Funny hat
I’m used to wearing different hats. I’m a Christian and a hacker, and a husband and a father. No big deal. But lately, I’ve started realizing that one of my hats is very strange, and utterly consuming. Somehow, I ended up in the restaurant business. The path was straight and clear. The land and the [...]

Cannondale’s mind-blowing Simon electronic suspension system hands-on
If you're a bicyclist or just a tech-minded person with a hankerin' for cool suspension technology, you've got to check out the videos after the break. One is a short demonstration to whet your appetite, the other a rather longer explanation from Cannondale engineer Stanley Song of just how the thing works. What is this thing? It's Simon, a fully electronic and nearly-instantly adjustable suspension system that does away with all the complex mechanical internals of a traditional high-end suspension system (shims, springs, valves, needles, knobs...) and replaces it with an electro-mechanical device that can near infinitely vary not only suspension strength but also ride height instantly based on road conditions. It even has an LCD on the bars. Interest piqued? Click through to see it in action.

Kodak touchscreen Slice camera, underwater Playsport camcorder, and friends hands-on
Where do you show most of your digital photos to friends? Probably via Facebook or Flickr or the like, but many consumers simply do the most logical thing: turn their camera around and squint at the dinky LCD. That was the idea behind the Slice, announced yesterday and more or less designed around a lovely 3.5-inch touchscreen that may not be quite as big as a 4 x 6 print, but it's far more versatile. The 14 megapixel camera has a solid feel in the hand and looks great. For those feeling a little more adventurous there's the 1080p Playsport camcorder, which looks and feels more or less like a beefy Flip. To prove its disrespect toward moisture, the camera was unceremoniously plunked into a fish bowl, where it seemed hardly perturbed. Finally is the Pulse digital photo frame, a somewhat pedestrian-looking seven-inch, 800 x 600 model that sports the ability to receive photos via e-mail, so you can shoot those pics of the grandkids off to nanna without her having to touch a thing. Pictures of all that and a pair of new EasyShare models in the gallery below. Oh, and a crab, too.

Fridge That Suits Your Kitchen
The refrigerator is an everyday appliance in almost any kitchen that you care to mention. In short, think of the last time you saw a kitchen that did not have a a href=http://www.else-electronic.com/ target=_blankrefrigerator/a, and you will see how important this modern attachment has become to everyday life. Nevertheless, picking out a refrigerator takes a little bit of time and a little bit of thought in order to make sure that you buy the right fridge for your needs, and one that suits the style and size of your kitchen. This article will take a view at a few considerations to keep in mind in order to make the choice a little bit easier.br /
br /
The first thing to keep in mind, of course, is the size of the kitchen. It may sound a fairly obvious thing to say, because it seems obvious that the size of the kitchen is of supreme importance when you pick out any kind of kitchen appliance, especially one that is of a large size such as a refrigerator. Nevertheless, it can often be the most evident things that are forgotten when a option is made, and it is amazing the number of people who will look at a refrigerator without really thinking whether or not a particular size of model will fit in the available space in the kitchen once they get the item back home. A good salesman will usually ask you about the dimensions of your kitchen, and will even come and take measurements to make sure that there are no nasty surprises when you get the thing delivered.br /
br /
The next thing to notice is the style of the refrigerator itself. Nowadays most kitchen attachments come in several different finishes and it is usually possible to find one that will fit in very well with the overall style of your kitchen, something which is very important to most people, and something which is essential if you have a real eye for design or are particularly house proud. The old favorite of course is the pure white model, since this usually fits in very well with any kind of color type even if the other colors in the kitchen occur to be fairly dark in appearance. But, one of the most popular choices in the last several years has been the stainless steel model, and by that I mean the model that comes in brushed steel. This gives a very commercial appearance to your kitchen, and although some people may think it is quite harsh, many people think it really does add an element of style to the room.br /
The next thing to think of before you get a refrigerator home is to make sure that you have not missed out any specific alternative that might be significant to you. One thing that comes to mind is whether or not you are an avid wine drinker, and if this is true it is a really good option to make sure that there is enough room to keep the bottles, or maybe there is a special section within the refrigerator specially made to chill wine, as any wine drinker knows, wine served at the wrong temperature can be a complete disaster and so it is better to make sure that your fridge can cope with this well it is important to you.br /
br /
Overall, picking out a fridge can be a simpleissue, but it is usually the most evident things need to be borne in mind in order to make the proper choice.br /
