Cannon roundup — EMP cannon, Shock cannon, Vortex cannon

  • EMP cannon. Mount one of these babies on your trunk and eliminate that tailgating problem. 
  • Shock Cannon and here is how to get that solicitor off your porch.
  • Vortex Cannon video. Probably a bit more powerful than I ever thought about building at Halloween.

Stuff I want but don't need — Post Father's Day edition

Had a great father’s day, got some cool photo tools, some books that look great, and a couple of games since I have played Left4Dead and Fallout3 to death. Here’s some stuff I didn’t get and probably for good reason.

Physical Stuff:

  • Faux fountains via Scott Loftesness. Cool looking and an inspiration for Halloween.
  • IP PBX tips for home. I was all excited about this several years ago but increasingly not so…having resident phone technology seems so backwards
  • Projects Watches wristwatches. Cool looking but increasingly I have given up on wristwatches.
  • Television emulator. I don’t know, I think the dogs would prefer to watch real TV.
  • Olympus PEN. Having just hauled the Canon up and down a mountain Sunday morning, the idea of a smaller form factor camera with great lenses is appealing.
  • Super Duper Denon pre-amp. Just can’t face all the cabling problems tho of disconnecting my current and connecting in a new.

Virtual Stuff:
* Mint.com. Like the idea of automated analysis of my financials, but I am just not going to give another party access to all my financial credentials. They should license these tools to financial service firms for use on their own websites.
* Cisco Network Magic. Nice review. Congrats to the former Pure Networks team.
* Filemaker Bento iPhone app. I regularly get sucked into thinking I need a database and this app is sucking me in again. I know tho I will enter 7 records and abandon the damn thing so I am holding off.

My fascination with strange lighting

  • Lamp with Pigtails | Design Milk. Seems vaguely creepy, a bunch of these with dimmers in the living room for a halloween party would be eerie.
  • Love these egg lights too. Fully lit they are kind of cheery. Put a dim pulsing bulb in there and it feels like the lower deck of some alien spaceship wreckage.
