The RadarGolf System uses BPS (Ball Positioning System) technology to help locate lost golf balls, which can save time and money.

The system is made up of 3 parts; a handheld, specialized RadarGolf balls and a Shield-It pouch.

The handheld transmits a targeted radio frequency that works in conjunction with the balls. When the ball in play detects the signal, it sends out a return signal to the handheld (which is already tuned in to “listen” for any signals coming from that ball).

Should you lose the ball, the handheld’s LCD’s signal strength indicators and a pulsed audio tone provide feedback on the lost ball’s distance and direction. As you get closer to your ball, the signal gets stronger.

You just have to be careful because the handheld can detect all RadarGolfballs, whether they’re in your golf bag, cart, pocket or otherwise. So it’s important to keep all non-play balls in the Shield-It pouch, which is designed with a special metallic fabric that blocks radio frequency signals. This ensures the handheld focuses only on the game ball.

You might wonder what effect all this technology has on the performance of the ball, but the embedded microchip is so small and has no power source, so makers claim it doesn’t affect your game in any way.

Balls are USGA conforming and meet all the guidelines for size, weight, distance, symmetry and initial velocity. Balls are also tested for durability and performance factors such as distance, carry, roll, and dispersion accuracy.

Just when you thought you’ve seen it all when it comes to grill accessories… a new, crazy one comes out.  If, for some reason, you want your meatballs to taste like grilled hamburger meat, then the Meatball Grill Basket is for you. The stainless steel basket has space for 12 meatballs and has open holes that allow for fat drain and smoke soaking.  It’s very simple to use as well.  It opens up for loading and unloading the food, while the long handle makes it easy to flip.  So, whatever food you like that’s shaped like a golf ball, the Meatball Grill Basket now makes it easy to grill with.

Recently wife purchased a computer system and along with the store threw in a “cheap” printer. What I have begun to realize is that nothing is free, or in my case really cheap.

The cost to consumers today for printing is not the printer itself, but the highly expensive print cartridges that seem to run out quite often. Many electronic companies are realizing this.

Dell has released a printer called the WasabiTM PZ310 Photo printer. In addition to being completely wireless (using Bluetooth technology), Dell advertises this printer as being Zero-Ink (i.e. no expensive ink cartridges are required).

The printer uses AmorphochromicTM Crystals inside ZINK PaperTM to produce the image. The only cons I see to the design is the available paper sizes are not large. Hopefully producing a Zero ink “photo” printer is only the first step to getting rid of those pesky and costly ink cartridges.
Specifications

If your like me and your tired of spending money on batteries for yet another remote control, then the “Shake Control” is the device for you.

As indicated by its name, this remote control is powered by simply shaking the remote control. When the remote control is shaken, electromagnetic induction generates a 20-30mA current. Shaking the controller not only generates electricity but also controls the channels, on/off switch, the volume and other menus.

I am well known as the “zapper” in my house because of my rapid channel changing. Based on the amount of shaking I will have to do to change the channels, I expect that this device will add a lot of muscle to my arms.
Specifications

• Eco friendly, green concept
• Batteries: none
• Power: generated by a moving magnet within a coil
• Designers: Lee Sung Hoon, Kang Sooyeon, Cho Eun Bee, Lee Junehwa and Kim Jean
• Availability: unknown, concept design

It would be great if every piece of furniture you sanded was large and flat. But since that isn’t always the case, there’s the 120-volt Octo Sander by Skil.

This multi-finishing tool is equipped with a 3-position nose and 8 sanding attachments for convenience and flexibility when sanding.

Use it to get in to tight spaces where other sanders can’t reach, inside cabinet corners or shelving, sand flat surfaces or tackle more complex curved areas like crown molding and stair rails. No more having to wrap sandpaper around your fingers, palm or pencil to get that great finish.
