Morse Code Signal Lamp

Posted: 16 Apr 2011 04:38 PM PDT

In this day of Facebook and Twitter, what is the need for Morse Code? After all, the Boy Scouts even have a Robotics badge now to keep up with the times, and how many of you are going to get stranded on an island with no help in sight, requiring you to send SOS signals in Morse Code?

Still, it is better to be safe than sorry, which is why the Morse Code Signal Lamp is still in business. Faithful to the original Morse code signal lamp which delivered discreet intra-fleet communication by the British Navy of yore, this 13 1/2″-diameter Morse code signal lamp comes with seven louvers in front of the bulb which can open and close to emit a solid beam or filtered light for customizable illumination in a home.

The aluminum lamp head will be mounted on a solid aluminum cast bracket, accompanied by a couple of brass knobs which will tilt the lamp up to 45º, a feature which ships utilized in order to project light pulses onto clouds to communicate with vessels beyond the horizon. Its brass handle will control the louvers, while the lamp head swivels around in 360º of movement, alongside the polished aluminum tripod that is supported by a trio of solid brass feet.

One light bulb up to 100-watts will replace the original carbon arc lamp, so this needs to be plugged into AC to work. The asking price? A rather hot $1,300.

Agility Saietta R Bike

Posted: 16 Apr 2011 04:32 PM PDT

Electric vehicles seem to be all the rage these days, so you might be interested to ride into the sunset with the Agility Saietta R Bike – a cool looking two-wheeler that looks as though it comes from the future. Of course, the £13,570 price tag is not going to make it appealing to everybody at first glance, but hear me out as I list down what’s so great about this.

First of all, you need not worry about traffic jams since you can always zip yourself around town on this, squeezing between cars to get from point A to point B within the fastest time possible. Apart from that, you don’t have to cram yourself into public transport like you’re part of a sardine tin, and best of all is, the spare seat behind is perfect for you to pick up chicks (if you’re single, of course) as it looks totally hot.

With the Saietta R's electric motor in action, all the bulk associated with how a standard bike should look like has been removed, and hence the shape and model have evolved to resemble something from the future. This lightweight and environmentally-friendly dream ride might not glow like something out of Tron, but it will still turn heads around and eyes green as you cruise down the street on this.

Get “Bizzy” – Real Time Reviews and Suggestions

Posted: 15 Apr 2011 07:52 PM PDT

Bizzy, the personalized local business recommendation engine powered by people with similar tastes, launched a new mobile location-based “Check Out” feature, which lets you quickly and easily denote your response to every business you visit. Then the sentiment that you have shared about the business that you visited will let others know what you thought about the place and it will help Bizzy give YOU recommendations for the next time you’re out and about.

“Bizzy’s new ‘Check Out’ is very different than other location apps that focus on WHERE you went. Bizzy’s focus is on how you liked where you went,” says Aaron Strout, author of the upcoming book “Location-Based Services for Dummies.” “I’ll keep checking in with Foursquare or Gowalla when I go out, but I’m also going to ‘Check Out’ with Bizzy to keep a record of my favorite places, let my friends know how it went, and help Bizzy learn more about my tastes.”

“We’ve designed ‘Check Outs’ to let users share their opinion of a place in the same amount of time it takes to sign a credit card slip or wait for your date to get back from the bathroom. You don’t have to wait to get home to write up a review anymore.”

To “Check Out” from a business, you just tap on the “Check Out” button on the Bizzy mobile app and then tell Bizzy how you liked the place by using the smiley face scale: the “happy face :) ,” the “meh face :| ,” or the “sad face :( .” you can also leave a tip with your “Check Out,” letting future visitors know a little something extra about the location, or food, or other special insider information including some pictures if you’d like.

So download the Bizzy mobile app for iPhone or Android smartphones and start “checking out” then you can let Bizzy recommend the best places for you to eat, shop and play. Did I mention it’s free? but right now it’s only here in the U.S.A.
