Nest: The Learning Thermostat

This has been going around the web like wildfire today, so you’ve probably already seen it and thus I’ll spare you too many of the details. But, I have to say that this new Nest thermostat, created and designed by ex-iPod lead, Tony Fadell, is certainly doing to thermostats what the iPhone did for cell phones.

It’s pretty, it’s smart, and it’s eco-friendly (which in turn, makes it wallet-friendly). Once installed, the device learns your temperature preferences over the course of a week and then will auto-adjust given your habits. You can also control it through your smart phone so that you can do things like turn off the A/C while you’re on vacation. And, apparently it’s as easy to install as a light fixture.

So, will I be ordering one? I wish :( Unfortunately (or…fortunately?) the weather in San Francisco is cool enough year-round that we don’t have a need for air conditioning. But, for all of you across the rest of the country - and especially those friends and family of mine in Texas - I highly encourage that you check it out.

Put some fun (and aggression?) into your cooking with the Karate Chopper fruit and vegetable knife ($12). Or, as I like to call it, Not-Yo-Grandma’s cutting knife. (Unless of course your grandma is hip and awesome.)

Also amazing? The “Shredder Cheese Grater” - a cheese grater in the shape of an electric guitar. Maybe THIS will get my husband into the kitchen…

Jaguar has announced plans to build a limited run of its stunning C-X75 supercar in conjunction with the Williams F1 team. - Very cool, comes with a petrol engine and 4 electric motors. Sadly they dropped the jet engines that were in the original concept car for the petrol engine. :)
