Yesterday saw the release of Gooogle Chrome which marks the search company’s first step into the world of web browsers. This is pretty big deal because 1.) Google is a huge company and any market it even looks at should be concerned 2.) There hasn’t been a new browser in years and certainly not one [...]

Toyota is developing a device to rival the SegWay scooters called the Winglet. It uses similar technology that allows the user to control speed and direction simply by shifting their weight.
It seems like they have made some important size improvements over the monstrous SegWay, but it still seems like an awkward way to get from [...]

If you have a lot of reading to do and not a lot of time, you might want to consider checking out Spreeder. It allows you to upload or copy chunks of text and then spits it back to you in a steady flow of words. Here’s why it works:

If you are like me you perform at least 4 or 5 google image searches a day for reference, and possibly to mock into a design. Well the Montage-a-google app is a fun way to get rid of all the whitespace and see 20 images all at once.
Montage-a-google (brought to you by Grant Robinson) is [...]

There is a “Universal Law of Sports Technology, which says unequivocally that you can build something infinitely light or infinitely strong but not both; that there are I-beams and there are feathers, and you can’t build one from the other.”
This is the premise that big sports companies like Nike, Adidas, and Speedo are trying to [...]

I am somewhat of a pack rat in that I have a hard time throwing stuff away because there is always the chance that I might need it somewhere down the line. Unfortunately this does not end when I enter the digital world.
