What are Siftables:
Siftables are independent, compact devices (cookie-sized computers) with sensing, neighbor detection, graphical display, and wireless communication capabilities. They can be physically manipulated (piling, grouping, sorting) as a group to interact with digital information and media. Siftables can be used to implement any number of gestural interaction languages and HCI applications. Also Siftables provides a new platform on which to implement tangible, visual and mobile applications.(David Merrill, siftables.com)
To me this sounds the future is catching up on us real fast. Tangible cubicles that can contain, according what I have seen, anything, from educative features to musical features to video features and much more. What is makes it so great is that all cubicles can communicate with one and the other and interact. Especially the interaction makes them fantastic. Sure thing to follow.
I really see these Siftables as a future tool for educative purposes. Children can easily learn with these blocks. My daughter would love these.
I love bubble wrap. As a child I used to pop bubbles at all possible places, even when it wasn’t allowed (unpacked boxes). And now there is this cool gadget, a bubblerap calendar.
Only I bought too much lately so I will save some money for a change.

A few years ago there where a lot of service that offered free SMS on a global basis. But they never existed a long time. Some took it a step further afterwards by offering bulk sms for a low price but none survived.
Today I found out about Crickee, a service that offers free SMS. according to Crickee it is ‘the’ unique way to send and receive unlimited SMS 24/7 from your mobile and even from the web. To have it working on your mobile you only need to follow the link they send you by sms. It’s free for life, without obligation and without changing your mobile, your number, your operator, your SIM card and even your contract. more

A new gadget for your iPod nano. The mTune or mTune-N turns your Nano into a corless MP3 headset.
You have full access to the iPod Nano click wheel and display which you can find on one of the ears of the headset. I guess you need a little practising to blind select your favortie tunes. Or you can just create a playlist which keeps you quiet for a while.
