Perfectly Chilled Glass of Wine Anyone?

Posted: 26 Jul 2012 12:35 PM PDT


The dog days of summer are here. The heat is not going away soon. It does not matter where you are – beach, back yard, ballpark – they are all HOT.  Many times the heat of the day…or night…call for a perfectly chilled glass of your favorite white or red wine. But a couple degrees can ruin a good bottle. Don't risk the frustration of having a great bottle floating in lukewarm chiller bucket. Or even worse, adding ice cubes to a great glass and ruining the flavor.

From Cabernet to Pinot Grigio, the perfect temperature can now be achieved with the Corkcicle.  The Corkcicle is a freezable gadget that ensures the perfect chill to your favorite bottle.  Simply place it in the bottle and the wine is chilled from the inside. Wash it and re-freeze it for the next bottle. Two hours in the freezer will get you an hour of flawless chilling time. Individually wrapped 3-packs are available so you can always be prepared or give them as gifts.

The Corkcicle is as low as $22.95 for one or $64.99 for a 3-pack.

Tetris Light

Posted: 26 Jul 2012 06:30 AM PDT

Now here is something interesting that you might want to consider the next time you are thinking of going about remodeling your home – the £29.99 Tetris Light would be just the thing. After all, we do know that there are plenty of options when it comes to lighting up your home, and with the game of Tetris, there are seven different Tetrominoes for you to choose from. It is really interesting to see how phenomenal the game of Tetris had ended up ever since it was released from Soviet Russia all the way back in the early 1980s, ending up as one of the world’s favorite computer games to date. Heck, it even has a multiplayer version on the social network Facebook today.

Well, introduce a little bit of Tetris magic into your living room with the Tetris Lights that you see here. It does not matter where you place it, as it will light up in just the way your video game mind might work. If you collect all the different Tetrominoes, then you can play a very short game of Tetris on your very own – although there is no way you are able to obtain a perfect line clear with all the parts. At least this is one instance where money can get you just the right Tetromino.

Wello Launches an End to your Exercise Excuses

Posted: 26 Jul 2012 06:13 AM PDT

Okay, it’s no secret how much I hate to exercise. I can rattle off a half dozen ready excuses for why I don’t want to work out, not the least of which being that I don’t have the time. I donated money to a gym for an entire year, I say donated because I paid, and never went. I also have at least 3 pieces of brand new exercise equipment, in varying stages of clothing storage. Heck, if it weren’t for my rowing machine, I’d have nowhere to put my winter sweaters.

Well, forget going to the gym or boring at-home workouts, because yesterday, Wello.co became the world’s first website offering live personal training via two-way video. So whether you just have a 20 minute break at the office, or you actually have an hour to kill in your living room, as long as you have an Internet connection Wello can provide you with a very affordable and easy way to workout with a real live fitness professional of your choosing. My excuses are slowly dwindling aren’t they?

Now that we have Wello, our workouts can happen wherever and whenever we want them. All we need is a laptop, webcam and an Internet connection. First you need to explain a little about yourself and what kind of equipment you might have (if any) and then you pick a trainer that suits your needs in terms of time, date, price, or training style, and finally, you book your session and get to sweating. How easy is that?

 I think the idea may work, because unlike joining the gym (which I swear I did with the best of intentions) once I book a trainer and have them live on my computer talking to me, I’m kind of trapped, and fairly committed, not to mention I won’t want to waste the 5 to 75 plus dollars that I paid to wello.co,  to just shut down my computer and eat a pizza while I watch a movie. Hmm, pizza and a movie?… sounds good doesn’t it?

Sceptre has a spanking new 50″ LCD HDTV for the masses

Posted: 26 Jul 2012 05:30 AM PDT

You can say that many of us love to own new pieces of consumer electronics whenever we can afford one. However, a lot of that depends on your bank balance, and Sceptre is definitely a name that allows you to own some of the better looking home consumer electronics without having to burst that bank account of yours. For those of you who are looking for a spanking new TV, here we are with Sceptre’s latest addition – the 50″ LCD HDTV that is said to offer a true 50" viewable area, in addition to surround sound and a slim and sleek design – which would make it the ideal centerpiece for just about any room.

Just like all the other Sceptre models which have been released in the past, this new 50″ LCD HDTV from Sceptre will come with its slew of features that are not commonly found in other HDTVs that are on the market. Among these features include SRS TruSurround HD, which is actually a technology that is capable of optimizing bass performance in order to create a vivid 3D sound experience. Apart from that, it will also come with multiple HDMI ports which makes sense in this day and age – where more and more devices come with HDMI connectivity. Apart from that, there is also a USB port that will let you easily view and access music and JPEG files, in addition to being able to swivel up to 30 degrees so that you can adjust it to any viewing angle, among others.

To make sure that your eyes are greeted by none other than crisp images, while your ears enjoy unparalled sound quality (at a budget price of course, we are not talking about audiophile level here), the Sceptre 50″ LCD HDTV was also specially designed to be as energy efficient as possible, resulting in long term cost savings for the consumer. I would say this makes plenty of sense, especially if the HDTV is your primary mode of entertainment in the living room. It does not matter if you use it to watch movies or play games on a console, the Sceptre 50″ LCD HDTV will get the job done just fine. It has an Energy Star rating that is estimated to cost you $21 each year – the lowest in its class, of course.

The asking price for 50″ of viewing goodness? We are looking at just $999.99 here – which isn’t much at all, don’t you think so?

Marrs M-1 intends to be the top end bicycle

Posted: 26 Jul 2012 05:00 AM PDT

When it comes to pedal power, you really do not have that much choice in terms of how fast you are going to go. After all, a whole lot of it depends on you making the effort to cycle as hard and as fast as you can to max up your speed. Of course, unless you are talking about a bicycle with an electric engine that will help you move as fast as possible without assistance from your legs. Enter the Marrs M-1 bicycle that intends to be the Harley Davidson of bicycles.

Anaheim-based Marrs Cycles is proud to announce that their Marrs M-1 most probably has far more in common with a customized Harley Davidson, compared to other stuff that are put out by Specialized or Trek. Company founder Kacy Marrs, he who has a background in riding a range of both bicycles and motorcycles, as well as his business partner, Brad Fanshaw, who did run a company which constructed truly one-of-a-kind hot rods, do have something interesting for the future with the Marrs M-1 bicycle.

Similar to Fanshaw's cars, the Marrs M-1s are constructed in a built to order format. What I am saying is, the specifications will all be different, depending on what the user wants. After all, money is your limit. When you translate it to plain English, it would mean the specifications is able to differ from bicycle to bicycle, depending on what your wants are. Rechargeable lithium battery packs will be at the heart of the Marrs M-1, which is used to juice up a three-phase brushless rear hub motor. Just what kind of performance can this puppy pack? Well, the smallest pack of them all is capable of churning out 20 amp hours, which on paper, it enables a 175-pound (79kg) rider to travel up to 20 miles (32 km) on a single charge – without the need to pedal.

The Marrs M-1 bike has a top motorized speed of 20 mph (32 km/h). After all, anything that is speedier, it would not be able to legally be classed as an electric bicycle for the US market. Marrs mentioned that his company has already come up with personal test bikes which will be able to exceed that speed. After all, Marrs said that he did bring the Marrs M-1 for a test drive at approximately 30 mph (48 km/h). You might need to fork out a minimum of $7,000 if you are thinking of getting one of these puppies for yourself.
