If you’re going to lay out $400 for a Christmas tree this year, why not buy a tree with LED lights that can light wirelessly? It’s an exciting technology. Nearly a hundred years ago, Nikola Tesla envisoned a world where power could be broadcasted all around the world. And now, coupling low power LED technology with RF frequency technology is bringing a smaller scale version of that vision to the holidays.
In case you hadn’t noticed, Summer is long gone. However, when it’s sunny and warm out, I like to take my laptop outside and try to do my work in the outdoors. It’s a great change of pace from sitting in my office every day. The only problem is that when my laptop is feeding off of the WiFi access, my battery tends to run down a little faster than I’d like, and park benches never seem to have power outlets. Wouldn’t it be great if you could get your juice from the sun’s rays?
It’s that time of year. Where people spend hours setting up all the outdoor holiday lights to create a light display that could signal alien ships currently circling around Neptune to come land on their front lawns. The lights are festive and create a great atmosphere for the holiday season, however, the downside is your increased electric bill for the month of December.
The folks over at X-TremeGeek offer a product that will help ease the pain of your electrical bill: The Solar-Powered 102 LED Light Strand. This nifty little product charges during the day using a solar panel and then shines all throughout the night using a light sensitive switch that turns the LEDs on only when it’s dark. This is so handy as you won’t have to remember to turn your lights on or off. Read the rest of this entry »
Every bachelor has the bar fantasy for their bachelor pad. Pool table, big screen TV with NFL Sunday Ticket, Girls dressed in Dolphin shorts serving up brewskies, and that flashing neon sign that says “Joe’s Place.” Well, the DYI Neon sign can’t help you with the Dolphin dressed drink servers, but it does allow for the creation of custom neon signs at a very affordable price.
There is one problem that plagues all mobile technology: battery life. Sure, some gadgets will last through many hours of use, but with most you are limited to a significantly shorter time. This is why I’m happy to see companies such as Iqua implementing alternative energy sources into their mobile products. Take their Sun Bluetooth headset for example.

I’m not certain why anyone might want this product, but perhaps it has something to do with our constant need for comfort. Toshiba has come up with a toilet seat that really is the ultimate in luxury for those who want it in the place where it might not be.
There is much to be said for this, like its use as a warm water bidet. I presume that it has something to do with our need to have our butts doused with warm water after we use the sit-down feature. Speaking of sitting down, the seat is heated. That is good, because generally that porcelain is a little freezing from time to time, even with the heat up at full blast in the bathroom.

It draws absolutely no power while in standby mode. That’s the design of a line of Fujitsu Siemens computer monitors . The prototype 22 inch monitor was recently showcased at a press event in Augsburg, Germany, and utilizes a special relay designed to cut off the main power when the monitor’s video stream goes into standby mode, the electricity is then channeled into the monitor’s built in capacitors, which charge and store the energy to immediately turn back on when the computer goes active again.
