If you liked the Automatic Pet Feeder, then you’d also love the easy to use Automatic Dog Watering Bowl. You can ensure that you never forget to fill your dog’s water bowl since it’s completely automatic!

The bowl holds two quarts of water at a time, and is automatically refilled whenever it gets low. The bowl is connected directly into your home’s water supply via a garden hose, so as long as you have it set up right and you have the water supply turned on.

Provided with the bowl is all the hardware that you need to mount it to the wall or floor, and it’s also perfect to keep outside. You can pick up yours for just $17.99 from Smart Home.

When I was a kid my uncle gave me a microscope. It came with a bunch of prepared slides with stuff like onion skin, squashed bugs and various other things to titillate and engage my young mind for about thirty seconds. I remember squinting through the eyepiece trying to catch a glimpse of the various fuzzy squiggles. If only the Japanese company Thanko had been around back then; I could have spent my time in the strangely educational pursuit of looking at tiny things and doing what I really wanted to do – watch T.V. The Dino-Lite digital microscope plugs into any television or your computer monitor and displays, in what could be horrifying detail, anything you choose.

The fireplace is the focal point of many a living room (unless you have a 32″ plasma TV in the corner) but in the summer months it can look pretty boring. This interesting fireplace addition (known as the Hearthfall) will make it the permanent focal point.

I don’t know about other places, but it has been very hot where I live lately. If you want a great way to beat the heat but still stay outside and enjoy your yard, an Outdoor Misting System could be just what you need.

This system cools the air around any outdoor area by shooting up a fine mist. This can cool your summer space by up to 20 degrees fahrenheit so you can comfortably enjoy a deck, patio or whatever you want.

Included in one kit is 10 feet of mist line as well as 15 feet of supply line so you don’t need to have your mist area right next to your house. If 10 feet of mist isn’t enough to cool your area down, you can buy additional kits and attach them together to create up to 100 feet of mist!

I’ve just got back from my much needed annual vacation, so thanks to Liam, Randal and Alexia (just ) for keeping the cool gadget posts flowing in my absence. Whilst on vacation I taught my 9 year old daughter how to play chess, she picked it up really quick but it would of been so much easier with these learning chess pieces.

If you thought the wood block clock was cool but find wood is not modern enough to your liking then this may be more to your taste, the Mirror Block LED clock.

It uses the same technology and offers the same features (time and programmable messages) as the Wall Mirror Clock we reported on but this one just has that extra cool factor IMO.

It’s currently only available as a special edition so costs £600.00 ouch!

This gadget is quite self-explanatory, however it’s a great idea. If you’ve ever been startled by someone coming up behind you and reading what you have on the screen, especially if it’s not something you’d like them to see , then you could benefit from a rear view mirror on your computer. It easily hooks onto your monitor so you can have eyes on the back of your head while at your workspace.

You can pick one up for just £4.45 from Ministry of Gadgets.

If we had a league table of the stupidest gadgets these would have to be very near the top, Indicatears, indicators for your ears. Read the rest of this entry »
