Geek Gadgets: Digital Thermometer Pan

Here’s a fun gadget to ensure your cooking is up to scratch, the Digital Thermometer Pan. Absolutely Incredible, amazing gadget i ever seen..

Happily, one enterprising cooking geek put a thermometer right inside the pan, and a readout in the handle. So, now when the recipe calls for “medium-high heat”, and the pan reads “400 degrees F”, and your traditional Oaxacan Platanos Asados come out just right, you can mark down in the margins the precise temperature, and get it right every single time. Science – it’s all about being able to duplicate results. So is cooking!

Unless your work requires a maximum of megapixels, the most meaningful differences between your old camera and a new one have less to do with image resolution and more to do with the camera’s features. Newer cameras and more-expensive models support the RAW format, let you set manual exposure times, shoot in burst mode, and perform other tricks–but with a simple firmware hack, you can add the same capabilities to older models that don’t support them.

Geek Gadgets: ASUS Bamboo Laptops

ASUS, after months of deliberation and leaked photos of the new sustainable “green” bamboo laptop, has finally announced the arrival of ASUS Bamboo series.

FYI, bamboo is one of the most eco-friendly and sustainable wood out there plus it feels good. (I even personally own a bamboo flip-flops, which I swear by)

Bamboo has been used for centuries over in Asia for furniture, architecture, you name it. I think bamboo will also act as a great heat-absorbent for the laptop itself while cutting carbon footprint of course.

Geeks Gadget: Robot Asahi Bartender

Sooner or later, the cute bartender that was the only reason you ever went out to the bar in the first place, will be replaced. Robot bartenders are the future. No more half-filled plastic cups of Red Bull and vodka that only lead you to getting thrown out after an argument with the bartender regarding a drink that wasn’t made properly. These bots know how to serve and never have a grim attitude.

Asahi Beer has experimented with robot bartenders in the past, but it looks to have really outdone itself with its new Mr. Asahi bot, which just made its public debut at Selfridges in the UK. Apparently, the robot was built in about 200 hours and spent a full six months fine-tuning its bartending skills, which includes being able to serve customers in less than two minutes. That’s done with the aid of a discreetly-hidden PC that controls the compressed air and the robot’s various switching mechanisms, not to mention its pleasant demeanor. Be sure to head on past the break for a video of the bot in action courtesy of Channel Flip.

The company that has become famous for producing some of the most bizarre USB-based products in the world has introduced a USB Carabiner Flash Drive thatyou can attach to your backpack or use when you go mountain climbing (what you’ll use a flash drive for on top of a frigging mountain, I really don’t know).
