Hasta La Gadget!

Just about everyone and their aunt owns a smartphone these days, and you know for sure that the vehicles in which you ride in day-to-day, too, are getting smarter. Homes have also been outfitted with their fair share of technology and devices to be smart in their own right, so why not make sure that the insides of your home too, would be able to live up to its technological billing on the outside? Enter the AwoX StriimLight B-10 LED light bulb which will not only bring light to your home, but it also comes with a built-in Bluetooth speaker which makes it a snap to play back digital music wherever it is installed in your home, making it a simple “smart home” upgrade, so to speak.

The AwoX StriimLight B-10 LED light bulb is a long life, energy efficient bulb that is so easy to install, all you need to do would be to screw it into current lamp sockets and hooking it up to Bluetooth-enabled devices including the likes of smartphones, laptops and tablets. After pairing it to the StriimLight, you will be able to make use of your Bluetooth-enabled device to stream music and control your tracks.

The hardware manufacturers have done their bit to throw in an included IR remote control which will be able to turn the light on and off, where it can also be used to adjust the volume of your music to a level that you desire. This quick set up scheme makes it a snap for anyone to integrate sound anywhere there’s a light, all without having to go through the hassle of pulling wires, or requiring one to make changes to the decor. It would be as simple as screwing it in, flicking on the switch, and play the music of your choice. It gives out a warm white color and will be available from January 2014 onward at $99 a pop.

Have you watched The Desolation of Smaug over on the silver screen just yet? If you have not done so already, perhaps it would be good to go get a ticket this weekend and enjoy the movie, although some have said that it is three shows too long. We shall let you judge for yourself, and the entire movie viewing experience would be enhanced if you could bring in the $159.99 Hobbit Staff of Gandalf FX Replica with you. Can’t you hear Gandalf’s own booming voice, saying, “You shall not pass!”? As in, pass up the chance to own this staff, of course.

The Hobbit Staff of Gandalf FX Replica, as its name suggests, is a full size, authentic illuminating prop replica of Gandalf’s Staff, measuring 73” in height and tipping the scales at 6lbs. It will feature an On/Off switch to control the light, so you know right from the get go that this has absolutely nothing to do with magic at all. Do bear in mind that this is a full size, authentic illuminating prop replica that is also part of the officially licensed The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey collectible collection. It will run on a trio of AAA batteries in order to power its LED lighting.

Being on the receiving end of a flat tire is no fun at all, especially when you consider that you are already running on a tight schedule, and have to roll up your sleeves to do the “manly” thing of keeping the tire inflated. A foot pump would just about take forever, not to mention giving you a really good workout. This is where a machine or tool would come in handy, and the $89.95 Automatic Cordless Tire Inflator would be able to get the job done.

The Automatic Cordless Tire Inflator, as its name suggests, is touted to be the only cordless inflator which will be able to shut itself off automatically, at the right moment when it arrives at the correct tire pressure that you have set it to beforehand. It works great to deliver the perfect level of inflation during daytime as well as nighttime roadside emergencies, where the latter is made possible thanks to an integrated LED which illuminates the tire valves. The presence of its built-in digital pressure gauge will be able to show off psi, kpi, or bar, where it will also even be more than capable to the task of inflating larger SUV tires. With a flexible 5″-long air hose that arrives tipped with a thread connector, it can ensure a proper seal with valves and the two included recreation ball and inflatable toy adapters. It works in pretty much the same way as a cordless drill, which is more or less dummy-proof.

Whether you have a labor-intensive job or have to sit at a desk all day, your muscles can and will ache. For those of us who are a tad more sedentary in our day-to-day, particularly the muscles in the neck and shoulders are a cause of major discomfort. We can deal with this through stretching, taking a hot bath, or using heat wraps. The only problem with the latter of those options is that they don’t normally cover everything at once, and can only help about a square or a rectangle of space at a time.

If you’d prefer a more complete wrap, then the Neck and Shoulder Heat Wrap from Hammacher will likely do the trick. It will feel similar to someone coming from behind you and wrapping their arms around your shoulders for a hug. It has weighted edges so it will stay in place, and is made of 100% polyester microplush, which means it will be super soft to the touch.

It is wired, and has a controller which will allow you to adjust your temperature to one of four different levels. A common fear is that this sort of product will cause problems if left on too long. Thankfully this comes with a two-hour auto-off setting so nothing bad has a chance to happen. Well, nothing that could be the inventor’s fault anyway. It plugs into a standard outlet, and has nine feet of cord which means you’ll have plenty of space to find a comfortable spot and still be plugged in. The pad is machine-washable, and the whole kit and caboodle will cost you around $70.

Do you love drums and all things percussion? Assuming you have answered in the affirmative, here is the DrumPants, which is a Kickstarter project that hopes to garner enough financial support from the masses before it can be realized as an actual product. The DrumPants will be able to play more than 100 built in sounds, ranging from drums to percussion, synthesizers, guitars, or pianos, or even being able to make your own tunes. Apart from that, you are also able to program extra actions in order to control slideshows, silence your phone, and control websites such as Netflix or Youtube with but a simple tap.

With the DrumPants, you can use it to integrate with and use any apps which accept MIDI or OSC signals. Music that has been created can be sent by the DrumPants kit to other music apps in order to loop and edit music, among others. The DrumPants will basically allow you to play it anywhere, loud or quiet, with the help of a pair of headphones or a portable speaker.

Want to wear it with any clothing (both under and over)? Sure, not a problem. The reason behind the creation of the DrumPants would be the ability to create as well as play music on the go. It intends to offer just about everyone the ability to be able to create and capture music whenever they experience an “Eureka!” moment, and it could be on your daily commute to work, or simply sitting by the lake and breathing in the beauty of a sunrise. Made out of high quality industrial materials, the DrumPants are comfortable, durable, and affordable. Do you have enough faith in it to make it a reality?

Each pair of DrumPants would come with half a dozen 6 velocity sensors, stick-on quick release pads for attaching to clothes, and the DrumPants app that lets you connect DrumPants to a computer via USB.
