If you’ve been thinking about transforming your physical book library into a digital wonder, and you’ve got the $35,000 to pay for it, the Atiz BookDrive sounds like it will make your life much easier.

The BookDrive will actually turn your pages for you - just insert the book, and you can scan as many pages as you want.

Now here’s definitely an idea whose time has come. The Digital Timer with Removable Remote Beeper really does let you stick that casserole in the oven and forget about it for a while. You can go and do all the other to-do things on your list without the worry that you’ll roam too far to hear your oven timer (well, you can roam at least a 100 feet away.)

Do you rely on a timer to guess when your dinner’s done? Timers are handy, but they can’t necessarily predict exactly how long meat takes to cook, and they often can’t be heard outside the kitchen or barbecue area. But the Digital Timer w/Removable Remote Beeper has a built-in meat thermometer, and it comes with a pager that you can carry in your pocket. When your food is cooked, this oven thermometer will send you a page up to 100 feet away!

This blue faucet light is definitely not a necessity, but it sure does look cool doesn’t it? The faucet light turns your regular bathroom faucet water into blue running water. All you have to do is turn the handle and the light comes on. Sounds easy enough to me and like I said, it looks pretty cool doesn’t it?!

If I had seen the Hot Diggity Dogger Toaster before Valentines Day, it would have been one of my Husband’s gifts. The man absolutely loves hot dogs and would eat them every day if I would let him.

“The Hot Diggity Dogger cooks two hot dogs AND toasts the buns at the same time in just minutes. Works like a toaster, when your hot dogs and buns are fully cooked they pop up. Just add your favorite toppings and enjoy.”

I’ve often dreamt about these. And now here they are, in North America - robotic lawn mowers! You don’t ride them - I guess you just turn them on, go get your drink, and catch some rays while they take care of your grass.

Apparently, they’re so quiet, you can even run them at night. Hmmm. Yeah. Right. Not sure what the Neighbour From Hell would think of that one.

“The LawnBott’s are electric, producing zero-emissions, and quiet, so they can operate any time of day or night and not disturb the neighbors. Small and lightweight, at only 21 lbs. for the Evolution model, they can mow around obstacles and within narrow pathways and cover lawns of up to ¾ of an acre. Once programmed, they will mow your lawn everyday. When the LawnBott starts its cutting cycle, it leaves the docking station and begins to cut the yard in a random pattern, if its battery starts to get low, LawnBott will return to recharge itself without any human intervention!”

Hate cold toast? Love to have people sleep over and toast is on your list of favorite (not to mention easy!) things to prepare?

Enter the Radical Six Part Toaster, designed by Matt Gossington.

Not only is it extremely different looking, and sure to make your overnight guests ask, “what the heck is that?”, you’re able to give people the entire compartment, thereby keeping each person’s toast warm until it’s ready to be eaten.

Well, okay. At least it looks good. Rotates, too, while it’s toasting. What more can you ask for?

This rather scary looking tool definitely looks heavy-duty, but when you take a gander at what it can do, it transmogrifies into a Very Useful Thing.

With features like a 4.5 amp motor, and a 4-inch cut capacity for big branches, this is heavy-duty indeed. And those ferocious looking teeth? They’re for cutting branches in one motion.

If you’re needing a new trimmer and want something that will just plow through your workload, the Black & Decker LP1000 might be the pruner to check out.
