Maximo Concepts Mouse Pad Speakerphone w/Caller ID

Computers, Gizmo of the Day / By Doug Felteau / July 31, 2006

When the experts were talking about convergence over the past couple of years, I have a feeling they were not thinking about mating a mousepad with a speakerphone, alarm clock, calculator and called ID. I could be wrong though.

Anyway, this little gizmo should help you maximize your desk area. If you are truly a geek you probably use a softphone, a PIM, and know the quickest way to pull up a calculator on your computer and therefore do not need these physical devices… but if you’re a geeklet you could use this gizmo as a stepping stone to greater geekdom.

Squeezebox v3

Audio/Video, Home Theater, Gizmo of the Day / By Khalid Hosein / July 18, 2006

Back in late 2004, we featured the very first Squeezebox from Slim Devices. The folks at Slim Devices have stayed on track and have come out with version 3 of the this cool audio streaming box. Just in case you don’t want to read the description for the 1st Squeezebox we posted, here it is again in a nutshell: stream your music from your PC to your stereo via the Squeezebox. Now you can do that either wirelessly or wired (via Ethernet). As with the 1st model, you can browse through your whole music collection via remote control or web browser. I must say I prefer this model’s upgraded looks, and the display is a lot clearer. Music formats supported: AAC (on Mac or Windows), and AIFF, FLAC, MP3, Ogg Vorbis, WAV or WMA (Windows only).

Friendly Robotics RL1000 RoboMower Mower and Docking Station

Gizmo of the Day, Sports, Health & Fitness, Outdoors / By Doug Felteau / August 24, 2005

Who said lawn work can’t be geeky?

The Geeks at GfG have found that we can make just about anything geeky and with the help of the Friendly Robotics guys, cutting the lawn can become a study in how to turn something utterly manly into a sweatless and time saving geek activity.

If it’s anything like the Roomba, you’ll waste the time you save by not cutting the grass by watching the grass be cut by the Robomower (with Docking Station!).
