Mommy I’m Here!

June 18, 2008 — Mickel

Approved by the FCC, it’s the NEW “Mommy I’m Here!”. An improvement over the old “Mommy I’m Here!”.

This one features two-way communications, so now if you kid wanders off, your “parental” unit will beep! Then you can press the button on the remote to locate your kid; the bear will beep and flash.

SNIF Tag – Social Engineering for your Dog

March 15, 2008 — Tori

So what is SNIF Tag? That was my first thought… SNIF Tag can monitor your dogs activity level from the internet while you’re away. And when you take your dog for a walk, you can see what other SNIF Tag wearers your dog encounters, and how he interacts with them.

SNIF Tag

Simply hook-up the base-station to the internet, register your SNIF Tag and your SNIF Tag will upload data when your dog is in reach of your base-station. Find more details at manual. Then log-on and see if your dog has been hanging around the house all day long, or if he’s been having a party and having other dogs over while you were at work.

SNIF Tag Base

SNIF Tag comes with three interchangable face-plates and rims. The base-station duals as a charger.

SNIF (Social Networking in Fur) Tag by SNIF Labs out of Boston, was born out of an MIT Project. For information visit WWW.SNIFTAG.COM

SNIF Tag will be available soon for $199.95

With so much who-ha about the digital tv switch, and the coupon program, I wanted to see how many “Coupon Eligble” DTV Converter Boxes are out there.

Here’s a list as of 17 February 2008, one year before the switch.

Insignia LSX300 (LG/Zenith) BEJ9QKE00710 has a cable in/output, composite video output, and a smart-antenna connector that looks somewhat like an RJ-45 connector. Smart antenna is an array of antenna’s (as one antenna) that automatically finds the correct direction and signal gain based on IEEE standard EIA/CEA-909.
