USB Typewriter Computer Kit for Your Modern Writer

You can’t replace the feeling of sitting at a typewriter and feeling the weight of each key like a true writer. The upside of using a USB typewriter vs. a real typewriter is you save a bunch of trees and editing your work is much easier.  Just pull up your latest draft on Word and type away your editor’s suggestions or not.  Ignore your editor, keep going in the direction you were thinking from the start.  The usbtypewriter Etsy shop has got you covered in that front.

Solar Powered Generator

During our recent close call with Hurricane Isaac vs. South Florida I considered not having power for weeks at a time.  Not being able to have perishable food and living off canned goods is not the brightest of prospects.  So when I stumbled upon this Solar Power Generator I got so excited!  Excited for so many reasons!  First off, after a hurricane, getting gas is a mix of an adventure with a dash of luck.  Fighting at the pump and waiting in lines that stretch miles is the worst.  However, this generator charges with direct sunlight and after it being fully charged (20 hours) it can run a fridge for 4 days. Woohoo, no lines at the gas station! Also, it will keep recharging while you use it.  You just plug in its 8′ cords to the panels outside and you are good to go.  Secondly, this generator does not emit dangerous and toxic fumes.  Finally, this generator can also be charged by plugging it to your outlet in 16 hours so that you can be prepared before the storm hits.

Collecting Cool Headphones

There is something about finding a nice pair of headphones.   They make you want to listen to music, practice your electronic drum set or simply immerse yourself in your own thoughts. We couldn’t stop ourselves  from building a headphone collection and it has come in very handy. For example, we never board a plane without noise canceling headphones and have survived crying-baby-snoring-passenger flights.  Now if we could find the equivalent to a smell canceling device we’d all be golden :)  Anyhoo, here are come cool headphones we recently stumbled upon: 1. Panasonic RP HTX7 Headphones, 2. Star Wars Headphones, 3. Marshall Major Headphones, 4. Urbanears ‘Plattan’ Headphones Red, 5.  Skullcandy Aviator Headphones, 6. Opportunity Rocks Headphones in Hardwood
