Grill Alert consists of two units; A transmitter, a stick-like device that is jabbed into thie of meat in the grill, and a receiver that is put on a table nearby so that you can monitor the meat. Besides being a thermometer, you can set the level of cooking you want (rare all the way to well done). This device is great if you have a smoker that smokes meat over a long period of time (I am investing in a smoker, so when I get it, a review will come for sure). If you don't want to sit next to your smoker for hours (like most people), you can carry around the receiver and it will beep when everything is ready. The receiver is LCD, and has bars and words to guide you through. The whole unit can be bought for $75 USD over at Brookstone. Grill Alert - Remote Meat Thermometer [Via: Uber-Review]

Have you ever looked at your hairdryer (or the hairdryer of a loved-one) and thought "yeah, make that much bigger, hang it from a crane and I could ride that bad boy!"?  Well if you have, you should've patented the idea; it's too late to do it now, because New Zealand company Fly By Wire have already built a petrol-engined tethered sled that riders can fly around dizzily. Attached by (hopefully very strong) cables to a point 200 metres above a canyon, riders use the adjustable fan-propeller to steer and control altitude.  A span of 400 metres means there's a whole lot of airspace to whizz through, launching initially from a near-vertical position and plunging toward the ground.  Rides start at $95 (US) for 25-minutes.

If you're anything like me you're currently wearing a jumper, drinking strong coffee and harbouring a love-hate relationship with squirrels.  On good days, I think they're cute little fellas with their bright eyes and capable claws; on bad days, I think they're disgusting rats with show-off tails.  Either way, I know that they cause havoc in gardens eating all the food people put out for the birds (don't get me started on birds!) and becoming fat little barons.  Well, look out squirrels, because you're going down! The Rollerfeeder is a precariously-balanced drum of bird-food which, when a squirrel sets foot on it, tumbles round and dumps the rodent unceremoniously to the ground.  A carefully weighted bottom (just like my third wife) then rightens the drum so that small birds can again feast.  Large birds are probably unable to eat from this, due to being too heavy, but then they should lose some weight anyway unless they want to be cat food. Rollerfeeder is available now for $79.95.  Go buy two. Product Page [via OhGizmo!]

Anyone who thought that Thunderbird 4 was the best ever underwater craft might have to have a rethink after seeing the Sawfish.  Designed for underwater logging, the 7000lb remotely-operated craft was developed by Triton Logging and can harvest up to fifty trees in each dive, sending them floating to the surface via reusable inflatable airbags. Powered by a 40-75HP electric motor that uses biodegradable and vegetable oil-based hydraulic fluids, a combination of eight video cameras and a sonar system allows the operator to use the Sawfish's 55-inch chainsaw to make short work of underwater forests.  I think it has the potential to be this Christmas' bath-toy.
