Ski With The Ski Home Simulator

When using Wii-Fit’s balance board is great for some sports simulations, but it can only go so far. The Ski Home Simulator is another gadget that will give you an option for those with large bank accounts and too much time on their hands at least $2285. It's also has features for the ski beginner, as well as more advanced users, like a pro maybe? :)

But apparently it’s for the PC only for now, meaning that you need to plug it to your PC or your laptop.

This gadget comes with 32 different courses in it, from 18 real life venues including Beaver Lake, Lake Louise and Chamonix, these are still pretty expensive courses when you take the price into your bank account

For Your Eyes...Luxeed Dynamic Pixel LED Keyboard

We've seen illuminated keyboards before, but when we saw this Luxeed Dynamic Pixel LED Keyboard and stopped looking. With the 430 LEDs the Luxeed is capable of individually lighting each key in your choice of color. What's more it can do some amazing tricks like an animated rainbow across all the keys, or make each key light when you press it. Cool huh?

You will get four "preset" buttons above the arrow keys you can use to instantly choose between different customizable lit skin presets. Set-up a glowing skin for your favorite game with different colors to indicate each key action... or create illuminated patterns and designs.

This thing have two colors you can choose, pick your Luxeed flavor of black or white. The keys of the white Luxeed have a semi-transparent look and light up more brightly than the black. However the black Luxeed has a stylish treatment with only the letters being illuminated. Both keyboards look the best in dim lighting of course. Optionally you can pick up the matching numeric keypad to match your Luxeed, but we do warn you that the keypad is functional only, its keys do not light up. Gotta have this one... :)

Casio's G-Shock Celebration Watch, Cool One

The truth is, this is a cool marketing gimmick. But ask yourself, are these robot watches more awesome than your typical daily watch? Casio’s 25 years of G-Shock celebration continues with the offering of a new set of character watches designed by the only one Shiro Nakano.

Now after we’ve given you the good news, it’s time for the bad... :) These robot characters watches themselves are not available for sale. And yes, that’s a big mistake, because they are amazingly cool. They would make great desktop clocks. And good robot clocks are hard to find. Ask any robo-enthusiast. Bet they will say yesss...

We, like you got my hopes up when I saw these. We can only hope that at some point they become available. Hopefully...!

When we're living in 2009, chances are you suck at sewing. It seems like kind of a lost art in a way and when you mastering an old sewing machine can be a real pain anyway. Really...

But with this gadget called Brother Quattro 6000D, you’d be a master seamstress. This beast of a sewing machine features a 7-inch HD LCD display and embedded runway lighting. It even goes so far as to have a camera next to the needle, letting you see close exactly what you’re doing, so you don’t mess up your stitches anyway.

There’s still no info on pricing or a release date as of yet, but I think we can safely say that it will cost quite a nice chunk of change. You may want to toil away on your old machine while saving some extra scratch. Get ready to stiching!

LED garden hose...Spray It...

We know it’s better to water your plants in the evening, when the sun isn’t beating down on them. That way the water doesn’t evaporate right away and the ground can soak up as much as it needs. So that means you need to garden in the dark, but how are you supposed to see what’s going on and what's your spraying at?

With this gadget, a LED garden hose of course. This garden hose nozzle has a light on it, so you can see exactly where you’re spraying.

It doubles as a defensive weapon as well, should you see an intruder among your plants and vegetables. You’ll be able to see them run away when you spray your plants...

Radio Flyer Cloud 9, Will Fly You

This Radio Flyer is not like your grandfather's Radio Flyer. Or maybe like your dad’s, or even the kind you tooled around in as a kid. This one is like a luxury cruise for lazy kids being pulled around by tired parents. The only added features that my own childhood Radio Flyer wagon had were wobbly wheels and rust. This concept however, called the Cloud 9, has an MP3 player and some other cool features you can use.

Besides of that things you also get a nice speaker system to go with that MP3 player, so you’ll probably be seeing little kids rocking out in no time. The kids can also strap themselves into one of the two bucket seats with a five-point racing harness. Not cool enough? How about a digital display panel with temperature readouts, odometer and speedometer? The Cloud 9 has cupholders too. For juice boxes and sippy cups. Yummmmy.....

Well, should the Cloud 9 become a reality? The cost will be about $1,000. But hey, this thing is really cool huh?

Save Your Pet...The Float-a-Pet

This gadget called The Float-a-Pet collar is a very good idea. For one thing it keeps your pet safe, for another it is so funny to see pet heads floating down Main Street during a flood. This gadget comes with a flashing light so you can locate your pet even in the dark.

Of course dogs can swim on the water, but that doesn’t mean they don’t get tired, just like us. It may not be such a great idea that the flashing light is powered by solar.

It's probably not the best way to power something that is made for emergency night time situations. But with this thing, at least your pet has a chance to become one of many floating heads in a flood situation.
