Above is the video from Diane von Furstenberg’s runway show during New York Fashion Week, created with Google’s Google Glass glasses (goggles?). Shot entirely by amateurs – the amateur cinematographers being models, makeup artists, and Diane von Furstenberg herself wearing Google Glass and going about their business, the DVF video gives us the first look at Google Glass in action.

I have a love-hate relationship with shopping for electronics.
I am borderline obsessive about finding the sweet spot of value in terms of price versus performance. I have no issues spending a little more money if it means getting a lot more quality. I absorb every piece of information I can get my hands on in the hopes that I will find the perfect product at the perfect price. Most of the time I succeed, because I have the luxury of being patient.
However, especially for something as subjective as audio, it is a descent into madness. Continue reading
Elevation Lab started with a simple idea, make a sturdy iPhone dock that can be used while the phone is still in a case and reduces the dock connector friction so the phone can be easily docked and un-docked. Sounds easy right? It isn’t. Let’s take a look at the form and function of the Elevation Dock for iPhone. Continue reading

Please don’t tell me that damnable Justin Timberlake movie about paying for things with time, or teeny, tiny douche hats, or odd falsetto riffs, will someday become a thing. Surely, we won’t have to worry about new types of currency, right? Continue reading

Recently, I booked an airline ticket through United Airlines and decided to pop for the “Economy Plus” seating. It added $54 to one leg and $64 to the other but I figured: why not. The ticket was actually less than I’d expected and I’m an adult with long legs and a little money in the bank. I deserve it. When I happened to check my bank statement on-line (I pay for everything with my debit card) I noticed that I’d been charged twice for each of the economy plus additions; a total of $118 that United, essentially, stole from my bank account. Trying to reverse these charges has plunged me into a bureaucratic rabbit hole of hell that has gotten me thinking: just how much is corporate America filching from us, right beneath our noses?
