Hasta La Gadget!

You know how it is for those of us who live in temperate countries. There are times when winter or fall arrives, and we just for some strange reason feel unnaturally depressed, simply because of the change in weather. Don’t we wish that the summer sun would remain there perpetually so that we can enjoy long days? Well, the $99.95 Light Therapy Visor is said to be the ideal visor to deliver the right kind of therapeutic light in order to counteract the effects of fatigue, jet lag, and Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). It will work differently from that of static devices which requires one to stare into a lamp, as the Light Therapy Visor is not only lightweight but portable as well. You might look rather silly wearing this unit on your head though, but on the other hand, at least it is nigh portable that you can use it just about anywhere.

A trio of white and a similar number of red LEDs will be able to emit 800 and 80 lux respectively, delivering daylight spectrum light in just the right amount that is recommended by the National Institute of Health. This is known as light therapy, where it will block the release of the sleep hormone melatonin, and has been clinically proven to result in increased energy and alertness. It is said that one should wear the Light Therapy Visor anywhere from 20 to 30 minutes in the morning for optimal results, and you can also opt to alternate between white and red light therapy with a single press of a button. Each purchase comes with a travel pouch, and make sure you have a three AAA batteries handy at all times just in case it runs out of juice.

Raise your hand if you and your spouse/significant other truly enjoy the same temperature while in bed? That’s what I thought. Not many hands. You may be soul mates, you may be able to complete each other’s sentences but when it comes to sleep temperatures…nope! My guess is more couples differ in their snoozing temperature preferences than not. And even single folks have a challenge in keeping a comfortable temperature at night.

Brookstone has the perfect device to mend this difference in any relationship or help the single sleeper maintain temperature. The Bed Fan with Wireless Remote, $99.99, circulates air between the sheets. It is perfect for those warm bodied sleepers or those with night sweats. Situate Bed Fan at the side or end of the bed. The adjustable neck enables use for mattresses of various sizes.  Then lie back and use the remote to control the airflow. Bed Fan sends air over the area, which may or may not include your bed buddy. Heck, you could even turn off the AC and save some money. Need to adjust the air in the middle of the night? The remote becomes backlit upon touch so you can find it on the nightstand. The days of kicking off the sheets (and pulling them back on and kicking them off again) will vanish. With Bed Fan spouses, or solo sleepers, can rest in their own temperature.

I don’t know about you, but there are bound to be people out there who think that a zombie apocalypse is imminent and could happen anytime, leading them to figure out ways and means to kill zombies in the most efficient manner while stocking up on all the essentials in a safe room. Not only that, your foodstuff would be best to come in a can, and just to make sure no one gets to your stash (zombies won’t unless there are brains inside, it would be the pesky humans who are alive that would want to have a share of your canned bacon), whether it is in a storeroom or in a fridge, this is where the £19.99 Fridge Locker would come in handy.

This clever cage solution would definitely cut down the rates of food theft in the communal fridge, where all of your favorite snacks and edibles can be kept under lock and key. Sporting a solid plastic locker form factor, it has a combination lock and a size that would make most coolers more than pleased to host it. Since it has grills, it remains well ventilated and will not be able to trap any noxious odors within.

The evolution of the smartphone as more than a phone is underway. They are slowly taking over tasks in our daily lives. Think about it. Things like music players, portable DVD players, cameras, GPS, flashlights, calculators and dictation devices go by the wayside. NFC and Passbook technologies mean no more need to carry a wallet. Next will be, yep, your keys.

Funds have been raised and production is moving forward for Lockitron by Apigy. Expected in March 2013, the wi-fi enabled Lockitron fits under and on top of your dead bolt. Add the app to your smartphone and from there the possibilities are numerous. First, lock or unlock your door from anywhere in the world via the app. So if the kids forget their keys while you are at work, no problem. Have an overnight guest arrive while you are out? You and Lockitron can let them in. And if you don’t have a smartphone a simple text to the device can unlock the door. From a security standpoint, the builti-in lock sensor alerts you via message when the door is opened – whether by key or phone. And Lockitron, via Bluetooth can even serve as a wireless entry system, unlocking the door as your phone is in range.  If that is not enough, NFC phones can even be waved over the door to unlock. Lockitron pros are obvious.

On the con side, Lockitron works on 4 AA batteries which give a year of life. Alerts will let you know when batteries are running low. But I shudder to think what happens if they go dead and you don’t have a key. Or if the phone loses power. Yikes. And what if you lose your phone? You can remotely (via web) disable the Lockitron so the phone thief has no access. The positives far outweigh any negatives. Pre-orders are being taken for March 2013 shipping. And at $149, Lockitron seems a pretty logical choice for convenience and peace of mind.
