Go Go OBAMA!
September 23rd, 2008What's the only thing worse than the thought of Sarah Palin becoming the president of the United States should John McCain get elected and kick the bucket in office, you ask?
This:
That's right... If you have a way to flash a custom cartridge for a Nintendo DS, you too can download and be the proud owner of a copy of Obama Says: Yes We Can.
Jonathan Says: No Way In Hell will I ever think about downloading this Simon Says monstrosity. Don't get me wrong, I'm not an 'Obama hater'... (I discriminate equally against Republicans and Democrats) I just can't stand the commercialization and cavalier attitude towards the upcoming election, especially another one that is so important. I guess I'm just burned out on politics though, thanks to biased information outlets, ill-intentioned politicians and 24-hour-a-day garbage news networks.
On a lighter note, I think this is the only time you'll see me use the tags 'nintendo ds' and 'presidential election' in the same post. Hopefully...
All Hail Optimus Maximus!
May 6th, 2008Ready for the ultimate geek peripheral guaranteed to make you an instant target for murder by all your friends and coworkers? Well feast your eyes on this:
The Optimus Maximus Keyboard.
My friends over at Thinkgeek.com began selling these recently, and went out of stock within a couple weeks. Don't worry though, more will be in stock by the time my b-day rolls around again... 
So why is this bad boy so special? Let me explain:
The Art Lebedev design studio in Russia designed this bad boy some time ago and has just now managed to get it into production. This keyboard is extra-special, becuase in addition to the USB2 hub and SD card slot, each key on this keyboard is actually a tiny OLED screen that can display any gif or Quicktime video @48x48 pixel resolution.
That's right, 113 programmable OLED screens. 
So what if it costs a whopping $1,600? I always wanted a really good reason to holdup a liquor store that didn't involve a crack habit...
