TO-GET (TV-B Gone)

2006-03-12T22:56:00.000-10:00

Take back your life with TV-B Gone. TV-B Gone is a little device that simply does one thing, turn TV's off. It looks similar to a car alarm remote (helps ya' keep discreet) , pressing its button will allow the device to cycle through several TV codes until it finds the correct one. Once the device finds the correct code, the TV will power off. So stop living the life of a zombie and get out and do something more creative with your time. Like shutting off TVs...haha!

Highly recommended, get yours here.

TO-PLAY (Linez)

2006-03-07T23:33:00.000-10:00

For those of you who like to play a simple puzzle game. This is it !!! I played it and thought it was cool and easy. It's a matter of clicking and placing your pointer where ever you want to place your next piece; making sure it is not blocked by existing squares or occupied by a square. The colors of the pieces have to be matched up diagonally, horizontally, and vertically. For those who are color-blind, you can use the number to match them all up. When you are ready to play. Create a nickname & then click on new game. Simple as that. Random numbers will be placed on the board and your object is to match 5 exact numbers/colors in a row earning you 10 points. Each time a match is made, they disappear from the screen, leaving empty squares for you to fill and strategize. The pieces of numbers on the bottom of the screen will be placed on the board to confuse and block you. Finally, the game is over when all squares on the game board are covered. Overall, from a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the highest. I rate this game a 6.

Here is the official link

Check it out, it's worth a try !!!! And good luck ~@:-{}

TO-GET (Tetran - Earbud Figures)

2006-03-04T22:59:00.000-10:00

Here's a product that's guaranteed to be a hit, it's a TETRAN. A little spikey character figure that doubles as a cable winder and a massager. Insert the earbuds in TETRAN's mouth and wind the cable around it's spikes and walla.....your done. It comes with a little chain like those found on most keychains, so your able to carry them around where ever you want. Feelin' a little stressed, then squeeze the heck out of TETRAN and get a relieving massage.

I can't wait to get a hold of one of these, I'm tired of trying to figure out where to stash my headphones when I'm on the run or in the mall. TETRAN is an ingenious idea. Stylish and fun it's a must have.

PROJECTS & LABS

2006-02-21T23:49:00.000-10:00

I've got many new projects tucked away in my little lab, which hopefully I can release. Often times one project spawns another and I end up with too many on my plate. One idea cancels another idea while another one re-generates the original thought bubble. Thus the delay....Zzzzzz! Seriously though, a few things are in the works...lookout for something soon. Something more custom???
