Gadgets

Are you up to your ears in old laptops and tablets? Or maybe you just have a laser that you’d love to sell to someone who will appreciate it as much as you do. Whatever your reason for putting your geeky gadgets on the market, here are just a few places where you’re sure to find buyers.

We all want a nice looking front and backyard for our homes but sometimes time is limited and we can’t maintain it to the standards we want. When I drive around town, I actually enjoy looking at homes and the unique yards. I live in an condominium on the 1st floor so I don’t have much of a yard but I do have a tiny bit of backyard space with a nice patio, a small grass area, and a bunch of bushes and flowers. One way to make my little backyard space stand out in the neighborhood is to install the Playbulb Garden lights.

The only thing I like about winters is that you have a lot of pockets to store stuff. There are some essentials, e.g. phone, credit card and cash, without which you cannot leave home. A slim wallet is ideal for credit cards and cash but you cannot stuff your phone into it.

Scientific studies on sleep have shown that sleep stage at awakening is an important factor in amplifying sleep inertia. Most alarm clocks will produce repeated loud noise resulting in rude awakening. Recently sleep stage monitoring alarm clocks like dawn simulators have appeared that wake people from light sleep.

Over 50 million water bottles were thrown away every day just last year, which is not only a lot of waste but also a huge burden on the environment.  Reusable water bottles can help save the environment and reduce the amount of waste. Due to growing concern over the safety, environmental impact, and cost of disposable plastic water bottles, more people are choosing to re-fill multi-use water bottles.

I remember one instance that I’ll never forget. We were working on a project in a remote area and my co-worker had this brand new smartphone that he adored so much and bragged about it all the time. He was using its apps for almost everything that we needed in the field; from compass, inclinometer to calculator. One morning he tripped and dropped it on a pile of rock and broke its screen that rendered it completely useless. Today when I read about this Urban Armor Gear Case, I thought he would have loved to protect his prized possession by investing another $39.

Nothing spoils your bike ride more than a flat tire in middle of nowhere, but fret no more. Here is probably one of the world’s smallest air pump that can easily fit into your shirt pocket. Weighing only two ounces it will fit most standard bicycle valves. It can also be used to inflate balls. For convenience of transportation a mounting rack is also provided.

Here comes the ultimate eco-friendly ride of the 21st century. It can either be pedaled like a normal bike or on electric charge. The electric charge comes from a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that can be charged while you are riding and pedaling your way to work or be charged via an AC adapter at home in five and a half hours.
