Eyeglasses + Watch= Dual Functionality

I wish I knew where you could get this- talk about dual functionally! Eyeglasses double as a watch. I can’t read the writing but I think it’s from a design contest. No matter what, it’s very cool and definitely something we will see in the future.

Eyeglasses and Watch For Maximum Functionality

Verilux ReadyLight Solar Rechargeable Flashlight For Safety

Coming into winter- it is always good to be prepared as the days get shorter and of course winter storms. This solar rechargeable flashlight might be a handy little device to keep around the home, office and car. (It also makes a great gift)- at least it’s on my Christmas list- you can never have enough flashlights!

Using an oversized solar panel designed to last 20 years, the torch will last up to 4 hours on a single charge using 6 bright LEDs. The torch has a rugged design, giving it protection from both shock and exposure to water. The torch contains 3 NiMH high capacity rechargeable batteries which are recharged by the built-in solar panel. Unfortunately, the time it takes to charge the torch appears to be missing from the specification.

Handy Cooler- Your Own Personal Air Conditioner

It has been so hot here in San Diego- I go from one room to the next trying to find a cool place. Now you can take cool air with you with this new Handycooler personal air conditioner! Evaporative cooling is the trick here. Simply drizzle a few ounces of water onto a sponge, and place it in a device a little bigger than a cordless phone, and enjoy cool breezes wherever you go. The fan draws air over the damp sponge, cooling it by up to 25 degrees Fahrenheit. The ducted fan rotates to move the air where you want it, but you’re gonna want to blow that heavenly cool air right past your sweating noggin.

It will require a quartet of AA batteries to keep running, so we’d suggest getting rechargeable batteries to go along with this if you want to be environmentally friendly in the long run. Of course, four batteries will bring you around 5 hours of cooling, but you can always opt for USB power whenever your computer or notebook is turned on. The Handycooler Personal Air Conditioner will retail for about $40.  a pop.
