SCOTTeVEST story told on Donny Deutsch’s The Big Idea
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Wearables, Videos,
We’re currently working on getting the new episode of Bleeding Edge TV up in a few minutes, where we review a couple of the latest SCOTTeVEST performance shirts. However, we just came across this video on YouTube video featuring SCOTTeVEST’s own Scott Jordan on the Donny Deutsch Show talking about how the SCOTTeVEST brand came in to being. It’s an interesting look at one of our favorite clothing companies, plus you get to see Scott pull all sorts of craziness out of his vest. Good times.

New Wii Cases Inspired by Ninjas
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Accessories, Video Games, Videos,
Want to dress up your Wii? Talismoon has come up with a series of Evolve cases to prove you have the coolest look, even if you aren’t the best player on the block. The collection includes 8 designs and carries the fancy titles of Abyss, Black Katana, Blue Boshido, Green Tanto, Pink Geisha, Red Ronin, Silver Shuriken, and Stealth Assassin. Each cover is $39.95 and features a rear access panel, removable door, and slot color selection. The company is so jazzed about their product that they even created this animated short to sell the cases. Pretty nifty, but you don’t get to see the product until the last few seconds.

My Damn Channel Features Funny to the Max
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Internet, Misc. Tech, Music, Videos,
Now we know where the comical In people go when they feel crowded at YouTube. Harry Shearer (the voice of Mr. Burns/Rev. Lovejoy/Ned Flanders, etc. on The Simpsons,) recently posted his “Waterboarding, U.S.A” video, his comment on America with a Beach Boys twist. Check in on the 29th for his second hosting of his Silent Debate. Also on the site are bits by Janeane Garofalo and Ozzy Osbourne. Take a peek at the ones posted or try to upload one of your own. You might get to be the next guest voice on The Simpsons.

Scare the Neighbors’ Kids With Freak Tank
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Smart Home, Misc. Tech, Videos,
Halloween is rapidly approaching so we are scouring the Net to find the best ways to creep out your friends, neighbors, and, most importantly, those brats down the street that wake you at dawn on Saturday. How about this 9 foot tall Freak Tank that contains a floating Siamese Twin corpse suspended in a fog run by motor? We like that the company, Haunted Ventures, specializes in finding hard-to-get items for its customers. What we don’t like is the $2,200.00 price tag (with shipping) that doesn’t include a sound track. We think we will wait for a smaller version since those kids are fairly young and scare easily.

Speecys Breaks Up Your Day
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Design, Misc. Tech, Science, Videos,
They say laughter is the best medicine. That must have been the thinking behind the creators of Speecys SPC-101C. At a height of 33 cm and a weight of 1.5 kg, the guffawing bot features a 22+LED display, 2 stereo speakers, a 270,000-pixel CMOS Color Video cam, and wireless capability. We think that perhaps he is laughing and dancing because someone was dense enough to shell out the $3,000. And yes, for the record, we realize the Speecys is a cleverly disguised homophone.

Watch YouTube For College Credit
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Internet, Misc. Tech, Videos,
Pitzer College has begun to offer college credit for students that watch YouTube. Approximately 35 students attend the class where they watch videos and make comments about them. They are also encouraged to submit their own work. Professor Alexandra Juhasz, who set up the “Learning From YouTube” course, believes that one can learn about the “corporate-sponsored democratic media expression.” This sounds to us like one of those excuses not to have to issue and/or do real homework on the part of both the instructor and students, and suspect it will soon have the popularity of such classes as basket weaving and Dummy Math 101.

MySpaceTv to Air Quarterlife
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Corporate News, Internet, Videos,
MySpace has decided to enter the world of reality shows, at least that’s how it appears. Marshall Herskovitz and Edward Zwick, creators of “My So-Called Life,” are putting together QuarterLife on MySpaceTV. While we are not exactly sure of the content, the preview shows it to be a group of twentysomething friends that do odd things to each other on and with the net. We visited the site itself where we discovered that it may be an interactive show, or perhaps just a tie-in to get others to the second site. The show will make its debut on November 11 on MySpace and the day after on the QuarterLife site.

New PSA May Curtail Whaling
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Editorial, Misc. Tech, Science, Videos,
We admit that we dig anime. We are also partial to saving the whales, many of which are now on the endangered list. Combining the two concepts in hopes that Japan will stop the slaughter in its Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary, Greenpeace released this animated short there to publicize the issue. We understand that after the postwar period that the Japanese needed the large mammals as a source of protein, but since the country is now at peace, the poor creatures should be allowed theirs as well. Created by Yamamura Koji, we wanted to share this fine piece of art that also has a message.

Unboxing Flip Video
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Cameras, Music, Portable Audio / Video, Product Reviews, Videos,
It’s no top of the line model, but we still dig our new Flipvideo. Going through video withdrawal, we purchased one on a whim and set out to test our new toy. It is so simple to operate that we are eternally grateful to puredigital. The MSRP for the cam is $149.99, but we managed to purchase one on Amazon for $130.00 with free shipping. We figure we had better invest the savings into rechargeable batteries as this puppy only comes with 2 standard AA’s. Details to follow.
