This would be awesome for hanging out in the evening or at night. I also like like that it has the cord running down the middle to keep it from flipping over on you. Here's the details:
This is the tented hammock that's impervious to mosquitoes. The hammock has a fine mesh canopy that provides complete coverage from bugs and other outdoor pests. The netting allows breezes to pass through and is tented with a 4' clearance to allow loungers to adjust their positioning or raise their head without inhibiting movement. A dual-sided zipper allows easy entry and exit and two pockets inside the canopy provide convenient storage. The hammock bed is made from durable parachute nylon that is triple stitched at each stress point, enabling it to support up to 400 lbs. Includes two nautical grade locking carabiners and two 20'-long bungee cords for hanging the hammock.
You can grab one from the Hammacher Schlemmer site for $100 HERE.
This thing is a little crazy, but I bet it would be a blast to ride.
They basically took a skateboard deck and traditional skateboard trucks, and strapped an engine with tank treads to the bottom of them.
What they ended up with is a skateboard that can reach up to 30 mph on anything from concrete to snow to mountain trails.
There's not a lot of other details about the thing at the moment. There are a number of videos on the website that show the DTV in action, and it's very cool.
They have announced that they are taking a $250 deposit if you want to officially get on the list to buy one of these as soon as it's available. No word on what the final cost will be.
You can check out the details, and watch the videos, over at the official DTV Shredder site HERE.
I like the idea of having fingerprint scanner security on something, but I'm always worried that the fingerprint scanner will break, and then I'm screwed. This is a cool idea, in a pretty decent looking briefcase. They run around $386, which isn't horrible.

Not a great package, but not too bad either. Here's the details:
Winner will receive a trip for two to their choice of the Richard Petty Driving Experience Kings Package located in Las Vegas, Nevada or Orlando, Florida. Prize package includes the Richard Petty Driving Experience Kings Package, plus round-trip coach-class air travel for two persons from a major airport nearest to winner's home; and two nights double-occupancy hotel accommodations.
The contest runs until June 20, 2010, and you can enter it HERE.
Not a lot of details on this one. It sounds pretty decent from what little info there is though.
The Grand Prize is Airfare for two to Las Vegas, Hotel Accommodations for winner and one guest for three nights, and Gift cards for Spa Services, Food, and Entertainment.
And that's pretty much it as far as details go. The prize package says that it's around $4000 total, so the gift cards might be in the $1500 range. Though that's completely a guess on my part.
The contest runs until March 31, 2010, and you can enter it HERE.
This sounds awesome. I need to grab some tickets to one soon. Here's some of the details:

I'm going to be in Las Vegas from Dec. 10th to the 15th. I might actually throw a few posts up if I think of something interesting, but I'll probably just be playing poker all day and totally forget.
I promise that I'll get back to regular posts as soon as I get back.
If you want to play poker online and you can't get to Atlantic City or Las Vegas, why not play try playing at FullTilt.
Online poker rooms such as fulltilt and PokerStars.net offer free poker as well as real money poker. You won't go wrong with either room, but PokerStars is generally considered to be the best.
