This is kinda funky, if you own a TV and never use it there is a new add on which is perfect for you. Hang a bunch of plastic cubes off your TV and you get a realyl funky disco floor wall. I want one of these but I kinda wonder what it looks like hanging off an LCD tv or a plasma, somehow I don't think it will look as good. Check one out out here (via: Boing boing)

Kimono - notebook bag
This is kinda cool, its a Kimono notebook bag. Not much info on it but I think this is one of those great geek gifts for a girlfriend. Can only get one of these in Japan it seems, gonna try and fish around to find more info on it. (via: Engadget)
DUDE CHECK OUT MY Gotive H42 PDA
This is definately made for your weekend warrior or your techy surfer/snow boarder dude. The screen is ridiculously wide at 6.2", runs Windows Mobile 5.0 on a 520Mhz Intel CPU. Comes with all the standard bells and whistles you would expect from one of these things WiFi, Bluetooth, GSM. But the key thing is its shock proof and I haven't read that its waterproof but I'm guessing it is. Basically this is the hardcore version of your pda phone. More details (in French) here (via: ubergizmo)
Harry Potter - GoF
I caught a sneak peak of GoF which is finally making its way to HK. I must say i really enjoyed this film, I know I know its a a childrens book but its good! Can't say I'd pay to watch it again as I would King Kong though.
Airprotek - Motorcyclist Airbag Jacket
If you've ever seen an exercise treadmill, you'll know that a lot of them come with this little string that your suppose to attach to yourself when you start running. Most people seem to ignore this string but the string is attached to an emergency stop switch which will stop the treadmill if, for example, you trip on your shoelace and fall on your face.
Airprotek has a similar concept in some respects. When you get on your bike you attach a string to the motorcycle and if you get in an accident and fly off your bike the jacket inflates giving support to areas like your neck, back, shoulders, well you get the picture. So if your thrown from your bike or just happen to forget to take off the safety when you get off your bike, your jacket will get pumped and hopefully reduce injury. BUT if you get rammed by an 18 wheeler truck and your body never leaves the bike, this jacket ain't going to do much good for you.
I think this jacket is a great idea, just wish they had a version for snowboarders so that massive wipeouts wouldn't hurt so much. Read more here (via: Gizmag)
Black and White DS
Black and White was a cool cross over God simulator - RTS games. The first and 2nd version for the PC had breath taking graphics (at the time respectively for each game) and really orginal God mechanics. I'm quite excited to see how it will pan out for the DS, as the DS seems to be the ideal platform for this type of RTS. Though it bugs me a bit that another potential hit on NDS is another pet sim,I love RTS games and I can't see that many RTS games really working on NDS but this might be one of them. (via:4CR)
VK Mobile Phone Knock Off Kings
Mobile phones these days are all pretty much the same. You got ones packed with functions, then you got the fashion phones and lastly your basic phones. You don't get much of a difference asides from that and the look. The look of a phone is pretty much what makes a brand, VK is a big Korean company and they seem to be borrowing looks from just about every other company, I see flashes of iPod, Moto RAZR and Sansung. However these guys aren't the knock off Kings of the mobile industry, MP4 is, I gotta find some pictures but they are the knock off kings for sure! (via:Engadget)
King Kong, my review
All I can say is WOW. Peter Jackson has done a fantastic job. It helps that I had seats in the dead centre of the theatre and wasn't rubber necking the whole movie. Even my girlfriend loved it enough to say she'd watch it twice. There are some moments when the special effects dont' look that great, BUT seeing it sorta ends up looking like old skool movie special effects so you won't be that bugged by it. I'm definately going to watch this again before it stops showing in the theatres, and can't wait for the extended DVD version lots of stuff wasn't in the movie, even the, "Scream Anne Scream for your life!" clip seen in the trailer wasn't in there. Supposedly the DVD will have a 4.5 hour version (the movie being 3 hours), geesh Peter Jackson is becoming the Lord of the Extended DVDs!
Birthday swag
Was my birthday last week and as a result I walked away with some new gear. The new Moto PEBL (from my best friend) and a new Sony DVD 5.1 sound speakers system (from my beloved girlfriend). I endeavor to write reviews for these along with a review of my SP-350 soon.
Gold Motorola RAZR v3i
DAAAAAMN this is nuts, we now have a GOLD V3. Its probably super expensive and I expect a lot of footballers wives to be rocking this phone soon. It seems that it will only be on sale at D&G boutiques around the world. (via:Gizmodo)
