Having a giant docking station can make a little iPhone or iPod very loud and powerful. The only issue for most of us is that a docking station of that caliber is not going to fit in most of our homes. The majority of us have a smaller living space, and not a whole lot of extra room for a shrine (you know there are some people out there that do that) to our Apple product. For those of us…

If there’s one thing around the house that I hate doing, it’s my laundry. I can program thousand dollar routers, disassemble/reassemble laptops and can manage servers sitting halfway around the world, yet I get scared of a piece of technology as simple as a washer and dryer. For all of my fears of shrinking or discoloring my clothes, I’ve never actually ruined anything in the wash. In fact, the only thing I tend to mess up is remembering to move…

When lounging on the lake, one immediately thinks of floating on the water, sun, and the sounds of nature caressing your ears. So why not completely ruin all of that by sitting in a giant man-made float that has a built-in sound system?

This float has a built-in MP3 system that can…

Have you ever wanted to make a tweet, but couldn’t quite squeeze it down to 140 characters? That’s one of the biggest reasons why I don’t use the service, because I generally have more than a sentence or two to say when I want to broadcast my thoughts (which is rare enough as it is). Well if you want to be free of the 140 character shackles, you might consider using ShortText. ShortText is a service that allows you to…

Chess is one of those timeless games that I’m happy to play at almost any time. Of course, one doesn’t always have a great place to play. Sure, you can get a travel set with a tiny board, but why not get a little more creative? This Chalk Chess Set encourages you to make your own board by drawing it with the pieces. Each piece is made from a piece of ordinary chalk, which lets you turn any sidewalk into…

If you’re looking for a unique way to add solar to your home, Solar Ivy would be it. Inspired by nature, this “ivy” is actually a series of small solar cells that are imprinted with conductive ink to resemble natural ivy. Designed to be placed on the outside of residential or commercial buildings, Solar Ivy is a combination of solar technology and piezoelectrics. These man-made leaves can be bent to create curved or rigid shapes or mounted to contour the…

It has happened to all of us at least once. You realize all too late that you’ve only woken up with enough time to put on clothes and run top speed into work. Of course, this is the day of a big meeting you had known about for a while, so you want to look good, but don’t have the time to primp in the bathroom beforehand. The Carzor Credit Card Razor will be your new found salvation if you’re…

If you have the need to record your house for security purposes, there are two ways you can go about it. On the one hand, you can put a professional-looking camera on the outside with a glowing LED light to show would-be intruders that they are being watched. The other option is to hide the camera within a boring, everyday object that they wouldn’t suspect. This aptly-named Motion Detection Night Vision Clock Hidden Camera DVR would fall into the latter…

It’s not terribly uncommon to find households that don’t have a landline phone anymore. I ditched mine years ago and haven’t looked back. Of course, not everyone wants to pay for cell phones for every member of their family, or they have a shared plan with only so many minutes to use. In this case, a good old-fashioned landline would come in handy. For those people, there are many different phones they can choose from. These Grand Cordless Phones look…

In this day and age, it’s common to see people with multiple-monitor setups. In fact, I’ve grown so dependent on the extra monitors that I almost hate working on my laptop when I travel. My multitasking skills just simply cannot be fully realized on a single screen. When I am at home, I like to make the most of the extra space. One way to do that is to get my taskbar to extend across all of the monitors. Sadly,…

Nighttime is the worst possible time for things that require a fair amount of illumination such as rifling through your car for something, or riding your bike near traffic. There are always the regular old fallbacks such as the flashlight and your trusty phone, but they can only get you so far. That’s why the 45 LED Packlight is the best way to go for nighttime travel and exploration as it is a strip of 45 LEDs that will uncover…

When you go out camping, there are some of the comforts from home that you’ll want to bring with you. For many people, this includes coffee or tea. Both of these require you to boil water, which means that you’ll need a kettle of some sort. Since kettles can be a bit bulky, someone created this Pack-Away Kettle. The Pack-Away Kettle is a 1.1 liter capacity kettle that flattens down to just over 2 inches tall. The base is made…

Read MoreThis Hands Free Hair Rejuvenator promises to revitalize your follicles through the application of ‘a broad array of pulsed light energy’. We’re kind of thinking you could probably get a similar result from shining a flashlight at your forehead, but then again we’re not scientists. Obviously. So how does it work? Well apparently a particular wavelength of light stimulates cellular activity or something. Isn’t technology wonderful? And you get to look like a reject understudy from the movie Tron. Awesome….
