07.21.2006Eupa Mini Grill
George Foreman has nothing on this. When it comes to finding a cute and convenient "hot plate" the Eupa Mini Grill serves up tasty meals for the single gal (or guy) looking to save space in the kitchen. Promoted as just a little larger than a standard piece of paper (exact measurements: 11.7”x8.3”x3.1”) the Mini Grill seems like a great way to get things cooking when you're either too tired or too unfamiliar with food prep to make a bigger production for yourself. Perfect for that high-school aged cousin just heading off to university or that friend of yours who only eats top ramen. And best yet, the cord wraps around the base for easy storage.

07.21.2006I am in love with a little Armadillo
Peter Stock quit his job to try his hand at independent game development, and nine months later he released Armadillo Run. This home grown hit that's surprised the video game industry, and made Peter a hero in the homebrew video game scene. Though weighing in at less than two megabytes this game is hands down the most gaming fun I've had since watching Ben Kuchera play Guitar hero. Armadillo Run is a great little game that uses goal oriented Rube Goldberg contraptions to move a rolling armadillo towards a goal. The machines built in the game respond to real world physics, but professional structural engineers won't have an advantage. The scenarios involved in moving that cute little ball are just too crazy to come from a textbook. The learning process involved in building amazing machines to accomplish mechanical tasks brings a great sense of self satisfaction as trial and error teaches the relationships between space, velocity, and strength. The amount of fun pulled from building a gigantic rubber hammer to play croquet with a rolled up armadillo is staggering. Some levels require elaborate contraptions to circumvent pre-built obstacles that block our intrepid Armadillo, while others levels have nothing in them and require a framework and propulsion systems. I've built some crazy machines using rockets and elastic and girders and sheet metal. To be honest, I feel like Macguyver every time I sit down to play. The game is available solely from Peter's website for $20. There's a full featured demo that features a ten level tutorial, and six levels of full game play. Fair warning: Don't download the demo if you need to get work done today. Posted by Johnny

07.21.2006MyFoodPhone : Beating your bulge is just a click away
According to the 1999-2002 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, more than two-thirds of adult Americans over age 20 are overweight and a third of these are considered obese. And this population is exactly what Sprint's latest MyFoodPhone service is all set to target. Sprint phone subscribers in the U.S can now avail themselves of this unique service to control their diets. So where do you start? Fill out a pre-defined dietary information form on the MyFoodPhone website - this includes statistics such as blood pressure, your current weight, the carbs, proteins, fats that you consume.Then, using your camera phone, you take pictures of your meals and send them across. After analysing these details, "nutrition advisors" from MyFoodPhone will send you a personalized 90-sec video by email telling you what you are doing wrong (or right). At $10 a month for the service (plus photo transfer fees), you get video-based advice from the nutritionists every 2 weeks. The idea is that taking photographs of the food would tweak your conscience and help you eat (and exercise) right. But what if you don't take those photos? You would be forced to at least consider the $10 a month that you are shelling out. So go ahead and gorge on all those delicious butter cakes . . . but just remember - your camera is watching!

07.21.2006For those who eat at the computer
For as long as I've worked on a computer, I've eaten at a computer, which means sticky keys and upset system administrators. It is a little hard to believe that it took someone this long to get this product out, but I'm glad that someone did. Korean designer, Duck Young Kong, has created a tray that sits on top of a keyboard. Being able to touch type is probably required, but everything has its price. Posted by Ray
