Rock on

The perfect air guitar – small enough to carry around.

New Shoe Twist

Posted in Technology on September 24, 2009 by Hal

I’m thinking this could be used at the Liar’s Club. I would never have guessed that this is a high heel shoe. I’ve been to Nordstrom and seen some pretty wild (and ugly) woman’s shoes, but this one beats them all for original. Made of carbon fiber and laminated with rubber and leather. Obviously, if you have to ask how much it costs, you can’t afford it.

Swiss Military Wristwatch

Posted in Technology on September 24, 2009 by Hal

I remember quite a while back I had a relatively new watch that the crystal face chipped easily. I went to replace it only to find that the replacement crystal would cost close to the same price as the watch itself.

Well, here is a watch that will hold up to anything that I could throw at it. (Even, apparently, Tannerite) Given the cost of the watch is $4400 I imagine that replacing the crystal would be quite a bit less than the cost of the watch as well if that became necessary.

Altec Lansing Mix iMT800

This may possibly be the one boom box to rule them all. With an iPod dock and the ability to connect up to 3 MP3 players you can play DJ with this boom box. It has a built-in subwoofer to belt out the low bass without distortion. High power and it even has a remote. Crank this one up at kick boxing and everyone better know the routine because they aren’t going to hear Janet call it out! It’s PC Magazine’s Editor’s Choice.

I went and got my toe nails painted a pretty color brown.

OK I'm not a hand/foot model but they work just fine

I have started a diet and now things look different.

Luckily I'm not that flexible.

Brett’s Birthday Dinner

Posted in Family on September 22, 2009 by Janet

So Brett is over a quarter of a century.  We went to Dal Rae for dinner. It is a steak house that is stuck in the 50s (except for the prices). The food is wonderful. They did have prime rib and salmon at retro prices. It’s so classy that guy in a suit comes and makes the salad at the table.

Ninja Kunai USB Drive

Posted in Technology on September 22, 2009 by Hal

I have been trying to come up with some new marketing for Nettechs to drum up more business. Maybe some type of hook like Best Buy has the black and white beetles. Well, I saw this and thought, hey, we could be the Nettechs Ninjas! Instead of a white shirt and tie we would wear ninja outfits. When arriving at the client site we could whip out our Ninja USB drive to slay their computer problems! …. Or not…

Automatic Pancake Machine

Posted in Technology on September 19, 2009 by Hal

When I saw this my first thought was that the scouts could sure use one of these on the 4th of July for the pancake breakfast! Got a large family to feed each morning before school? No problem, this baby can make about 200 pancakes an hour! Apparently it’s even easy to clean! What could be better on a cold morning?

BMW Scooter

Posted in Technology on September 17, 2009 by Hal

It may not beat your a BMW M3 off the line but it also costs a lot less and doesn’t need gas. This all electric BMW scooter will reportedly go up to 155 miles on a charge and has a top speed of 75 MPH. I’ve got to say, after seeing this, I am so over the Segway!

Orange Solar Tent

Posted in Emergency Preparedness on September 17, 2009 by Hal

Featuring photovoltaic fabric panels up top, an LCD display for keeping an eye on battery levels, a wireless charging pouch (like Palm’s Touchstone but, you know, a pouch), a heating element embedded in the tent’s groundsheet, the ability to light up if you should get lost, and WiFi connectivity, this bad boy could conceivably get even Dustin and Chiemi camping! Too bad it’s only a concept.
