SZARCWARE Bluetooth iPad Keyboard

Hey blog readers! we have a new Facebook page! Check it out at http://on.fb.me/U9s2Ld

Hello blog readers! I know how much you all love your iPads/iPods/iPhones. (I know I love mine!) But I seem to find a continually frustrating aspect of the design of iDevices. The virtual keyboard is either to dang small or way to big. For iPod Touch, iPhone, and iPad mini users, click here. For owners of an iPad, you're going to need something more than a keyboard. You are going to need one that looks nice, protects your screen when closed, connects through Bluetooth, AND charges your iPad too. The only affordable keyboard that fits that criteria is the simply named iPad case with Bluetooth. It sports an 8000 MaH battery that, according to an equation in my last post, will last ~2.6 hours assuming that it is always being actively used and it is charging your battery at the same time. So in a low usage scenario, it should last 4-6 hours, that should get you and your iPad through the day. It also features a Broadcom chip for Bluetooth. And to make it even better, Broadcom has been the leader in wireless and ARM products for years. The keyboard also doubles as a case and covers the front and back of the iPad. It also includes holes for your headphone port (duh). You can also customize your case on their website from a wide assortment of colors (again, duh. what kind of case company doesn't let you pick the color of the case?). And the best part of all, they start at $10.50 USD! That's cheaper than my sketchy keyboard here which costs $10 more! They even have very fast shipping in about 15 days. I have bought a lot of stuff from the same area as this company and it has taken anywhere from 17 days to 4 months from Amazon. And this company is for a worthy cause. They have recently donated (and sold, but mostly donated) their iPad cased with iPads from Apple that were gifted to schools around the world to assist with incorporating technology into education. You can buy it now from http://www.szarcware.com/ Have Fun!

Bluetooth keyboard review

Hey blog readers! we have a new Facebook page! Check it out at http://on.fb.me/U9s2Ld

I just got this keyboard in the mail and i love it! I am using it right now to type this post. I will not say that it is perfect, but it's good enough for my needs. If you would like to buy it and try it for yourself, go to amazon.com and dearch for "Rii bluetooth keyboard". to sum up my 2 hour experience with it so far, I separated,the pro's and the con's.

Pros:
very fast
responsive
backlight
laser pointer
incredibly fast shipping

Cons:
loud clicks
awkward to type with touchpad in the way.
takes multiple swipes,for a 180 turn in openarena
must keep line of sight between connector and keyboard.

Despite all the cons, I really like this keyboard. I just used it with my raspberry pi to play minecraft and openarena. I love this and highly recommend that you buy one too. Have Fun!

Unite a wii remote and your PC

No, that is not a typo, it is possible to pair your wii remote and your computer. Here's what you need:
1. A USB or integrated Bluetooth adapter
2. A computer running Linux, if you run windows or Mac os x, google it.
3. A wii remote (I have links for a wii fit board at the end)
4. Super user powers for your Linux account (aka, ability to enter sudo in a terminal with the correct password)

One quick note, as long as you keep your wii turned off while you do this, your wii remote should be able to instantly reconnect to your wii without issues. And once again, as the author of this article, I assume no responsibility for damage to your property, blah blah blah...

Let's get started! First, open a terminal or package manager and type sudo apt-get install lswm wmgui wminput
Or in package manager, just search for the words (one at a time) after install. After you do so, it will ask for your password if you are root or admin. if you are not root or admin, log into one or become one or else this won't work!
After it finishes installing, FULLY restart your computer (no hibernating, sleeping, or software reset). Then go to a terminal and type sudo modprobe uinput. Then press 1 and 2 on the wii remote and quickly type lswm. Then type wminput, space, and then the long number it gave you when you entered lswm (yes, you DO have to type everything). Press enter for the wminput quickly after you press 1 and 2 on the wii remote again. Now tilt your wii remote and watch the cursor move. You can do anything now (except DO NOT close the terminal window). Have fun! (if you want IR capabilities or wii fit board connections, google it, lots of people can explain it a lot better than me). Post in the comments below what YOU did. I want to see your creativity!
