By Ty Wenzel • Dec 30th, 2008 • Category: Gadget Garage, Product & Merch

Visit GreenSense!
What do I need these for? I have no idea. But the Star Wars Stack ‘Ems have an irresistible pull on me either way. They’re $10 each and blind-boxed, so you don’t know which character you’ll get, and they’re not totally useless — you can use them as key chains or just get really [...]

Find a silver screen from your iPhone screen

By Ty Wenzel • Jul 12th, 2008 • Category: Gadget Garage, Style Resources, Web 2.0 | API | Mashups

By Ty Wenzel • Jun 23rd, 2008 • Category: Architecture, Gadget Garage, Green Me Baby!, Techie News

Glastonbury revelers will be happy to know that a dead phone battery mid-festival doesn’t necessarily mean making no more calls until you get home.
