Clip-On Geotagging for DSLRs

I'm not a big camera buff, but this is just too cool to not post. The Kato is an add-on that works with any DSLR camera to add Geotagging to your photos.
"It slides into the hot-shoe of a DSLR and, when you take a photograph, captures a snapshot of the satellite data. Back at the ranch, the client software takes the data and turns it into GPS coordinates, which are then embedded into the photographs."

Really Pretty iPod Stickers

I never leave my house. If I did become someone who ever leaves the house, I would totally get an iPod. I keep my music going as if it were my pacemaker. I also am all about some customization. That's why if I ever left the house and got an iPod I'd most definitely pick up some of these Shufflesome stickers for it.

Forget bulky rubber, silicone or rubber protective sleeves and cases - they're ugly, and who needs that? Besides, how much protection do you really need for your Shuffle? These cast vinyl stickers should protect your musical friend from scratching just fine, I imagine. And Dear Lord are they lovely. They should start making these for cellphones.

Programmable Guitar Effects Pedal

I've always thought it would be awesome to have an effects pedal that you can program yourself. Oh look, here's one!


"The OpenStompTM Coyote-1 is an open source audio effects processor built for guitar players. With the Coyote-1 users can develop custom audio effects in software (like distortion, echo, chorus etc.), mix multiple effects to build "patches", and exchange those effects and patches with the OpenStompTM community. "

Photoshopped Washington Post Photo Revealed!

The man in this photo that appears with Tiger Woods in the Washington Post is both in front of and behind Tiger at the same time!



It turns out it wasn't doctored by the Post itself, but was retrieved from Getty Images as-is and the bad Photochop wasn't noticed by the editors. Here's the image on Getty. This is a pretty hard thing to miss, also because the resolution of the man is clearly different than Tiger's. Mr. Post-man, what else did you choose to ignore?

New Punisher Movie Swaps Lead Actors



Punisher is arguably my favorite comic book character. This dude's nothing but balls. No magical powers. No super-human capabilities. Just pure, unadulterated, VIOLENCE!

So as you can imagine I was totally stoked when I got a shout my boy iamronburgundy that there was a trailer out for the new Punisher movie and oh boy it looks sweet!

But WTF happened to Tom Jane, the guy who played the Punisher in the previous Punisher movie? They've got this Ray Stephenson guy now (from HBO's Rome). I'll have to admit that he does have the Punisher voice down pretty well, but why must Marvel always swap out actors for it's sequels? When Edward Norton replaced Eric Bana for this years The Incredible Hulk I kept my cool since Ed is my homeboy (I have a Fight Club movie poster up next to my Punisher movie poster) but this Stephenson guy seems like a step down, not a step up.

Enough of my bitching. I'm sure we'll all enjoy the movie. Here's the trailer from IGN:
