Lets face it, buying batteries SUCK, and although rechargable batteries have been about, i couldnt tell you a single person that owns a set, not to mention them beng bad for the environment.

The Dog-Phone?

Ever Wanted to turn your dog into a mobile phone? yes? well then then this is for YOU sir…or..ma’am…

introducing the MESSENGER DOG!

messenger dog is a digital messaging system for use in disaster relief efforts developed by mary huang,
laura boffi and li bian. the informal system aims to connect people who may have been displaced during
a crisis such as an earthquake. messenger dog enables people to record video messages to loved ones and
send them through the dog wearing the device. messages are geo-tagged and time logged so that people
can track where messages originated from, hopefully reuniting loved ones. the dogs are deployed from
a single point such as a refugee camp and sent out with the device on their back. the dogs return to the
point of origin at the end of the day, where any recorded video can be downloaded for users to watch.

the Guitar amp Thats A PC!

Is the OPC Computer Amplifier a guitar amp with a bonus computer or a computer with a bonus guitar amp? The look suggests the former. The 500GB HDD, GeForce 9300 graphics card, and Windows 7 OS suggest the latter.

4GB DDR2 RAM, 500GB Hard Drive, Intel chips, Windows 7 x64 home premium, 8 x USB2.0 ports, is Wi-Fi enabled and has an integrated GeForce 9300 graphics card with an optional dedicated ATI 5670 512MB card for those who may want to play a few games while they put their guitars down.

The OPC will include software that models a number of vintage amps and features a unique cooling system that uses the air blown out of the speaker. The company also claims that it’s the first computer to have a built-in universal input jack for recording from instruments, microphones, and other digital sources like MP3 players.

OK, so it might not be the most obvious pairing, but for a music-making geek with an itty-bitty apartment, it’s certainly one way to save space. Though the price hasn’t yet been announced, the OPC will be available in June
