This is pretty impressive. Here's the details:
Live the Smart lifestyle with the SilverSTAT 7, a true advanced Smart Energy Thermostat that seeks to replace the standard household thermostat with an advanced home climate control system. SilverSTAT 7 not only provides all the features of an intelligent 7 day programmable thermostat, but also features Smart Energy In-Home Display (IHD) to help monitor utility usage and expenses for green energy management.
The device is elegantly designed with its 7’’ touch screen display that illustrates the distribution of household energy down to individual appliances. With its IEEE 802.15.4 wireless interface, the SilverSTAT 7 will speak to the new smart meters that will have the ability to send information on real-time electricity and gas use in households directly to the utility companies. This process eliminates the inconvenience of meter readings and the inefficiencies of their controversial estimates. Reductions in peak energy demand are encouraged by providing customers with an instantaneous view of their ongoing energy usage and utility pricing on their networked in-home display. Potential savings can be achieved by turning off or rescheduling the use of appliances for a more cost efficient time.
With the built-in 802.11 Wi-Fi interface, the SilverSTAT 7 can successfully communicate with a home network and internet services. It hosts useful smart gadgets to enhance the convenience of daily tasks with attractive features including streaming photos, music and content direct from Live.com and from the PC. Through Windows technology, users can control their digital universe with access to email, stock prices, real-time weather forecasting, billing and price schedules for energy providers and more! SilverSTAT 7 is packed with features to consolidate the tasks of managing energy usage in a home.

If you're any kind of Simpsons fan, this is probably a must have. Even if you're not, it's still pretty cool.
The set comes with a flask that has a great toast on it, saying "To Alcohol! The cause and solution to all of life's problems". It also comes with four shot glasses, each with a Homer facial expression on the front and a famous Homer phrase on the back.
The only problem here is that the site is sold out at the moment, and you might have to jump through some hoops to get it shipped to you from the UK when it's back in stock.
You can check out the UK site HERE.
Let me know if there's anywhere in the U.S. that might sell this.

I can't see myself spending $400 on one of these tables, but it would be cool to have.
Table features include:
– Lighted cup recesses to prevent cups from being knocked over when hit and also to illuminate cups sitting on the table.
– Four side running lights which strobe in different patterns that can be selected by the push of a button. (Available only in red, green, and blue lighting options)(Lights under cups do not strobe)
– Corner ball tracks where extra balls can be placed during game play.
– Sliding "bounce plate" that can be centered on the table so a bounceable surface exists for game play.
– Protective clear tops that can be removed for cleaning purposes or to change out the colored tops or lights.
– Six cup recesses per side for playing Flip Cup. Collapsible leg system that folds table in half for easy transportation and storage. Lock and carrying handle for secure transportation. Tables weigh 60 lbs and are 4'x2' folded and 8'x2'x34" (from floor to top edge)
If you're interested in one, you can check them out HERE.

Ok, first off, this is definitely not something you want to listen to while at work. Just because of the language in it. However, as soon as you get a chance, hit the link at the bottom, and watch the video from the single "I'm On A Boat". If you have any kind of sense of humor, you'll love it. Here's a little bit about the new album from Rolling Stone:
Saturday Night Live's golden boy Andy Samberg will be putting out a comedy album, titled Incredibad, next February, and you can expect it to be just as raunchy as "Dick In A Box" and "Jizz In My Pants." A slew of "real" musicians will join Samberg on the album, including T-Pain, Norah Jones, Jack Black, E-40, the Strokes' frontman Julian Casablancas and Justin Timberlake.
The album is a product of the three-man team known as the Lonely Island, comprised of Samberg and fellow SNL writers Jorma Taccone and Akiva Schaffer.
You can read the rest of the article over at Rolling Stone HERE.
You can watch the video from "I'm On A Boat" HERE. (NSFW)
Also, in case you haven't seen it yet, you can also catch "Jizz In My Pants" HERE. (NSFW)
Also, you can get the CD from Amazon HERE.

You should always have some shot glasses around the house. Even if you don't think you're ever going to use them, it's just a good idea.
If you're looking for a cool set, these Animal themed shot glasses would be worth getting. Here's a little bit of info about them from the site:
Shot glasses for the passionate animal lover… or the avid hunter. Either way, the Animal Shot Glasses are made of black glass and balance atop the head of either a bear, bull, deer, moose or rhinoceros.
They're a little on the expensive side, at $54 for a set of two of them, but if you're interested you can buy a couple of them HERE.

Pride & Prejudice is one of those books that you probably got stuck reading at some point in your life. Especially if you were an English major. Fortunately I never had to, but I might actually have to read this version.
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is exactly what it sounds like. Author Seth Grahame-Smith has taken the original text of Jane Austen's novel and added in zombie scenes. I'm sure some people are horrified by this (pun intended), and if you see one of those people, make sure to point and laugh.
Here's the best endorcement of the book I've seen, pulled right from the Amazon site:
JANE AUSTEN is the author of Sense and Sensibility, Persuasion, Mansfield Park, and other masterpieces of English literature. SETH GRAHAME-SMITH is the author of How to Survive a Horror Movie and The Big Book of Porn.
I'm going to have to go snag this, and if you're interested, you can pick it up HERE for a little over $10.

This is another one of those things I wish I had thought of first.
The idea is pretty simple, see an idiot that doesn't know how to park their car, whip out one of these white cards that says "nice parking" on it, and place it under their winshield wiper. Perfect.
For $15 you get 100 cards, and a nice little carrying case for them.
You can buy them over at the Jack Spade site HERE.

Not sure this is all that practical, but you'll have to admit that you'd be the only one on the block to have one. Fromt he sales pitch:
This brilliant BBQ accessory is actually a twin-pronged fork fashioned to resemble a musketeer-style sword. It even comes with a cut-out cardboard mask so you can spear treacherous chicken thighs and impale all the king's hot dogs without revealing your true identity.
As well as its utterly idiotic swashbuckling qualities, the BBQ Sword is a pretty nifty cooking implement. Its fat wooden handle will ensure you don't drop your freshly barbecued food over the château parapet and its comedy hand guard will protect freshly laundered cuff ruffs from dripping fat. Maybe.
You can buy the BBQ Sword over at the Firebox website HERE.
