My clock radio wakes me up every morning just around the time the guy from NPR delivers the weather forecast. Invariably, though, I smack the snooze button and never hear if it’s going to be rain or shine. But I don’t have that problem anymore now that Brookstone’s WeatherCast Alarm Clock is perched by my bed. It streams weather information from accuweather.com wirelessly and without a subscription fee. I can push the snooze alarm all I want but the customizable time and weather is always displayed on the 3 X 4.5 inch LCD. With the touch of a button I can switched between the five day forecast or today’s current weather with temperature and weather forecasts for the next 24-hour period broken out in four 6-hour chunks.

Hey, will you take a look at this device? If your mind blows crazy about all kind of seaside activities (such as swimming or surfing) then you may find the Shark Shield Device potentially useful. This weird cable emits some kind of electric fields in order to keep the Great White at a respectable distance from you (or your boat). The bad news - it’s still under testing and the results are not so inspiriting so far. During some tests off the coast of South Australia the device failed due to a problem with an electrode and was smashed into pieces by a ferocious big shark. Luckily, the Shark Shield was attached to a float, not to a human living body. (Read the full post about ‘Shark Shield Device may save your ass’…)

It looks like a front door key but it is in fact a cunningly disguised bottle opener. This can make you look very cool at parties when people think you are using a real key and can’t work out why their shed key doesn’t quite do it. Alcoholics too can conceal their tools of the trade and beer monsters who were once scouts will always be prepared. I’m sure there’s a door it will open too.

Apple and Nike have announced the next stage of the Nike+ rollout. Right now, Nike+ lets your iPod talk to your shoes, but in the future, your iPod will talk to stationary bikes, step machines, treadmills and other torture devices. Apple and Nike are in talks with gym equipment makers to include the Nike+ functionality in their machines so that their use can be tracked and aggregated. At the start of a workout, you plug your ipod into the machine and it will record everything you do for later upload to a computer, and then on to the Nike+ site via iTunes. The point of Nike+, as we see it, is to bring a little bit of geek appeal to the square old world of sports, and adding a whole lot of gym-gadgets into the mix can only help those straights gain some nerd-cred.
