Say Goodbye to the Hottest Decade Ever, Say Hello to the Next Hottest Decade Ever
So as it turns out, scientists might not just be blowing smoke when it comes to all of this global warming hubbub. The average Earth temperature climbed a full 0.2 degrees C, making it the hottest decade on record. And the ’10s are almost certainly going to be hotter than the Noughties, say scientists. Will the ’10s bring even more environmental awareness than the ’00s? We sure hope so. Link
Rubik’s Cube Alarm Clock Not As Challenging As It Could Have Been
While I applaud the concept of mashing together the classic design of Rubik’s Cube and the iconic gadgetry of alarm clocks, I’ve got to admit a slight disappointment that turning off the alarm doesn’t entail actually solving the puzzle. Would the complete and utter frustration be worth the ultimate geek cred you’d obtain with one of these things at your bedside? Despite the lacking of actual Rubik’s-like movement, the alarm clock brings the thunder with the added functionality of temperature,... Continue reading

Temperature Sweater
Call it a radical departure from the usual material on our site but I like the concept of the Temperature Sweater. With an embedded LCD on the sleeve, you’ll know when it’s getting cold enough to wear a sweater. One sleeve displays the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit whilst the other displays Celsius like a true working thermometer. Concept? Sure, but you could easily make one with an hour and an Arduino.

For The Love Of God, Let It Be Summer Weather
With this gadget, I think we have a case of the AMX Thermostat mixed with the Undress Me Mug. Some people plan for the weather by watching the news and planning complex and ornate alternate plans for each possible weather condition, including an assortment of outfits laid out for the morning. I, on the other hand, just take a look out the window and see how the passing woman are dressed. The Stripping Weathergirl Weather Station works on the same... Continue reading
