If you always have a song in your head and just so happen to know how to play a keyboard, then you likely wish there was a way to bring your mental creations into audible sounds. Not too long ago we saw a program called Imitone that could take any notes from humming or instruments and translate it into a composition. If you would prefer to have tactile feedback, or just want to improvise a little jam session, then having a small keyboard around would be useful.

The QuNexus is a smart sensor keyboard that can not only act as a mini/MIDI keyboard, but will allow you variance in your notes with the touch of a finger. Each key can sense the pressure and tilt, which means you have no need of a pitch wheel. There are 25 keys that are made of silicone which can stand up to a hectic lifestyle (for all you mobile musicians out there), and all will illuminate once pressed.

This will work with anything from your professional equipment down to mobile devices. You can set up presets, as well as share them with friends. Using this is very easy, as it’s plug-and-play via USB. The possibilities are as varied and endless as your imagination. Of course, you will want some knowledge of how to play a keyboard, and be working in some field of music before putting down $200 on this. Otherwise it might be smarter to start off with a regular keyboard and work your way up.

Big Red today made some changes of its own, it has slashed its own pricing and matched AT&T’s. There’s no denying that a price war is underway between major U.S. carriers.

When we reviewed the TomTom Runner GPS watch last year, we pointed out that if you wanted to monitor your heart rate, you’d need to buy an extra accessory. But for athletes looking to seriously train their bodies, metrics on how fast or far they ran, swam, or biked isn’t enough. So TomTom has updated the Runner GPS with a new Cardio version that now includes an integrated heart-rate monitor.

Shadows. They’re ghoulish entities that come and goes with the whims of the sun. But shadow puppets are what happens when Man harnesses the sun, or artificial light, and creates life of his own.
