    1. Now here’s the ultimate gadget for those who like to pretend they can play drums. DRUM PANTS. Go ahead, touch yourself. It’s legal. I wonder where the speakers are.

      1. All good things come in threes. Right?
        There are so many gadgets out there it boggles the mind. Here are the best.
        I think Leonardo posed a few good questions. I see people becoming slaves to their gadgets literally. Soon “Gadgets Anonymous” will be springing up all over the country as people’s eyeballs start twitching and falling out of their sockets. And what about the landfills? These gadgets come with built-in obsolescence as well as built-in toxic components. Can anyone say ” Super Cockroach?”

      2. It doesn’t roll, but it speaks in foreign languages, so I guess that’s pretty fun too, right? ;)

    P.S. Lumix really does take really good pictures in low light. In the March 10 comments I linked to a vid I made with a compact Lumix that is always in one pocket or another. They mutilated the original vid though. Which is of impressive quality under the circumstances.

    Is a gadget supposed to fullfil a human need…
    …or is a human need supposed to be made up to use a gadget?
    Is gadgets’s propagation whim-based?

    Both ways, gadgets’s frenzy often generates good general purpose technology.

    Still, human needs going adrift to fuel a self-justifying frenzy…
    does it make for a good economy? Does it make for a cost-effective use of resources?

    Interesting video, though. It leads to the gadget mindset and lifestyle, which like it or not, is a driving force of innovation.

    When I saw you with the guy that had the pen & notebook I thought “Ah, back to reality!” but NO! More high tech do-we-really-need-this-consumerism-but-it-may-lead-to-more-advanced-tech-but-for-what-true-purpose stuff.

    @Ellie: great episode but what is in your bag?!

    @Drew: get the girl a pen & notebook. She deserves it! The number of women I know out here in the real world which truly appreciate good tech I can count on 1 hand and not even use all 6 fingers! Get the girl a pen & notebook!

        Eddie,

        That one is a tuber.

        (You can usually tell by the goofy or juvenile name =80 . Plus, they come in waves.)

        They can’t hear you from this side. You have to go through the mirror to http://www.youtube.com/rocketboom and jam them there. And do so expeditiously, there are replies on this comment on that side.

        Another good reason to dam the tubers. Those who haven’t got history here, don’t event know that most of the conversation is a one-way echo. Pretty hard some visitors to the real McCoy I would say.

    I have a similar pen but not as cool, Mine basically records what i write on my paperwork and sends it to my phone via bluetooth so i can text it to my company instead of having to go and hand in all my paperwork at the end of the week i send it off once I’ve finished it.
    I think its the Logitech io2 digital pen,

      Why can’t the fucking Idaho potato be peeled the fucking shorter usual way?
