Howdy! Thanks for logging in!
So it's time to switch topics. I thought we would explore new household technology for a hot minute.
I've noticed that one of the areas of our lives that advances the fastest is home technology. Just when we get the newest thing bought for our home, the next newest thing is coming along.
Such as this sweet little invention:
http://www.frontgate.com/set-of-two-audiobulb-wireless-speaker-light-bulbs/399794?SourceCode=ZZ50896&cm_mmc=SEM%20Product-_-Google-_-keyword=wireless+light+bulb+speaker-_-Wireless%20Audio%20Bulbs
How 'bout a lightbulb that is also a bluetooth speaker? Heck yeah. Walk into the room, let my bluetooth on my phone find my lightbulb / speaker, play my tunes straight from my phone wirelessly. To my lightbulb. Maybe yall aren't understanding just how cool this is!
So your task this week is to go out on the internets and find something cool for your house (it must be technology related) and come back and post a link here, along with your OPINION. Please don't cut and paste description, we can all read TYVM. As always when we do this kind of thing. you may NOT use a link that has already been posted.
Talk to me . . .

Channel Vision In-Ceiling Theater Package with Angled Speakers
The speakers are maid to go on top of the ceiling and have high quality stereo functions. They can be angled to fit any room and last a very long time. I found this cool cause now you can play music through the wholehouse for everyone to here.

This is the alternative of getting a dog to guard your house. You can roam your house a check on everything. This would be great if the price tag wasn't 2500$!!!!!!

I really like this! It's a new design for cooking that uses magnets to heat the pan. It uses less energy and the cooking surface doesn't stay completely cool but it stays cooler, so you're less likely to burn yourself or leave something on there and turn it on and catch it on fire.

I think this floor plan light switch is really cool. You don't have to walk to a certain room to turn the lights off, you can do it from one place. It seems so much easier than multiple light switches everywhere.

http://www.electronichouse.com/productnews#3d I THINK THIS NEW PIONEER/IPAD AMPLIFIER WILL MAKE THE MUSIC PLAYING AROUND THE HOUSE MORE COOL. THIS PARTICULAR PIECE HAS AIRPLAY BUILT INTO IT. IT DISPLAYS MORE FUNCTIONS THAN THE REGULAR AMP FOR HOME THEATER SYSTEMS- I LIKE IT! -TUTT 1ST
You shold look at this little magical "fireplace" It magicly turns from a ceramic column into a transparent one. It serves as a heater in any office or room. I would love this under my desk at home or in the bathroom when i sake a bath. THis little thing is just soothing.

http://www.household-gadgets.com/automatic-kitchen-trash-can.html
This is a trash can that uses an infared sensor that detects your approach and opens when you are about six inches away. It will stay open for about 3 seconds after you have dropped the garbage then it will close itself. While this is an interesting idea for a hands free system; the foot pedal operated cans are much more sensible and dont require batteries.

I really like the wifi electronic scale. It has the ability to record your weight lose or gain through your personal website and updates you on things that you need to do to accomplish your goal.
Meagan McG-4th
There is now a transparent TV. Its really cool because you can maybe built it into a wall so you can see trough the other side of the room. Or you could even use it as a window but youd have to make it water proof or something like that. It produces solid colors just like any other TV.

Someone took my idea but i found something else. The LED Ceiling is pretty cool. You use this laser to turn on the ceiling and you can make the lights shape into anything you want. Basically you are painting a light picture.

"AT&T on Monday unveiled its new home security platform, which allows security companies to sell automated home protection services. Using AT&T's network and software, a home security customer could control their heat, locks, lights, oven and security cameras using an iPad."
I think that's pretty cool being able to do that. Since they have the similar technology of turning on your car from your phone/ipad, why not do more with that similarity with your home.

Its under the pool and spa tab, but i think its really cool that you can control your pool from your phone. Soppose you had a bad day at work and want to go relax in the hotub so you just use your phone to tell the hot tub to start warming up. Its really conveniate so that you dont have to wait for it to heat up, its already warm when you get home.

It's a piece of tech that allows you to turn that 10 year old wine, into an older wine, in a matter of seconds. Theoretically, you could make 100 year old wine in a matter of days. This is good for th over 21 crowd who might have a liking for older wines but may not have the budget

THis isn't high tech or what all, but I find it very useful and I want one. At my house we have about fifty billion different cooking implements that are a supreme hassle to store and this set would be useful to me because it has three spatulas, a mixer, and a pasta spoon that all use one handle. No, it isn't like some hydra kitchen tool, but rather one that has removable heads. You can move between stirring your pasta to flipping over meatballs just by clicking on a different end to the handle. I like it lots :3

Isnt it annoying when your ipod/phone runs out of batteries. Well now, with the sofa phone charger, you can lounge around all day (24-7 if you want) and never have to wait or get up to cahrge your phone. The ultimate lazy innovation.

I think this technology would be cool to use in the home. Lighting has always been a problem in every house we have moved into and to have just an extra bit of lighting would be nice. The pureness lamp also looks a bit more futuristic giving it a better looking concept.

I have never seen furniture like this before..A couch, tv, and cd collection shelf all in one.

Intelligent lighting can identify if someone is in the room and dims or turns of the lights. You can control ur lighting settings through your phone. this is cool because if you are lazy like me you dont want to move your hands that much and turn them on the old borring way.

Also, the dial on the front show what kind of device is in so you know what's there instead of unplugging the wrong device. We've all been through it, and it's poo. Just saying.
