeky little robot

June 27, 2016 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Okay, I’ll put my hands up and admit it. I don’t need a Cozmo. I’m pretty tempted by one, though. Here’s a company that’s worked to put a basic AI into a tiny machine and built an ‘emotion engine’. Know what they did with that? They made Cozmo a smart-ass. The little fellow will cost […]

A tablet stand you can snuggle: A review of the iBeani

June 22, 2016 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I unboxed my iBeani at work just when one of the IT support guys were passing my desk. They wouldn’t believe the skull and crossbones I was holding up was, in anyway, a tablet stand. My partner thought it looked like a beanbag for a cat. It’s easy to understand the confusion. I’ve a few […]

June 15, 2016 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

E3: Xbox One S

June 13, 2016 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This gamer hasn’t yet bought a ‘next gen’ console. Incredible, huh? It’s mainly due to life throwing curve balls but a little bit due to most games still being available for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. There are numerous Xbox 360s and PlayStation 3s kicking around this small flat. This E3 changes things; firstly […]

Let Darth Vader guard your home

June 11, 2016 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

There’s a Canary that defends our flat. The video camera looks nice, can see in the dark and detect movement. It’s pretty cool but it doesn’t have Sith powers. This design from Kim Hyeonseok and PDF Designers is also a home camera … and something far darker! Okay, other than scoring a truck load of […]

A homemade laser revolver, improved

June 8, 2016 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This is the mark II and therefore an improved design. The custom made revolver has a laser targeting system (which makes sense, right!) and is strong enough to pop black balloons and burn paper. Clearly we’re still along way off from having hip carried lasers as weapons of significance but we can have fun with […]

A real life version of Pong

May 30, 2016 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Pong is considered by many to be the first video game. What about a life action version of it? No, not with ping pong balls and a table – something more geeky! The masterminds behind this build are Daniel Perdomo, Alvaro Salsamendi and Constantino Voulgaris. They’re currently looking for a hardware incubator to help turn […]
