Dig This: Orders of Magnitude can make you feel either very big or very small, depending on the viewpoint you choose to assume.
I wasn't alone at that little shindig in Las Vegas a couple of weeks ago. There were easily 140,000 other folks at CES, and at least half were in front of me in the cab lines. It's taken me this long to recover.
EveryPC Worldeditor attending CES submits their favorite--and not so favorite--products and observations for the annual CES roundup. I got a handful of items into the story, but missed the deadline for a bunch more. Read on for my favorite weird products.
Gaudiest Cell Phone Accessory: The Cellular Bracelet--"Fashion for the Future," or just plain loony? The silly thing is designed to flash when you get a call. Not dopey enough for you? No problem. The bracelet also flashes while you're making a call. It's $21, comes in three colors, and you can order one at the Cellular Jewelry site.
Craziest Means of Locomotion: The eXkate is an electric skateboard that uses a wireless remote control. You can scoot along at up to 15 mph for more than 200 miles on the Extreme 4.0 model; another model flies at 22 mph. Prices range from $123 to $270. Catch the video of someone zipping along at CES.
Dopiest Light Show: The Farm Fresh Lightcast Lightshow (about $40) is a portable light show that connects to a music source--say, an MP3 player or, if you're a masochist, your son's guitar. With 33 LEDs of various colors, you can, and I'm quoting here, "create the ultimate synchronized light show experience."
Creepiest Robot: Hands down, this honor goes to WowWee's animatronic Elvis bust. Something about the bust, which sings, speaks, and curls its lip in The King's patented sneer, just weirded me out.
For the rest of my CES report, read " Tips and Tweaks: High-Tech CES News" and " Bass's CES 2007 Picks and Pans."
Dig This: Dos vebzaytl vos ir zukht iz nishto. Got that? No? How about this one: Waut jie siejtje ess bloos nich too fingje. Still no idea? It's "404 File Not Found" in zillions of languages. [Thanks, Jeff K.]
