Anyone who knows me well enough will remember my obsession with BMX and the 1980s. These QWERTY grips for your bike? They remind me of something a dorkier Bob Haro would have used back on his first Freestyler. Not only do they match well with the white or black coloring that’s available, but at $8 a pair, they’re also some ...

Parents with younger children, listen up. This is a chalkboard fridge. By that, I mean that with a little time and money, you can turn the entire facade of your refrigerator into a damn chalkboard. This will keep your kids entertained for hours on end and will most likely keep them from drawing all over the walls. Essentially, you just ...

Dubbed ‘Project Natal’, the next step for the Xbox 360 will involve a full-body controller that senses a player’s motion. Think of the failed Sega Genesis peripheral, the Activator, except done right. It uses a camera to capture motion made ...

The original Crysis was the de facto title to test your computer rig with. If it didn’t run Crysis, your setup just wasn’t leet enough. This time around, Crytek is bringing its sequel to both PCs and consoles alike. While PS3 owners and PC owners should be safe, I worry about the ability of the 360’s hardware. Can it handle ...

UPDATE: Contest is over. Thanks to all who entered! Hey! Do you like music? Not good enough. We’re looking for readers who LOVE music and tunes. Know why?

Using an Arduino, hacker knowledge and a Nike+ iPod Serial to USB adapter, Nathan Seidle was able to rig up a system that constantly checks for his keyfob. When Nate gets close enough to his car, it opens up. When he walks away, it locks. The system worked flawlessly until he realized that while at work, the car would randomly ...
