Christmas outdoor lighting can get out of control sometimes. Save a buck on your electricity bill and do something good for the nature with those solar powered Christmas lights.

Unlike standard outdoor holiday lights that must be tethered to an electric source, these solar powered lights can be strung anywhere in your yard. A small solar panel stakes into the ground up to 7′ away from the light strand and powers 102 bright LEDs for up to nine hours after an eight-hour charge. Seven different light patterns dance along the strand in succession, or you can select your favorite sequence to flash continuously or have the lights provide steady illumination with the touch of a button. The solar panel gathers moderate or direct sunlight during the daytime and automatically turns the lights on at dusk and off at dawn. The 32′ 9"-long strand provides enough slack to adorn trees, railings, or lampposts. The LEDs are rated for 10,000 hours of operation.

An other little gadget I don’t recommend to take while traveling by plane. Security might freak on you.

Pull the plug and lob your old flash drive out your window (preferably after you’ve backed up the files, but who are we to tell you what to do?). Store your most valuable and portable files inside a grenade for maximum style points. Unleash that little evil part of yourself that wants to blow up your coworkers. That annoying guy three cubes down want the same files you’ve already emailed him 30 times? Pull the plug on your grenade and fling it into his cube. It won’t blow up, but at least a grenade to the head might make him reconsider the next time he wants to bug you about something…

Simple, tiny and makes it easy to share your porn youtube collection.

How does it work? It’s simple. The projector uses a lens and a mirror to reflect images from your mobile device which you insert in the tray underneath. HypnosEye works especially well with an iPhone or a Touch, but will also work with any other backlit mobile phone that allows you to adjust the brightness. But rather than use an ordinary mirror which would result in an unclear image, HypnosEye has implemented a special mirror with a reflection agent on top of the glass surface (rather than behind). As a result, you can show media from your portable device almost anywhere at anytime.

Keep your pussy busy while you are out of the house or at work. You will come back home and your fuzzy thing will be all zen.

This little device a sophisticated piece of feline-laser technology that your cat will love. It dances a laser beam dot around the floor for your cat to chase but never catch. We suppose you could call it the lazy solution to playing with your cat, but we happen to think it’s just more advanced than manually shining a laser around the room.

I don’t know what it is… but this microphone kind of grosses me out even though it’s super cool. I just can’t have anything touch my adams apple. Should add that to the RGS list of weird phobias.

What is a Throat Mic you say? Glad you asked! A Throat Mic hugs your neck and picks up sound directly from your vocal cords. This allows for two main features. You can whisper and still be heard clearly on the other end and the person you’re speaking to hears no outside sound, only your voice. Therefore a throat mic based headset is perfect to use in any noisy environment… like while laying down mortar rounds, or cruising in your convertible.

Now is your chance in case the Back to the Future Car Auction on eBay was not in your budget you can own a smaller version of that time machine.

Ok, first, the doors of the Back to the Future Lights and Sound DeLorean open. And you can fit most GI Joe and Star Wars figures inside. Then there’s a button to activate one of the 10 sound and lights combos – from the engine starting up, to the time circuits engaging, to a "return from time travel to a screeching halt"! Plus, there’s a lever on the bottom. Slide that, and the wheels (with real rubber times) rotate into flying position. We could go on and on and one about the Back to the Future Lights and Sound DeLorean, but truth be told, we’d rather play with it instead. Zartan and 4-LOM are going to visit Plato today. Vroooom . . . pchew, pchew, pchew . . . explosion . . . back in time, baby!

Fizzy milk? No problem for the CARBONATOR!

Looking for an alternative to sugary, amped up sodas? With the simple U-Fizz kit, a box of baking soda, some vinegar and a couple of soda bottles, you can carbonate almost any drink – even milk! You can experiment with any drink you like and for something really odd try some carbonated Jell-O®. It’s quick and simple to use and makes a great school science project.
