This Minox Suntimer watch just might save your life. Summer’s here and the days are hot and it’s nice to get out in the sun. But watch out for those UV rays! Stay out too long and you will not only end up with a nasty sunburn- you could be putting your life in danger! Skin damage is no joke people. With the Minox Suntimer, UV Radiation Monitor, Watch & Stopwatch All-in-1 Combo you can easily monitor your solar exposure to keep the damage to a minimum.

The Suntimer estimates the maximum amount of safe exposure time to sunlight by using special sensors that measure the amount of ultraviolet radiation in the sunlight based on it’s intensity. You can program in a profile that the watch will remember, detailing your skin type and SPF of the sunscreen you typically use. The watch will then determine your optimum time to stay in the sun. An alarm will sound when it’s time to get out of the sun.

The Suntimer will adjust your amount of exposure time dynamically based on the sunlight it receives. If you go inside for a while or into the shade, it adds on time. If the sun gets stronger, the time allotted decreases. The watch is also water resistant to 33 feet. This makes the Suntimer ideal for many outdoor activities such as hiking, surfing, fishing, biking, skiing or just being a spectator.

Longest Motorcycle in the World

Posted on Wednesday 9 July 2008

longest-motorcycle Longest Motorcycle in the WorldThe problem with motorcycles is that you can only take maybe 1 other person on them with you. Maybe 2 if you have one of those dorky Indiana Jones style sidecars. But never your whole baseball team. This world’s longest motorcycle is incredibly, well, long. It has about 14 seats and looks like a giant beam with seats. No videos of it in action, so I can’t quite tell how it steers, but I imagine you probably have to take the turns quite wide and with some coordinated leaning into the turns from your mass of passengers. I know I wouldn’t want to ride on this- it looks like part of some sort of carnival ride was detached and put on wheels. One thing is for certain- it’s long.

Rubber Ducky Mouse you’re the one. You make doing my Excel worksheets lots of fun. So sophisticated yet so businesslike, the Rubber Ducky Mouse can make the transition from kid’s room to your office. Ok, maybe not YOUR office, but someone’s office. An office where nobody ever comes in and laughs and makes fun of you. Maybe a home office. Or a comedy team’s office. Cute mouse!
