Fitbit - Automatically Track Your Fitness and Sleep

Did I get enough exercise today? How many calories did I burn? Am I getting good quality sleep? How many steps and miles did I walk today? The Fitbit Tracker helps you answer these questions.

This seems to be a really cool device to help you track certain components of your health. In this day and age, everyone is so busy that we need a little help in managing health. Sounds like a really cool product.

Sweet DIY

I think I want to add more D-I-Y projects to my mental to-do list. I love making stuff. I stumbled upon this today and thought it was sweet.

A blue LED clock that you can make yourself.

Check it out and the other stuff at makezine.com.

From the site:

“With the LEDkit™ solderless clock kit, you create a giant — 9″ x 5″ — super bright self-standing clock only 1/8″ thick that keeps accurate time — even during power failures up to 1 minute.

Your finished clock will change brightness at the push of a button, the digits fade smoothly when the time changes, and you can automatically synchronize multiple clocks.”

Umbrella Revolution!

Nubrella in action.

Can you say, “Frickin’ Sweet?” Nubrella is an umbrella that completely covers your upper half. The thing that makes it amazing is this: it has straps to make it hands-free! Amazing.

Nubrella.com

Nubrella is no ordinary umbrella, it stops rain, wind, snow and extreme cold - and keeps your head, face and shoulders drier than ever. It offers more protection, guaranteed!

Yet, nubrella went one step further and is changing the game forever. With nubrella’s new patent pending “shoulder straps” and “offset handle” you can now be completely hands free!

The Ultimate Ear Buds

500 XL

“Sometimes bigger IS really better, especially when it comes to sound. That’s why we took a puny pair of earbuds, put them in Fred’s highly technical Way Big machine, and created 500XL—it’s 500 times the size of the original!”

Bigger is always better. These are better.
