Energizer Hard Case Tactical Flashlight Shoots R, G, B and Infrared


Energizer's latest industrial-grade flashlight will take LEDs to war...or just your next backyard camping trip.

The Energizer Hard Case Tactical Flashlight 2AA features a 70-lumen white LED, along with four additional LEDs including red, blue, green and infrared—a selection of fine lighting choices for incognito map reading or simply an impromptu infiltration disco.

Droppable from 15 feet and including a swiveling head with a range of motion of nearly 180 degrees, it's pretty neat for a flashlight, but it'll set you back $125. And you can call me cheap, but I just don't assassinate world leaders in the dead of night often enough to justify the purchase. [Popular Mechanics via Newlaunches]

A credit card that could literally save your life

A brand new shiny credit card: good. A brand new shiny credit card with an extremely high credit limit: better. A credit card survival tool that can start a fire: priceless (especially in emergency situations). If you're venturing into the wilderness or just your own backyard, it's nice to be well prepared.


This new Tool Logic Survival Card is packed with lifesaving features. A fixed blade serrated knife of tough AUS 8A type stainless steel, a magnesium alloy fire starter, a loud signal whistle, plus a brilliant red LED flashlight. There’s also a tweezer and toothpick and a hole for lanyard attachment. Credit card size and less than two ounces, this essential tool kit deserves a place in your car, backpack and even your home. Keep the Survival Card with you and you’ll always be prepared for life’s unforeseen emergencies.

Nice.


And You Thought *Your* Download Was Long...

4.65 Terabytes. That's how big a baby is. Well, on a T1. Takes 40 weeks to get it to where it's supposed to be. Course, we didn't figure in latency or protocol headers or jitter (Ed. note: never jitter the baby), so it could be a little longer. And if you get an early EOF, the NICU's there for any recovery and whatnot that needs to be done. All joking aside, we wish you and your little one a happy and uneventful pregnancy, and your future geek all the best. And don't sit your tiny wailing banshee next to us at the restaurant. thx.

These are maternity shirts, a 100% cotton combed ringspun jersey in black with the words Loading... Please Wait and a progress bar in white across the belly.

It's a remote control for your lightbulbs

Installing a light-switch often requires pulling wires, cutting drywall, tripping breakers, and soothing electrical burns. Finally, it involves overpaying your cousin who is an electrical contractor. Why should it be so hard to turn off a light without having to walk across the room - particularly now that, with your shiny new lightswitch, you now have to walk to the other side of the room to hit the switch. It's madness!

Our solution is quite simple: create a lightswitch with a remote-control and a device that sits between your lamp and your outlet. It's one of those head-slappingly-simple devices that we love. Kinda like Volkswagens or infinite improbability drives.



Features

Remote-control lightswitch
No-tools installation
Controls lamps up to 60 feet away
Features a dimmer-control and an on/off switch
Includes an optional pop-in/out wall bracket

Whiskey Stones - Lukewarm and wet is the enemy


Whiskey Stones - Lukewarm and wet is the enemy


Real connoisseurs of single-malts like their spirits just so - served at a specific temperature, perhaps a little spring water or simply neat. Sipped gingerly to savor the peaty vanilla goodness, scotch is arguably the finest adult beverage around, and getting the right temperature and dilution can be critical. That's why ice can be troublesome - as it melts, the amount of water increases, diluting the delicate flavor. Our cubes, however, are made of soapstone - freeze them and drop them (gently!) into your highball to keep your drink cool and undiluted. Ah, sweet nectar of life!
