Hugms: Hugs Over SMS

Hugms: Hugs Over SMS 03/31/2005 07:08 PM

Hugms, by Mark Argo (of .dot .dot .dot fame), is definitely in the running for the most bizarre Bluetooth-enabled device I've seen. The squeezable, torpedo-shaped hugging unit communicates with your Bluetooth-enabled cell phone to convert the power of your hug into a respective text message. I truly kid you not:

for example, a long squeeze would look like
'hhhhhhuuuuuuuuuuggggggg'
while a short and hard squeeze would look like
'hhHHUUUUUUugg'

The hugms also uses light and color to indicate if you've been hugged and what sort of hug it was. If you're interested in the hugms for your surely speechless beau, the project page even includes a video of the hugms in action, but, as a thesis project, it's unlikely to be available to the public anytime soon.

The most and least loved gadgets

The most and least loved gadgets 12/05/2003 01:53 PM
CNET has put together a reader poll of the least loved and most loved gadgets of all-time. Topping the list of the most loved gadgets: Voodoo's appropriately named Envy M460 laptop (though the conspicuous absence from the top 5 of a single Apple product must be duly noted). And what forlorn gadget tops the list of the least loved, you might wonder? Why Nokia's N-Gage gamephone, of course. Read [Thanks, Ethan]...

Wired News has a short regurgitation from Reuters about the increasing number of gadget users who are turning to solar power to keep them mobile. It's not perfect, of course -- cloudy days can still easily double the recharge time of batteries -- but as the efficiency of solar cells improve, we may well see increased ubiquity of solar power for all our devices, especially as flexible, wearable panels become available.

Sex, Ukeleles, Gadgets...and more! 12/25/2003 11:36 AM
Have a merry, sex and gadget filled hyper-commercialized Japanese Christmas. "Well it all started when a Spanish Jesuit missionary named St. Francis Xavier brought Christmas to Japan in 1549...." The Jesuit bid to Christianize Japan was a flop though, and now - while Jews in the West, for example, tend to go out for Chinese food on Christmas Eve, the Japanese had little connection to the Christian version - so they invented their own! Syncretistic Japan pulls in random elements of Western "Christmas" and recombines in pleasing new ways! ( shocking only to Christians ). Santa Claus on the Cross and more!

A proper Christmas in Japan - for singles - involves a hot date and visit to a "Love Hotel" where "you might be directed by scantily-clad female elves to rooms complete with Christmas trees and life-size reindeer watching the proceedings with interest." and "Grop e Free Commutes", for Japanese women tired of having their asses grabbed on the subway by drunk salarymen returning from "Forget the Year" parties. This fine blog chronicles it all: " the Dolphin-and-fish-surrounded Christmas tree", Ukelele Christmas parties - "I wandered into a score of middle aged Japanese ladies wearing Hawaiian shirts and plastic lays, tuning up their ukuleles" and more. And don't forget to buy some cool new gadgets. "...a tiny robot helicopter weighing less than 9 grams... "

Slate takes a break from telling people to use Firefox and Christopher Bitchens rants (oh man, BURNED YOU GOOD! I gotta get a snack now) to take an entertaining romp through the annual meeting of the American Veterinary Medical Association, chock full of interesting pet gadgetry, including stops by booths selling dog and cat pheromones (and soon, human ones!), poop-grabbing Mutt Mitts, and Soft-E-Collars to replace those awful cardboard cones that convalescing dogs must wear.

And speaking of softies, I think I almost have been convinced to hire on a pug by the girlfriend. Expect the review gadgets to come back a little chewier, manufacturers.

Do You Need A Spare For Your Gadgets?

Do You Need A Spare For Your Gadgets? 03/29/2005 06:58 AM
Stories about how people live via their mobile phones (without backing the data up) and would face serious consequences for losing them are nothing new. While this USA Today piece covers much of the same ground, it includes the story of one guy who actually carries around spare gadgets for the situations in which he loses his gadgets. Having had a laptop hard-drive die three days into a 10-day business trip last year, the idea of toting around a spare laptop whenever I travel sometimes seems appealing (though, I've resisted). Still, will we reach a stage where our gadget bags will need to double in size, just in case our gadgets get lost, stolen or broken? Then again, as the end of the article points out, sometimes letting go of these gadgets can be quite a relief. It's likely that plent y of others would agree.
