Join Open your garage door with a swipe of your finger
I must say that I miss having my own garage. In these winter months it gets quite cold, and I really hate running out to my car to get it warmed up. One of my favorite things about my old garage was the garage door openers. There was one for each car with a single button for opening and closing the door. There was also one mounted on the outside of the garage with a number pad. This one was especially handy, as when I would be working out in the lawn I could easily open the giant door without going all the way into the garage. Unfortunately, my wife never bothered to memorize the password, so she would simply ignore it and open the door from the inside. That’s why my next garage will have a smartTOUCH Garage Door Opener.

Spy Video Car – maybe Santa will bring it next year
Christmas has finally passed. While I enjoy this time of year, people tend to go crazy with their last-minute shopping. The streets are crowded and people tend to get rude in the stores. It’s these things that make me happy when the day is over. That’s not to say that I don’t love the time I spend with my family and the giving (and receiving!) of gifts. Since I’m still a child at heart, I tend to enjoy gifts that are intended for kids. It’s not uncommon to see things like LEGOs and R/C cars on my wish list. If I could go back in time, I’d probably add this car to my list.

iPod Travel Pillow
iPods are meant to be enjoyed anywhere, but what happens when you’re stuck in an airplane seat (no Business Class for you)? The iPod Travel Pillow makes it much easier on your neck in a long haul flight.
Think you can’t relax in an airplane seat? This two-way pillow makes it possible! As it supports your neck, its built-in speakers let you enjoy your favorite iPod® tunes or the audio from your DVD player—in stereo!
This nifty little device retails for $24.95. I wonder if Santa could make do with one of these considering the distance he had to travel all night long.
Keep your iPod powered on the go with iPowerRush
Rare is the occasion when I actually let my iPod’s battery to get down so low that it dies while I’m listening to it. However, those rare times that it happens are horrible.

Raise Me Up is great for removing plugs in tight spaces
If you’ve ever had to crawl behind your entertainment center to switch out a DVD player or game console, you’ll know how much of a pain it is to unplug your device. It seems like it would be a simple process, however, when you can only fit one hand back there it becomes much more difficult than if you had the use of both hands. This is because when you pull on the cord, your powerstrip has a tendency to lift up too. This is exactly why someone came up with this Raise Me Up powerstrip concept.

Simple adapter turns your SD card into an IDE drive
Flash memory is becoming cheaper every day. You can pick up a 2GB card for your camera for a little bit of nothing. With the ASUS Eee PC only having between 2GB and 8GB of storage, it makes me wonder if it wouldn’t speed up my computer considerably to get a small SSD drive for my computer, as they’re generally faster then traditional hard drives. Thanks to this cool adapter, I’ll be able to use one of my SD cards to do just that.

Heated bed keeps your pup warm and comfortable during long trips
I love my dog. He’s a Basset Hound that’s just over a year and a half old. He’s a spaz, but I love him just the same. I take good care of him, he’s got his own bed and plenty of toys to play with. Sure, I buy him new stuff now and then, but I’m not one of those people that goes overboard with their pets. You know the type, the ones that get the gourmet food, dress up their dog, and even carry around a special purse for their pup. That’s why when my dog rides in the truck with me, he sits on the seat just the same as anyone else. Other people, however, might be tempted to get them a heated bed in the back of their SUV.

Normally, I do not report on cars on this site. However, this one really got my attention. The Aptera Super-MPG Electric Typ-1 is quite a cool little number with its ability to achieve 300 miles to the gallon.
That’s right, you heard me, 300 miles to the gallon. It must have something to do with its 3 wheels or something. There are two innovative models that are already pretty much production ready, and could be open as early as next year!
