Oh how the world loves a battery… there aren’t too many toys or gadgets these days that don’t run thru a goodly supply of AA’s. That being said, I certainly wish I had a little more control over how these batteries were used, like how long my kid could play with her toys, or how long a lantern could be left on, or just to make sure things were turned off all the way in order to avoid wasting precious battery life . Yup. Battery control, that could be cool…
Well, check out Tethercell, a nifty new battery adaptor that allows you to gain real control over your AA power source. The use of the Tethercell adaptor lets you turn your AA battery powered devices on and off remotely using your smartphone, lets your batteries alert you via messaging that they are getting low and need replacing, and, it lets you start and stop devices on schedule.
The Tethercell is easy to use, you simply take the AA battery out of your gadget, install a AAA into the Tethercell and place the Tethercell back into the gadget, and guess what? No matter how many batteries the gizmo needs, you’ll only need one Tethercell, and the associated iOS or Android app, and you’re up and running.
So if being able to set time limits on things, or being able to turn toys off from across the room, (think of it like a magic mute button) or just being able to take control of your AA battery consumption sounds like a useful tool for you, head on over to amazon.com for more info, or just go ahead and buy one, for around 40 bucks.

I am a huge fan of the animated show Archer. I am so incredibly bitter that the fourth season is not on Netflix yet. I started my Archer experience late and blew through the first three seasons in a caffeine-induced binge weekend. I am recording the fifth season, but I refuse to watch until I can see the fourth. I know I could buy digital downloads or Blu-ray, but I am cheap.
ThinkGeek has a new shirt that is perfect for Archer fans. It has a picture of Sterling Archer on the front screaming “LAAAAAAAANA!”
If you have watched the show, you know how this works, “Lana. LANA! LAAAAAAAANA!”, then she replies, ” WHAT?!” to which Archer often simply says “Danger Zone.” You can pick one up for $19.99 at ThinkGeek.
I always thought it was “LANAAAAAAAAA!”

Just a few years ago, the Arthur Kill Correctional Facility housed a thousand or so inmates. But in a few months, this Staten Island prison will be home to one of the largest movie studio in the country outside of the West Coast.

The world of wearable technology does seem to be moving away from just a smartwatch or a pair of smart glasses like the Google Glass. In fact, fitness trackers are starting to gain traction and attention as well, with most of them capable of monitoring the amount of movement that you make throughout the day before tabulating just how many calories you have burned so that you can make the decision of whether to wolf down another burger or not. Well, the Moov fitness tracker is easy on the eyes as well as wallet at $59 a pop, where it intends to double up as your personal trainer so that your workout experiences will be improved.

After Tony Hawk’s massively popular Pro Skater game series faded into the sunset (and the Ride/Shred series lit that sunset ablaze with nuclear warheads), the world went a few lonesome years without a new Tony Hawk title. 2014 is apparently the year…

Carbon Wearable Solar Charger
Posted in: Today's Chili
The modern day road warrior has a slew of devices that he or she carries around, and these devices need charging on a daily basis – at least the most of them anyways. There are times when we are so overwhelmed with the number of devices that we have to charge, that our memory might fail us. How about ensuring that you have a source of energy to tide you over during emergencies? That is what the Carbon project on Kickstarter is all about. Carbon, by Energy Bionics! happens to be a wearable solar charger which resembles that of a watch on your wrist, and it boasts of the ability to juice up your iPhone, Android and other compatible mobile devices even when you are on the move.

Norman Rockwell captured idyllic moments of American life using paint and canvas. But Thomas Doyle works in a different medium and sees the world around him in a different light. As the folks at Cool Hunting discovered, he uses tiny figures and scale model buildings, designed to accessorize model trains, to make miniature 3D dioramas of not-so-perfect slices of American life.
