Work it, ladies! Like a pwny, like a pwny! Nothing makes me sweat more then setting up a real life version of one of my favorite retro games, Tetris. Nothing else makes my short-shorts run-up my butt cheeks quite as much. Here’s how this real life analog version of Tetris works.

Here’s testimonial from one such customer’s son-in-law: They were buying a TV for a new RV and bought a DTV converter box. I told them after they got it... Continue reading

Then there are watches which display time in binary. Dorky, but not confusing. I’m looking for a watch that is as confusing as it is expensive. The kind of watch I wouldn’t trade any sports car in the world for the confusion it brings upon me whenever I refer to it for time. Enter the... Continue reading

Nowadays, digital clocks need to be installed in public schools because the human race is evolving into a new, dumber mammal. I embrace this change, however, I still can read an analog clock. I say we make it even harder for our dumb-founded youth, by installing these 11.5-inch clocks in every public school across the nation. Sure, the twelve and the one hands are simple mathematics, but the seven hand might be too many variables for your average confused by... Continue reading

One can only hope they... Continue reading

The reason a lot of us have never really got into the whole “cellphone gaming” thing is because of the lack of a decent navigation control option. How can you truly control a game with one hand and no mouse. Which is why this concept of a Pop-Up Joystick is such an interesting idea.
