Perfect Portion Scale

admin — Sat, 31 Jul 2010 23:25:38 +0000

Part of a healthy diet often involves eating just the right portions, but for most of us who aren’t too scientifically inclined, how do we carve out the correct amount to put into our mouths on a daily basis? Well, the Perfect Portions Scale hopes to help, functioning as your in-house Nutrition 101 device

Electroluminescent Mountain Bike

admin — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 20:59:51 +0000

Every now and then I’ll spot someone riding a bike in the middle of the night and most of the time it’s almost impossible to see them. Part of the problem in my area of the world is that it’s usually on a very dark back road and the reflector is so small it’s easily mistaken as nothing more than a mailbox with a reflector on it. If you want to do a little something extra to make your bike stand out this is one tutorial you should check out.

Remote Controlled Lightsaber Lights

admin — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 20:56:03 +0000

A lightsaber just isn’t a lightsaber unless it lets off that strange glow. Well now you can put some use to that glow by making it double as mood lighting in your bedroom. Nothing is bound to draw in the opposite sex more than flipping off that overhead light and letting the romantic glow of the lightsabers do all the work. If you think just one won’t do the trick you could hook up several to really finish off the room. These 27-inch tall wall mounted lightsabers come with a remote control. On that control you can choose between 7 different color effects, although they don’t quite specify what those effects are exactly. To keep one of the lights up and running you’ll need 5 AAA batteries. Those of you with children under 3 should be careful with this one since it does have a whole lot of small parts. You can pick one up for $29.99 through the Star Wars Shop . Although it won’t actually ship out until sometime in August

This is the Float Table, and it combines some of the best technology from the seventies and the eighties, along with yet-to-be-invented hover technology. As you can see, the Float Table has that brown wood look that was so prevalent in the disco decade. The rotary phone is also a nice touch.

Banclock gets an update

admin — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 21:13:22 +0000

It used to be that the Banclock was just a big square block. Instead of going that route, now you can buy one that has a little more of that classic alarm clock feel. Sure, it is just as evil as the original by forcing you to pay up those hard earned coins every time you want a little extra sleep. Yet at least it looks cute while it’s sucking you dry of all of your change. The clock will start chiming by the dollar sign banging against the twin bells. To get it to sleep for a little while you’ll have to pop a coin into the top. If you run out of change you’ll just have to crawl out of bed to make all of that noise stop. It runs on 2 AA batteries, which are not included. Plus the clock comes in pink, black and white. You can purchase it for $55 through the Japan Trend Shop .

Lighted Stovetop lets you pick the color

admin — Sun, 18 Jul 2010 17:00:31 +0000

The first keyboard and mouse I owned that actually allowed me to pick the color of the lighting had me captivated. To me it was the greatest invention ever created at the time. Thankfully LED lighting has not been limited to just computer accessories. Sure, there have been times when the LED lights go a little overboard, but in the case of this stovetop, it just enhances the looks. This bright white style makes your stovetop look a whole lot more modern and chic. If you’re the type that loves to paint and try all different colors just to change things up a little, then this would be a handy item to have around. Not only is it filled with LED lights, but ones that change colors. That means you can change out the coloring time and time again to go with your décor. This is from Gorenje’s “Touch of Light” collection that was designed by Karim Rashid. That sadly means that this will probably be a little hard to get your hands on by being either expensive or just limited in numbers.

It’s definitely worth all of that effort thanks to the finished product, but sometimes it might be nice to make the experience a little more enjoyable.

ArkHippo iPhone Case offers cushion

If you love your Croc shoes, then you’ll be excited by this case that uses that same sort of materials to protect the iPhone 4. These cases add a whole lot of bulk to your iPhone, but you’ll be able to toss around your iPhone to your heart’s content. Plus, for those of you that are clumsy it’ll save your iPhone from that sudden impact when it hits the ground. Now granted it’ll still leave the touchscreen open to use and that also means it could still be damaged. The overall jarring from a fall will be taken care of though. Plus since it is such a bulky case it can be doubled as a stand. I have no idea how they’ll actually fit inside of your pocket though. In order to purchase one of these you’ll have to contact Ark to find out pricing and availability. Source: GeekyGadgets Cool Gift Idea: Digital Picture Frames , check out our reviews.

Both Verizon Wireless and Samsung Electronics have come together this time round, offering a spanking new netbook (all right, so the netbook is not exactly brand new when it comes to a market release, but at least it isn’t pre-loved when yours arrives at the doorstep!) which comes in the form of the Samsung N150, merging a sleek design with a battery life which is able to last up to seven hours. Of course, while there are many places with free Wi-Fi connectivity these days, you would be pleased to know that this version of the Samsung N150 is able to deliver anytime, anywhere mobile broadband network connectivity thanks to the proliferation of Verizon’s network throughout the country. The Samsung N150 has been ready for order since last week, and underneath the hood you will be able to find a range of specifications and features such as an Intel Atom N450 1.66GHz processor running the proceedings from within, not to mention Windows 7 Starter as the operating system of choice which is more than capable of handling a slew of applications without compromising on performance – at least within the confines of a netbook

DIY Water Powered Calculator

Instead of purchasing an eco-friendly water powered calculator and tossing out your old one, only for it to slowly rot in a landfill, you could make your own. It seems to be a whole lot more eco-friendly to convert your current items into something eco-friendly rather than replacing the gadgets you already own. Thanks to a tutorial, you could easily make your own earth friendly calculator. The tools you’ll need include a calculator, carbon or copper rod, a 1 by 1 inch piece of aluminum foil, a small cylindrical container, two 3 inch wires, multipurpose pliers and a glue gun. The materials are pretty basic, nothing you couldn’t get from your local hardware store. I imagine this will work like any other calculator powered by water. You just need to make sure to refill the battery with water when it’s needed

Breville Hot Cup saves on energy

Recently I wrote up a Philips Kettle that promised to save energy and give you a hot cup of water fast. However, I have to say after looking over the Breville Hot Cup, I like it a whole lot better. Granted my reasons may seem a little silly, but I imagine it’ll appeal to a great deal of others. This device boils just as fast, saving you energy, but you don’t have to refill the water quite so often. With this you just fill up the tank and then set the size of the cup you’d like to fill. It’s all pretty basic as far as the usage goes. Thankfully, despite the simple usage it has a smart design that’ll help you save on your energy bill. You can purchase it for £59.99 or about $90 through Nigel’s Eco Store . Source: Envirogadget Cool Gift Idea: Digital Picture Frames , check out our reviews.

Living in a house or apartment that lacks in storage space makes keeping around proper cleaning supplies difficult. Especially if the place has a whole lot of carpet, you need a decent vacuum, but those always take up space. Thankfully Dyson has created the City Canister Vacuum that was redesigned to make it as small as possible. They actually re-engineered all of the 275 parts. They wanted to make it smaller, while still not sacrificing any of that power we all know and love. Sadly, the vacuum isn’t cheap, so those that live in small spaces and also on a budget probably are going to have a hard time getting their hands on one of these. Each one of them costs $380.

We know that water and electricity don’t mix too well, being arch enemies and all that, but the Wet Circuit waterproof power strip offers a paradigm shift as it won’t short out when it comes into contact with water thanks to a patented design which further minimizes the flow of electricity whenever water comes into play as can be seen in the video above. Of course, you would bode well to keep in mind that while water does not have any effect on the Wet Circuit waterproof power strip, not all your gizmos connected to it are. This is hardy enough to remain submerged in water for up to a couple of hours, where it also comes with heating protection and a fuse, not to mention spark protection.

Well, while the iPad is not a dedicated ebook reader, the Amazon Kindle is, which is why Amazon decided to step up their game against its rather illustrious opponent by introducing the new latest generation Kindle DX at a more pocket-friendly price of $379, which is a good $110 cheaper compared to its predecessor of the same name. Not only that, you will still be able to enjoy free 3G wireless connectivity without worrying about monthly bills or annual contracts

This is one of those camping gadgets that is interesting and if you could get used to the change, could be very handy. It’s not something that’s really an option in an area lacking light, but if you have a whole lot of sunlight it’ll save you from having to carry around a constant supply of matches. Plus, unlike matches if something liquid spills in with your camping gear, it can still be used. It’s made of stainless steel and is therefore very durable, so it can handle those harsh conditions. Plus it can be used time and time again unlike other fire starters like lighter fluid. The disk itself uses a parabolic mirror and the shape makes it so the light is focused in a small area. That makes it so that it will catch anything on fire that is between the two prongs. It can even be used for frivolous things like incense. It’s pocket size and can be purchased for $19.95 from Solar Sphere

Programmable LED Traffic Signs

admin — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 19:00:21 +0000

Instead of always switching out to a brand new sign when a speed limit changes, cities could put in these LED signs. They’re programmable, so when changes need to be made it means just sending out a technician to reprogram it, instead of just tossing out the sign entirely. Of course this is just a design by Alexey Chugunnikov, but some of the more progressive areas might end up liking the idea. Where I’m at this would be completely impractical, since there’s absolutely no need to switch out signs all that often. However, in heavily populated areas where things change more often, it could save some money. These LED signs have a frame that protects from rain and being blacked out when the sun is overly bright. It also has protective glass on the front of it. You could switch what it states, make it flash or even increase the brightness of the light. Who knows, it might end up being the next big thing in heavily populated areas.

E3 is supposed to bring the glamorous to town, and this year’s event is the same with news of the Parrot AR.Drone being unveiled alongside its pricing details.

USB LED Desk Lamp Plus Fan

admin — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 20:30:18 +0000

Having a small desk usually means you have to sacrifice some of the things you’d like to keep around or you’re going to have to use up floor space. If you need a fan and a light, but don’t have the room you could always get a fan to sit on the floor and a lamp for your desk. Then again, you could also use one of these USB lamps that doubles as a fan. Of course, it might help if you prefer bright flowery gadgets, because this is the only version of the fan up for sale. To keep it powered the combination gadget just plugs into your normal USB port. There is one tiny detail that they mention at the very very bottom of the product specs, you cannot actually work the fan and light at the exact same time. That means you’ll have to choose between light and cooling yourself off. At least it’s mildly cooler at night when you’ll need the light the most. If you’re still interested despite that little snag, you can pick one of these up for $16 through Gadget 4 All . Source: OhGizmo Cool Gift Idea: Digital Picture Frames , check out our reviews.

KlearKase protects Kindle from water

admin — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 22:00:30 +0000

It seems as if every gadget you can possibly purchase has some sort of a case to protect the gadget from water. Now even Kindle is jumping on that bandwagon. Instead of taking a book with you to the beach, you can slip this case on your very own Kindle and read what you prefer right on your favorite gadget without having to worry about damaging it. The polycarbonate case only weighs 6 ounces, which isn’t too shabby. The case is completely clear, so you’ll get to see all of your Kindle without too much getting in your way. The case is also pretty affordable for those of you on a tight budget. Right now it’s priced at $39.99, which is far less than it would cost to replace your Kindle after you manage to get it wet. Although keep in mind you shouldn’t dunk this under the water completely since it’s just splash proof instead of waterproof.

Ecotek Energy Wizard saves energy

admin — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 20:30:22 +0000

A lot of appliances currently created are a lot more mindful of their energy usage. However, for those of us using old appliances or ones from companies that just don’t care about that sort of thing, there is a bit of hope. The Energy Wizard is intended to make sure that your appliance doesn’t suck up quite so much energy as it normally would. Of course these Ecotek Energy Wizards are only going to help out those with a standard UK 3 pin plug socket. It could reduce your consumption by up to 10%, just depending on how badly your appliance leaches power. It works by making sure the alternating current and voltage works a little more smoothly. The voltage and current rise and fall together. By forcing you appliance to do that it makes it run much more efficiently and will bring down that energy bill. You can purchase one of these for £23.50 through Amazon . Source: Envirogadget Cool Gift Idea: Digital Picture Frames , check out our reviews.

Alarm Clock Tea Maker

admin — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 18:15:01 +0000

This has to be the strangest combination gadget ever and yet I could see it becoming very handy. Instead of waking up to an obnoxious beep, you could wake up to that beep noise and quickly recover with a nice hot cup of tea. Of course maybe you should keep away from the chamomile, it’s probably best not to do anything that might help you fall back to sleep. If you like instant coffee instead of tea, it can do that as well. Should you be a tea fan though it’ll require 2 of your favorite tea bags and your own cup and saucer set. You just put either your mix or tea bags into the teapot the night before and fill up the Teasmade with cold water. A few minutes before the alarm it’ll boil the water and then the alarm will go off after the water is finished. You can purchase it for £59.99 or about $88 through MenKind

We’re pretty sure that most of you out there are familiar with the phrase, do not judge a book by its cover? The same applies to the world of gizmos as well, as we are not supposed to judge how a gadget will perform based on its size and looks. The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX75 is one such device that ought to be approached with a degree of respect, since this super-slim digital camera might be small in stature, but it manages to pack in big features such as a 24mm ultra-wide-angle F2.2 bright LEICA DC VARIO-SUMMICRON lens with 5x optical zoom that will come in handy if you’re a huge fan of shooting High Definition video for posterity.

After a while it becomes time that you need to grow up just a bit in order to appear respectable to the rest of the adult world. Although it’s silly, your average lava lamp isn’t going to make you look the best to your very serious adult friends. However, you might be able to pull off this tower since it has a slightly different shape that makes it look slightly more modern than like something a college student might own. You can either choose to pick up the jet black or purchase pretty pink. Either one will cost you the same amount, so it just depends on your color preference. The lamp stands over 4 fee tall and functions just like your average lava lamp. Just turn it on and you’ll get to watch the black wax bob up and down. You can purchase one for $67.77 through Amazon

Music For Deaf People Collar

admin — Sun, 30 May 2010 19:24:47 +0000

The first time I learned Beethoven had a bit of a hearing problem, I was baffled as to how he managed to go on with his music career. It’s been said that he listened through vibrations in the floor to discover different things like to find out if the audience really liked his work. Using vibrations to “hear” isn’t an entirely uncommon concept for anyone who is deaf, which does still make this concept a little odd. Then again, it’s not exactly far fetched either. This collar is meant to give music to the deaf by using those vibrations to trigger the right area of the brain, allowing them to listen. This collar was done by a German designer who wanted the deaf to be able to at least feel the music. It converts auditory input into vibrations that trigger the same sound-processing area of the brain as someone with functioning hearing. Whether or not it will really catch on is debatable, but it’s an interesting concept at the very least.

If you know someone or are one of those tea obsessed drinkers you ought to check out this light for yourself or them. It’d be a fun way to illuminate your tea practices. The light is made out of a classic white cup and has a switch made to look like your average teabag. In fact it’s a very furry pull switch. It uses a 25 watt bulb to get you the light you desire. Other than that it’s actually a pretty basic light that was designed by Jan Bernstein. You can purchase the Pendant TeeLight for €65 or about $82, so it’s not the cheapest of lights.

Cordless Patio Lantern

Not all lanterns need to make you look like the great outdoorsmen. Every so often you want something a little more decorative, but that still allows for you to take it outside or use it as emergency back-up lighting. Thankfully this has the best of both worlds. It has a decorative look, but it’s meant to withstand being set outside on your patio all night long. This has 3 different levels of brightness. In order to make it brighter or turn it on/off you just tap the very top of the lantern. Which could mean you have to tap the handle. If that’s the case it could make carrying this around a whole lot more obnoxious. If you just want it to leave in one spot though, it wouldn’t be a big deal. In order to get it power you just plug it into the wall by using the AC charging base. It’ll be fully charged and ready to go after 6 hours of sitting on the base. Thanks to the polycarbonate case it can handle wind, rain and even dirt. You can pick it up for $99.95 through Hammacher Schlemmer .

This is one of those weapons you’d expect the bad guy in a movie to start laughing at, only to get his eye taken out by the surprisingly powerful miniature cannon. Although if it were a movie, it would actually kill the person, whereas this cannon probably wouldn’t go quite that far. The itty bitty brass cannon is fully functioning and can absolutely destroy a decent sized beer mug. To work the cannon you just do the same as you would with a full-sized, everything is just a whole lot tinier. It requires a very small amount of gun powder, steel balls and a fuse. Thankfully you don’t just get a picture of the cannon, but you can watch a video of it shoot at various objects like a light bulb, an egg and a coke can. It just doesn’t get much better than an adorably miniature cannon.
