iPhone 4 coffee table
Author: Tech Blogger
We do know that it’s a one of a kind custom piece, so you wont be able to get one unless you make it yourself. Then you too can kick off your crocs and put your bare feet beneath it, hopefully with no signal loss.
Sure is shiny.

St. Dupont “Service Without Fail” RAID Watch
Author: Tech Blogger
Here is some serious French testosterone in a watch. Made for or influenced by the special, elite operations branch of the national French police known as RAID. The highly secretive special force is interesting because they often recruit people directly from the public, as opposed to existing police or military personnel. The purpose of the group as part of the national police, is to combat and investigate major crimes and terrorism. RAID stands for “Recherche Assistance Intervention Dissuasion.” In English, “Research, Assistance, Intervention, Deterrence.” They seem to kick enough ass to get a watch made for them with their logo on it.

ExoPC preorders open to all from CAD $649, tablet loses GPS but gains SanDisk SSD
Author: Tech Blogger
First the good news, for those who’ve waited months to get their paws on that 11.6-inch multitouch capacitive screen: there’s no longer anything stopping you from dropping a stack of change on the Windows 7-wielding ExoPC. Originally restricted to the first 1,200 dedicated fans, preorders are now open to all, with the 32GB tablet setting you back CAD $649 (about $624) and the 64GB version CAD $749 (about $720), with both models featuring up-to-160MB/s fast SanDisk P4 mini-SSDs and up to four hours of battery life. The bad news is that you’ll no longer find GPS on that 64GB model, as the prototype didn’t pan out, and we’re afraid that September 30th ship date has already slid back to October 15th. Take a gander at our hands-on preview (or better yet, wait for our review) if you’ve yet to make your mind up.

GeekDad Visits the Connecticut Science Center
Author: Tech Blogger
The first test is the easier test. Is the Connecticut Science Center one of the best places to bring kids in Greater Hartford?
Test passed. If you live in greater Hartford, you should bring your kids to the Connecticut Science Center.
The second test is the harder test. Hartford is not that far from Boston. It’s about an hour and half to two hour drive. That means it could be just as easy to visit the Connecticut Science Center as it is to visit Boston’s Museum of Science.
Is the Connecticut Science Center a better choice than the Museum of Science?
Before addressing that question, let me share some of my experiences while visiting. They were nice enough to treat my family to admission, a movie, and bag of swag. (The $17/$14 price of admission is a bit less than Boston’s $21/$18.)

The Connecticut Science Center is housed a sleek and shiny, modern, new building in downtown Hartford. Sunshine pours in through the massive glass curtain wall that overlooks the banks of the Connecticut River. The building, opened in June of 2009, has easy access from I-84 and I-91 with plenty of parking in an attached garage.
For those of you looking for “green credentials”, the facility is LEED Gold Certified and obtains the majority of its energy needs from an on-site fuel cell. (The real estate guy side of me is very impressed.)
Under its green roof, the Connecticut Science Center hosts 150 hands-on exhibits, a 3D digital theater, and four educational labs. They try to address every part of science “from Physics to Forensics, Geology to Astronomy.”
The first floor houses Kid Space for kids age 3 – 6 to explore spouting and whirling vortexes of water. It will be hard to get your young kids past this to take the elevator up to the other exhibits.
They are currently featuring a “Robots + Us” exhibit that showcases robot behavior. My highlight was a race against a robot to assemble a puzzle. I was subjected to its mocking taunt when it finished before me.
The Forces of Motion exhibit was the highlight for my six year old and two year old geeklets. A downhill racetrack and race cars with square wheels is a fascinating idea. I think my kids missed this aspect. The were happy to build the race cars and race them, regardless of the shape of their wheels.
Be prepared for the sights and sound when you enter the Sight and Sound Experience on the fourth floor. It’s flashy and loud, but fun. Kids love matching movement with sound and light changes. Even I got caught up in the excitement and danced in the light chamber.
Does Connecticut Science Center pass the second test? I’m going to hedge and say that it’s not a fair test. The Museum of Science can trace its roots back to 1830 and its current building has been open for almost 50 years. It’s been a GeekDad destination of choice for generations. Its 1.5 million visitors a year dwarfs the 365,000 the Science Center had in its first year of operation.
In my opinion, they target different audiences. The Connecticut Science Center is more focused on kids and their parents. Teenagers and childless adults may not find it as interesting as the do-everything Museum of Science. But you don’t have to chose one or the other, you should visit both. They are very different experiences.
If you live in New England and have kids, you should definitely add the Connecticut Science Center to your list of places to visit. I’d tell you to visit during Labor Day weekend, but they are closed for Labor Day. Go to Boston’s Museum of Science for Labor Day and go to Hartford’s Connecticut Science Center the next time.
You can find more about the Connecticut Science from its website, Twitter account (@CTScienceCenter), and its Facebook page.

Don’t Dispose Of That Disposable Camera, Make An iPhone Macro Lens With It
Author: Tech Blogger
I’ve found that the iPhone, and indeed many phone cameras, are actually pretty good at close focus photography, but if you really want to get up close and gross with some bugs or flowers or what have you, a macro lens is the only way. And as it turns out, you can use the lens that comes with a disposable camera just for that purpose. Of course, it’s not as simple as cutting and pasting the thing on there, but this Instructable will walk you through it.
