My kids got me a Grill Right Wireless Talking BBQ Thermometer. Sounds complicated It&39;s not really. You simply put the probe in the meat you are cooking, and then you can get wireless updates about temperature and the "doneness" of your meat. I will never burn anything again! Here are some details about...http://www.gadgets-weblog.com/50226711/fathers_day_gadget_grill_right_thermometer.php Blinded By The TRI-L Light!- June 16, 2008 A while ago, I had received a TRI-L flashlight from the folks at Altuslumen for review. As far as flashlights go, it&39;s pretty nifty! Unlike many flashlights, this unit folds up into something a bit bigger than a mobile phone. Unfold it, and you can position the light in nearly any direction you need thanks to the fairly sturdy built-in tripod. There are two lighting modes: an area mode, which uses four white LEDs in a square to provide illumination, or a more traditional spotlight mode...http://www.gadgets-weblog.com/50226711/blinded_by_the_tril_light.php My, How Cheap Flash Drives Have Become- June 16, 2008 Photo courtesy of iStockphoto, thomas milewski USB flash drives are a bit like the floppy disks of old: ubiquitous, cheap, and relatively easy to use. They are how data travels the modern-day sneakernet. Sunday, I was walking through the Fry&39;s Electronics in Renton and looked at both the MicroSD cards and the USB flash drives available for sale. I noticed that there were a plethora of 2 and even 4 gig USB drives and they were plentiful. They had a smaller number of 8 gigabyte ones.

I realize that some of you don&39;t understand my mindset, but sometimes the things that you can&39;t tell what they are by looking at them are the most interesting. This is the case with the Eyemove PC, which could easily change the way we do PCs. The Eyemove is actually two units wirelessly synced together. The first is an oval shaped projector that can be mounted vertically on a wall or horizontally on..http://www.gadgets-weblog.com/50226711/eyemove_pc.php Fantom Is Getting Green with GreenDrive- June 13, 2008 Even gadget lovers can care about the earth. In fact, some would argue that because of our massive amounts of electronic gizmos, we have a duty to cut back where we can. That&39;s where Fantom&39;s recently announced GreenDrive Technology comes in. These USB external hard drives will feature a new variable speed drive technology designed to cut energy use by 40% with no performance loss.

Just think of how quiet your laptop is in comparison to say, a typewriter. I suppose the next radical step is here with the No-key Keyboard by designer Kong Fanwen. It is the flattest QWERTY keyboard to this writing, and it uses camera and lighting as well as motion capture technology in order to figure out what letters or numbers that you just typed. Even though this photo shows the keyboard immersed in...http://www.gadgets-weblog.com/50226711/nokey_glass_keyboard.php NaviSis Allows Pen to Work with Computer Seamlessly- June 11, 2008 I have recently been made aware of a Korean company called NaviSis, and what I see, I like. NaviSis specializes in "ultrasonic wave and infrared ray tablets and electronic pens". They have several products which allow for some serious interaction for the user and their computer screen via electric pen. For example, the TabletMouse and Navinote allow a user to write or draw on a pad, and have it be translated directly into a computer. Items like the Laptop Pen and EZ-Canvas turn the screen...http://www.gadgets-weblog.com/50226711/navisis_allows_pen_to_work_with_computer_seamlessly... Super Thin Gadgets Are Living Large - Voodoo Envy 133 Joins the Party- June 11, 2008 We all know about the MacBook Air. It is Apple&39;s super thin (.16 inches - .76 inches) 13 inch laptop computer. Then came the ThinkPad X300 (.73 inches - .92 inches), from Lenovo. These machine&39;s aren&39;t bad, in fact, they are pretty smooth, light, and sleek.
