Weather-predicting clothes peg ???


Oliver MacCarthy, a student from Brunel University in UK designed an intelligent peg with simple forecasting equipment for weather prediction. So here's what it does. It senses when it's going to rain and blocks itself and cannot be used to hang clothes. A comic movie just crossed my (sick) mind. A person who sees that outside is begining to rain and goes outside in a rush to pick up the clothes preventing them from getting dirty againg. Tough luck because all the pegs refuse to let go to their precious "meals". Don't worry. It's just a prototype, but who knows... Anyway don't let your kids play with these things when it's about to rain. They could trap all sorts of body parts.

The perfect gadget


Gadgets room by room - The bathroom


Back to the kitchen.... I forgot one


The 94 degree weather has reminded me of another gadget that I LOVE...

I have a Brita water filter. I hate the taste of the water in my town, it really has a strong bleachy taste some times. Bottled water is expensive, so I bought a filter for my tap. It has a light on it that will turn red when it is time to replace the filter.

It really improves the taste of water, it also improves the taste of the cofee that I make with the water.

This is a great product I would reccomend to anyone who wants to improve the taste and quality of their drinking water.

gadgets room by room - taking it outside

My favorite outdoor gadget is my Weber Gas Grill. I love that thing. I like having a gas grill because I can turn it off and on easilly without messing with charcoal, it cooks meat quickly and evenly, and a lot at one time. I can cook for a couple days at a time and have leftover steak, beef or chicken to cut into salads. I like to grill vegetables.

With the heat wave we had this weekend (it was over 100 degrees on Sunday) I got up early and grilled at around 6 am. This was effective, no one wanted to eat hot food. Also, it prevents heating up the kitchen from using the oven or the stove. I did all of my gardening while keeping an eye on the grill, and had enough meat cooked to cut up for salads and sandwiches for several days.

This is better than buying deli meats or lunchmeat because I can avoid as many additives as possible, and save money.

Heart Rate Monitor

The more you work out, the more efficient you become, the less calories you burn. What to do, what to do?

I am a big fan of heart rate monitors. They help keep you honest when you exercise. They can help you make sure that your warmup is really a warmup, and know when you have cooled down enough.

One of the main reasons for getting a heart rate monitor is to watch the effort that you are producing. As you train, you become better at what you are doing, and you have to work harder to see results.
