Travel Gadgets

Saturday, July 31st, 2010

I believe that everybody who likes traveling also likes to carry as less as possible with them, thus feeling having a stroll, and not carrying the whole house with them. At the same time, people like to have the comfort they are used to at home, or at least the most of it. This is why people have invented the travel gadgets.

The pocketknife. Useful when you need to cut something, open a can, open a wine bottle or even to eat with, if it comes with a fork attached. The flashlight. Needed especially at night, useful in trains or busses, the flashlight can also help you if you get lost and want to signal your friends the place you find yourself in. The travel mug boiler. Good in the morning, for your daily coffee, to give you energy for the day. Universal adapter. Not a good plug for your charger and not comfortable without your phone working? Then do not forget at home your universal adapter, and you are going to adapt yourself quite well. Gorillapod. Now that you have charged your batteries and are ready to take pictures, use your gorillapod to be able to take pictures of any corner, from any place, as far from your reach as it seems.




Mosquito net. There are so many mosquitoes buzzing you into the night, not letting you to sleep. So build your screen in just a few moments, for a night full of quite sleep. Solar powered backpack. Not wanting to let your laptop home when going in a short travel? Need to carry not just it, but something else, too? Then put your laptop into this bag, let the sun do all the work to charge its battery, and enjoy your trip for the day. Luggage scales. Are you going to travel by plane? Have you bought too many souvenirs and you do not know how much your luggage weighs? Then the digital luggage scales, so mini and simple to carry are the right choice for you. Security wallets. Whether you need cash or you want to use your credit card, a safe wallet is always a must. Do not forget it at home and you will have a no-worries travel wherever you go.



MP3 player. If you are not used to silence and you are just getting bored in the bus or train, then listen to some music on your MP3 player. They come in very small shapes, allow you to listen to music directly from the SD card and equipped with a battery, these travel gadgets just make your world less boring. The ten travel gadgets listed above do not, however, include all the gadgets needed in a business trip, but they are there on the market, ready to be used.

Coolest Craft

Saturday, July 31st, 2010

Art is not just that part of our life that makes us feel surrounded by beauty; it is also the part of our personalities that comes from our imagination and creativeness. And all of us can be creative and imaginative and make something beautiful with a little bit of help, too. Nowadays, there are all sorts of kits for crafts on the market, and all we need to do is to buy them and then be creative.
<-300×250 Medium Rectangle – center->
I will not deal here with the kits for craft, but with the three most beautiful crafts – in my opinion – that can become very original. One of the first crafts and quite old, let’s say, is the embroidery. Your grandmother used to do it and her mother as well. Why not you, too? All you need is a pencil, if you are a beginner, your favourite cloth or why not sheet or shirt, a little bit of patience and imagination. And of course, needle and thread. No matter what colour you want. Slowly with the pencil make a drawing – whatever drawing you want – on the desired piece of cloth and then begin sewing, nice and easy, as colourful as you want, until it comes to an end. What a piece of work you have done here! I bet your little girl would like an embroidered bunny on her skirt and your little boy a nice car on his T-shirt!




Not into needle and thread kind of person? More into paper? You know to origami, but you would like to try something different? Try some Quilling!  You have, in your toolkit, everything that you need: paper cut into the desired size and the quilling instrument, to help you roll the paper better. When you have your round shape in front of you, begin to shape it. Oval, rhomb-shaped, tear-shaped, use your imagination. You have more shapes than one or two? It’s better, because now you can do others from them: an animal, a flower or a butterfly, or why not a beautiful landscape on a card for your best friend? Or maybe a nice picture of your pet, ready to be hung on the wall.



Too much of a headache for you? Too much time spent on doing this? Would you like to create something useful, maybe a jewelry, but not spending all of your free time on that? Could be more expensive to buy, but try a special microwave, take the glass kit you need and go working! Create your desired design, shape and colours, put it into the microwave, and then while cooling down, go for a walk with your friends. When you come home, you will find your glass jewelry ready to put on a lace or a chain and then to be worn or gifted to your friends. Are these cool crafts for you? Are these new to you? Feel free to leave a comment and expand on the subject! I will be glad to try new crafts!

Future gadgets: future cars

Saturday, July 31st, 2010

The future car concept, the 918 Spyder, is supposed to be one of the fastest (if not THE fastest) hybrid electric car on the market. Most people don’t believe that a car which can go from 0-60 in under 3.2 seconds might also be eco-friendly, but the Porsche automakers beg to differ. This unique ride can reach tops speeds of 200 mph and gets a massive 78 miles per gallon – double the quantity most compact cars achieve on a good day.
<-300×250 Medium Rectangle – center->
This speed demon is charged by a 3.4 liter V8 engine which comes equipped with a lithium ion battery pack that can be charged from almost anywhere, as well as any time you hit the breaks. The pricing will be certainly in the 6 digit field (near the $500,000 mark), and is not likely to be scheduled for sale on the market for at least another year, probably closer to 2012 or 2013. Future cars will have many advantages from these technological innovations and the overall quality of usual day-to-day cars will be improved.




Nissan has also joined the race to produce and put up for sale the first practical electric car. Nissan Leaf, as they named it, is projected to achieve up to 100 miles per battery charge with a top speed of 75 mph. The leaf is a pure electric car that runs on lithium-ion batteries and can hold up to 5 passengers. The battery is anticipated to completely recharge within 8-16 hours, depending on the wattage of the outlet.



The target economies for car are the United States, Europe, and Japan. The starting price for this ground-breaking sedan will be somewhere between $25-30,000, much less than its prestige adversary, the Tesla Model S which costs $58,000 and debuts in 2012. The new Scion iQ, Toyota’s next extremely anticipated car is hoping to break through in the U.S. come the end of 2010/early 2011. This new mini car is theoretically more eco-friendly, and capable to achieve almost 55 miles per gallon. The new look is definitely the best part of the new Scion. The previous Scions have always been quite boxy looking with not as much appeal, but this one seems to have a much better design.

The iQ will be able to sit 3 people, 2 in the front and 1 smaller individual in the back. The price is estimated to be about $15,000 and over 25,000 orders have already been fulfilled. Scion’s area of focus will be Europe and Japan. There seem to be more than a few designers and universities around the globe that have successfully designed cars that can drive themselves, without any real human intervention. Some of these cars have been able to navigate through lanes, follow traffic signs, make U-turns, and even avoid obstacles. Some scientists predict that by the year 2020 our roads will be operated by driverless cars. The objective of these new cars is to prevent traffic jams.




Each of these cars use a camera, lasers, and GPS sensors that shoot out light beams which can detect reflections, thus determining the distance from the obstacles.
