Sun Table forces you outside

, Dec 19th 2007 Discuss [1]

For those that enjoy the great outdoors while trying to work on their laptop, this solar table is just the way to save on that energy bill. Now anyone can take one look at my pasty white skin and know that it is highly unlikely that I'll be toting my laptop out into the dreaded sunlight. However, I can appreciate the gesture of creating a table to make the world a greener place. Read The Full Story

The Ride – It’s retro and new all at once

, Dec 14th 2007 Discuss [0]

Even though I’ve not been on a bike in years I’d still like have one again. However, my “adult and sophisticated” self wouldn’t settle for just any old ordinary bike. No, I want my bike to special and maybe have some sort link to the 1400’s. Read The Full Story

Barrel Sauna – A steamy backyard retreat

, Dec 12th 2007 Discuss [0]

On my list of “Things I want when I make it big” you’ll find ‘Sauna’ towards the top. There isn’t much that’s more refreshing than a steam bath, in my opinion. Calloway Woodworks knows and understands this desire. They’ve got an Outdoor Barrel Sauna for around $4500-$6670. I don’t think that’s a bad price at all. I may even afford one before I make it big.

The Intelligent Lantern – Smart and Functional

, Dec 10th 2007 Discuss [0]

Camping is something my whole family really enjoys. The best part being all the nifty gadgets you can buy to make your ‘back to the basics’ vacation not so basic after all. The Intelligent Lantern would be one such gadget. It’s equipped with a digital clock, speakers, radio and an mp3 hookup. Not to mention its primary function… its light can be seen from over a mile away with its ‘dual articulating lanterns’. This is definitely my kind of lantern. Not only does it serve its purpose but cuts down on space and equipment by serving several other purposes as well. If you know any camping enthusiasts you may want to add the Intelligent Lantern to your shopping list. An Unexpected Convergence Device: The Lantern [via Crave]

Lex uses your bike to deliver your message to everyone around you

, Oct 30th 2007 Discuss [0]

One of my favorite past times is riding my bike. I don't do it nearly as much as I once did, and I'm actually a bit sorry for that. There's just something relaxing about taking off down a country road that just can't be duplicated. I can honestly say at no time did I ever consider using my bike wheels to display some type of message to passerbys. Read The Full Story

Sharper Image Wireless Outdoor Monophonic One-Speaker System

, Oct 28th 2007 Discuss [0]

Sure, wireless speakers aren’t all that new, neither are outdoor speakers, but a smart combination of the two brought to you by Sharper Image, well that’s nearly a work of art. They use 2.4GHz signals, so you’ll have to make sure it doesn’t interfere with any of your other gear. Other than that, all you need is an audio source that uses a standard headphone jack for its output. You can also by a second speaker, to make it stereo, its not another one of the main unit, it’s a special auxiliary speaker. Read The Full Story

, Oct 17th 2007 Discuss [1]

, Oct 10th 2007 Discuss [3]

Do people still go inline skating? I suppose that they do, but I can't say that I've actually seen anyone doing such a thing since the 90's. Everyone around here seems to be far more interested in skateboarding. If you're into that kind of thing, here's a way to add a little something to your skate. Read The Full Story

StreetSurfer – Biking just got really lame, and expensive

, Sep 14th 2007 Discuss [0]

Do you remember what it was like when you were a kid and you finally got to ride your very own two-wheel bike without any training wheels? It takes far more skill to keep a bike with two wheels upright than it does to keep a bike with training wheels up. A new company is hoping you won't mind taking a step back and turning your bike into a 5-wheeler. Read The Full Story
