I’ve never seen PopCast before, but this is great for two reasons. First, we see how a Wiimote can be modified by a yo-yo into a sort of sample trigger. Second, this guy’s got astonishing chops. I’m pretty good with a yo-yo, but I have nothing on this guy. ShareThis

zuneav.jpgPurchase.com is practically giving away the $100 Zune Home AV kit—which includes a dock and cables to hook your Zune up to a Television, stereo or Computer, plus remote—for $20 a pop, plus $7 shipping. If you’ve got a Zune, it’s not a bad little deal. [Purchase.com via Crave]

sigmadp1.jpgSigma’s second camera to accumulate “near mythic” status in as many years, the compact DP1, is up for pre-order on Amazon. It uses the same Foveon X3 sensor as their SD14 DSLR, which means that at higher ISO settings, shots might be noisier than a Ministry concert. And for $800, you could actually purchase an entry-level DSLR. [Amazon via 1001 Noisy Cameras via Gadget Lab]

dscribe.jpgPens that digitally record what you write onto paper have been on the market for a while, but this D:Scribe pen actually sends out SMS and Email messages in real time directly from the pen! That is, it would if it were real and not just a design, but it is a pretty awesome idea. Cause seriously, if we could write our hostage demand notes and SMS it to the police at the same time? That would save us a trip to the post office. [Yanko Design]

Well I’m sorry to inform you that it doesn’t work. Yes, it’s a technology preview so it’s not yet a completed product but I could barely keep it from barfing on itself while testing it. And I was using one of only two “compatible” Sprint phones. I’d assume that the kinks will eventually get worked out but this is pretty rudimentary stuff here.

Your mileage might vary. Actually knowing my luck, it’ll work for everyone else in the entire world and I’ll get flamed for being a royal knob job. Prepare to comment!
