Tameer Makes Keeping Up with the Joneses Impossible

Remember your first flat-panel TV? You thought you were the shiznit with that bad-boy, until some guy a couple doors down got one bigger, thinner and high-definitionier than yours. Which kinda ticked you off. Then, around Thanksgiving, you one-upped him. And the battle of the bigscreen LEDs continues between you and your neighbor to this [...]

Finally! The Pac-Man-Inspired Furniture We Never Knew We Needed!

In my dream home, there is an arcade. And in that arcade, there will be a Pac-Man machine: The game so many of us became addicted to while listening to bad ’80s rock in mostly darkened arcades.
But unlike those spartanly-decorated amusement parlors of yore, my dream home arcade will definitely have some of these gorgeously [...]

USB Volcano is Cool, Non-Threatening to Pompeii

What’s not to like here?! It’s a crazy USB gadget! It’s a miniature volcano! Your $18 will get you this handsome (read: boring) cylinder full of faux volcano goodness. Once filled with water and “lava beads” and plugged into your computer via USB, you can turn on the high-intensity LED lighting and the fan to [...]

AmpLamp: Cool Idea Gives Off Warm Light

Integrating technology with style & design isn’t always easy at home. A nicely designed space with a spaghetti-tangle of wires just doesn’t cut it. That’s why I love products like the AmpLamp.
