If you want to keep track of information at a glance, then you might like the Ambient Orb Device. Although your visitors may think you have a visitor from outer space, the orb will help you keep track of stocks, the pollen count, an important person on instant messenger, or the local weather changes.

The amazing Ambient Orb device is a glass ball capable of glowing in a thousand different color combinations. For example, if your stocks are up, the orb will glow green. If your investments are stable, it will produce a yellow light. Likewise, it will turn red if things take a downward turn.

Similarly, maybe you would like to keep track of weather changes. The Ambient Orb Device can let you know what is coming in the skies with just a glance. Rain or shine, your orb will let you know how to dress for the day.

Without being hocked up to a computer, once programmed, the orb only needs to be plugged into a standard outlet. It has 3 brightness level settings, and the lights will also pulse, if important information is available that you need to check further.

You have had one of three choices: take his/her keys away, be the designated driver, or just hope you are wrong and your friend makes it home safely. Now, you have a forth option: The Alcohawk Digital Alcohol Detector.

Now, you do not have to take the change of your friend being stopped by the police, getting into an accident or hurting someone else. In many states, a host can be held liable if someone drives under the influence and hurts themselves or someone else.

With a breath sample and a beep, you can quickly determine whether your guest is sober enough to drive home. If the sample shows intoxication, take the keys or offer a blanket and pillow for a sleepover.

Before someone gets pulled over or gets into an accident, be proactive. If you have a friend who risks the possibility of driving under the influence of alcohol, or you occasionally like to have a drink or two yourself, then the Alcohawk is the gadget for you. Thinkgeek(see right side banner) sells at $45.

With the former vice president receiving a Nobel Prize for energy conservation and the rising cost of utilities, more people are thinking "green". In other words, why not put natural resources to good use.
For example, if you want a nightlight or outdoor lighting that will cost you no more than the initial investment at the store, you may be very interested in Sun and Moon Jars.

While other jars jams and jellies, your jar holds a rechargeable source of energy and light. At no cost to you or the environment, you simply put the jar under the sun during the day. The old-fashioned canning styled jar will then glow yellow or blue at night, depending on whether you chose the Sun or Moon Jar.

Now, you have a safe nightlight for a child's room. You do not have to worry about them going near a plug in, or the dangers associated with a possible short in the middle of the night. Simply put a Moon or Sun Jar on the nightstand, and your youngster will enjoy the warm, comforting glow as her/she drifts off to sleep.

Similarly, if you want to enjoy the cool night air without the harshness of a porch light, you can use a Sun or Moon Jar as a permanent decoration for your outdoors. Absorbing the solar energy during the day, the Sun or Moon jar will give you relaxing and peaceful light in the evening, at absolutely no additional cost to you or the environment.

These days, it seems that wireless Bluetooth headsets are a dime a dozen, but Aliph’s Jawbone stands apart from the pack not only due to its unique looks but also thanks to some seriously amazing noise canceling technology.

This version comes in black, but it’s also available in red and gray.

Its features are :

*Advanced, military-grade noise-canceling system continuously adapts adapts to your environment
*Award-winning modern industrial design by Yves Behar
*Can be worn on either ear; includes four earloops and five earbuds for custom fit

Jawbone can be worn on either ear, and you can customize your fit by choosing an earloop and earbud from the several shapes and sizes provided.
