There aren’t too many things that taste as yummy as a freshly grilled burger or hotdog on a warm summer day. Strangely, I have a charcoal grill in my garage that has barely been used though. Every time I think about using it, I change my mind because I don’t want to drag it out

The Rosendahl Tea Ball is an interestingly designed tea infuser made of stainless steel and Black nylon. Pressing the button on the narrow end opens a spoon that can be filled with tea. Let go of the button to close it back up and place in hot water.
Ok, it’s not really a can opener, but it looks like one. Sorta. Kinda. The Zipit is a motorized plastic clamshell package opener from ThinkGeek. It’s an interesting concept, but I think I still prefer the manual Zibra Open It shears. These might be good for people with poor hand strength though.

Over three years ago, I reviewed the original Sleeptracker watch which claimed to help a person wake more refreshed, by waking them at the perfect time during their sleep cycle. It didn’t work well for me, but there are a lot of people that swear by it. Those people will be happy to learn that

Besides daydreaming about taking a nap while you’re at work, have you given much thought about pillows lately? Yeah, me neither.
