Just what the heck is the Urban Weather Station all about? Well, it has been touted to be the first personal weather station in the market that will boast of air quality sensors, and even better is the fact that since just about everyone and their grandfather owns a smartphone, the Netatmo Urban Weather Station will also play nice with the iPhone, iPad and Android-powered devices without missing a beat. In fact, the Urban Weather Station is no stranger to being under the spotlight, especially when it has been recognized for its innovative design and received three Innovations and Engineering Honoree Awards at the 2013 International Consumer Electronics Show earlier this year.

Ah, to be young again! I am quite sure that the dusty old landline phone in your home would wish the clock to be wound back by a few decades, before the scourge of mobile phones and smartphones, which have more or less turned the landline into a redundant expense for most homes, at least in developed countries. Remember those hours that you spent yakking away with your best friend over the phone, so much so that other folks start to ask your parents when they meet them, “How come your house phone is always engaged?” Well, the $36 Talk Dock will bring the old and the new in one device, where it comes in the form of a telephone receiver, doubling up as a dock and charging station for your iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, or iPhone 5.

For folks who are not an Apple aficionado, fret not – the Talk Dock receiver itself is prepared for such a situation, where it boasts of a 3.5mm audio jack which can plug into any phone’s headset port, and not only that, it can be detached from the base for you to bring it with you regardless of where you are.

Over the years, I am quite sure that you have heard medical research being done on coffee drinkers – some say that drinking one cup of coffee a day is going to help lower the chances of heart attack, while some time down the road, another report says otherwise, placing you in two minds as to whether to continue to drink coffee or not. I say bollocks to all of that, and just settle for what you want to drink, as you can never tell whether today is going to be your last day here on earth or not. Having said that, you might want to check out the £34.99 Koziol Unplugged Coffee Maker which comes in lime green, red, white or black colors.

All you need to do is fill up the Koziol Unplugged Coffee Maker with coffee (or other flavors if you so desire), add some boiling water, and you’re good to go. Sporting an extremely classy design, it is the de facto coffee maker to purchase especially if you happen to be a young, working single who is just starting out in life, living in an extremely cramped apartment at a rent that would cause your father to cough up blood when he hears about it. Best of all is, this is one coffee maker that keeps on working even when there is no electricity in the region, thanks to its traditional drip-style form factor.

Let us have a show of hands here – how many of you out there love a game of paintball? You know, hiding around the corner, hoping to get that vital shot in so that the rest of your mates will be able to take over the strategic point. Well, I am quite sure that paintball enthusiasts are more than familiar with regular paintball equipment, but since you want to stand out from the rest of the crowd always, here is the Airow Gun paintball attachment that will definitely add color (in more ways than one) to any paintball course.

Basically, the Airow Gun paintball attachment is a unique and innovative evolution in the paintball industry, where you should be able to increase your paintball gun accuracy with every release of the string. I am not quite sure whether this would be tantamount to cheating or not in anybody’s books, but better equipment has always been the quest of the pure sportsperson who wants to break limits, eventually merging man and machine as one.

Since we are all about convergence devices these days, why not let the humble chopping board at home also feature a similar idea? Thinkgeek has just the thing for your kitchen with the $39.99 One Stop Chop Cutting Board, where it comes across as a raised cutting board that has storage drawers right under it. Yes sir, this means you can always keep your essential chopping, slicing and dicing utensils within the cutting board itself without having to worry about where the knife went.

Made out of bamboo, its surface has been treated with mineral oil to make it highly durable and beautiful. A trio of prep drawers can be pulled out so you are able to slide chopped food in them if you so desire, minimizing the amount of cups or bowls around the cutting board area of the kitchen. Heck, you can even opt to bring the entire One Stop Chop Cutting Board over to the stove for easy and spill-free cooking, especially when you have finely chopped onions ready and waiting to be thrown into the nearest pot for that lovely onion soup recipe.
