Bell Bottoms, miniskirts, record players, and dance moves have all been altered and transferred from one generation to the next, making what was once old, new again. Lifestyles have adjusted and changed over the years, and now we are currently living in a digitally obsessed world where we want everything instantly, therefore, it is no wonder that the Instant Polaroid Camera has also joined the list of what is making a comeback. …

Just about everyone who is familiar with Google Maps has explored a distant land at one point or another. Big cities like Moscow, Sydney, and Jerusalem are accessible in ways that we could have hardly imagined a decade ago. As Google continues to expand their catalog of cities on Google Maps Street View, they are finding ways to reach the most remote communities. In the video below, they went to Cambridge Bay, a tiny community with a distinct culture and people that most would never have known about without this promo piece. For better or for worse, Google is opening our eyes to people and places that…

One of the most advanced technologies as a kid growing up in the 80’s was a VTech Talking Whiz Kid; many of you may remember learning from this gaming system with its external features looking much like a little briefcase when it closed or almost like today’s laptops until the handle popped up. Reminiscing over this retro device allows one to see how much a laptop does replicate the look even with a pull button at the front to open the Talking Whiz Kid, who knew then that similar styled devices would be popular computing devices of today (though fortunately we do not need cartridges, am I right?)…

You love Dungeons and Dragons, Harry Potter and Wizards magical powers that are all wrapped up within their wands. A wand allows for them to be in control and to make things appear like magic. You can have your very own wand that becomes your television remote control. …

Our desks are becoming more cluttered every day from the papers that need filing to the trinkets and photos we like to show to remember we are still human. Unfortunately keyboards take up too much space, and can make room for taking notes a little more difficult on a desk that has hardly any capacity at all. Making space is something we often try and taking time to re-organize constantly almost seems futile since come Monday morning your desk will look like a torpedo hit it and any additional space becomes unrecognizable. Many of us often forget what our desks even look like underneath all of the work…

I have seen my share of advertisements or marketing ploy’s as many of you have as well but Red Bull has really made me feel like I have wings after watching a recent YouTube video to promote their brand. …

  There is nothing quite like a good old-fashioned camera to flash back to a time when the Beatles where popular and the “pixie” cut was a hairstyle every lady wanted. Cameras were very popular than too, much like today and the Diana camera was one that wasn’t meant to become as popular as it did in the early sixties. In fact, the Diana camera was sold to be a novelty item, an all-plastic camera designed by Lomography.  After marketed, to their surprise the Diana camera impressed many photographers with its effects, from multiple exposures to light leaks; perhaps it was the original three-dimensional…

What would a Thanksgiving tradition be without the Thanksgiving Parade hosted by the popular store we know as Macy’s? Every year we huddle around the TV to watch the giant floats, marching bands and share in the delight of generations past and present. …

Today is Thanksgiving in the United States of America, a day in which we count our blessings, break bread with family and friends and take the day to celebrate each other. It is a day we are to forgive the bad within the world and to put aside our differences. People travel from around the world to fill seats at a table that is surrounded by their loved ones, but today is not the only day for good to happen, in fact it happens all the time and is often caught on tape. We have security cameras added in various locations around the world in the hopes that it will keep us safe or to catch a thief or criminal in the act….

Holy Batman and Robin, this is one of the most amazing replicas I have ever seen. The attention to detail makes you go POW!! Or BOOM! This replica is one that Adam West drove in the 1966 TV series. It is of course extremely expensive and meant to be purchased by those cape crusaders that have money to burn, however this glorious marvel is drool worthy. …
