It's 2 o'clock in the morning and your wife turns to you and says "Honey can you turn down the air? I'm hot". You are probably dead tired from a day of work, and the last thing you want to do is get up and walk half way through the house to get to that thermostat, turn the lights on, and turn down the air conditioner. You now realize, man I wish I had a Wi-FI thermostat.

Enter the Honeywell Wi-Fi Smart Thermostat, not only does the Wi-FI thermostat have a beautiful display, but the display is customizable and will actually accommodate with your surrounding. The one we display above matches our decor here on the lime.

Honeywell has really thought put some thought into this one. The thermostat has a digital display that features a touchscreen panel which will allow you to easily navigate through its menus. The thermostat also just like its counterpart the nest, will learn your lifestyle patterns and adjust accordingly. For instance, let's say you always put your thermostat to 75 when you sleep. The Honeywell Wi-FI Thermostat will learn that after time, and adjust to accommodate automatically. It is also programmable so you can go ahead and set a schedule and forget about it.

The Smart thermostat like the Nest Thermostat can be controlled via the internet and also via iPhone and android applications.

The Honeywell Smart Wi-FI thermostat is reasonably priced at around $250.

Get your jam on in the shower. Kohler the maker of all those bathroom fixtures we have come to love has come up with a sleek bluetooth enabled speaker that fits in a shower head.

The new Moxie shower head eliminates the need to bring your radio in the shower with you and potentially damage it. Since the speaker is Bluetooth enabled you can use virtually any source and it can be up to 32 feet away. Better yet, you can take it out of the showerhead and use it for any application such as on your desk while you are typing that final term paper.

Not only is it functional but it looks cool too. The Moxie shower head is available in two favors, a 2 .0 GPM or a 2.5 GPM depending on your personal preference.

Simple Installation

Do you have an older model vehicle with an iphone accessory cable that doesn't work with newer generation phones like the iphone 4? We had the same issue with an iphone 4 in a 2007 model Honda Accord. The device would work from time to time but would never charge and prompt with a message stating that the accessory was not compatible with the phone. We found the Scosche Passport adapter that made our incompatible accessory cable work flawlessly to charge the phone and allow playback via the cars factory radio.

After Scosche




The Scosche Passport is compatible with the iPod nano 4G, iPod touch 2G, iPhone 3G. In a nut shell it allows accessories that do not support USB charging to work with iPod and iPhone, it also allows car integration accessories that do not support charging to work with the iPhone 3G and September 2008-released iPods. The pass-through port allows for easy plug-and-play installation with mostly all older accessory devices. The Scosche Passport is compatible with several aftermarket auto head-units so it is not limited to Honda radios.


We didn't like the adapter being so big so we added an extension cable to our car unit and put the Scosche inline. The adapter still works great.

The Raspberry Pi is credit-card sized mini computer that measures 85.60 mm x 56 mm x 21 mm, and weighs 45 grams. It is already on its second version (Version B) and has been a hit among the techie population. The device can be used for a plethora of projects and its limits are only your imagination. Although tiny, it packs a punch with all its inputs and outputs. This tiny pc has an SD card slot (this is where they store the operating system), RCA Video out, 3.5mm audio jack, USB ports, 10/100 MB Ethernet port, HDMI port, and finally general purpose input/output pins that can be programmed to do stuff.

The Raspberry Pi can plug into your high-definition TV or computer monitor and virtually any usb keyboard. The Raspberry Pi is capable of being used for many of the routine things a regular computer can do but was primarily created to teach children all over the world to learn programming.

The Raspberry Pi gets its power from a 5v micro USB port. You can even run the device off 4 x AA batteries but it is recommended to use a voltage regulator if you go that route.

Debian is the default distribution of choice, but the Raspberry Pi lends itself to work with other distributions as well. Python is the educational language of choice and is natively supported by this mini computer however, any language which will compile for ARMv6 can be used with the Raspberry Pi. We think this little device is so cool that we couldn't pass up telling you about it.

If you are looking for a good quality stylus and pen combination, your search is over. We gave the Bamboo Duo stylus a try and were very happy with the results. The duo is a nice looking pen stylus combo, it has a nice solid feel to it and writes well on both sides. The pen is a fine tip black ink cartridge that is refillable.

The Bamboo Duo is about average thickness of a pen and also has an average length so you wont feel awkward holding this little guy. The stylus side of the duo is very accurate on the iPad 3 that we tested and also works well on iPhone devices although we didn't really think it was very useful on such a small screen. We tried notability, bamboo, and paper apps and are excited to report that this stylus was very responsive and allowed for great control and accuracy. We loved the preciseness we archived while using the stylus. The stylus tip can also be interchanged if necessary so you will never have to throw this stylus away. One thing to note is that since the stylus side of the tip is not protected, dropping it will more than likely cause you to dent the metal casing that goes around the stylus tip. (Unfortunately we dropped our and dented it but we are still happy with the results.)

PROS
- Sturdy construction
- Refillable ink
- Replaceable stylus tip
- Offered in various colors
- Works on most screens

CONS
- Pricey (They often go for half price on Amazon)
- The stylus tip does not have a protective cover

So you probably got a great deal on that new 55 inch led tv, but noticed that you really couldn't do much but plug in the cable box, and maybe a video game console.

You probably want to play games, surf the web, or stream videos and music directly from your tv. Well, now you can with the iMito MX1. You can basically make your TV a giant tablet as long as it has a free HDMI port.

The iMito MX1 mini pc is a bout three times as large as a regular usb stick and has an aluminum housing. We were able to play with one for a little while and it works just like an android tablet, and does it really well. In fact it runs Android 4.1 Jelly Bean so if you have played with any android device it will be super easy to use. The Google Play Store is installed by default which allows for download of many applications. The device has built in bluetooth, XBMC, and 802.11 b/g/n wifi support.

The iMito MX1 is powered by an included power supply. It doesn't come with a keyboard or mouse but any bluetooth keyboard or mouse should work. We didn't have any issues connecting ours and have sometimes seen them being sold as bundles together. We liked it so much that we would recommend this product over trying to buy a high end TV with the web features. For the super geek, the iMito can be flashed with the latest roms for the hottest features. We really like this device and for $60.00 you just can't go wrong.

Things to note are that you must connect it to some HID (human interface device) which will cost you a little more depending on how fancy you want to get.

Note that although the MX1 comes with 1GB internal RAM memory it has a slot for a micro SD card that supports up to 32 GB.



Here is the USB and power ports. Note the HDMI port on the other side.



Here is a screenshot of the iMito MX1. Note that this iMito was modified so your screens may vary.
