Next time you take a trip up to your lake house, you’ll most likely spend the first few days there waiting for the FedEx guy to arrive with your lovely new Iceberg climbing wall. Sure you just dropped $5400 on a 20-foot high climbing wall that floats in a lake, but think of the fun you’ll have when you and your pals get drunk! I don’t know. What do you think? Would you rather have this or a Sea-Doo Jet Ski?
Paranoid pet owners rejoice! No longer should you fear scenarios such as biblical floods. With this collar you and your dog will be prepared for anything. Remarkably, the collar is illuminated by LEDs around the neck to make finding your pet during the nighttime an ease. This feature is solar-powered, however, so at night it might not even work. Bummer.
More importantly, the collar features a safety function in the form of an integrated humidity sensor that detects moisture and, in the event that your pet is submerged in water, automatically triggers on board CO2 cartridges that turn the collar in to a flotation device. Why rely on Noah and his cruddy ark when we could just equip these collars on two of every animal on our planet?
Swimming pool gadgets are the best kind of gadgets. Unfortunately, not all of them can keep people who lack buoyancy afloat. Fortunately, for the lethargic, the “PC of the Swim-Rings” has a flotation device around the computers base which is reminiscent of a LifeSaver candy. The amphibious PC is fitted with a solar power driven processor, water-cooling system, GPRS receiver, Bluetooth wireless solutions, finger-touch input, magnetic charging interface and it’s even water-proof (go figure).
It could be used as a desktop for in-home use, but where’s the fun in that? At the moment the “PC of the Swim-Rings” is only a concept. A concept that, by the sound of the specs, is said to be better geared than any PC I’ve ever owned.

Listening to music while relaxing in your swimming pool just got a whole lot easier. Neiman Marcus’ website is selling a floating wireless speaker for $150, which includes the base and one speaker. Any additional speakers would be an extra $100. The speakers are able to go up to 9-feet underwater for up to 30 minutes, just in case you dive on top of one. But no worries, as they can “swim” better than most people, as they won’t stay submerged. With 150 feet wireless range and up to 6 hours of battery life, the floating speaker is the perfect gadget on a sunny day by your pool.
