ChiliPad – Hot and cool nights

By Christina Crouch on Thursday, Dec 27th 2007 2 Comments

My room has two temperatures: stifling hot and freezing cold. I have a little A/C and a few fans, and lots of blankets to try to even things out but it never quite works, so I’m always open to new suggestions. The ChiliPad sounds excellent to me.

During the summer time my dad DJ’s for different events and I can tell you it’s nerve wrecking when you can’t find the cables/adapters you need. The Electronic Musician’s Emergency Adapter Kit is a god-send in those instances. It comes with just about anything you’d need.

Lobster Vision gives you x-ray vision

By Christina Crouch on Wednesday, Dec 26th 2007 No Comments

Lobster Vision Who hasn’t ever wished they had x-ray vision. Whether for nefarious reasons or just plain curiosity, I’m sure we’ve all yearned for it at one time or another.

Physical Optics Corp., which is based in Torrance California, has come up with a product they call LEXID (Lobster-eye X-ray inspection Device) and it can see through wood, concrete and steel. It does so by reading the reflection, instead of refraction, of x-rays that are beamed at certain objects/walls. This is how lobsters see in murky waters, thus the name.

I think this is amazing. It’ll be a great help for people in law enforcement or, especially, soldiers. I can’t help but think how many lives this could possibly save. For my own selfish, and possibly nefarious reasons, I’d love to get my hands one but it looks like it’ll only be for those government type people.

The BOSS Comes To Prisons – Body Orifice Security Scanner

By Christina Crouch on Monday, Dec 24th 2007 1 Comment

BOSS Sometimes I see a product and I think… that’s perfect! The Body Orifice Security Scanner, or BOSS, is something along those lines.

Prisons in England and Wales are using the BOSS to scan inmates for “hidden objects”. This chair comes with three sensitive sensors capable of detecting hidden materials as small as a paperclip within the body.

Truthfully, I think it’d be a lot more useful in another setting, airports. Just a quick sit in the chair and no more hassle of “random inspections”. I think it would be quicker as well as less invading.

Cervellum Bike Digital Rearview Mirror

By Christina Crouch on Monday, Dec 24th 2007 No Comments

There aren’t many things a bike needs. Handle bars and wheels of course, maybe some beads or cards for the spokes if you want to bring back your childhood, possibly even a water bottle holder for those long rids. I camera/rearview mirror to show you what’s behind you, though, I don’t think is necessary.
