Hasbro's remote control Millennium Falcon You may remember that GeekDad Dave Giancaspro saw Hasbro’s remote control Millennium Falcon at the Toy Fair earlier this year . I saw it again at Comic-Con this summer, and finally got a chance to give it a spin myself. Turns out “give it a spin” is a pretty apt description—this is one Millennium Falcon that won’t be making the Kessel Run anytime soon. On paper, it’s a great idea — the shape of the Millennium Falcon is perfect for putting in the twin-rotor mechanism. The body of the ship is made of very lightweight foam, with a small base on the bottom that contains the motor. You charge up the ship with a cable that stores in the remote, which uses four AA batteries. The flight throttle controls the speed of the rotors, and the direction throttle turns the ship left and right. There are also trim buttons to adjust the rotors if the ship rotates to the left or right — the manual notes that “trim will need to be adjusted each time you fly.” In practice, though, the Falcon can fly for about five minutes after charging for half an hour, during which time you may spend the entire time trying to adjust the trim. What was especially frustrating is that the cockpit, while certainly a nice aesthetic touch, is just enough to unbalance the vehicle. I didn’t always have that much trouble with the ship rotating left or right, but I did have the pretty consistent problem that the Falcon always tipped a little to the right after take-off. If the vehicle is moving fast at take-off, you’ll crash into something well before you’re able to steer it back around. (And my attempts to counterbalance the weight by shoving a few pushpins into the opposite side didn’t appear to work, either—then the ship was simply too heavy to lift off at all.) I’m seriously considering just cutting off everything but the ring with a utility knife — it would completely spoil the look, but maybe I’d be able to actually fly it. Here’s a little video of me trying to fly it — this is probably the best flying I’ve gotten out of it, but as you can see it starts to lose altitude almost immediately, and this was after a fresh set of batteries and a full charge. If only it were more like the real thing: “She may not look like much, but she’s got it where it counts, kid.” Instead, we’ve got a ship that’s nothing more than a pretty face. I’m disappointed, really—I’ve been thinking about getting a little flying R/C toy for some time and this seemed like it would fit the bill. The Millennium Falcon retails for $49.99 and is available now. But if you really want a flying Millennium Falcon, you might be better off with a kite (plus it’s cheaper ). Wired: A remote control flying Millennium Falcon is an awesome idea. Tired: Sadly, awesome ideas can sometimes lead to not-so-awesome reality. Disclosure: Hasbro provided a unit to review.

GeekDad HipTrax Logo by Dave Banks As summer draws to a close and the faintest bite of autumn appears in the air, we at GeekDad choose to reflect. Today, for example, we focus on the waning convention season, beer and Chris Isaak. Y’know, the important stuff! This edition of GeekDad HipTrax features: “CONtact” by Mega Ran & K-Murdock Conventions are serious business, and personal hygiene is no laughing matter! Just ask poor Random, a cat who’s done his time amid the (literally) unwashed masses. Why not brighten the man’s day by contributing to his Kickstarter campaign? You’ll be glad you did. Because of the hip-hop. “Beer, Beer, Beer” as interpreted by Marc Gunn I’m sure some parents would argue that a song about beer isn’t an ideal choice for a child-friendly podcast, and I would agree. Of course this one’s about the discovery of beer. That makes it educational! Lovers of Celtic-folk and free stuff are encouraged to leave a comment, as a random poster will receive free copies of both Marc’s Kilted for Her Pleasure and The Bridge . “Wicked Game” as covered by sadnes The GeekDad HipTrax audience has already heard Carl Peczynski’s phenomenal cover of Weezer’s “In the Garage” under his stage name OxygenStar. Now you can also experience his take on Chris Isaak’s classic “ Wicked Game ,” from the Fill My Head EP, which was released under the name sadnes. Yet another fine freebie from netlabel Pause ! Need more? Subscribe to the GeekDad podcast in iTunes (see the button on the sidebar), or directly through the RSS feed . You can also download GeekDad HipTrax #58 via this link.

Steve Jobs wasn’t kidding when he called the iPod Touch the “iPhone without a phone”. We have been calling it that for years, of course, but with each iteration the two iOS devices get closer and closer in terms of features. Now a vibrating alert has been added to the the Touch. The first iPod Touch was a chunky slab of metal and glass, and didn’t even come with a hardware volume-control. As the product-line has evolved, Apple has added not only a volume switch but a speaker (the latest version has a proper speaker, not the tinny thing hidden in the headphone socket like last year’s model), a pair of cameras, a gyroscope and a microphone. The only the Touch now lacks are the cellular radio, the GPS and the mute-switch on the side. The vibrator shows up as an alert for FaceTime on the iPod accessibility page: If somebody wants to start a video call with you, you’ll receive an invitation — along with a vibrating alert — on your iPod touch asking you to join. The obvious use though (no, not that one) is for games. Tactile feedback has been around on bigger consoles for years, and as the Touch is being pushed as a gaming device, adding in a vibrator seems like a great idea. Which makes me wonder how long it will be before the Touch really is a phone-less iPhone. Is it possible that the next step is to add in cellular data, just like the iPad 3G, leaving out only the actual telephony hardware? That would still suit Job’s other nickname for the Touch, which is the “iPhone without a contract.” Couple that with FaceTime and who needs a cellphone anyway?

The ongoing relationship between Kiwa Media’s Qbooks and Penguin New Zealan d has produced this little “retro” number – a retelling of an old classic that I was previously unaware of called “ Flick the Little Red Fire Engine “. I previously reviewed “ Hairy Maclary from Donaldson’s Dairy ” and this title backs that one up very well. I am a fan of what this partnership is producing. They are going for good quality stories and content. They are treating the original stories and illustrations with respect. They are getting serious voice talent for their books (this one has Sam Neill as Narrator). But, they are still making the experience an interactive one for children and making use of what the iPad has to offer. I enjoy the use of sound effects sparingly — a bark for a dog, the wail of a fire engine — maximum two per page. The fact children can point at individual words, and have that single word read to them is an excellent device for early readers. You’ll see it demonstrated at the end of the above promo video, it even spells out the word. I guess what I am getting at is that the developers have kept the best of the book, the thing that makes children’s books so enjoyable like the actual story and illustrations and they’ve given it some extra educational value and a few nice technological tweaks. This is done with a simplicity that makes it work. It isn’t about all the bells and whistles but about the story, and that is what many creators of ebooks for children are missing. Just like the ABC apps , there are a lot of books that are missing the mark. But these ones don’t. That said, I am not sure the song at the end of this ebook app was really required. It obviously has a history, and the crackle and hiss remind me of the old vinyl LPs I had as a kid that played stories and songs to me (“And when you hear the bell, then turn the page”). What value it really adds to this story isn’t that great. Wired: A great story, that will capture younger readers and encourage reading. Tired: Not sure the song was a necessary element.

Credit: Eliot Phillips (Community Commons) Have you ever noticed certain cocktails are perfect for specific geeky pursuits? Whether it’s a special kind of ‘tini for tinkering or a hearty grog for saluting an awesome rocket launch, we (non-teetotaler) adults appreciate a cocktail that complements our hobbies. Here are some examples to sample over this long weekend as you pursue whatever it is that makes your geeky heart happy: Sissy Klingon Activity: Good for softening the blow of ‘The Undiscovered Country.’ If you can’t handle real Blood Wine, pataQ, try this one out. Strong, sweet and sophisticated, just like Worf circa TNG, when he couldn’t win a fight to save his life. 1 shot Flor de Caña rum 1/2 shot Raspberry Pucker 1/2 shot Bombay Sapphire gin Cherry Bomb Jolt Instructions: Mix the booze together in a shaker and pour over ice. Add the Jolt to taste. Neon Geek ( Matt Blum ) Activity: Good for drinking with action shows/movies. 1/2 oz Mountain Dew, Sprite, or 7-Up 1/2 oz Bourbon 1 oz Cinnamon Schnapps (Sodas are listed in order of preference.) Mix together with ice, then pour into a margarita glass. Garnish with mint. Green Acres Punch Activity: Great for relaxing after (not before!) some heavy-duty carpentry. 2 oz. Flor de Caña 4-year old 1oz. Flor de Caña 18-year old 0.75 oz. rich demerara simple syrup* 1 oz. lime juice 6 oz. HOT STRONG Green Tea 1 mint sprig Instructions: All of the ingredients should be combined and left in a container overnight. Strain the next day, then refrigerate and drink at your leisure. Pour the punch into a glass and garnish with a lime wheel and mint sprig. *Demerara syrup can be made in a pot over low heat on stove top. 2 parts demerara sugar to 1 part water. Heat and stir until dissolved. Romulan Ale Activity: Drink while rewatching TNG episodes. 1 1/2 oz White rum 1 oz Blue Curacao 7-Up 6 drops Tabasco sauce Instructions: Mix all ingredients together. Pour into a tall, narrow glass. Add a grain of salt. (Via webtender.com ) Sazerac Cocktail ( Bill Gurstelle ) Activity: Sipping while sitting in a leather easy chair reading Douglas Adams’ ‘Hitchhiker’s Guide.’ In 2008 the Louisiana House of Representatives voted to make the Sazerac the official cocktail of New Orleans. It’s a great mix of flavors and packs a kick. A favorite with those who understand the art of living dangerously . 1/2 cup ice cubes 1 sugar cube 3 dashes Bitters 2 ounces rye Jim Beam or Old Overholt RYE (not bourbon) whiskey 1/2 teaspoon of absinthe Lemon twist Chill an old-fashioned glass by filling it with ice and water. In second old-fashioned glass, mix together sugar, bitters, and 1/2 teaspoon water thoroughly. Add cognac or whiskey and remaining 1/2 cup ice, and stir well, at least 15 seconds. Take the chilled glass, discard ice and water and pour in absinthe. Swirl it around so the absinthe coats the interior of the glass. Add rye whiskey mixture into the chilled, absinthe-coated glass. Add lemon peel and enjoy. The Princess Leia Activity: Writing yourself into your favorite fanfic. Classy yet strong, just like its namesake. The acai-flavored VeeV adds a little tang to your ‘pagne while the gin supplies the kick. 1/2 shot Bombay Sapphire gin 1/2 shot VeeV Acai liquor Champagne In a champagne flute, add the VeeV and Sapphire, stir, then top off glass with your sparkling wine or champagne of choice. Sapphire Collins Activity: Harvesting parts from a busted piece of consumer electronics. 2 parts Bombay Sapphire Gin 1 part fresh lemon juice 3/4 part simple syrup Club soda Instructions: Pour first three ingredients into a Collins glass with ice and stir well. Add more ice and top with club soda. Garnish with a lemon wedge. Royal Tea (Royalty) ( Curtis Silver ) Activity: I like to drink while using the Adobe Creative Suite to edit videos and pictures of my kids. Arizona Iced Tea (original with lemon) Crown Royal Fresh lemons Fill 16oz cup up with ice to brim, then iced tea to three quarters cup. Fill in rest with Crown Royal. Cut a lemon in half. Squeeze one into the cup and discard. Take the other half and cut it into fours. Put that right into the drink (via Don Martelli , Boston PR Madman.) Cherry Grog ( Michael Harrison ) Activity: Perfect for a night spent powerleveling your guildies through Deadmines (again) or roleplaying your way through the pirate city of Freeport. Splice the main brace, mateys; just don’t overdo it and pull a Leeroy Jenkins, ya lightweight. Collins glass (or a pewter beer stein, if you’re feeling saucy) Mountain Dew Game Fuel, Horde Red Light rum Lime juice Limes Instructions: Fill glass with cracked ice and drop a shot or two of spirits over the ice. Fill the rest up with the Game Fuel. Add a splash of juice and garnish with a wedge of lime The Mom Mellowing Cocktail ( Corrina Lawson ) Activity: It is best consumed after a long, exhausting day, to clear the mind. Two fingers of vodka with lemon flavor Any flavor of diet cola but Diet Coke with Lime works best. Add ice. This is your basic soda & hard liquor mixed drink but I drink it for two reasons: 1. I cannot drink vodka straight. 2. It is somewhat low calorie, with the use of diet soda. Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster ( Matt Blum ) Activity: Best to drink with the old HHGttG TV show or the decidedly-mediocre movie. There are multiple versions this legendary Hitchhikers Guide beverage. This one comes from webtender . 2 oz Vodka 1 oz Triple sec 1/2 oz Grenadine Pineapple juice 7-Up or Slice Instructions: Fill Collins glass with ice. Add 2 oz. of vodka and 1 oz. triple sec. Fill glass almost to the top with pineapple juice, add Grenadine for color, and top off the glass with 7-Up or Slice. Shake or stir until the drink turns a light orange-pink color. Humongor ( Curtis Silver ) Activity: All-night HALO benders. Bottle of Jonnie Walker Black or Red Liter of Mountain Dew One large sports cup Mix 50% Jonnie Walker (didn’t use the cheap stuff to avoid headaches) and 50% Mountain Dew, warm, in a large sports cup. CHUG. Photo: John Edgar Park The Ramos Gin Fizz Activity: This cocktail takes a lot of shaking to fix — great for combining with dice-shaking activities like D&D or Yahtzee! Ah. Born in 1887 to Henry Charles “Carl” Ramos. Not technically a cocktail, but a fizz. A morning-after drink for clearing the haze after you’ve had a few too many the night before. Downright delicious; a creamy, frothy, fragrant, lovely way to set things right again with the dawning day. 1 1/2 oz Old Tom Gin* 3/4 oz Cointreau 3/4 oz Fresh squeezed Lemon Juice 3/4 oz Fresh squeezed Lime Juice 3/4 oz Heavy Whipping Cream 1/2 oz simple Syrup (2:1) 1/2 an egg white (this drink is traditionally built for two, in which case, double the recipe and use the whole egg white) 2 oz Club Soda 3 drops Orange Flower Water Pour the citrus and egg white in a Boston Shaker with the spring from a Hawthorn strainer and dry shake for one minute. Keep ingredients in the tin and in the glass add the Gin, Cointreau, Cream, and Simple Syrup. Fill with ice reconnect with the tin and Shake for one minute. Strain into a large Highball glass (no ice,) top with Club soda, and garnish with Orange Flower Water. (Note: Learn more about the Ramos Gin Fizz on John Park’s website .) Lucid Frappe Activity: Great for moistening a parched throat after an invigorating soldering session. 1 oz. Lucid Absinthe 0.5 oz. of Simple Syrup 6-8 Fresh Mint Leaves 1 oz. of Soda Water Muddle mint leaves in the bottom of a frappe style glass. Add absinthe, simple syrup and fill with crushed ice. Pour mixture into shaker and shake vigorously. Pour contents into glass, top with splash of soda water and garnish with mint sprig. ………….. So, what are your favorite recipes? Leave a comment.

Interactive Map of Afghanistan for iPad. Image By/Used Courtesy Of Development Seed GPS maps for smartphones generally require a fairly high-speed wireless internet connection, consume significant processor resources, and are optimized for driving. But what if your 3G connection is unreliable or unavailable, and you still need to get from point A to point B — perhaps on foot? Last week, I spoke with Eric Gunderson and Ian Cairns at Development Seed, one of the companies developing tools to create custom maps that work in a wider variety of situations, like this one. It’s not that farfetched: In a natural disaster and in the developing world, mobile phones may be useful navigational aids, but only if they can work without a reliable data connection and are optimized for different kinds of transportation than just zooming down the highway to the nearest Starbucks. Development Seed caught our attention with a post that Cairns wrote for PBS’s MediaShift Idea Lab on custom maps for cyclists and drunken, late-night pedestrians . For StumbleSafely, DC Bikes, and DC Nightvision, a typical street map was overlaid with crime data, bike lanes, bar and bike shop locations, and municipal infrastructure: “Not just buildings and roads, but even crosswalks, medians, and topography lines.” In short, all of the data that actually helps you get where you’re going when you’re not in a car. These maps were built with TileMill , an open-source program the company created to help governments, NGOs, news organizations, and others easily create custom maps. The idea is to make map image tiles and Geographic Information System (GIS) data as easy to work with as RSS feeds or CSV databases are today. “We want to put these tools in the hands of the subject-matter experts and see what they can do,” Gunderson told Wired.com. Development Seed won a Knight News Challenge award for the project. Knight News Challenge: Tilemapping from Knight Foundation on Vimeo . One of the most-needed and currently most-poorly-served markets for mapping and data visualization support is in international development. As Gadget Lab reported this week, mobile devices are thriving in Afghanistan and elsewhere in the developing world, but data bandwidth and easy-to-find electricity aren’t. “You can’t get an application like Google Earth working in Afghanistan,” Gunderson said. Maps On A Stick offers full-fledged, data-and-image-rich maps on a USB drive for no-bandwidth or poor-bandwidth use. The company and clients have plenty of experience with those scenarios, mapping uncharted road data in Africa , or helping relief workers provide housing assistance after Hurricane Katrina. I think about those disaster scenarios often, just as I think about the people I love walking home alone in the city late at night. When Apple launched the iPhone, it made a big deal about how its software team had written its own Maps client, using Google’s data only for the backend. It had to work for the touch interface, but it also had to make sense for how people would be likely to use Maps on a mobile device. Now that easy mobile maps have become a natural part of our smartphone-carrying, 3G-surfing lives, it may be time for us to broaden our assumptions about the kinds of maps we’ll need and the conditions we’ll have when we need them.

> An optical microscopy image of a 12-by-9-micron University of Michigan logo produced with this new color filter process. Credit: Jay Guo > View all Apple claims that its iPhone 4 “retina display” has pixels so small the human eye can’t distinguish one from the other. Researchers at the University of Michigan say they can beat that pixel density by an order of magnitude — and make screens that are simpler to make and more efficient to illuminate too. The technology — called plasmonic nanophotonics — works a little like the rainbow, if light were refracted through nano-thin metal grates instead of raindrops. Vary the spacing between the grates, and white light appears in different colors. Instead of the multiple layers of glass, metal polarizers, and filter sheets in a conventional LCD, the polarizer is the color filter. The whole color component of the screen is a three-layer all-metal dielectric stack. The energy savings are potentially tremendous. According to Michigan engineering professor expert Jay Guo, only about 5 percent of the backlight in an LCD screen actually reaches our eyes. This means we could use the technology in optical chip-to-chip communications, or even fiberoptics without the fiber. It could also be used to make high-efficiency, high-resolution projectors, or flexible color screens. And yes — it does allow for the production of extremely tiny color pixels, less than 10 microns. That U of M logo in the first image above? It’s about 12 x 9 microns, or 1/6 the width of a human hair. University of Michigan via R&D Magazine .

The Gadget Lab crew kicks off this week’s podcast with a look at Dylan Tweney’s ugly new kicks, a pair of surf shoes made of recycled soda bottles. They cost $70. Seriously.                     Moving on from cheesy hippy apparel, Brian X. Chen shares the news of an upcoming Apple press conference , where we can expect new iPods, a major iTunes upgrade (streaming!) and maybe a do-over of the Apple TV. Apple’s competitors haven’t been so quiet, either. A “leaked” video emerged this week demonstrating Samsung’s Galaxy Tab , a 7-inch, Android-powered touchscreen tablet that looks to be a worthy rival to Apple’s iPad. Speaking of the iPad — Tweney shares a hack for his iPad to gain 3G service at no additional cost with the help of his iPhone. If you jailbreak your iPhone at the site JailbreakMe.com , you can download an app called MyWi to turn the iPhone into a wireless hot spot. Select the hot spot on your iPad et voila — 3G-surfing privileges on the tablet without any monthly bills. That’s sweet. Still, it’s too bad 3G coverage in general is spotty at best (especially here in San Francisco). Dissatisfied customers are in luck: We’ve heard Sprint may give you a free femtocell to boost your service if it’s proving unreliable. Also, an unhappy AT&T customer on Wired.com staff complained loudly enough to score a free femtocell to fix the crappy reception on his iPhone. Who said whining doesn’t pay off? Like the show?
