Some parents are just not satisfied with the standard audio-only baby monitors, or even the ones with the ability to “talk” to the baby, no, they need more, namely the Wireless Color Baby Monitor.
That’s right, you get to watch your baby either cry or sleep on a 1.5 inch color LCD. Now, what if the lights are turned off? Once the lens detects darkness it switches over to infrared mode and displays a black and white picture.

Those who are blessed enough to have a man-made pond at home find it very soothing and often listen to the sounds of an artificial, babbling brook to smooth out the day’s crumples and stress. If you do not have the living space nor the finance to build such a pond in your backyard, why not pick up the Pet Drinking Fountain instead? All you need to do is to get a dog or a cat to keep you company, and you’re good to go.
I’m a big fan of take-aways (which is likely the cause for me being mid diet, well that and beer), so these next two gadgets took my fancy.
First off is the Pizza Fork, it has all the poking functionality of a standard fork but incorporates a pizza cutting wheel, simply roll over the pizza to cut off a mouth sized portion (or you could just fold it and cram). The Pizza fork is available from Stupidiotic Productions (funny that).
The second gadget eating utensil is the knife and fork chopsticks. These chopsticks are designed especially for people like me who can’t eat quick enough with chopsticks and end up spreading the food all over the table. With these 
chopsticks when you get bored of playing with your food, simply turn them over and eat normally.
The knife and fork chop sticks are available from Cooking Enthusiast.
You know the scenario; you’ve just wiped over the kitchen work surfaces and have swept a mass of crud and crumbs into your hand. All you need to do now is open the dustbin lid and deposit said crud into the trash. Aarrgg! On opening the bin, you’ve now lost most of the muck onto the floor and all around the bin. Much cursing then begins as you re-start the process of cleaning up the crud off the floor!
Well, help is now at hand (pardon the pun!) with the automatic Hands Off Garbage Can. The bin is fitted with an Artificial Intelligence (AI) smart-chip which opens the lid on sensing your approach. Therefore no need to juggle with hands full of trash anymore.

When ever my electric razor runs out of charge (I should take notice of the lights more) I have to resort to a manual wet shave. The only way I know of to see if the razor is sharp is to drag it across my face and see if I feel a tearing sensation. Well there is now a technical solution to my painful problem, the Shave Saver Digital Shave Counter.
The Shave Saver Digital Shave Counter does exactly what it says it counts how many times you’ve used your razor so you know when it’s time to bin it and clip a new head on.
The Shave Saver costs $19.99 and comes complete with a “Spacious Canvas Travel Bag” (wow!) and a month’s supply of shaving gel. Available from Shave Saver via Book of Joe.
YouTube user Matt Coats has found the perfect toy for his pet cat named Robot… the only problem is it costs about $1000 and it’s his MacBook laptop.
Not only is the MacBook very warm and the perfect place to take a little catnap, but it can also provide hours of entertainmnet thanks to Apple’s media center application called Front Row.
Matt setup a camera and put his MacBook on the floor. You can check out the video here on YouTube.
Let’s hope Matt got Robot declawed or invested in some scratch proof screen protectors.
It is Monday, and there is nothing quite like starting the day off with a hot cup of freshly brewed coffee as you get back to the gruelling weekly torture ritual we call work. Why not use technology to your advantage by purchasing the Melitta ME1MSB Smart Brew coffee making machine? This nifty smart device does not only mix a mean cup of coffee, the Melitta Smart Brew is also capable of telling you region specific weather thanks to the LCD display, courtesy of MSN Direct. Since the information is transferred over via FM signal, there is no need for you to pull another line into the pantry just to know whether the evening weather is suitable for a round of golf.
When it comes to cooking I’m a bit impatient and always cook on maximum heat assuming it will cook faster. I get bored very quickly when it comes to stirring, which tends to mean half my meal is welded to the bottom of the pan. This contraption could be the answer to us lazy blokes, the Stir Chef.
The Stir Chef attaches to the top of a pan and can be programmed to do continual or occasional stirs. So I now have another solution to avoid pan destruction, though it doesn’t beat my preferred solution of pizza menu and phone :).
The Stir Chef is available from Dynamic Living. Thanks to sbarber77 from our forums for the suggestion.
