Forget going to the gym to save the environment. If you’ve got the equipment, why not put it to good use by modding an exercise bike to chill and heat stuff simultaneously for your own benefit? This guy did it and now look at him, he’s shredding pounds and chilling beers.

That’s right, the integrated pair of copper wires that are connected to the whole pedal assembly can both chill or heat a refreshing beverage. In the morning, both coffee and beer are a great refreshment during routine exercise. So why not drink both simultaneously? It’d be like drinking Sparks without that Robitussin taste in your mouth.

As much as I love cuddling up underneath a big, fluffy, warm (and occasionally USB powered) blanket when a chill fills my gadget-loving bones, the inability to cover my whole body while I play around with my devices deters me from keeping myself warm. Slanket has holes for your arms, which allows you to stay completely cuddled and still play with your gadgets.

Whether you be a gamer with your PSP, or a texter with your iPhone, the Slanket accommodates you with two cleverly placed arm holes for full gadget access. Get yours for $50. — Andrew Dobrow
