Solar Table

You may have noticed my solar fetish by now… I love solar!  The Sun Table is a stainless steel and teak table with a built in 64 Watt unbreakable (the unbreakable part is questionable) solar panel, and a rechargeable battery (4 hours of good sun will charge the battery).  The…

Hammock Tent

Love camping… but not a fan of pitching your tent on the ground with the scorpions, spiders, rodents, etc…?  Check out the Lawson Hammock tent.  This tent comes with spreader bars on both ends so you don’t feel like a mummy… it can hold one person and their gear.  Pretty…

A Bowl Haircut For Your Goatee – the Goateesaver

When I first saw this I literally was laughing out loud (or LOL for the cool folks). This gadget is basically an adjustable goatee cover that you shave around. Think of the old fashioned bowl haircut. I have a goatee and sometimes (rarely) struggle with getting the shave straight. I…

Axon Anti-Gravity RC Hovercraft – The Razorback

I love remote control gadgets… cars… boats… planes… helicopters… etc… So when I saw the video for the Axon Razorback RC hovercraft I pee’d a little. The Razorback will go 25mph right out of the box… but can go 50mph (won’t take 2 minutes to crash it at those speeds)…

Hide Your Valuables – Hidden Safe In Filing Cabinet

I am one of the most paranoid types… I always think of where people will look when I am hiding something of value… and I always worry that my small safe (not bolted down) can just be picked up and walked away with.  So, I like when I see “smart”…

Security Camera Follows Movement

Ever watched surveillance video where the bad guys walks out of the cameras view… and you are left wondering what they are up to just off camera? Well wonder no more… the PIR1002AT camera can track a person with a 180-degree viewing area. The camera uses three infrared sensors to…

Find Your Luggage Easier At The Airport Carousel

Seems like 90% of the luggage out there looks identical these days.  Some folks try and differentiate their luggage with a piece of yarn or tape… and that works fine, until your luggage flips over, etc… Enter the “Easy-2-Pick” which should be available this fall for under $20.  The Easy-2-Pick…

iPhone App – Multi-Client IM App

Palringo is the first official multi-client IM (instant messenger) application for the iPhone.  The program supports Google Talk/Jabber, Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo, ICQ, iChat, and Gadu-Gadu. I just got done installing it… it takes a a bit to figure it out… but seems to work well once you get the…
