If you love blended beverages, but don’t like to lug a blender around all the time, this device is for you. Oster has introduced the Beehive Blend-N-Go Cup. I guess the reason they call it Beehive, is because of the design of the cup itself. All you do is place the ingredients in the cup, put on the lid, and away you go. To drink, just unscrew the lid, remove the blade (important), and chug away. One customer review on the site states this: “It does what it is supposed to do. No problems and I use it every day. Obviously, it’s battery operated. Price was unavailable at this writing.

The Company Called Parrot has introduced a new line of digital picture frames, this one being the DF7220. According to the product website, the frame can hold 300 photos, with an SD/MMC card. The photos are automatically adjusted to fit the 7 inch frame. And you can manually adjust for vertical and horizontal photos by simply turning the frame to the side. Buttons on the back of the frame allow you to make a slideshow, arrange photos, and even delete pictures.

“The DF7220 is a complex piece of hardware, yet is simple to use. All I had to was plug the frame in an ordinary wall outlet, and it was ready to download pictures.

One of the most boring things I can think of is sitting in that waiting room waiting for the Doctor to call you in. The people at Phillips have a gadget that uses low-energy light technology to create a soothing environment for the Mercy Medical Centere in Rogers, Arkansas.

“This installation, displayed in the Women’s and Children’s waiting area, is a 14-ft long, 6ft-high canvas that uses touchscreen technology to animate 1,420 LEDs. Each ‘painting’ a visitor produces last for a few minutes before fading away, and up to six ‘artists’ can make their mark at a time. Despite the apparent power of the canvas, it only uses the same amount of daily energy as a toaster! “

Remember those big floppy discs that you use to wag around before cd’s and flash drives came into existence? Well this item will remind you of the good ole days every time you sit your drink down on the table. They are coasters in the shape of floppy discs made of vinyl and foam. I say that someone should invent a coaster out of a cd that you can sit a glass on, not one that you tried to burn unsuccessfully.
