Wireless Collaboration

Jessie Atkin posted a blog on Digital Landing about the revolutionary machine that is four machines in one.

We all love convenience, and what’s more convenient than a printer, scanner, copier, and fax machine in one? Did I mention it’s wireless?

That’s right, the Lexmark X6675 can do everything from print pictures directly from a memory card to scan pictures back to your computer over its Wi Fi connection. It claims to print 25 pages a minute in black and white. Four machines in one, and not one extra wire. How much better does it get? How much space does that save?

For just over $100 it’s almost steal. (If you’ve got over $100.)

It’s 3D

Jessie Atkin posted a new blog up on Digital Landing. Read about the all new printer that can do what a normal printer can't; print in 3D!

We’ve got 3D movies why not 3D printers? Okay, so one really doesn’t have anything to do with the other, but they’re both pretty fun, right? It’s much more difficult to develop your own at home 3D movie (especially without those special glasses) but at home 3D printing has come a little bit closer. At least now the printer will fit in a home.

The Alaris 30 is really one of the first some what desk top sized 3D printer. Basically you can print models when ever you like, even with moving parts! It’s really set for office work and concept type of stuff, but personal model creations are never out of the running. Once the price is released I’m sure it’ll be a bit too much for me, but a kid can dream right?

Guitar Hero for the preschool set

Chris McGinn posted a new blog up on Digital Landing. Read about how everyone can experience the fun of Guitar Hero/Rock Band, no matter how good/bad they are.

Parent Hacks has an interesting discussion going on about how to help your little ones join in the fun with Guitar Hero and Rock Band (1 & 2). While you are jamming away, your preschooler or toddler can join in with extra guitars for older game versions or by using the program’s “no-fail” mode. I didn’t even know such a thing existed.

Instead of getting frustrated and booed off the stage when they miss notes, they can play till their little hearts content. Apparently, you have to use a “cheat code” (one parent reveals the cheat) to access that mode in Guitar Hero. Only Rock Band 2 has it for the other game, not the original version.

What’s your trick for letting the littlest ones join in on the video game fun?

New Snapshots

Jessie Atkin posted a blog up on Digital Landing. Read about the digital camera that prints on the go, without ink!

In this digital age we’re all about instant gratification, so it makes sense that, like the Polaroid before it, instant photos on the go are making a comeback in the Tomy camera. It comes at an especially important time as Polaroid film begins to disappear from shelves everywhere.

Introduced through Zink, the company that makes “zero ink printers” the Tomy is a digital camera with printer attached. Print little mini photos on the go as you go where ever you go. There is the question of print quality, but part of the fun of polaroids was there unique lack of quality. I’m keen on an updated digital idea, and the pictures make the cameras look really cute too.
