CheckTap is a “Programmable” Power Tap Device!

Posted in Consumer, Cool, Design, Earth, Energy, Gadgets, Household by max on the June 30th, 2008 at 1:00 pm

CheckTap is a \"Programmable\" Power Tap Device!

This is one of those gadgets, “why didn’t they think of this before?”.  The power tap device called CheckTap can be programmed via your PC through a USB cable to control and also schedule which and when your devices are on/off.

This gadget supposedly could save your home/office a whole lotta electricity, so long as you can “program” it.  I do assume that most people will be able to program this thing but do have my doubts that over 50% of population will probably be stuck trying to program it.  Maybe they can actually make a “smarter” device that you don’t have to program for the future and gadget-lovers like me.

Crane Crank It Up Calamity Kit!

Posted in Consumer, Cool, Design, Earth, Energy, Gadgets, Household, lights by max on the June 24th, 2008 at 9:37 am

Crane Crank It Up Calamity Kit!

It’s one thing to have an emergency kit that requires batteries and it’s another whole level if you got one that can be cranked for power.  The Crane Calamity Kit comes with a crank radio, crank flashlight, and crank indigo lantern so you can feel safe in emergencies.  We agree that every emergency kit should at least come with an option to crank power nowdays.

After many “dinner in the dark” experiences, C. Crane has the perfect solution for a power failure or other natural disaster that leaves you in the dark – the Calamity Kit! The three-piece kit includes our Indigo Lantern, Sherpa Flashlight, and EyeMax Weather Radio, and this kit is well suited for making dinner for the family and staying informed of any new weather events or other news in your area.

DIY - How to Build a Skateboard-Windsurfer Thingee!

DIY - How to Build a Skateboard-Windsurfer Thingee!

I have always been fond of different windsurfing gadgets people bring to have fun over at Ocean Beach, here’s how to make your own skateboard-turned-windsurf thingee.

If this goes on sand, I might build one.

Here’s my contribution to the movement, a land windsurfer with a 3.6 meter lugsail.

It sails just exactly like a regular windsurfer. Sail tuning is a little different, due to having four corners to adjust rather than the old three. Study up on lugsail tuning.

Here’s a cool recycled record case that you can store your good ol’ records in.

Designed with vintage record carrying cases in mind, with a new twist, this handmade box holds somewhere between thirty and forty seven-inch vinyl records - or whatever else you may want to store or take with you. Enjoy storing your records within a box made of records! What, no records to store you say? It would make a cool and truly unique purse as well.

Solar Powered Glowing Flower Pot!

Posted in Consumer, Cool, Earth, Gadgets, Solar, lights by max on the June 22nd, 2008 at 11:29 am

Solar Powered Glowing Flower Pot!

Wow, check out this awesome solar powered glowing flower pot that conserves the sun’s energy during the day and glow the pot itself at night.  This might be useful at replacing those outdoor lights with a double-whammy pot/light.

The length of time the pot glows is dependent on the amount of sunlight the solar panel is exposed to during the day, but in the UK you’re looking at about 6-8 hours in the summer and 2-4 hours in the winter - more than enough for your average evening garden soiree.

Dog MP3 is cute!

The Dog MP3 does not look like a dog.  Instead, it looks like a fluffy cloud with eyes and green tentacles.

Neverthless, it looks cute and this MP3 might just do good for your girlfriend’s birthday.

Bulbcap for Naked Bulbs!

Can’t afford a real lamp shade but you want a condom-like cover for your naked bulbs?

Well, you can always get the Bulbcap for that. They come in different colors so…

The Bulbcap is a lampshade, slightly more than a lightbulb. The caps are directly pulled over the lightbulbs of up to 40 watts. Any wattage can work when using economical lightbulbs. The Bulbcaps can be fixed on hanging bulbs from the ceiling, or on standing lamps of any kind. Mix and match various colors to create a collage of lights!
