robby-the-robotHow often have you thought how great it would be to have some assistance so the you can attend to everything you need to do in a day.

Well unless you think about using Outsource your Life! then there generally isn’t another option.

I can’t wait until the day they design a robot that can do all the mundane stuff.

But in the meantime why not get yourself a special edition Genuine 7 Foot Robby The Robot.

Robby Who????
Robby the Robot from the 1956 film Forbidden Planet.

This robot has been made from the blueprints, molds and templates that were used to create the original. Only the finest materials have been used and Robby is pre-programmed to deliver the lines he made famous in the original movie.

Robby the RobotThe remote control allows you to adjust the volume, track selection and stop and start functions. He will also move, rotate his servo-controlled head and rotate his scanners while various lights flash. Robby has an integral audio system which produces cd – quality sound from a directional speaker system in his head. You can connect the sound system to a home theater system and you can even project your own voice through Robby’s sound system with the wireless microphone which is included.

The body is constructed of fiberglass so it will not warp over time and all the metals are machine-grade brass, titanium and aluminum for lasting durability and quality.

Robby the Robot is only available from Hammacher Schlemmer.

I don’t know about you but I so want one of these.

Arai RX-7 Corsair Colin Edwards Replica Helmet

As all motorcyle riders know, your head is the most vulnerable part of your body and it needs proper protection when you are out and about on your motorbike.

And sure you can just pick up a cheap helmet but is it going to give you the protection and the comfort of a helmet that has been designed specifically to provide protection, comfort and of course – style.

Arai Motorcycle helmets are made to provide protection and style. The Arai helmets are almost 100% handmade and each is signed by the craftsman who has constructed it.

You know when you buy an Arai Helmet that you are getting a product that is manufactured by a firm that has been making motorcycle helmets for over 65 years, from the time when Me Hirotake Arai started making helmets. This family tradition has been carried on by his son and grandson.

The Arai company take pride in their product and you can be sure that when you purchase an Arai motorcycle helmet you are buying quality and style and a helmet that is specifically crafted for safety and comfort.

There are a number of varying styles and finishes  available and each helmet really stands out from the rest of those available on the market because of its great design.

Arai introduced the Vector Helmet range this year which is a new and improved version of the Astral Series that Arai introduced a few years ago.

Arai Vector Shogun HelmetArai Vector Helmets such as the Vector Shogun Helmetshown,  have a removable liner and unique molded lines running front to back along the lower shell so that this range of helmets has a different look to other Arai helmets.

The shell of the Vector Helmets are constructed in Arai’s exclusive CLC (Complex laminate construction) giving the range a finish that is both strong and lightweight.

The “Organic Shell Shape,” allows the helmet to cut cleanly through the wind so that buffeting is reduced and the helmet is more “still” in turbulence than some of the  older models.

The Vector has slim, sleek SAJ face shield side pods and a new breath guard design that does a better job of directing fresh air to the inside surface of the shield while at the same time directing hot breath down and away from the inside surface of the shield.

So if you are in the market for a new motorcycle helmet, you should try the new Vector Range of Arai Helmets. Arai have gone a long way to ensure that the Vector helmets are comfortable and stylish.

After years of going shopping, only to forget a number of the items I went to buy, I have found the perfect answer to this problem.

The state of the art voice recognition SmartShopper Grocery List Organizer with Embedded Thermal Printer is such an invaluable item that I mentioned it to Paula and suggested that this was something that she might find handy.

The organizer is pre-loaded with over 2,500 food, beverage, household, beauty, and office items, and recognizes words as specific as tea, sugar, and soap powder, so you can store the items you require simply by speaking the name of the item into the organiser.

So, for example, when you run out of milk at breakfast simply push the record button on the smartshopper and  say ‘milk’.  How great is that!

The printable grocery list organizer attaches magnetically to your refrigerator and it can all be mounted on the wall or kept on a countertop, wherever it is most convenient for you.

The organizer uses a speaker-independent voice recognition system to match a spoken item with one in its database and you can add up to a maximum of 5000 items into the organizer’s database. This means you can use also use it to remind you of errands such as going to the bank, library, or any other important appointment.

It has an easy-to-read LCD screen that puts your list in alphabetical order and you simply press the print button to generate a categorized list from the device’s built-in thermal printer (never requires ink replacement).

The organizer will automatically turn off its voice recognition system after 30 seconds of inactivity, yet it still displays your shopping list on its screen.

The SmartShopper Grocery List Organizer  takes four AA batteries, it measures 7 1/2″ H x 4″ W x 1 1/4″ D and weighs a light 10 1/2 oz.
