Awesome.

We're in the middle of Global Ignite Week right now, and the first video from Global Ignite Week is up: a behind the scenes description at Ignite LA of the OK Go music video we covered recently:

Ok Go had a video idea for the recorded version of "This Too Shall Pass". They approached Adam Sadowsky, president of Syyn Labs, to design a Rube Goldberg inspired...

Where can I buy one? :-)

Those press covering the Olympics sure do have a plum life. They bundle off to Vancouver for 16 days of watching ice-skaters embarrassing themselves, and ruthless Russian bobsledders showing their dark sides. Oh, and they get lens-shaped thermoses.

The story goes that a Microsoft employee by the name of Josh Weisberg wandered into the Canon...

You know, for all the praise the iPhone has received in its time, we never thought it looked quite Matrix-y enough. Thankfully, that all-important deficiency has been remedied by a man named Ryan Glasgow up in Portland, who has just started selling the above case to all who care to have one. It's built out of stainless steel on the...

Read this.

Sometimes this content is so easy, it practically writes itself. Especially when I’m just repeating stuff I’ve written before. Again and again. But it bears repeating.

So you’ve reached that special time in your life. And you’re headed to Ignite Portland 8, tonight. Exciting isn’t it? You may be experiencing some funny feelings about Ignite.

I'm Screenshot Famous again! :-)

It looks like Google has decided against releasing new iPhone apps for the time being and has focused most of its mobile development efforts on web apps instead. While the Buzz web app is very good, however, it can't quite rival the speed and comfort of using a native iPhone app. Fiam's Buzzie is the first Buzz app for the iPhone...

Ignite Portland

Ignite Portland 8 is upon us! This Wednesday night, March 3, the Bagdad Theater is *the* place to be in Portland. The talk lineup is awesome (natch), admission is free, and you know you want to come.

If you thought the downfall of Twitter began when Oprah said it was the best thing ever, well, you're probably right, but this latest toy from Mattel won't help to improve the situation. It's called Puppy Tweets, a little clasp that hangs from your pooch's collar and detects what it's up to -- presumably...

Google Buzz could quickly become the most popular location-based service on the Internet. Not only does Buzz integrate itself into Gmail, which will give it a large mainstream user base, but Buzz also puts geolocation front and center on its mobile sites. In addition, the new Buzz layer in the Google Maps mobile interface...

Adidas released a line of Star Wars trainers. Some of them are inspired by various characters or spaceships, like a Stormtrooper, Tie Fighter, or X-Wing pilot (above). One style has several iconic scenes emblazoned right on the shoes. Each pair comes in a blister pack, inspired I guess by the old action figures. I can't decide if I...

I'd totally rock this decal. :-)

We've seen a black-and-white Iron Man MacBook decal before, but this full-color one is much more striking. Although you've gotta be OK with equating Apple's logo with the powers of a superhero. Fanboys. [Etsy via Geeky Gadgets]

Nice. :-)

As soon as the iPad was announced, Lego fans wondered what it would look like in brick form. Check out the homage by Joe Meno, editor of AFOL bible BrickJournal.
