Philips' Parallel Lines looks promising
“Five directors were each challenged to create short films in different genres using the same dialogue. The five 5 beautifully diverse films are by Greg Fay, Jake Scott, Johnny Hardstaff, Carl Erik Rinsch and animators Hi-Sim and their genres range from drama, animation, action, to sci-fi and thriller.”
This isn’t the first time Philips (a major TV manufacturer) has done this: they released a cool looping movie that was done as if time had stopped called Carousel which you can watch below.

Even with Robots the Nutcracker still sucks
Sorry Tchaikovsky, but it’s true.
Horrible Travel Gadget
I’m a gadget freak. It it has LEDs or a USB connection, I own it.
It’s true.
But here’s a gadget that I’ll never buy and you shouldn’t ether: a baggage locator.
I didn’t know that these even existed until just a few moments ago and I thought “wow, that’s a really BAD idea.”
Now don’t get me wrong, locating your luggage in record time would be great. Heck, I’d get a gadget that let me track luggage from my phone (they call that a GPS tracker, but they’re pricey) and we could call it even, but no, someone HAD to go nuts and make a gadget that attaches to your bag and blinks/makes noise when you press a button on a cheaply-made fob.
“What’s the problem” you ask? The problem is that you’re attaching a remotely activated light/noise maker to your bag and intend to set it off in an airport. Imagine the hysteria you could cause with an odd device strapped to an unclaimed bag on the carousel that suddenly starts flashing and beeping. Put it inside the bag for more “fun” while TSA is scrambled to intercept it after you activate it from “over 60 feet away.” That’s far enough to activate it before it even gets inside baggage claim.
Just think about the look on the handlers’ faces when your bag starts making noise. Priceless.
So just say “no” to these gadgets and put a piece of string on your bag. It’ll save you $15 and it’s a much more elegant solution to a problem that no one really has.
Which pocket camcorder?
Gizmodo has done a VERY in-depth review on all the pocket camcorders out there and has named a winner. If you’re looking for a nice camcorder that shoots 2 hours of HD, both Gizmodo and I recommend the Flip Ultra HD.
For a mere $200 you can pick up this snazzy camcorder and toss it in your pocket or purse and be ready to film anytime, anywhere. Maybe you’ll be the next Zapruder as you catch something shocking and amazing on your pocket camera.
