As a kid of the 80’s and 90’s, I really only purchased 1 or 2 vinyl albums in my life time. My parents bought me one of those all-in-one audio systems which weighed about 3 oz., had a turntable, duel tape-decks, and AM/FM radio all in one plastic, faux mahogany veneered box. It was kick-ass […]

I spent last night playing with my new toy, Verizon’s XV6700 pda phone, and came across something that I have been dreaming of for quite some time. I can officially and consistently stream internet radio over my cell phone thanks to Verizon’s new data network and the innovative folks at KEXP in Seattle.

A few years ago I found myself at an audio crossroads. I had just spent 2 years gutting and rebuilding my house and now had a brand new apartment with in-ceiling speakers/volume controls in my kitchen, bedroom and of course the bathroom and a 7.1 Channel Home Theater in my living room.

If you are like me then you probably have 10 different remote controls strewn throughout your living room (or if you are extremely tidy you have 10 remotes perfectly aligned on your coffe table in alphabetical order). It seems like everything today comes with it’s own remote. I just bought a 30$ Rotating Tower Fan […]

Looks like the folks over at MIT have created a device that has to the ability to tell you whether the person on the other end of the phone is an ass or not. God help me.

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are developing software for cell phones that would analyze speech patterns and […]
