  Huge pile of waste Gadgets | (5)

  Had to replace some ink jet cartridges today. Canon, I love your products. But this? Shame on you. I don't need half a kilo of packaging and manuals for each cartridge. This is ridiculous. Maybe you missed it, but companies try to show that they are environmentally friendly now. You know? Trying to be nice to our planet?

  Going to IFA - slightly transparent Gadgets, conference | (4)

  I just posted an article about Hasan Elahi on the Norwegian blog I'm contributing to. Mr. Elahi is the artist that exposed his whole life on the internet when the feds started following him. I'm not going to pull an Elahi here, but as part of my experiments with GPS technology and my iPhone I'll be posting my position live on the intertubes from time to time during my trip to IFA in Berlin. The map in this post will be updated with my position and a track when I'm online. I'll also post some messages on Twitter and some geocoded images ...

  Memory problem Gadgets | (8)

  You've just returned home after a good day of work. You're outside your house with two hungry kids and a horrible weather. When you're about to unlock your door you don't find your keys. And suddenly you remember where they are. Safely placed at the back of a computer at work. Always remembering your USB key because it is placed on your key chain = a good idea. Forgetting your keys at work because they are securely fastened to your USB key = bad idea.

  A cheap portable DVD and DivX player Gadgets, Hardware, Mobile, Movies, Travel, iPod, thomson | (7)

  Thomson DTH 620 Travelling with kids can be anything from very rewarding and fun to a complete nightmare. Kids are in general very curious and easy to please as things happen around them on the way to a new destination. You always have the traditional games of spotting and counting special objects, following the map, telling stories etc.. If you combine these methods with some new technologies like MP3-players, iPods and portable DVD-Players you could end up managing even quite long trips with no problems. I have written about the long plane ride and the iPod. In our car we have used ...

  The Apple Mobile Phone Apple, Gadgets, Mobile, iPod | (1)

  Apple, please! Giving us an FM radio for the iPod in 2006 is an insult. Why? Why can't you understand that it's not the "iPod Radio Remote" we want. We want the "iPod Cellular Remote". This product should have been a cellular attachment for the iPod. Same idea. Use the screen and the battery in the iPod. Just add a little external box with some keys, a cellular chip and preferably also wifi. Wired had lots of coverage on what people want and why they don't get it in issue 13.11. Seems like the biggest problem is the download service that ...

  The Griffin PowerMate and Brian Eno Gadgets | (6)

  "Do you know what I hate about computers? The problem with computers is that there is not enough Africa in them." - Brian Eno, May 1995 This quotation is from an article in Wired Magazine that Oyvind pointed me to back in '95. I have never forgotten it. "What's pissing me off is that it uses so little of my body. You're just sitting there, and it's quite boring. You've got this stupid little mouse that requires one hand, and your eyes. That's it. What about the rest of you? No African would stand for a computer like that. It's imprisoning." ...still Brian Eno. Yes. ...

  iPod Photo Connector quick review - useless! Gadgets, Photo, iPod | (7)

  What it should do: Give you a possibility to upload pictures from your digital camera directly on to your iPod. Fantastic! For the people that take large amounts of pictures, maybe with a high resolution camera the cost of memory cards will be huge if you want to bring enough of them to keep you going for a whole vacation. Having the possibility to transfer them to your iPod and even review them on the iPod screen is a very good idea. Unfortunately, the iPod Photo Connector fails to help you out... The first quick test I have a Sony DSC-P150 digital camera. It's 7.2 ...

  Sleeptracker - experience so far Gadgets, Technology | (8)

  First impression Very nice package. The watch itself looks better than expected. Feels quite well built. Don't consider this a complete review of the Sleeptracker. This is my first experience with a device that needs time before it is possible to judge the potential benefit or function of it. I have now been a proud owner of a Sleeptracker for two weeks. The problem is that these two weeks has not been very representative for the typical days when I need an alarm clock. I am on a vacation and use my kids as alarm clocks. Why get up before you have to? Of ...

  It’s gadget time! Gadgets, Technology, Travel | (2)

  I'm currently in the US and will be here for about a month. I will mostly stay at the same place. What does that mean? People living in the US will of course not see any obvious and revolutionary advantages from this fact. Apart from the fact that being in the US is quite fun in general. I'll give you some hints: Amazon, eBay, Best Buy. Webshops! Ordering stuff from the fantastic assortement of Amazon when you live in Norway is OK, but it always include huge amounts of waiting, payment of taxes and hideously expensive shipping. Now, for the next four ...
