Space Wire Cube PC

Friday, June 22nd, 2007

Now that’s a small computer. The Space Wire Cube is a 2 inch square with a 200 or 300mhz processor, 64 MB of ram, and 16 MB of internal flash memory. That’s not much flash memory but the device will also take a CF memory card, which would presumably be the spot for the OS. Via Technabob.

Wallet spanner

Thursday, June 21st, 2007

Don’t you wish you could tighten nuts without carrying around a toolbelt like Schneider from One Day at a Time? Maybe then you could get somewhere with Bonnie Franklin. Well, now you can carry a wrench set in your wallet. Suave.

Jack PC

Tuesday, June 19th, 2007

Jack PCsits right in your wall socket. It runs Windows CE, has 4 USB ports, and 128 MB of ram. The chip should run at the equivalent speed of a 1.2 ghz computer, although it’s an AMD RISC chip. And it runs IE 6, which sounds a little behind the times (no firefox?), but that oughta be enough to run web applications. 200 pounds will get you one.

It’s so power-efficient, it can also be powered directly from an ethernet jack. More information here.

Indoor Aviation

Tuesday, June 19th, 2007

The Megatech Avion is a plane small enough to fly your home, and presumably light enough to fly near a ming vase. Watch the video, for no other reason than that the accompanying music is like aural xanax.

Opera Mini

Tuesday, June 19th, 2007

The next best thing to the iPhone might just be Opera Mini, a new free browser for cellphones. It has the same zoom-in to the page effect (minus the animation) as the iPhone Safari browser, and their website sports an Mac / PC parody ad, which wasted about thirty seconds of my life.

Correction

Monday, June 18th, 2007

Sink Positive has emailed me to correct the fact that the depicted product here is not theirs. It’s true: The real Sink positive has a trapezoidal bowl and was featured in NY Magazine here.

No great advance in nanotech or UMPC manufacture here, but I thought these were cute. Via BoingBoing.

25 Houses under 3000 Square Feet

Thursday, June 14th, 2007

Truth be told, 3000 square feet isn’t that small. That would be about six smallcaves, in fact. But it is sub-McMansion, and this new book serves as a beautiful reminder that bigger isn’t always necessarily better. The author, James Grayson Trulove, previously compiled a book on book of houses under 1500 square feet. Whether some of those are in here is beyond me, but Houses Between 1500 and 3000 Square Feet is an unwieldy title for a book, and not the most compelling concept, so I’d imagine there’s some sub-1500 items featured as well.
