Sharper Image design has come up with the ‘high tech’ way to get rid of mice. No chemicals, poisons or mechanical traps. Instead, this device uses ultrasonic waves that annoy rodents enough to stay away. Just plug it into a wall socket and that’s pretty much it. You can set it so that it only affects rodents such as mice, rats, squirrels and even bats, but not common pets such as cats, dogs and birds. An interesting side note: this product can not be sold in a handful of states; I wonder why…

The fiber optic nightlight from Harriet Carter flashes in multiple colors from a plume of hair-thin fibers. The strands don’t actually move, but the changing colors have an undulating effect, which hopefully can hypnotically induce sleep. Hundreds of delicate strands form a shimmering fan of reds, greens, purples, yellows and whites above the plug-in nightlight.

I’ve always been intrigued with a ceiling of fiber optic stars coming out of the ceiling and am planning on installing a starfield in my home theater being built. While I don’t think starfields fit in everywhere, starfields can be installed in a bar, home theater, master bedroom or even above a jacuzzi for instance. Seems cool to bring a little faux outside inside.

This kit includes the a Fiber Optic Illuminator (which lights the fiber optic), 300 optic fibers each 20 feet long as well as 12 #60 drill bits which can cover up to 785 square feet.

So if your husband/wife/roommate just can’t seem to park in your tiny little 2-car garage very well, and you have to pretend to be Mr. Fantastic (Stretch) from the Fantastic Four to get out of your car, then you need the laser-based guidance system from Daytona Brands. This simple yet effective system integrates into your overhead automatic garage door opener. It replaces the light bulb (although you can get an adapter to continue using the light bulb), and turns on when you open up the garage door shining a bright red light to the same 2 spots each time. You just need to drive your car to the same spot everytime and you’re golden.
