Portable Field Cooker Stove
I like this one… first time I have laughed out loud today. Not so much that there is a goofy gadget that allows you to strap a portable stove onto a tree… but that the picture they chose to use is that of a man and his sheep. Oh the lonely (hungry) man and his […]
Two Huge Solar Farms Coming to California
San Luis Obispo county is the latest in a race to build the world’s largest solar farm. The solar plant will cover 12.5 square miles and generate 800 megawatts of power! OptiSolar (550 megawatts) and SunPower (250 megawatts) will be doing the installation. The solar energy will be sold to PG&E at unknown rates. Via […]
OCZ Core Series V2 Sata II SSD
OCZ, the memory dudes, just released their Core Series 2.5-inch Sata SSD drive that is fast… very fast. The drive will write at 98Mb/s and read at 170MB/s, and maximum size will be 250GB’s. A cool feature is the addition of a mini USB port for firmware upgrades and hopefully external storage use. No […]
From Art To Chair/Table Set
I wish I knew where to find/buy this cool table and chair set. The artsy piece converts into a functional table set for four. Very cool.
Bad Ass Golf Carts
Bad Ass Golf Carts in Las Vegas has some seriously trick golf cart options. They offer everything from limousine stretch versions to lifted a full 14-inches. The best part… they put 24HP Honda engines in the carts so they are reliable. They aren’t cheap… the one I want starts at almost $13,000. [Source]
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 top has a hinge on […]
Another Robot Dog, Only Smaller
First came the Boston Dynamics “Big Dog”, then came the hilarious “Big Dog Spoof”… now there is the Boston Dynamics “LittleDog”. The little dog is smaller (duh) and quieter than the original. These robots are starting to worry me a bit… all of those old “robots taking over the world” movies are starting to look […]
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 cool… assuming you can find […]
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 am not sure if 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) with a simple motor upgrade. […]
