Sports Cars.

A thought just ran through my mind as was looking at pictures of my next car, I've got a pretty counter eco friendly taste in cars. For most people out there it'd probably be something along the lines of a hybrid or highly fuel efficient car, and even though i am guilty of wanting cars in these categories, nothing has really sparked my interest like a nice mid-size SUV. Gah, the mileage might not agree but dang, something about driving an SUV that makes life easier. Not just that, SUVs look pretty beast. GMC recently released a new model and oh my goodness do I want!

The GMC Terrain.

yummy!

Don't be fooled by how badass it looks, this is a Mid Size SUV, Roughly the same size as the Infiniti Qx4 (which I drive). 3 Liter V6 260hp! VROOM VROOM VROOOOOM! It gets about 22city/34hwy with it's 4cylinder model so i'm guessing it'll be about 19city/30hwy on it's V6 model.  Dang, there's something about it's design that just screams out my name, probably cause it looks like it's covered in armored. Built my own full package model using the GMC website and it'll cost me about $35,000 tax included. But of course, I'm not going to get a new car until my baby dies in another 160k miles!

Power! More Power!

Gears & Gadgets #2: Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K750

Welcome to another edition of Gears & Gadgets.

Okay, what is the deal with keyboards these day and why do companies keep making new models when most current wired keyboard never fail. Just years ago, we were using this plug:

Literally called a PS2 connector.

Then people started switching to USB. Eventually, people were forced by companies to buy one of these (PS2 to USB adapters).

Next thing you know it, we go wireless (via bluetooth or radio frequency). Most of these use batteries. So then we switch from using lame batteries to rechargeable "green" batteries. This method saved us money, but the process of taking the battery out, recharging them, and having to do the entire push here and there to connect your keyboard is such a hassle. Trust me I owned quite a few of these.

So what is next, since we are going green and making everything less clutter and slim. The only option is to use a clean rechargeable power source. Nuclear Power! wait... Wind Power!...Oh Solar Power! Why didn't anyone make these solar power keyboard back in the late 90s, those TI calculators had these years ago. So now we have concluded that it's all about money!

Anyway, enough history, here it is. Video of unboxing below. Price goes for $79.99, but Amazon is kind enough to drop it to $59.99 with free shipping. Got 4.5 stars and over 100 reviews on Amazon.

So pick up this bad boy and use it. Heard 3 months without charging (lights off). Heck of a long time.

Gears & Gadgets #1: Gun O'Clock

I'm starting a new series of posts, but will try to continue my previous series on Men lifestyle/fashion (which I neglected for a while, will post something tomorrow).

Anyway came across this awesome gadget and well, I think it would suit a few of you. It's called the Gun O'Clock, an amazing alarm clock that let you shoot some sort of laser Wii gun to turn off the alarm in the morning. You must hit the target three times otherwise the alarm will keep going off. The gadget come with a steep price $89 and it should get your brain active long enough to keep you from going back to sleep. Enjoy!

Here is the video for it:



Here is where to get it:
