The Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet has created the Outdoor Artisan Pizza Oven . Made entirely of hand fabricated stainless steel with a baking surface made of professional composite baking stone. The stone heat transfer performance exceeds that of natural stone, and it will never become brittle like quarry stone can after repeated heat cycles. The precision digital thermometer measures the temperature of the stone so you can do both low-temperature deep-dish pizza and high-temperature thin-crust pizza with equal confidence. The 30,000 BTU stainless steel gas burner means the oven is always at the ready, while the integrated smoking drawer imparts the flavor of a wood-fired pizza oven.
You can read more about the oven at the Kalamazoo site HERE.

SunBriteTV is coming out with a 46-inch LCD TV that has a corrosion resistant enclosure to protects it from the elements (rain, snow, dirt, kids with jelly sandwiches). To further deal with the great outdoors, there's a filtered fan system to keep it cool on hot days, and an internal heater that will let the LCP operate down to 24 degrees. A watertight cable system for the HDMI, component, VGA, S-video, composite, and RF hook ups will let you connect the LCD to just about anything. Resolution is 1366 x 768 for 1080i, and it has a nice 1600:1 contrast ratio. The LCD should be hitting the store shelves later this month if your interested.

If you don't mind heights, and want a truely unique dinning experience, look no further than Dinner In the Sky.
Created by Belgian chef Quentin Jadoul, Dinner In the Sky is a 22 person dining table with attached chairs, that's raised by a crane up to a maximum height of 50 meters (about 164 feet) above the ground. You'll then be treated to a catered dinner by the waiters and chef that are located in the middle section of the table. To make sure your dinner is a safe one, a four point harness keeps people in the seats, and the chairs rotate 180 degrees to help you get in and out or to just get a better look at the ground below.
At the moment you'll have to fly to Belgium for the experience, but they will come to you if the price is right I'm sure.
You can read more about the experience, with a lot more pictures, at the site HERE.

From Cigar Aficionado:
The Mini Cigar Bar comes equipped with just about everything you need to have a cigar-lovers picnic. Crafted in fine leather with metal detailing and locking clasps, the parcel's cushioned interior is partitioned into three sections large enough to fit three bottles of your favorite spirit. If it's a light day and you're only donning one bottle, take advantage of the Mini's host of accoutrements to fill the other two slots. A quartet set of acrylic tumblers are included, along with a torch flame lighter, a cylindrical cedar-lined travel humidor with a seven- to nine-cigar capacity, and another cylindrical container, which is insulated and zips closed claiming to keep ice cubes cool for up to four hours without leakage. The pack also sports three secure pockets on the front for any other little accessories you may need. On the back, there's a handy Velcro flap, which can be used to fasten the bag to a golf cart or to the top of a piece of roller luggage.
You can buy the case at the designer Max Benjamin's web site HERE.

The miniHome is classed as an RV, but it is designed to work as a comfortable, year-round dwelling in extreme climates. It is ideally suited as a ski chalet, cottage, vacation retreat, guest cabin, or as a luxurious yet simple home-away-from-home.
The real key to the miniHome is that it's designed to be self sustaining for short duration stays. The miniHome does not require any form of municipal infrastructure, it is completely self-contained, and produces all the energy required for its onboard electrical loads by solar panels (located on a pivoting aluminum canopy over the front door) and a small wind turbine (that mounts on a 16' mast mounted to the loft wall, or can be sited on a taller mast - not provided - for optimal performance). It has tanks for freshwater and wastewater, and an onboard propane system for space heating, hot water, cooking and refrigeration. There also a large number of upgrades you can add on to create it just the way you want it.
If your looking for something very echo-friendly, or a unique getaway place, you can read all about the miniHome at their site HERE.

The Ricoh 500SE is a GPS enabled camera that will attach the GPS coordinates of your location to the picture you take. Once your home you can then connect the camera up to your computer, and the included software will plot out the points on a map you took the pictures at.
The camera is marketed more towards businesses that might need to keep track of sites, and what was going on when. Since it's a pretty decent sounding point and click camera though, the GPS set up might be great for vacations to map out all the places you went, and what pictures you took there.
The camera itself is a 8-megapixel, with a 2.5 inch screen, 26 megs of internal memory, a SD card slot, rechargeable battery, and is both Bluetooth and WiFi enabled.
For more information on the camera, you can hit the Ricoh website HERE.

With your eye on the Livorsi analog instrumentation and hand on the Latham throttles, the 28 responds to your whims in open waters … while luxuries such as hand-fitted non-slip teak inlays and classically tailored 8.5" beam indulge your sense of style"

Ok, this watch is designed for those that live to surf, so probably not something most of us are going to need. Unless of course you're the type that always wishes you were surfing, instead of sitting in a cube farm. Or maybe if you just want a unique watch and conversation piece.
The Deep 300 has 15 years of pre-programmed tide data, sunrise/sunset times for 300 spots around the world, 24 hour high-resolution graphic display of tide movement, a digital reading of tide height measured in feet, meters, or coefficient, dual time, dual alarm, countdown timer, surf heat timer, a wave counter, a 1/100 training chronograph, and is water resistant up to 20 ATM.
I'm not sure if all of that will actually help you catch the perfect wave, but it sure can't hurt. To check out this watch, and others, you can head on over to the Quiksilver site HERE.

While most of us still see snow when we look outside, it's never too late to start thinking about warm weather. To help with that, I give you the Chill-N-Grill T2331.
Any grill can cook meat, but it takes a special grill to also get you a beer. The T2331 has a "beverage tower" complete with CO2 tank and Keg hook up. It doesn't stop there though. It also comes with a 180 watt JBL stereo system that will pump your CDs or MP3s though it's 6 speakers, and a 60 quart insulated cooler to keep cold whatever else you want to. As for a cooking, it's a 24,000 BTU gas grill, dual cooking zones, and a warming rack.
So if you're looking to upgrade, or just impress the neighborhood, you can head over to the Ultimate Tailgating site and check it out HERE.
