Here is handy dandy Wifi Detector. It's a great improvement over other types of detectors. A typical WiFi detector will only show you the presence of a signal and relative signal strength. This Digital WiFi Detector from ThinkGeek Gadgets has a backlit LCD screen that provides information on signal availability and strength as well as essential network information, including SSID, security status and channel. When multiple networks are present, the LCD will allow you to scroll through information for each network. The only thing it doesn't do is make you breakfast but at least you will never be out of a signal.

If you are a golf fanatic like me then you will love this golf gadget. The iGolf neo Golf GPS is a new offering from Sharper Image this week. If you have ever played at a course that offers a GPS system you will know how great it is to have. This GPS system instantly provides precise distances to the front, center and back of the green, as well as other critical targets on any golf course in the world. No aiming or line-of-sight required. The Integrated "Shot Distance" feature lets golfers determine the distance they hit each club to improve their game.

Check these bad boys out. Something every butcher could use, my butcher only has two fingers and a thumb left but he could have saved them all by wearing these handy Kevlar Gloves.

Maybe the reality of Iron Man isn't too far off. Just look at Rex in his "eoskeleton of aluminum and electronics that multiplies his strength and endurance as many as 20 times." The army believes the robotic suit will someday be used by soldiers but is focusing on using it for cargo loading or heavy equipment repair. I think it would make carrying kegs of beer around alot easier. They still have a ways to go in sorting out power issues but you have to ask yourself, how far away is Skynet?

I was watching an episode of Good Times the other day and noticed how much I miss the old phones. Now you can enjoy that old time retro phone feel right on your cell phone. The Classical Hands Free comes in either pink or black and fits a large number of phones. The Hands Free will upport phone models from Motorola, Nokia, Panasonic, Samsung and Sony Ericsson. I think it's a great gadget for those that only have a cell phone and want to feel like they still have a home phone. For $19 you can't go wrong.

I am not sure when you will be able to pick one of these up at your local Wal Mart but it's a start. Yves Rossy made a successful jet fueled powered wing ride on May the 14th over the Swiss Alps. Yves spent about five minutes flying reaching  speeds of up to 186 MPH. His jet wing measures 8 feet across. They are powered by four Jet-Cat P200 jet turbine engines outputting 50 pounds of thrust each with a flight time of up to 10 minutes. Yves controls direction totally with his body movements. I can't wait to pick one up.

How is this for one creepy looking lamp? Maybe not what you have in mind for your living room but would look pretty cool in a computer or dorm room. It is the My Brain Lamp designed by Alexander Lervik  Actually it's a replica of his brain that origincated from a scan at the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm. The image was processed through a 3D-printer and became this unusual lampshade design. The light source is LED. Yes, it is bright.

Just what fat american kids need to get them to the kitchen to grab their cheesburgers without wasting much needed energy. It is designed much like those walkers that you see the elderly and obese people in but designed for your three year old with a 66 lb weight limit. It's controlled by a pair of joysticks and one charge will last anywhere from six to eight hours. Just enough time to totally rip your house. This one is a winner.

A look at BlackBerry website shows a new offering. The BlackBerry Bold. A slick looking new smartphone. Information on their site is sketchy I did find some information on it. "Featuring a sleek black exterior with satin chrome bezel and leather-like backplate, the iPhone-esque quad-band EDGE and tri-band HSDPA smartphone features GPS and Wi-Fi, a half-VGA (480 x 320 resolution) color LCD, and the usual Blackberry email/web functions and QWERTY keyboard.
