nokia_planet.jpgHey, old people have technological needs too. Or so this concept would have us believe. The idea behind this tablet/pda-ish device is that it uses RFID tracking technology toremind the elderly when to take their meds, when food in the refrigerator goes bad, and what to get at the store to meet nutritional requirements. But if my grandparents’ foray into technology is any indication, this device would do nothing but baffle the elderly mind. [Yanko Design]

I haven’t played with this yet, so I can’t recommend for or against it, but man it looks fun. It’s a little Guiar Hero toy, pre-loaded with music from the game, and with little control buttons and screen, all shaped like a Guitar Hero toy. It’s a carabiner, so you can clip it onto your whatever. […]

It’s a carabiner, so you can clip it onto your whatever. If you’re really rock n’ roll, you’ll put it through your ear, tough guy.

Rarely do I give Comcast praise, but today I feel I have to. The cable company monopoly will be adding six new HD channels to its catalog in March, just in time for my birthday, and they’re good ones! Well, most of them.

hdcomcastRarely do I give Comcast praise, but today I feel I have to. The cable company monopoly will be adding six new HD channels to its catalog in March, just in time for my birthday, and they’re good ones! Well, most of them.

Those of you who are still using standard definition need to seriously think about your futures. You’re holding the rest of us back, and I’m starting to think it’s time to cut the dead weight.

After the jump, the new channels, and what I consider them! Because it’s Friday and you care!

Animal Planet HD: Shows about people who speak to dogs, in High Definition!

Discovery Channel HD: We have something similar now, but I’m stoked to see Mythbusters in HD each day.

Learning Channel HD: This channel used to be good, now in HD! HD!

Home and Garden HD: I don’t care, cuz I own neither, in HD! HD! High-Definition!

Food Network HD: That’s right, the gourmand’s version of the Playboy network in 720p. HD! Hi-Def!

Sci Fi HD: Oh, yes, you heard me. You heard me in 5.1 Dolby Surround Sound, and saw it in High-Definition HD Hi-Def HDTV!

Comcast has promised 60 channels of HD programming by the end of the year, and is on pace to make good on that promise. Go, Comcast!

[Thanks for the tip, Paul!]
