Cobra iRadar
I like the idea of radar detectors that have good range and notification of red light or speed cameras. What I don't like about radar detectors is the cord you have to plug in to your cigarette lighter. Yes, there are versions that are wireless (but the batteries don't last long enough and the effective […]
Grill ‘N Chill Tailgater
One thing I have noticed at tailgates is that people keep trying to one-up each other with fancier tailgating gadgets. Quit adding little bits of bling and really step up to the plate with the Grill ‘N Chill Tailgater ($2,500-$3,500). This bad boy has a 24,000 BTU infrared grill, a beer tap system, a […]

Better, Faster, Stronger Raytheon Sarcos Exoskeleton XOS2
The Raytheon Sarcos XOS military exoskeleton is over three years old, and was amazing then, the newer version is even more powerful.

SteriShoe Ultraviolet Shoe Sanitizer
If you are a cootiephobe like me, you like any gadget that claims to kill cooties (like the ones for toothbrushes, etc,). The SteriShoe makes sense in that it is going after one place that could definitely use some coodie killing, the shoe. The SteriShoe is basically a shoe insert that has an ultraviolet UV […]

Awareness! The Headphone App
I haven't actually had the time to buy/use the Awareness! The Headphone App ($4.99) yet, but the idea is sound. The Awareness iPhone/iPod Touch App basically lets you listen to your music and ports in external sounds that exceed the level of regular background noise. For example a semi-truck about to run you over or […]

Coleman has decided that the lights don't have to go out just because the power does. This Coleman LED Quad Lantern will keep the night at bay. It's a pretty nifty design. It has 24 LED's configured in 4 groups of 6. The nifty part is that each group of six is on it's own […]
