I realize that most people have their garage door openers conveniently clipped to their visor, but I don’t see why we can’t just open our doors with a cellular phone or other MID (Mobile Internet Device).

This is one of the uses for the Schlage LiNK, a system of locks and deadbolts that can be unlocked using a cellular phone or Internet connection. All a user needs to do is enter in a 4-digit access code on their device, and wireless Z-Wave technology unlocks and opens the pre-programmed doors.

Waking up can be quite a chore for some of us, but sometimes the right tunes can get us out of bed much faster compared to the traditional ringing of an alarm clock, and Memorex has stepped up to fill this need with the Mi4019 and iWakeUp) alarm clocks that feature buzzer, iPod and radio options to make rolling out of bed a much more pleasant experience.

Ever felt so much rage at home or the office that you just wanted to shoot something or someone? Well now you can take out that aggression on a proper target with the N Range indoor target range.

Yeah, that’s right, inside that beautiful armoire shown here is a target. Now you don’t have to go to the shooting range to “get your gun off”, but just open it up and shoot away. Blam! Blam! Blam!

In case you are wondering, the target is steel-backed so the bullets will not go through the armoire and through the wall. So it’s an armored armoire.

CarShield has just launched its fully self-contained CarShield device that can be plugged into any vehicle’s standard diagnostic port in order to receive real-time information analysis as well as delivery that will help the vehicle owner know the true status of their vehicle. Sounds like the perfect tool to have for the man of the house in order to ensure that all the rides there are safe for the entire family, and no longer do you have to keep on getting fleeced by the bunch of mechanics who think you don’t know any better about cars (which you actually don’t, but I digress) and can’t tell the difference from a carburetor from the air filter.

I’ve just received this email from Think Geek and as it’s full of gadgety offers thought it was worth sharing, enjoy…
