Make your HDTV look retro and stylish |
Remember the old days when TVs were more a piece of furniture? They were stylish and had substance and they were so heavy that once you put it in it’s place, it stayed there forever. TVs have slimmed down a lot since then and they’ve lost all of their good looks with the weight.
Halden-Caviglia TV sets want to bring back the retro TV using today’s technology. You can choose a screen between 42 inches and 65 inches in a bunch of Art Deco and American Craftsman styles, and the company even offers an IR repeater so your remote can communicate with the TV through all of that wood.







I like Steampunk stuff mostly because the things look cool and I can appreciate how long it would take to build some of these designs. That said you would never find steampunk gear in my house. I like my tech to look like tech, not something I might find in grandma’s attic.
I’m not cut out for building things out of wood. I once built a deck and it leaned enough that you felt drunk before the party even started. I used to know a dude that was a cabinet maker and did lots of cutting and sanding during his day. Sometimes I see products, I wonder why it took so long for someone to come out with. The Final Cut saw blade is one of those products.
I remember putting together the crib for my son. It took a while to get the thing put together and then I realized it wouldn’t roll through the door to his room after I built it in the living room. It seemed like only a few weeks later he needed a toddler bed and we were throwing the crib out.

Love or hate Apple, no one can deny that Jobs and his team can make and market a product. The company has the most popular music store around and sells more apps than anyone else sells as well.

One of the most embarrassing things I have seen happen to a manufacturer at CES happened this year when Sonim challenged people to break its indestructible X3 handset. One guy from BBC succeeded, thwarting all claims of being indestructible. Sonim is showing off its new XP2 Spirit at MWC and letting people beat the thing up.
We all know that many pets like dogs have hearing that is much better than human hearing. That means that if the music you listens too hurts your ears, the dog’s ears probably really hurt. Pet Acoustics has announced a new device for pet owners called the My Pet Speaker that lets you play music for animals at levels that won’t hurt their hearing.
