Discovery Space Projection Alarm Clock

October 28th, 2007 by Edwin in Cool Clocks, Electronic Gadgets, Gadget Gift Ideas, Home Gadgets

discovery-space-clock.jpgMost alarm clocks are just that - ordinary looking timepieces that blend in with the rest of your home and do not leave any lasting impression on anyone who drops by. The Discovery Space Projection Alarm Clock is different though, as it offers a fun, futuristic and scientifically stimulating method to tell the time. In short, it projects both time and space images on a ceiling or wall.

  • Choose from 3 space images – Full Moon, Starry Sky or Saturn
  • Dual projecting lenses superimpose the digital time over the space image
  • Built-in alarm clock
  • Wake to one of 3 digital spaceship sounds: “Transport,” “Ping,” or “Analyze”
  • Clock has amber LED backlight illumination
  • 9-minute snooze button
  • Date/time display
  • Memory backup
  • Manual focusing knobs
  • You can pick up this unique timepiece for $29.95.

    Shooting Cubicle Alarm System

    October 26th, 2007 by Edwin in Electronic Gadgets, Gadget Gift Ideas, Office Gadgets

    The Shooting Cubicle Alarm System adds a level of pro-activity to whoever sneaks around your cubicle whenever you’re absent in body.

    Each unit has an ever-watchful motion sensor. The first line of defense is lovingly referred to as Alarm 1. When Alarm 1 is tripped two very important things happen. First, it flashes and klaxons to signal an intrusion. But (and this is the kicker) it also arms Alarms 2 and 3 using invisible wireless signals. Alarm 2 also has an audible alarm, but it is louder than Alarm 1. It also will spot the varmint with a red light beam. Alarm 3 is the coolest; when it is tripped two safe (but surprising) missiles will be launched at the now-fleeing interloper. You valuables will be safe, your cubicle will be secure, and your foe will be embarrassed enough to leave your stapler alone for good!

    Just make sure that all seven AAA batteries required to power the Shooting Cubicle Alarm System are adequately juiced up. You can pick up one of these for $39.99 from ThinkGeek.

    Auto Wrench - The Electronic Adjustable Spanner

    October 24th, 2007 by Al in DIY Gadgets, Electronic Gadgets, Gadget Gift Ideas, Home Gadgets

    AutoWrench

    Manual wenches are so yesteryear, with the autowrench you still have to use a bit of manual elbow grease to do the loosening or tightening, however it can automatically resize the jaws to fit the nut.

    The area where this wrench really shines is in hard-to-reach spots where mobility is obscured, such as under sinks. A typical situation where the Auto Wrench would help might be one in which you’re awkwardly reaching for a nut underneath the kitchen faucet. With a comparable manual wrench, it’s conceivable you would fumble around with the adjusting mechanism for minutes on end, and then toss a fit. With the Auto Wrench, you’d simply press a button (positioned where you rest your thumb) and the jaws would open or close to your specifications.

    We were a bit sceptical when we learned the Auto Wrench takes AA batteries and doesn’t include a rechargeable battery. This means you’ll need to keep some extra batteries around the house – or buy some rechargeable batteries — if you use it frequently. However, the wrench isn’t a power hog by any means. Black & Decker says you can get 650 cycles out of two AA batteries, which should be plenty for most people.

    The Auto Wrench is for sale at Amazon for $28.40.
