The Porta Pizza Oven. Great for RVs, bad for rush hour

If I had an RV or camper and was looking to bake a pizza or cake while camping, the Portable Pizza Oven might possibly be a good option to add to my camping gear. But if I was stuck in rush hour and was a tad hungry, using this while driving would be a recipe … for disaster.

The Porta Pizza Oven plugs into the 12 volt cigarette lighter receptacle. It has heating elements above and below for all around cooking and can handle a small cake pan or pizza. It folds out like a typical toaster oven and has two settings – high and low – for cooking and warming up.

As I said, if you’re looking for something to free up some plug space on your portable generator, and have spare counter space on your RV counter or camper, this could be a good option – just make sure you start up the engine from time to time to keep from killing the battery.

But if you’re looking for a hot food option while your commuting to work on the freeway, you may find that this oven turns your vehicle into a car-be-que by sitting on the passenger seat while operating.

Cost is $36.00 from Stupidoholic. http://www.stupidiotic.com/product_info.php?cPath=9_15&products_id=193

Hat Tip – D’Vice http://dvice.com/archives/2009/06/theres-no-way-t.php

As someone who used to bike a lot, I can tell you that it is dangerous to be out on the road. If you have ever been out there, then you know how out of place bikers feel when massive automobiles are passing on the left, and especially when they honk their horn.

The Lightlane is designed to create a bike lane where there isn’t any. It’s a pretty simple concept that uses two high visibility Diode Pumped Solid State green lasers to make a bike path on the street as the biker rides.

So now a driver can see the path projected, and, unless he or she looks too close, will treat it like at actual bike lane. Hopefully they will respond properly, and not honk their horn. Yes, I have a personal beef against drivers who honk their horn at bikers for no apparent reason. It scares the crap out of me!

If  you’re not fond of the cases that although do protect your iPod in the shower, it still requires that your iPod be near water, you might like this wireless idea.  With this you can have your music playing in the shower, all the while your iPod is tucked safely away somewhere nice and dry.  Plus for the guys there’s a fogless mirror so you can shave in the shower.   Just mount it to the shower wall and you’ll have an endless supply of music, well at least until the batteries die.

Projectors are getting pretty popular these days amongst businesses and consumers, and we are still not to the point where all of us can have a projector on our cellular phone for our video footage.

I suppose this is why the iJector was invented. All the user needs to do is stick their iPhone or iPod on the dock, and you can project them at a great brightness at up to 50 inch diagonal. The resolution has a low resolution at about 557 x 234.

It weighs in at about 120 grams and has dimensions of 195×145x96mm. The brightness level is at 20 lumens, and the lamp can stand about 30,000 hours.

Sure, digital cameras are very common, and unless some company has a camera that really stands out in some way, there is very little that distinguishes one digital camera from the other.

I suppose the “standout” feature on Pentax’s Optio W80 is that is one bad mother…shut my mouth! I’m just talking about the Optio W80! Then you should dig it, because the W80 is “shockproof”.

How shockproof? Well, this 12 Megapixel camera can withstand a drop of 3.3 feet, and can go underwater for 16 feet for up to two hours. It can also work in temperatures as low as 14 degrees Fahrenheit.

Typically when you go to grab for a portable mouse to use with your laptop, you’re staring down a very miniature item.  Even before grabbing it you know the hand cramp that is bound to follow if you have to use it for very long.  However, it’s better than nothing, so you tolerate it and grumble throughout your tasks on your laptop.  Even if you have gotten used to the discomfort, afterwards your hand usually looks the slightest bit deformed from trying to grip the tiny mouse.  Well Belkin has released a mouse that’s supposed to be quite a bit more comfortable.

This is now at the top of the list of my favorite combination gadgets.  Not only does it make an adorable USB hub, but the propeller also doubles as a fan.  All of the devices worked into the plane just look like a normal part of it.  Instead of the ports looking out of place, they look like they belong there.  Plus when your office is getting just a little too hot you can flip on the propellers and cool yourself off.

The winner of last week’s coolest gadget competition is the Babyglow.

The Babyglow has been invented by a UK Father of one called Chris Ebejer. He spent up to £700,000 and six years developing the innovative and health saving product Babyglow. The Babyglow is a unique invention which is aimed at telling you when your baby has a high temperature. The Babyglow will come in three colours and when your Babies temperature exceeds the normal temperature of 37C it will turn white. As the Baby cannot relay that they have a high temperature or feel unwell this fantastic product is made to indicate exactly that for you.

Congrats again to Tech Styling.
