Laser Twilight Stars Projector brings the planetarium experience home

laserstarSo your little one loves to go stargazing, and sometimes, you wish that you were able to provide him or her with as many number of trips possible when night falls and all the stars come out to play. Well, it is a good thing that technology has advanced to a point where you can purchase a substitute, although do bear in mind that at the end of the day, it will never be able to amount to the real deal. The $169.99 Laser Twilight Stars Projector might not be astronomically accurate, but it does allow your entire room, ceiling and walls resemble that of a beautiful night sky as it projects green laser stars and blue clouds.

Works best whenever you turn the lights off (but of course!), and it is really fantastic to figure out that a device like this, where it measures approximately 10” in height, is capable of projecting a combination of green laser stars and blue clouds onto your ceiling, walls, and heck, you might even make that constantly sleeping dog of yours as a “screen” of sorts, too! The clouds as well as stars will look as though they are constantly on the move and morphing from one shape to another, depicting a universe that is “alive”, and thousands of green laser stars to bowl yourself over.

Brain Cube offers some puzzlers to keep your brain occupied

brain-cubeForget about tongue twisters – whenever you are getting on in age, it would be a whole lot better to make sure that your mental prowess is able to keep up with your physical prowess. It would not really benefit you if you were to sit in front of the TV and flip channels all day long, as all of the passive entertainment is not going to make that grey matter of yours get enough exercise. The $29.99 Brain Cube might seem rather odd at first, but it is a true blue brain twister.

Touted to be the “ultimate brain-bending puzzle cube”, the Brain Cube happens to be made out of Kraton, which more or less delivers a rather squishy brain feel. Not only that, the entire shebang looks even more authentic as it comes in a cool glass display jar. This is one brain challenge that is made out of a brain, where the entire goal is to match all the folds. It might sound rather easy at first, but actually, it can be rather tricky simply because it is not too easy to spot just what goes where.

Muscle Wire USB Powered Moving Butterfly does not sting your wallet like a bee

muscle-wireWe do know that in Japan, that is where one is able to find some weird and quirky USB-powered gizmos and toys. However, these toys can sometimes be purchased online, such as the $19.99 Muscle Wire USB Powered Moving Butterfly. The name of this particular gizmo gives itself away, where it will be powered by your USB port and flap its wings slowly, as though a butterfly is flitting in a stationary position right there and then on your desk. If you want to mesmerize new job applicants in your office, then this would be better than some of those kinetic sculptures. Available in three beautiful species, I guess you can also say that this is some form of stress relief device worth having.

The three species that you can choose from would be available in monarch, blue morpho, or swallowtail, and it flaps its wings not at a preset speed, but rather, deliver realistic random patterns and speeds so that it is as lifelike as possible. The movements are made possible courtesy of the application of electrical current to a Flexinol actuator wire. Do you think that this is worth a purchase if your desk looks pretty bare?

newtrent-chargepakMost of us do carry our fair share of gadgets, where a smartphone is a definite “must have” device, while some of us augment that with a tablet for those moments where lugging around a notebook is just too much trouble.

Sous-Vide SDV delivers a more accurate cooking experience

sous-vide-sdvI know that for many of us who spend time in the kitchen whipping up dishes from time to time, cooking does involve a fair bit of skill as well as intuition. The thing is, all of this intuition comes with plenty of experience, but if you are just starting out, it would be highly advisable for you to obtain the relevant number of tools to help you get going, starting off on the right foot. The $99.99 Sous-Vide SDV is definitely such a device that would eliminate any kind of guesswork, as it capable of maintaining water temperature within 1 degree F of precision, and works well with your slow cooker or rice cooker.

Not only that, I guess you can say that this is an affordable introduction to sous vide cooking. It might even propel you to star chef status in your home, as your meals start to taste even better than ever before, without you ending up serving the rest of your guests under or over-cooked meat. Perhaps that elusive (so far) perfect steak is no longer a distant dream, eh? The Sous-Vide SDV will involve a technique that immerses a vacuum packed sachet of meat into precisely temperature-controlled water, where the water would slowly bring the internal temperature of the food evenly up to a point without scorching it. With the Sous-Vide SDV, it will be placed between your slow-cooker (crock pot) or rice-cooker and the wall outlet, where the wired probe remains in the center of your water bath, and using its sophisticated computer brain, will control the cooker so that the water bath remains within 1 degree F of the desired temperature. Isn’t this neat?
