  February 25, 2009 / PORTABLES, Portable Power

  The Solio Portable Solar Power device is an interesting gadget. It is folded in a magnesium casing and when needed fans out to collect the rays from the sun.

Using the adjustable suspension system in the front and rear, it offers riders great off-roading capabilities with 6” of travel on each end. Powered by the powerful Go-Ped® GP460RS engine has a top speed of 30mph. The [...]

  February 23, 2009 / STYLE, Watches

  This Breitling watch has always fascinated me as it has a tiny antenna that unscrews from the bottom of the watch face and can signal a search and rescue team.

It broadcasts for 48 hours and after that you are on your own like Tom Hanks! Over [...]
