Char-Broil Grill2Go Ice

Char-Broil 08401504 Grill2Go ICE Portable Gas Grill 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!

Dyson Air Multiplier Table Fan

Dyson Air Multiplier Table Fan 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.

How to Convert Cassette Tapes to MP3s for Free on a Mac

My wife recently was deep cleaning and ran across a few tape cassettes that she remembered she really liked and asked if I could convert or digitize the tapes to MP3s for use in iTunes and on her iPhone. I figured it wasn’t a big deal so I told her I could before I thought through the process (that’s fairly typical for me). In any case, converting tapes to MP3s using a Mac ended up being simple enough. After the jump, you can read my step-by-step how-to on converting cassette tapes to MP3 on a Mac.
