The Mesh Frying Pan makes the ideal addition to any griller's arsenal.
The thing about using a pan on the grill is that it blocks the smokey goodness and char from being placed on veggies, unless you place them directly on the grill. But if the veggies are sliced thinly, like with fajitas style veggies, more goodness can end up in the charcoal along with the veggies that slip through the grill. Not so, if you have a Mesh Fry Pan.
Making an attempt to be a little more eco-friendly isn’t always the easiest. Especially if you’re not overly into it, you’re just willing to pop in those energy saving bulbs when you can and shut off appliances and lights when you’re not in the room. While it’s great that you shut off the TV when it’s not in use, that still leaves the gaming consoles and DVD player up and running. With those type things they usually have lights that stay on even when it’s on standby. Well this handy gadget would help you to make sure all of that shuts down too.
When Canon isn’t making a virtual reality dinosaur exhibit, they have other things to do, like making printers. In fact, they have made three new printers.
The PIXMA MP560 has duplex printing, photo correction, and Wi-Fi. There is also a USB port for printing directly from external storage. For example, it can do 4 by 6 inch prints in grayscale at a rate of 9.2 images a minute and 6 images per minute in color.
The MP490 (pictured) has a 1.8-inch LCD screen and memory card slots. It is also good for printing photos, and has Auto Photo Fix II software built directly into it. It can deliver 4800 x 1200 maximum color dpi, as well as very fine monochromatic prints as well.
The last is the SELPHY CP790 Compact Photo Printer that can hold the paper and ink cassettes, as well as the AC adapter, cable, and optional battery pack. It is made for printing photos on the go, and has built-in creative options like frames, calendars, and other things for that personal touch. It comes with a 3-inch LCD screen to maximize on photo viewing.
Imagine a museum that is nothing more than a blank room. Not much to see, is it? However, if you put on a pair of virtual reality glasses, a whole new world opens up to you. A world that is full of dinosaurs who roam freely.
This is part of a new exhibit in Chiba, Japan. Visitors have the opportunity to walk with the dinosaurs, as their virtual reality glasses project these creatures of old in three-dimensions right before the viewer. For the record, I think the technical name for this type of entertainment is augmented reality, not virtual reality.
This is probably one of the most well thought out USB hubs I’ve seen. A lot of desks come with holes built into them so that you can run cords through it. Well this hub fits neatly into that hole, so it doesn’t take up any extra space on your desk. It would be a little more tricky to run cords through that hole, that’s really the only down side of the hub sitting there. However, if you don’t use it or you’re willing to take the extra time to get the cords and the hub to work together it’d work out just fine.
Since this does sit down directly into your desk that also means one less cord you have running across the surface. The USB cord for the hub just drops directly below it, so that it can conveniently be plugged into your computer. This is made for a 2” round grommet hole, so you can measure to make sure this will work alright. It has 4 different ports for your USB devices. You can purchase the hub for $12 from USB Geek.

I remember when I was a kid, I used to love to look at pictures of The Blue Flame and the Budweiser Rocket. They looked more like rockets than cars, and broke several land speed records.
It would appear that someone has put this speed in miniature remote control form with the Picket Rocket, which is most likely the world’s fastest RC car at 161 miles per hour. Designer Nic Case wants to increase that speed to 200 miles per hour.
A 200 mile-an-hour remote control car? What’s next, an RC vehicle capable of a sonic boom? Man, you had better be in the desert when you are playing with this toy! I mean, this thing uses an RC helicopter-style gyro to help with steering.
Now that the iPhone has video capability with the 3GS, there will undoubtedly be many iPhone-filmed videos on the many video-sharing sites on the Web.
Of course, why would you want to shoot videos on a cellular phone? I’m sure you have seen how jittery they are. This is why a startup company known as OWLE (Optical Widgets for Life Enhancement) has created a mount for the iPhone designed for filming.
I don’t know about you, but I think its shape resembles a controller for the Xbox 360. Not only does the OWLE steady your shots, but it also improves recording quality by including a 37mm camcorder lens with a front facing microphone.
Take a gander at Project Nomad, a wonderful and artificial horse. As you can see, it looks like a four-legged version of Bumblebee from Transformers.
When I saw this one, I knew it was too good to be true. Sure enough, it is still a concept, but the fact that Jason Battersby saw it fit to put it on paper is a step in the right direction for making all our dreams of riding a robot horse come true.
I’m sure that readers who follow my work know that I love to cover concept tech like this, especially when it seems so futuristic that it could never be built in my lifetime. This one has a very unbelievable feature: a GPS that knows where the plant life is. Project Nomad then eats up the vegetation, and uses it for fuel.
