Photo Locations are a snap with PhotoTracker
World travellers will be thrilled with the PhotoTracker by GISTEQ. It’s a GPS tagger which synchs with just about any digital camera and then processes and records location data for any picture taken. Later, shutterbugs can use the included software to incorporate that information, along with handy geotags to the photos as they being copied from the memory card to the PC for editing and printing.
Now why is this such a big deal? I mean, GPS photo trackers have been around for a few years now, right? Well, the advantage of the PhotoTracker is it’s size. Others are the size of a small ipod and have to be affixed to the camera using it’s hotshoe. But the PhotoTracker is pocket size, which means that it can easily fit just about anywhere in proximity to the digital camera – your camera bag, your pocket or even your handbag.

The Home Swimmer
It’s no secret that swimming laps is one of the best low-impact exercise regimens one can dive into in the never ending quest to get in shape. However, not very many people have Olympic size swimming pools in their back yards to take advantage and achieve their goals.
Well, with the Home Swimmer, smaller pools and even a portable “dough boy” style pool can be used for lap swimming. It can even be brought on a trip or used by business travellers since it weighs less than 5 Lbs and comes with it’s own carrying tote bag. This makes it hotels, apartment buildings, even schools.

‘Let’s-a-go’! Mario Kart, live!
Thinkgeek have just received a cool new RC toy, with a special appeal to us nostalgic console buffs that have enjoyed Mario Kart. Just imagine the little guy rolling through your hallway or outside on the sidewalk while going ‘Hey-a, you very good-a’.
The kart is 12 inches long and is about just as high. For added nostalgia and ‘realism’, the remote control is styled after the GameCube controller.

It’s a bird, It’s a plane, It’s Doctor Steven Hawking!!
We’re all basically morons when compared to the great Dr. Steven Hawking (Sir), a man so smart, his minimally moving
pinky can likely control gravity and crush us with but a thought.
I’m sure by now you’ve read that he got to take a trip on the vomit comet thanks to some nice people at Zero gravity Corp and Peter Diamandis (you may remember he worked on that little X-Prize thingy). Talk about getting some great free publicity.
Doctor Hawking fascinates me in many ways, most of all, that he is such a survivor. I have a good friend that lost his mother to the same affliction, and well, his survival and ability to thrive is beyond amazing (Yes the A.L.S. people do have info on him that will hopefully help others).
Anyway, they took him up on the vomit comet for a ride yesterday. They were going to give him one go at it then see how he felt, if he was ok, they’d go for more.
Apparently they only got in 8 rides!!!! (7 more after the first one)
UPDATE check the video!
He then said, “Space here I come.” Continue reading » It’s a bird, It’s a plane, It’s Doctor Steven Hawking!!
