Meet Pandapple, the new Sanrio character that came out in September. Though he looks like a panda-apple hybrid, he's a purebred panda wearing an apple hat.
Pandapple loves everything apple and his best friend is a caterpillar named Imomushi. Born in Shanghai, this mischievous, cheefrul panda moved to Southern California to live on a fruit farm, and his life goal is to grow the world's biggest apple.
The initial set of products for this character ...

We've all seen the coolio remodeling gigs featured on HGTV and Apartment Therapy and thought "I can totally do that." Sadly, so many of us are limited not by our mad ninja skills, but by a sheer lack of space in which to build cool stuff. I have a nice oak table that's awaiting refinishing, and it's going to wait until I can borrow a garage. DIY kids in the ...

DVD Jon is all over the news, again. Where his team once hacked the encryption that prevented copying DVDs this time his sights are set on stop-gap software that will remove a large barrier to the digital rights game. DoubleTwist Ventures has picked up Jon Johansen to help develop code that will enable competing players to sidestep the restrictions that Apple has placed on who is allowed to play in the iTunes playground.
As an example, ...

What does it take to be an A-List blogger when there are over 57 million blogs out there (and still growing)? Well, according to one measure, at least 500 other blogs linking to you in the last 6 months (alas, fame can be so fleeting). You can calculate your blogebrity standing using this Technorati-powered widget made by Terry Ng at Kineda, who was inspired by Dave Sifry's latest report on the State of the Blogosphere. ...

I often marvel at how advancement in lifestyle seems to always lead us right back to something that we originally started off with. I can think of at least a dozen products belonging to my grandparents’ era that are on the shelves of chic boutiques today and are being sold at abominably high prices too.
And while we are on the subject of product lines making a comeback, retro refrigerators from Big Chill are worth mentioning. In this case, ...

Griffin technology feels it's time for you to evolve, cut the chord already! At CES they were showing their brand-new Evolve wireless speaker system for your iPod, which is comprised of a charging base and two cube-shaped speakers. Just simply place the Evolve cubes wherever you want to hear the music, or move them room to room. Me, I'd put them outside when we have a party, keeping in mind that they're not all-weather of course.
Each speaker ...

Last month, Wine Innovations sent me a sample unit of their ReServe wine preservation system. For those who don’t know, I spend my weekends as a bartender and spirit sommelier in an upscale Speakeasy in St Louis. I probably open a hundred bottles in a given weekend, and I can identify a bad one from a mile away.
Wine preservation is one of those Holy Grail items in the restaurant business, and everyone has their own voodoo methods. ...

One of my favorite toys at CES this year is the RCA Small Wonder, a digital camcorder which is "EZ," to quote the packaging. With this "point-and-shoot" MPEG-4 digital camcorder, there are no tapes or discs to buy, and the device runs on standard AA batteries, meaning that you won't be trying to shoot a family milestone and realize you forgot to charge the battery. At 60 minutes of standard-quality recording time (30 minutes of high-quality video), you're not ...
For those who've always had the slightly obsessive-compulsive urge to know exactly how many calories you burn in a day (including all the downtime spent snoozing or on more sedentary activities), the Accelerometer may just be the device for you. Small and light enough to clip to your belt or waist, this device is designed so that you can have it on you all day without even realizing that it's there. It relies on a precision motion sensor, "similar to ...

Remember Datadots, the theft-prevention adhesive that you can use on your gadgets? Here comes a cousin with a couple of additional faculties – the STOP Security Plate is a bar-coded plate specifically aimed at laptop protection. Once you stick the bar-coded sticker onto your laptop, any attempt to remove it will not only require phenomenal effort, but will also leave a permanent mark on the laptop which says “Stolen Property 1-800-488-STOP.” So if someone happens to ...
