Bowling is a peaceful way to relax after a long day at work. The sound of the pins crashing and the ball rolling down the lane can be a zen garden for some of us. Although, going to a bowling alley full of people, nachos, and cigarette smoke is not near as tranquil as one would hope. If you have always wanted to bowl a game at home, but didn’t want to have to install an entire bowling alley in…

If you are one of those people, you need a special device to get you up. You need the Omnipotent Alarm Clock. This clock has 21 alarms that can be set for specific times, seven of which can be programmed to go off at the same time every single…

It’s pretty easy to record video footage these days. Almost every phone can do it, and since most people aren’t more than a few feet from their cell at any time, you can bet that there’s always a camera around. However, if you want to shoot some video underwater, you’ll have a little more difficulty. After all, the worst thing you can do to a camera is drop it in water (well, a blender might be a little worse). For…

Riding your bike at night can be a dangerous affair. Motorists don’t always see you when it’s light outside, so it can be even more difficult at night. Having reflectors is really not good enough, you need to have some sort of light on your bike that is always shining through the darkness. A simple headlight and tail light will suffice, but if you really want to brighten up your two-wheeler, you might check out the Bikeglow Safety Light. This…

If you’ve ever been to a military surplus store (or actually served in the military), you’ve probably seen MRE’s. These are �Meals Ready to Eat� (thus the abbreviation), which consist of foods that can be stored for long periods of time and eaten without the need to add anything to them except water. I have a friend who used to bring these on camping trips, and the food actually isn’t that bad. Thus, having some on hand in case of…

Scales are interesting devices. You stand on them, then look down to your feet to see what you weigh. If you’re nice and trim, you won’t have any issues seeing what the numbers say. However, there are those people out there that can’t easily see between their feet because of their weight. To get around this issue, one can purchase the Wall Projection Scale. This device operates much like any ordinary scale. The difference is that your weight will be…

There are some people who have those amazing dogs that have been trained so well that they can open and close doors, and even get a soda from the fridge. Sad to say, most of us do not have a dog that is so talented. So why not instead get something shaped like a dog that lights up and makes a beeping sound if it will fetch something for you? Fetch My Keys is a key alarm that will let…

Do you hate carrying around a jumbled mess of keys? Sure, slapping them all on a ring is the most simple way to carry your keys, but it’s not very well-organized, nor is it all that appealing to look at. If this bothers you, then why not craft a better solution? That’s exactly what one Instructables user did. Using a hex key set, a few extra bits and common workshop tools, you can make a really neat key holder. The…

Going on a hiking trip is a lot of fun and very tiring. The only downside apart from the bugs is getting your shoes to a point of no return. Run down or water-logged shoes can make hiking ten times harder than it would be normally. Not many hikers can afford the space and weight of an extra pair of shoes, until the Timberland Radler Trail Camp Shoes came along that is. These shoes were designed to be rugged, lightweight,…

For many years I’ve done the majority of my online communication via instant messengers such as Yahoo, AIM, and more recently, Skype. However, it seems that a lot of people are instead opting to use Facebook’s own chat functionality. Personally, I’ve never used a more buggy messenger, but the convenience of having it built into a social network is what appeals to most users. Well, if you want to take your Facebook chat with you no matter where you go,…

This little stylus will always be right at your fingertips and is perfect for when it’s cold out and you’d rather not take off your gloves. Also,…
