Grace Digital Eco Terra Rugged Boombox

Grace Digital Eco Terra Rugged Boombox

People would want to bring their portable music players just about anywhere. But with some devices, there can be a limit to where they can be used. Some, for example, would not be ideal to bring near any body of water or sandy area lest they get damaged without the necessary protection. If you still wish to bring them along on your next trip to the beach, then you might also want to bring along the Eco Terra Rugged Boombox from Grace Digital.
Grace Digital Eco Terra is a waterproof and rugged iPhone and mp3 player case that comes with its own set of speakers.

Eton Rover Self-Powered AM/FM/NOAA Weather Radio with Flashlight and USB Cell Phone Charger Review

I've mentioned several times that the Piedmont area in North Carolina where I live has a lot of bad weather – tornadoes, thunderstorms, and hurricanes in the summer; ice storms and sometimes even tornadoes in the winter – that can leave us without power for days.  No power means no lights and no telephone service for us because we only use our cell phones.  It seems the only flashlight I can find when I need one has dead or dying batteries, so I need to have a ready source of light that doesn't depend on non-rechargeable batteries.  I also need a way to be connected to the outside world – both a source of news and a way t

Volkswagen optical illusion car conjured

Volkswagen optical illusion car conjured

Someone just hire designer Sangwoo Lee already – this guy conjured this particular Volkswagen concept that was inspired by optical art and visual kinetics. Known as the Volkswagen Optism (what a name – I am not that optimistic that it will hit the streets though), it was specially created with horizontal slants that will have the vehicle change its “character” when viewed from a different angle. The lines themselves do seem to create movement as well as direction, and since these lines are all over the place, ranging from the exterior all the way to the wheels and the interior.

Jaguar reveals XF Sportbrake ahead of Geneva debut

Jaguar reveals XF Sportbrake ahead of Geneva debut

If you're of the opinion that the world needs fewer bloated crossovers and SUVs and more station wagons, first of all, you're in good company. Wagons can offer all the cargo capacity and most of the versatility of their taller siblings, only without the wobbly handling and excess weight. Secondly, today's your day, because Jaguar has unleashed its new XF Sportbrake. Based, as you might have guessed, on the XF sedan, the Sportbrake offers the longer roofing and extra space embraced by European buyers over their saloon counterparts.
