Football season is here at last after hybernating over the spring and summer months, the old pigskin is flying again! Football season begets tailgate season and every year innovative tailgating products are introduced including this Char-Broil gas grill from the Grill2Go series that includes a couple of coolers that you attach to the bottom shelf of the grill to provide a restful and cool place for your tasty beverages.

Furthermore, the Grill2Go Ice has a collapsible design with 2 wheels and a lift-and-lock mechanism similar to rolling luggage with a stay-cool lid handle for easy transport. The removable coolers are each 30-quart coolers while the grill can cool burgers, sausages, brats and ribs over a 290 square inch area. The only downside I see is that the grill collapsed does not include the propane tank so you’ll need to make sure you bring along a strong friend that can carry that!

Skullcandy has modified the headphone and earbud industry with incredibly designed and great sounding music ear wear. The Holua Wooden earbuds are popular among those who are lucky enough to own a pair as reviews appear typically between the 4-5 star mark (out of 5) on the various sites the geeks have checked.

The earbuds are quite stylish “sporting wood” with laser cut aluminum accents all wrapped up in a matching wooden carrying box. The wood is said to have enhanced the sound of the earbuds. The earbud wears comfortably with an inducing foam earbud cover and is equipped with a pair of 8mm diameter small size driver units that fit just within the ear canal creating a snug seal for 200mW of input from a 3.5″ gold plated stereo plug.

If your digital camera can’t keep up with your weekend life, check out the Pentax Optio W90 adventure-proof digital camera. That’s right, adventure-proof as this camera is waterproof to 20 feet for underwater photography or rafting down the Colorado (JIS Class 8 waterproof), shockproof to 4 feet to withstand extreme use, dustproof for use in dry and sandy climate (JIS Class 6 dustproof) and coldproof to sub-freezing temperatures for snowboarding or ice climbing (14-104F)!

With adventure-proof features, you’d expect a big cased camera, but the Pentax Optio W90 is only 4.2 x 2.3 x 1″ weighing in with battery at 5.7 ounces sporting reinforced polycarbonate plastic available in black, pistachio green and orange.

Not only does this camera look and act tough, but the digital camera performs with a 12.1MP sensor and a 5x wide angle optical zoom to cover subjects nearby or far-away (like a bear you decide you’d rather zoom in on than get closer to). Additionally, the W90 includes an LED lens lighting feature for macro photography (Pentax calls it Digital Microscope mode). The digital camera also records video with 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio and can playback video via HDMI on HDTV in 720p HD video at 30 frames per second.

Adventure photography does not get more compact and tough than this!

Video eyewear company, Vuzix, has a new model in their Wrap line of video glasses, the Wrap 310XL. Here’s our full review after taking this pair for a test run. (By the way, we’re giving away this pair, so read on to find out how to enter to win!)

First of all, what exactly are these? Well if you’re not familiar with Vuzix, they produce video eyewear for entertainment, military and medical purposes. In the entertainment field, it’s mainly to get video to your eyes from a pair of glasses that look very much like sunglasses. Think VR eyewear. Read on for the rest of the review.

Dyson is known for creating a unique vacuum cleaner with a ball but now they have worked to revolutionize the conventional fan. The Dyson Air Multiplier fans work differently from conventional fans. Using an airfoil-shaped ramp (like a cross-section through an airplane wing), airflow is amplified from 15 to 18 times depending on the model. This creates a smooth, powerful airflow, with no need for fast-spinning blades.

First air is drawn in at a rate up to 5.28 gallons of air per second by an energy-efficient brushless motor. Next the air is accelerated through an annular aperture as it passes over a 16 degree airfoil-shaped ramp to channel its direction. Air behind the fan is then drawn into the airflow though inducement. Additionally, air is entrained from around the machine into the airflow amplifying it 15 times.

With no blades or grille, they’re safe and easy to clean. And they produce an uninterrupted stream of smooth air, with no unpleasant buffeting.

I can’t believe the Geeks have never featured Mindflex Brainwave Game. I had to perform a couple of searches to make sure and sure enough, we haven’t.

Mindflex’s Brainwave Game is the closest game we have on Earth to demonstrating Jedi powers as the game is powered by your brainwave activity. Mindflex uses a variation of EEG technology to “read” the intensity of these brainwaves via sensors positioned on your forehead and ears. These sensors do not generate or interfere with brainwaves; they only read what is already there.

Once the Mindflex headset recognizes your brainwaves, it transmits a signal to a fan within the console. This fan controls ball levitation. Your brainwaves, in turn, control the power of the fan. The more effectively you concentrate, the stronger the fan blows and the higher the ball floats. Relaxing your mind relaxes the fan’s airflow, which lowers the ball.

I’ve played the Mindflex and while apparently I can concentrate at a high level causing the fan under the ball to shoot the ball skyward, I really had issues relaxing enough to lower the ball. We really had fun working the Mental Marathon game.

Why debate the existence of God with a fish emblem attached to the back of your car when you can show your support for the religion known around the world as Star Trek and pray on the Alter of Roddenberry with this Star Trek Fish Car Emblem.

The Star Trek: The Next Generation Technical Manual (pages 63, 65 and 66) states that the experiments with single and more than two nacelle designs, conducted in 2269, proved that having two nacelles is the optimal configuration for vessel control and power generation as represented by this chrome fish with dual warp nacelles.

So boldly go and proclaim your love for all things Trek. Lament that your car doesn’t have an anti-matter warp core, or is armed with photon torpedoes!
