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.

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.

Here's the details from the Chinavasion site:

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.

I promise that I'll get back to regular posts as soon as I get back.
