Dammit, Jim! I’m a doctor, not a bartender!

NEWS – Bones could be both if he had these Star Trek on-the-rocks glasses.  These straight-sided glasses hold 10.5 ounces.  Each has been hand-etched with a different Star Trek emblem.  The designs are applied by sand-blasting, not chemical etching.

The four designs are the Command symbol, Engineering symbol, Medical / Sciences symbol, and the Star Fleet Command logo.  A set of four is $45.00.  For an additional fee, you can have them personalized, too.

The Star Trek Rocks Etched Rocks Glasses are available from the Jackglass shop on Etsy.

In the midst of a storm when all else fails, the Kovea Spider Stove will do the trick


NEWS – Every year when hurricane season is approaching, I cannot help but remember my ordeal in NYC during Hurricane Sandy. During that storm, I spent 14 days without electricity and heat, and many nights I purchased food from the only restaurant that was somehow able to survive. While I did have gas during the storm, and while I was able to light my electronic ignition stove with matches, I often wonder what would have happened if I had an electric stove, or if the gas lines were damaged and unable to deliver gas. Since that storm, I have stocked up on a few emergency items that include propane powered indoor heaters, but I am still undecided about a stove.

Today, during one of my bouts of surfing the internet, I came across the Kovea Spider Stove. This little stove is powered by fuel canisters, has an anti-flame system pipe providing a powerful and stable flame, sits low to the surface, and allows you to place the fuel canister away from the stove for added safety. It is also very portable with its foldable pan support legs. When all else fails, including the loss of electricity and gas, it seems like it can get you through preparing a meal.

If you would like to learn more about the Kovea Spider Stove, or if you would like to purchase it, you can head over to Amazon and check it out. It is available for $59.90

Mount a GoPro on a Hot Wheel and record your epic tracks

NEWS – Did you have Hot Wheels cars as a kid? I had a few of the cars, but I wasn’t lucky enough to have any of the track sets that would let me create my own race track setups. But after seeing the Hot Wheel Zoom In, I have a strong urge to order some cars and track. The Zoom In is a specially designed Hot Wheel base that holds a GoPro HERO or HERO5 camera so you can capture first-person video of what it would be like to actually drive on your race tracks. Even better, it’s only $6.99 from Amazon.
