GoGirl – Let's you Stand Up for Yourself

When I was a little kid I used to wish I was a boy. Now that I’m a grown-up, I can honestly say there are only a couple of benefits that I feel I’m missing out on. When I was younger I got paid less, but that worked itself out. Now I’m left with the idea that men seem to get away with being older, heavier and less attractive much more than woman do (that’s not fair)… and then theres that whole being able to pee standing up thing.

Well, I may not be able to pull off the distinguished older gentleman routine, but now I can write my name in the snow, thanks to GoGirl, a nifty, and hygienic feminine urination device that let’s you go anywhere a man can, without baring your butt, or tinkling on the back of your pants. (hey, don’t say thats never happened) No more squatting over dirty toilets or disgusting port-o-potties, simply place the soft, silicone, funnel-like device up against your body and do what you gotta do.

GoGirl is totally portable, reusable, and dishwasher safe. Yeah, I know, leave it at that. The folks that make the GoGirl suggest you practice in order to get the feel of standing up while you go, and in order to avoid the unfortunate consequences of a learning curve, that you do so in the shower. Practice makes perfect. I have to say that there has been more that one occasion that I would have been ecstatic to have one of these in my purse and if you’d like to see yourself hangin’ with the boys, grab yourself a GoGirl, only 15 bucks for a two pack at amazon.com.

Star Wars Large Darth Vader Glitter Light

Assuming the Dark Lord of the Sith is one mean character who is just less forgiving than the Emperor himself, it would still be out of character to see Darth Vader's room sport the £19.95 Star Wars Large Darth Vader Glitter Light. After all, this is a pretty self descriptive device, where it was specially designed to imitate the dreaded lightsaber, a weapon of choice for Jedis as well as Sith alike during times when folks were more civilized.

Of course, you will not find some sort of mystic crystals powering the Star Wars Large Darth Vader Glitter Light, but rather, good old electricity that has coursed through the wire to power it up. It will definitely have a far lower energy cost compared to the Death Star, and your little one (or even you) can wistfully dream up of those classic Jedi-Sith battles on the numerous planet systems that are all part of Star Wars folklore.

Tuggit Pullbulb

Ah, lighting solutions in the home could prove to be something that you might want to look into if home improvement is your hobby. After all, the usual array of bulbs and lamps won't make the cut these days if you want to stand out from the rest, so it makes perfect sense if you want something else that is unconventional, such as the $19.99 Tuggit Pullbulb. Yes sir, by the name itself, you can more or less figure out the direction of where the Tuggit Pullbulb is going.

The Tuggit Pullbulb is a battery-powered LED lightbulb (now that ought to get those pesky Greenpeace activists off your back for siding with the environment) which has been attached to a 4-foot long nylon rope. Turning it on and off is as simple as giving it a tug. Should it be on, tug it to switch it off, and vice versa. Yes, it is that easy, and I don't suppose there is a need for a user manual to figure everything else out. Thing is, you ought to make sure that your home has at least a trio of spare AAA batteries lying around at all times to power it just in case the current batch of batteries run out of juice. It would be best to rely on rechargeables if you want to go the whole nine yards.

Outdoor Tech rolls out Tuis premium headphone

Have you heard of Outdoor Tech before? Just in case the name sounds familiar to you, that is because this is the very same outdoor designer brand which brought you the Turtle Shell rugged wireless boom box, and this time around, Outdoor Tech is raring to go with the Tuis premium headphone that is actually part of Outdoor Tech's growing wireless assortment. The Tuis is no slouch when it comes to capabilities, where it will boast of a host of convenient and well-designed features, where among them include integrated music/call controls, a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that is capable of going on for a good 16 hours of play time and 19 hours of talk time, in addition to premium Hi-Fi sound quality, of course. After all, isn't that why you decided to settle for a premium headphone in the first place?

Not only does Outdoor Tech's new flagship Tuis headphones sound good and perform great, it is also highly portable since they are able to fold up for compact portability, and will be accompanied by a hard case for those moments when you are not in a rush to use them. Good to know that Outdoor Tech has decided to stick to conventional wisdom by featuring a 3.5mm jack which enables them to be used in situations which do not pave the way for use in situations where Bluetooth connectivity is not allowed, such as those moments when you are on an airplane or with a device that lacks Bluetooth capability.

In a nutshell, it is safe to say that the Tuis has the ideal combination of comfort, durability, style, and premium sound which ought to be able to satisfy the needs of every audiophile, design junky, and gearhead. The thing is, you are unable to show off your spanking new pair of Tuis premium headphones even if you wanted to this summer, since they will be made available only from this October onwards, where a pair of these puppies will set you back by approximately $149.99.

Razer Blade is thinnest gaming notebook in the world

Whenever someone throws out a superlative word, you cannot help but wonder just how the heck did they arrive at such a conclusion. Was the label warranted just because of some in-house tests, or has it been independently verified? That is the big question that we have concerning the Razer Blade, but since Razer has been pretty much a reliable company for the longest time in the world of gaming, it goes without saying that to see Razer slap on the label of "The World's Thinnest Gaming Notebook" on the Razer Blade is a trustworthy saying. In fact, the Razer Blade comes across as thinner than a dime, sporting a 14" HD+ display, running on a quad-core Intel Core i7 processor, alongside NVIDIA GTX 765M as the graphics card of choice.

Just how thin is the Razer Blade? If you have a dime in your pocket, you get an idea on how amazingly thin it has become, where it measures in at a mere 0.66" thin – making it thinner than your regular smartphone for most of the case, unless you settle for one of those models from Huawei or ZTE that are obsessed with the thickness (or rather, the lack of it) of your smartphone. With that kind of dimensions, the Razer Blade is hands down the winner when it comes to packing in more power-per-cubic-inch compared to any other laptop in the world.

Underneath the hood, you will find that the Razer Blade packs in a future 4th generation Intel Core i7 processor, the most recent NVIDIA GeForce GTX 765M GPU that ensures the kind of graphics which pop out from your machine is top notch and minimizes dropped frames, while taking advantage of today's modern solid-state storage technology where it boasts of boot speeds of up to four-times faster compared to the traditional 5400-RPM notebook hard drive. Of course, since this is a gaming notebook, it is imperative that the display itself ought to be worth its salt considering the amount of time you are going to spend looking at it, hence the Razer Blade boasts of a stunning 14" LED-backlit HD+ display, with a custom-designed trackpad and backlit gaming grade keyboard to get you going right out of the box, all crammed into a rigid all-aluminum chassis. 8GB RAM is accompanied by a choice of either 128GB, 256GB or 512GB SSD. Pricing for the Razer Blade starts from $1,799 onwards as it is made available for pre-order from June 3.
