Family Constructs Potato Gatling Gun

By Chris Scott Barr

Some people in this world have awesome parents. I’m not talking about the rich ones that buy their kids everything, but rather the kind that teach their kids to build potato guns. My mom and dad didn’t approve of such contraptions, however, the DeRose family is much cooler. Last December they decided that the potato gun they had previously built just wasn’t enough fun, so they would instead try to create a Gatling gun version.

As you can see from the video above, they did in fact reach their goal. It’s a somewhat complicated device, but will definitely turn heads at the next block party.

(Fun Monday drinking game: Take a shot whenever someone says the word “ah” or “um” in the video. Make it a double if both are used in one sentence!)

USB 2.0 Data Copy and Internet Connection Sharing Dongle (Driver Free) (Image courtesy CrunchGear)
By Andrew Liszewski

It turns out Mom and Dad were right when it came to their theory about sharing being a good thing. But they never said it would be easy, and if you’ve ever tried to share internet access on one computer with another without the benefit of a router or wifi network, you’ll agree. Thankfully Brando is now selling this USB dongle that easily connects two PCs via a 2 meter cable, allowing you to transfer data as well as share a network connection without having to install a single driver. The dongle supports Win2K, XP and Vista, and for just $29.99 it will probably reduce the amount of time you spend copying random files to and from USB flash drives.

i-Mate shutting down Momento Live digiframe service


Bad news for those of you who snagged an i-Mate Momento WiFi digital picture frame over the holidays — the company’s started emailing customers with the news that it’s shuttering the Momento Live service that feeds pictures to the unit automatically. You’ve got until February 25 to get your pictures off the site (which now has an expired SSL certificate) before they’re deleted forever, but don’t fret too much — Mom and Dad can still view their grandkids grow up in semi-real-time via Flickr, Picasa, SmugMug and other sites that support RSS. Actually, given the current state of the economy, we’d say those of you in the market should heed this as a warning to stick to the RSS WiFi frames, not the goofy proprietary ones — standards are forever, people.
