This gadget is just too cool. It’s a contraption that lets you move in the water when you can’t be bothered to swim really, and that’s the kind of gadget I like.
When you’ve been swimming in the sea on holiday and your tired and want to relax and cool down, use the Seaboo to slowly glide across or under the water with no effort at all. Since it only moves at 2mph, don’t expect to get anywhere fast!

Magellan is widely known for its maps, however they also make a wide range of travel supplies, one of these being the Pack-A-Cone.
The Pack-A-Cone is a collapsible traffic cone. When in use, the cone is 16 inches tall, but when in its collapsed form, it is only 2 inches thick and measures 9.5 by 9.5 inches. With those dimensions, it’s easy to store this device in your trunk, glove compartment, under your seat, or about any free spot in your car.
According to Magellan’s website, about 40% of all auto accidents occur when visibility is low, making the Pack-A-Cone’s LED flasher a powerful safety device. The flasher is powered by three triple A batteries, which will run the unit for about 300 hours before needing to be replaced. Batteries are included with the unit. Another use for the flasher would be stick them on deer, so often they dart across roads unseen, wouldn’t it be useful to see them coming from off in the woods.
The unit is constructed of nylon and polyester with a solid polyethylene base, so it should last you awhile. The Pack-A-Cone is available from Magellan’s for about $25 each. Breaking down is always be dangerous, incoming cars may not see you, and having your Pack-A-Cone handy will benefit everybody.
What is it about new cars and scuffs? Try as you might to keep that precious vehicle pristine and scratch-free something always seems to happen and mysterious dings show up. Even when you can prevent people from harming your new car nature herself may conspire against you. My father had just bought a new Toyota and was visiting my house in Dallas when we had a freak hailstorm appear from a clear blue sky that produced golf ball sized hail. BMW has introduced a device to aid in this quest for vehicular perfection – a car which can park itself without a scratch, even in the tightest spot in your garage.
This has got to be the craziest transportation we’ve reported on at CG, a ride-able robot. It might be 3 years old but it still looks like a robot from the future.
The robot named R7 was invented by a Korean company who invent and manufacture robots purely for fun, which must be a great company to work for. You can buy the robot walker for $5,250 but don’t be surprised if you got a few strange looks if you take it (or it takes you) to the shops.
If you understand Korean you can find more info here, found via Born Rich.

If that’s not enough to frighten your domesticated animals, here’s one more gadget that’s bound to test their nerves!
Frequent oil changes are essential to the long term health of any car, and this gadget should be on the wish list of anyone who wants to save money by doing their own oil changes.
If you’ve ever done a DIY oil change the old-fashioned way, I’m sure you’ll know how it goes. You’ll get dirty, probably burn yourself on the exhaust manifold, and finally get your hands and wrists covered in oil, when at last you manage to get the drain plug off!
This is part three of our how to change a tire the gadget way series. We’ve had the tire condom (to keep clean), the electric car jack (to conserve energy) and now we have the digital tire pressure gauge. Read the rest of this entry »
This is apparently the world’s first voice-activated car navigational system from Novogo.
What a cool idea, mainly because it reminded me of one of Ozzy Ozbourne’s MTV shows when he tried to use his voice-activated telephone fitted to his new BMW. Not surprisingly, the telephone didn’t understand his broad Midlands accent and kept asking him to clarify his slurred commands. Ozzy has no luck with gadgets, and despite repeated efforts to control the telephone with a voice command, he eventually got fed up and told the thing to **** off – which it did understand!
