What’s new at redbox?

Beginning in a few weeks, RedBox will begin offering Blu-ray Discs for $1.50.  I’m actually a little surprised it took this long, but happy they’re making it happen!

Saying “take a Chill Pill” is no longer an insult.

When visiting this years CES in Vegas, I ran across this cool lil mobile accessory. It’s called the Chill Pill  mobile speaker($49.99) from Chill Audio.  The presenter plugged them into his iPod, surprisingly, I could hear them pretty clearly over the noise of the convention floor.  Since i liked them so much, i had to get a pair to do a real world test.
