Friday fun - Disco Ball Alarm Clock

Friday, May 11th, 2007

dalamain.jpg
Oh, I can’t see this annoying anyone else in the room :-) - and maybe thats the perfect reason to get one. When the digital display hits the set alarm time – the disco ball has got it all goin’ on! The ball begins to boogie, with different colored lights dancing around the room to the retro disco beat!

You could rub it in even more if you sprung up outa bed and yelled ” I’ve got Monday morning fever!”

heh, - it’s $29.95 and you can buy it HERE

One of my wifes big complaints about her bluetooth headset is that its hard to hear in the car (what with background noise etc). This slick looking device is an answer to that problem with a few extra goodies thrown in.

It’s OLED screen displays phone status, battery, call status, caller ID, and local phonebook records, and you can recharge the unit via USB connection or car charger.

You can either clip it to your sun visor or vent with the included clips.

The Halo™ UVX Ultraviolet Vacuum, the only vacuum that cleans what you see, kills what you can’t, all without the use of nasty chemicals.

As seen on the Today Show, the Halo™ UVX Ultraviolet Vacuum can kill potentially dangerous micro-organisms by disrupting the DNA structure of their cells. Run the Halo™ UVX Ultraviolet Vacuum over your carpets as you would with a normal vacuum, activate the UV-C bulb with the trigger on the handle and you’re instantly and safely deactivating the DNA of the dust mites, viruses, bacteria, fleas, lice and mold that had been lurking between the fibers.

For spring cleaning this vac will get you some really clean carpets, and for $399.00 its actually cheaper that most of its competition. Manufacturers website

This gadget is pure silly good fun. Use this stapler and get a goodly shock. How goodly? I quote “Not to used by Children, The Elderly, Pregnant Women those with heart issues, those on a Pacemaker.

You could leave it around the house or office for entertainment… in fact I’d love to see a video of innocent people getting whacked by this.

Best of all its a steal at $2.75

Have a Good Weekend and happy Cinco De Mayo !

Rush Hampton 61001 Mosquito Catcher

Thursday, May 3rd, 2007

41DHC9ZQ67L._AA280_.jpg

We’ve all seen the propane driven mosquito catchers, the problem with those is the price. From $200 - $500! Priced like that the units are more than prohibitive. I wouldn’t buy one of those unless I was buried waist deep in the little pests.

This new tech breakthrough comes from Rush Hampton and has gotten rave reviews. It uses no propane, and no chemicals. (There is a baiting pack available but the unit proves to be just as effective without it.)

No high voltage either - so its safe around pets and kids.

To make it even more attractive (and get it listed here) its been reduced in price
from $149.95 to $99.14 !
You can get it HERE at Amazon

R/C Spy Video Car with Night Vision

Wednesday, May 2nd, 2007

spy_video_car.jpg

This is no ordinary remote controlled car, it has an onboard camera with nightvision that transmits to a heads up display that you wear! - the HUD is black and white so no full color shots … but for sneaky spy missions who needs color? The cars motors are quiet and it rides low to the ground so you can drive under things to get to the perfect camera spot.
The Hud itself plugs into the remote controller - and it looks like the output is an RCA type connector - meaning you might be able to port the output to TV or PC for viewing/recording.

The price for such digital tomfoolery? $129.99 at ThinkGeek
