Doctor Who Sonic Screwdriver Flashlight

First to recommend

Description

It seems like about eight of the devices in my pockets have some kind of built-in flashlight, but even so, this Doctor Who "sonic screwdriver" replica torch is quite tempting, especially at $13 plus shipping. (via boing boing)

Finley Plan Station 22410 Portable Workstation

First to recommend

Description

If you need to relocate your workspace for whatever reason, this portable desk folds into a large portfolio style case with handles, so it's quite easy to move your 'hub' with you. You have to provide two pieces of plywood, which slip into two pockets to create the rigid surfaces. Installation is a snap: two metal "O" rings on either edge allow for easy hooking on any sturdy screw/nail/hook. The rings are 48" apart so they line up with any standard 16" O.C. wall stud system.

15 LED Dynamo Pack-Away Lantern

First to recommend

Description

This convenient light source is able to provide 360 degree illumination through dual mode lighting: 9-LED or 15-LED.

The lantern features three distinct ways to power up.

It has a wind-up generator with a 3-phase alternator motor, an included 12V AC/DC vehicle cigarette lighter socket adaptor or works with a 12V AC/DC wall socket adaptor (not included).

It is perfect for emergencies and power outages as well as while camping, fishing and hunting.

When the lights go out in an emergency, there is often a need for a light source that covers an area larger than what a traditional flashlight can handle.

In the past there were two options for lighting a room, the first being multiple candles placed around the room, the second a kerosene lantern.

While both produce large amounts of light, they come with the danger of open flames.

Now there is a new option in emergency lighting — the LED Crank Lantern.

To access the 360 degree light, pull up on the top of the lantern while pressing the two buttons located on opposite sides.

When fully extended the lantern will lock into place.

When turned on, the lantern boasts two lighting options: at low power nine LEDs conserve power, and at high-power 15 LEDs provide maximum brightness.

The lantern's hand crank is tucked away neatly in the lantern's lid when not in use.

When the crank is needed, it flips up and turns easily (in either direction) to generate continuous light after a few minutes of turning (see conversion table below).

In addition to being a fabulous light source, this lantern has a built-in, extra-loud emergency siren that can be used to let people know where you are.

The lantern can also charge many cell phones with the furnished adaptors.

Winding/Light Duration Table

1 minute winding = 8-10 minutes light

3 minute winding = 12-15 minutes light

5 minutes winding = 15-20 minutes light

podXtreme

3 people recommended this item

Description

Turn your iPod or MP3 player into the life of the party with extreme sound from a device you can fit in your pocket. Boost your bass and fill your room with deep, rich sound.

No one will suspect that you hold the power to fill an entire room with sound in your pocket. When you pull the podXtreme out for the first time, people might even chuckle. But when they stumble back from the powerful sound this mighty speaker projects, you might just find yourself smiling at their amazement. No other speaker on the market packs such a punch in such a small unit.

It should be illegal, so much power in such a small space. The podXtreme draws its power from a built-in rechargeable lithium ion battery that is recharged via your USB port (or you can plug it into the the wall). Drawing upon its own power source, the podXtreme allows you to listen to music with much more volume and for a longer period of time than a speaker that pulls power from your MP3 or iPod.

The secret resonator provides the podXtreme with such a powerful bass boost that you're going to need to pimp out your iPod or MP3 player with spinners. Operating the same way as a quality subwoofer, the secret resonator helps to elongate your sound through the expanded tunnel, creating a deeper bass and richer sound. Who knew that such rich sound could be produced from such a tiny device? The podXtreme is your gateway to rich, powerful, party causing sound. Start making plans now because as soon as you order the podXtreme, the party is getting started.
