SolarKindle charges your eReader in the sun
It seems that books are starting to slowly filter out of homes, and eReaders and tablets are taking their place. Though it is a bit sad to see them go, the environment is probably a little happier about the shift. Even with these kinds of devices though, it takes energy to power them, which can be costly, and still have some adverse effects on the environment. Which is why cases like the SolarKindle can come in rather handy.

If you�ve ever had an induction range, you know how sleek and awesome they are. They do have the same function as any type of stove, as your food is still going to be cooked on it.

Read MoreCar seat automatically identifies occupant, joy riding set to plummet soon
There’s facial recognition, car and household alarms and a variety of other high tech security measures that help keep our things safe. But the Japanese have taken this to a new high (or low) with a car seat that can identify who’s sitting in it. Scientists at The Advanced Institute of Industrial Technology in Tokyo have created a pressure car seat that uses a system of 360 pressure sensors that can tell who’s sitting in the seat. It’s 98 percent…
Read MoreWhat if your guitar never needed to be tuned?
Anyone who plays a stringed instrument likely has a tuner, or magical tuning powers. (aka perfect pitch) For those of us who don’t have super human capabilities, we have to use a tuner, and hope that it is functioning correctly so we don’t mess up the song we’re about to play. However, even if we’re right in the middle of a song the strings can still work their way out of tune.
Read MoreStar Trek Electronic Door Chime
Coming home from work is a cause for celebration because it means you can sit and watch Star Trek until you have to sleep. Although, it’s a little bittersweet because you can only be a spectator to such a fantastical world. You keep hoping and praying that somehow the TV will engulf you so that the only job you’d have to worry about would be on the Enterprise.
Read MoreTubalr gives you a cleaner interface for watching YouTube music videos [Daily Freeware]
YouTube is one of of the most revolutionary websites to come out of the last decade. It gave us the ability to not only share new video creations of our own, but to watch commercially-produced videos any time we wanted. Of course, it took a long time for the record labels to agree to have their music videos on the site legally (with advertisements and such), but now it’s pretty easy to find most songs that you want. When there’s…
Read MoreBubble Tank Fish Bowl always looks precariously perched
Being around anything glass makes me nervous, for the same reason letting a bull into an antique store would scare anyone else. If it’s breakable, it should be in the middle of a solid surface, so it can’t get knocked off the side. Well, that’s what I had thought until I came across the Bubble Tank Fish Bowl.
Read MoreTool Tank is a cute screwdriver that’s always on hand
If you’ve ever been caught in a situation where you’ve had to use your keys as a makeshift screwdriver, there are a lot of people who can relate. So why not just keep one on your keychain? Maybe you just haven’t found one that looks cool enough for you. Well now you have.

There has been a lot of commotion with the �green movement�, and it seems that the tech world is slowly starting to catch on. A good example of this is the Bracketron’s GreenZero Charger. Nothing about the sockets in your wall need to change, which is a huge plus, because all of the energy-saving magic is happening in their Eco-friendly chargers.
Read MorePiepEgg plays disco to let you know when your egg is done
When it comes to cooking eggs, they seem to be somewhat delicate, especially if you’re boiling them. This is greatly due to the fact that you can’t see how far along the cooking process is going because of the shell. Wouldn’t it be great if there were an easier way to do this?
Read Moreblip.me turns your phone into a walkie-talkie [Daily Freeware]
When I was a kid, my brother and I had a pair of walkie-talkies that we loved. We would always carry them around, regardless of what game we were playing outside, so we could keep in constant contact. These days cell phones have pretty much rendered such devices obsolete (though they do still have their uses, I admit), but if you want to recreate those youthful days, you can do so with a free app for your smartphone.

Any movie buff wants to be up on their movie knowledge. However, if your lifestyle has you on the go all the time, then you’re likely not going to get to see the films that you want to watch on a regular hotel tv screen. This is where things like the Sanwa 400-PRJ011 iPhone Micro Projector can come in handy.
