Pen Holder Digital Picture Frame

August 19, 2008

pen-holder-picture-framePicture frames have become more popular over the years. Now they are starting to show up in various places other then a regular frame you hang on your wall. The latest I came across was a digital photo frame built in to a pen holder.

Features

* DIGITAL PHOTO FRAME WITH PENCIL CUP
* 1.5″ LCD SCREEN
* HOLDS UP TO 70 IMAGES
* FEATURES RECHARGEABLE BATTERY
* INCLUDES USB CABLE & SOFTWARE
* 128 x 128 resolution, slideshow mode with adjustable settings, time/date display, alarm clock, rechargeable internal lithium-ion battery, cup holds pens/pencils/clips/etc., auto shut off, software and USB cable included

Although a bit bizarre it’s kind of a cool idea as it is an object you might easily have on your desk and ideal for flicking through pictures of your family.

The picture frame pen holder costs $32.99 from Gadgeta.

‘Voltron’ Movie is Being Made for Real

August 18, 2008

Another day, another chance for Hollywood to hastily scrape the lining of the 1980s’ uterus, hoping something they can rake out will resemble a movie if they project some light through it. This time: Voltron.

Fox-based New Regency has put robot project “Voltron: Defender of the Universe” into turnaround.

Ryan Kavanaugh’s financing and production venture Relativity Media is in negotiations to back the property, though on a more moderate budget, utilizing the type of cost-effective technology employed in films including “300.”

Last summer, New Regency picked up the rights to the property, adapted by scribe Justin Marks, who’s behind Warner Bros.’ bigscreen versions of “He-Man” and “Green Arrow.”

Marks’ take is described as a post-apocalyptic tale set in New York City and Mexico, where five survivors of an alien attack band together and end up piloting the five lion-shaped robots that combine and form the massive sword-wielding Voltron that helps battle Earth’s invaders.

The worst part will be when I see the trailer in the theater and inevitably hear some kids talking about how it looks like a Power Rangers rip-off. “Hey, idiots, Voltron was around first! No, you’re an old nerd!”

18k Gold Plated Mobile Phone Watch

August 18, 2008

18k-cell-phone-watchAlthough mobile phone watches have been available for a while, I have never actually had chance to use one yet. The slightly larger then normal watches have a SIM card slot in which you put your regular SIM and then you can make and take calls from your watch.

The latest mobile phone watch I came across just now is a Bluetooth multimedia phone watch that also comes plated in 18k gold. It features a 1.5 inch touch screen display which is colour. 1GB of memory is included in this phone and it also sports a 1.3 megapixel camera. Calls are made and received through a bluetooth headset which you pair with the mobile. I assume that this headset can also be used to listen to audio with too.

Features

* 18K gold plated watch decorative frame
* Free bluetooth headset earphone included (for making and receiving calls)
* 1.5-inch vibrant color touch screen LCD display
* Quad-band GSM network support: 850/900/1800/1900 Mhz
* 1GB TF flash memory card included
* MicroSD/TF memory card slot allows up to 1GB memory expansion
* 1.3 mega pixel digital camera (manufacturer claimed)
* Supports GPRS/WAP/MP3/MP4
* Plays MP3/MP4
* Bluetooth V2.0 with A2DP stereo music support
* Comes with a 700mAh rechargeable lithium battery
* 100~240V AC charger included
* Languages: English, French, Spanish, German, Vietnam, Russian, Arabic, Thai, and Italian
* Comes with USB data charging cable and headset earphone
* Spare wristwatch strap included (maybe the phone is too heavy and it has a tendency to snap the wrist band? That’s my guess ;))

The 18k gold mobile phone watch (GSM) costs $163.

‘Curious Case of Benjamin Button’ TV Spot, Courtesy of Strange TV-Recording Person

August 18, 2008

A new preview of David Fincher’s The Curious Case of Benjamin Button ran during the Olympics last night. Fortunately for those who missed it, someone happened to be recording their television with a digital camera at the time (which people do, apparently), so here’s it is. As a warning, the footage is pretty bad, and whoever recorded it is either on life support or stuck in an episode of 24 and about to go to commercial.
