Last Chance for Memorial Day Partying
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Home Entertainment, Smart Home, Misc. Tech,
The Lynx Cocktail-Pro Beverage Center is more than just your average wet bar. Not only is the ice bin insulated and covered, bottle boots keep wine, juice, and drink mixes chilled. The stainless steel sink features a water filtration system, and there is a built in bottle opener with cap catcher, a drain board and slide-away cutting board, 2 fold-down shelves which are removable and reversible to become serving trays, and casters for mobility. You have to really enjoy playing bartender with this one because its MSRP is $2,423.00 on Homeclick.

Terra Cotta Barbecue Slow Cooks
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Home Entertainment, Smart Home, Misc. Tech,
If you still haven’t gotten that new barbecue for the upcoming Memorial Day Weekend, how about a European wood-fired oven? Fill it with hard or fruit wood and heat will build slowly in its 22-inch internal chamber, which allows even cooking throughout its outer shell. Handmade in Portugal, the oven is 25-inches tall, (59-inches with stand,) and weighs a storm defying 350 lbs.
At a base cost of $2,000, if you opt for the White Glove Service, they will not only assemble the Terra Cotta Oven for you at your place, they won’t charge you for shipping and handling. Although the company claims that it even makes great pizza, we think we should initiate its use with a meal of Tandoori chicken.

See Spot eat all by himself. This automatic pet feeder contains 3 compartments for food which are programmable for 8, 12, or 24 hour interval openings. With a 355mm base and a 275mm tray diameter, it dismantles for easy cleaning, has a LED low-power indicator, and runs on 4 C batteries (not included.) You can also make a 20 second recording of your voice for its speaker to call your pet, but we are thinking that knowing the way dogs’ minds work, it might be more useful to record our cat chowing down on his kibble. Available at Wild Electronics, it carries a MSRP of $31.95.

This has to be a better alternative to a cold shower in the a.m. We managed to find another retro gadget, but this one actually does more than pop. Set the Flying Alarm Clock just like any other, but be prepared really awaken tomorrow morning. When the alarm chimes, the propeller takes flight. The noise continues until you find the wretched toy, which could be anywhere in your bedroom, and return it to its launch pad. The Flying Alarm Clock is available from our buds at stupid for only $21.99.
(Thanks, Bob)

Customize your Home Phone’s Ring with Magic Ringtone
Posted by Lolita Beckwith Categories: Accessories, Smart Home, Music,
So we told you about Horntones, which allows you to change your car’s horn to any sound or song in MP3 format. Sounds fun but potentially dangerous and chaotic. Here’s something similar but a lot safer: a device called Magic Ringtone allows you to change your home phone’s ring to that of any MP3 sound. Just transfer the file from your PC to the device via USB, then attach your landline phone. Now instead of an generic ring, you can choose a babbling brook or a babbling Britney to alert you of incoming calls. We especially love the low cost of $12 USD, but apparently so does everyone else, as the Magic Ringtone is currently sold out. Stay tuned…

Make Your Bathroom Sing with the iCarta iPod Toilet Paper Holder
Posted by Lolita Beckwith Categories: Accessories, Smart Home, Music, Portable Audio / Video,
We have another entry in the sometimes wacky world of iPod docks and holders. They’ve invaded our bedrooms, closets, cubicles, backyards...and now the bathroom. Yes, we’re talking about the iCarta Toilet Paper Holder, which holds, charges and plays your iPod while you do your thing. The dock is moisture-resistant, but somehow we don’t think the iPod is, so be careful if taking a hot shower. The iCarta has four stereo speakers, includes an AC adaptor, measures 8x4x5”, and can be used with all iPods with dock connectors. Available for $70 USD, iPod and toilet paper not included.

Here’s a handy household gadget, perfect for families: the Fridge Message Magnet.

No more post-its or messy whiteboards—just the facts, mom. The buttons also function as picture frames for extra cuteness. A set of two will be available next month for $20 USD.

Soap Pump is Made By and For Simple Humans
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Smart Home, Misc. Tech,
Soap distresses me. I either drop it or when I pump it, it gets in an xtra half-pump, so that when I try to clean it up, it costs me a twenty minute cleanfest. Simplehuman has created a remarkable gadget for this human who likes it simple. The Sensor Soap Pump automatically dispenses in one of 4 settings so that you can control its flow, or hold down the continous button for those bigger messes. Battery operated by 4 AAs (not included,) it is easily refillable, and also features an optional LED timer to remind you how long it takes to be germ-free. The Pump is available for $39.95 at simplehuman.
