Neuton has released the CE 6.2 Mower. The energy conscious company’s product has a removable, rechargeable battery that will run about an hour on an 8 hr. charge. The cost of recharging is only about a dime, a price that puts a gallon of gas to shame. The lawnmower cuts a 19-inch path with 360 watt-hours of energy. At the end of the summer, fold up its handlebars and stow it in a closet or under a table. The CE 6.2 comes with a collection bag, a side discharge chute, a mulching plug, a battery charger, and safety key. The price is $449.00 for a tool that should pay for itself in about a season.

Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Design, Home Entertainment, Smart Home, Movies, Music, Video Games,
Bedrooms can’t get any better than this. The Hi-Can (High Fidelity Canopy) system starts with a high tech canopy bed. Italian designer Edoardo Carlino added a hi-fi sound system that supports MP3 audio and an integrated video projection that can be used as a computer monitor or TV for watching or video game play. Although it is still at the prototype stage, Deta will be releasing the system. See the Hi-can site for more “gimme” images.

Wilmington Goes All-DTV Early
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: HDTV, Home Entertainment, Smart Home,
Wilmington, North Carolina volunteered to be the very first U.S. market to change to digital-only television broadcasting. While the rest of us have to wait until February, the lucky city’s Mayor Bill Saffo and FCC’s Michael Copps pulled a pseudo switch to mark the event. More than 69,000 coupons for 37,500 households in the Wilmington market were requested. Those who didn’t purchase the ATCS tuners will see a crawl at the bottom of their screen with a toll-free number to get with the plan.
Mayor Saffo said, “If nobody calls, it doesn’t mean there wasn’t a problem. And if a thousand people call it doesn’t mean this wasn’t a success. Because success is ultimately going to be measured by what we’ve learned and can put in place to do next February.”

Homer Simpson Wall Clock
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Home Entertainment, Smart Home, Misc. Tech,
Watch Homer watch the Duff with the Simpson’s Wall Clock. Officially licensed, the clock is about 9.5-inches in diameter and needs 1 AA battery to run (not included.) While we find the timepiece moderately amusing, we would have preferred that instead of simply rolling his eyes, he drooled a bit and, when the minute hand reached 12, moaned “Beer..” With a 1 year warranty, the Homer Clock is available at your local Quicky Mart or online for £12.95 (~$25.25.)

SunTable Solar Charger
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Design, Smart Home, Misc. Tech, Storage,
The SunTable automatically stores back-up energy of laptops, cell phones, MP3 players, small appliances, and other electronic devices. The silicon solar cells charge the battery for about 4 hours for a laptop. It has volt and hour meters and a 12V DC output. Add its inverter and you have an extra outlet. Made of moisture-resistant teak, stainless steel, aluminum, fiberglass, and acrylic, there are no moving parts and it ships flat. And should it ever wear out, you can recycle it. At a size of 18 x 31 x 54-inches, it was created by Devang A. Shah and Mike Low and is priced at $2,200.00. For that price we wish it would give us a suntan, too.
