Coolest Gadgets Goes Tailgating
Posted in: Today's Chili
Football season is here! College kicked off, NFL follows suit this week. And you need to ensure that you are properly prepared for tailgating. So whether in the stadium parking lot or in your own driveway get your gadget on with these football must haves.
You Grill, iGrill®, We All Grill
You are dubbed the grill master at this week’s game. Bummer, now you must remain near the grill, keeping a constant eye on the burgers and dogs. Sort of ruins the afternoon. Why let it interfere with playing touch football or chatting up that cute blonde? Let iGrill be your sous chef.
iGrill by iDevice, provides a dual probe, easy to read thermometer. This durable tailgate must can be used as a stand-alone device. But if that isn’t enough then download the iGrill app from the iTunes store. Using Bluetooth the iGrill can then communicate with your app and clue you in when your meat is ready. With a 200 foot range there is plenty of room to escape the grill but not overcook the protein. Alert yourself when a temperature or time is reached. The app includes multiple views to cover each probe, and even recipes. Via Amazon, the $79.95 investment seems small in comparison to the amount of meat you could burn without this gauge.
Hone Your Bartending Knowledge
Tailgaters and tailgate parties are always on a quest for the drink of the day. This handy deck of coasters will keep you and your bartender inspired. Cocktail Challenge provides a set of 30 mats with different cocktails. Drinks vary in difficulty, class, amount of alcohol and number of ingredients. Use them for inspiration. Or if your bar is fully stocked use it as a game. See who can create the tastiest, classiest (or most classless) concoction. For just £7.50 at Suck UK, they provide easy inspiration for your cocktail of the day or to pose a challenge to any novice bartender.
Ultimate Beer Pong Set
Sure you may have a classic beer pong table with your team’s logo emblazoned on it for your tailgate parties. But do you have the proper gaming equipment? Face it, a long game of beer pong makes for warm beer on a warm afternoon. Yuck. The N-Ice Rack Freezable Beer Pong Rack Set is the perfect companion to your beer pong table. Included are two fillable and sealable racks. Fill the racks with water, freeze and you are armed for the day. The glasses you place on it will have a nice chill below them. Also included are 3 balls. And all of this is just $26.34 on Amazon. So don’t forget to keep your penalty beers cold!
Tunes for the Tailgate
No tailgate party is complete without music. Whether socializing or throwing the football around, tunes help set the mood. But no one really wants to lug speakers around or find power. And you certainly don’t want to be outdone by the party next to you. So the best Portable Indoor/Outdoor Wireless Speaker provides a perfect solution. Not only will it put up with the elements, it will wirelessly play for 10 hours (3 hour charge). Using a 41 channel transmitter and radio band to find your signal source transmitter, it will never find interference from other devices. The 480’ range means you can leave your transmitter and music player in the car or your pocket. And the digital amplifier and down firing subwoofer will give you the best sound in the parking lot. Though $699.95, Hammacher Schlemmer’s testing and backing confirm the quality sound and performance of the speaker. Rest assured, with this unit your tailgate will have the best tunes at the game.

I am not quite sure just how many of you out there still carry your music around – no, let me rephrase, have a collection of music in cassette form since the humble cassette-based Sony Walkmans have all but died for a long, long time already (in technology’s timeframe, time is relatively short). Well, assuming you have some old classics that have yet to make their way to the digital format even after you have spent years scouring the Internet for it (without any CDs available, either), there is some hope left.
If you happen to be a frequent shopper at Walmart, and more or less know everything that America’s superstore carries by heart, then you would notice that from next month onwards, there is a brand new version of the Sony Walkman W Series. I am referring to the Meb Keflezighi edition of this particular Walkman family, as it was developed in conjunction with Meb Keflezighi’s 4th place finish in the recently concluded 2012 Olympic marathon. What’s so special about the Meb Keflezighi edition Sony Walkman W Series? Read on to find out!
When the iPhone and the iPod touch were first introduced to the masses half a decade ago, many people figured out that the iPod touch was the iPhone – sans the phone part, of course. Well, the iPhone went on to be a huge success around the globe since then, and the iPod touch, well, it continued to reign as the top portable media player in the market, but over time, you could be sure that smartphones took over the portable media player’s mantle as a to-go entertainment device of choice for the masses. Well, if you happen to own an iPod touch, how about giving it a new lease of life with Dexterity’s MorphCase? This unique case is capable of transforming the humble iPod touch into a Wi-Fi mobile phone – and you do not even need a headset or a Bluetooth device to boot. Let us see how this is achieved in the extended post.
Do you remember the singer Shaggy with his mega hit many years ago, Mr. Bombastic? Well, that certainly set off a trend in speak-nging (speaking/singing, you heard it here first!), and I guess that “better late than never” applies to the 
Don’t you think that the boombox is so 1980s? Well, if you happen to think along that train of thought, and figured out that the new millennium obviously needs something far more powerful when you want to share your favorite rockin’ tunes (or if you want to carry out a flash mob somewhere with wicked dance moves), then you would obviously need some sort of highly portable and yet powerful audio system.
There is nothing quite like a pair of high quality cans to gety our blood pumping with the right kind of music, no? I guess you would not be too far off the mark with the
