Get there faster

Flying into Las Vegas yesterday from DFW, a team of employees from Fort Worth based Uniden Corp. were not only on my plane, but were seated right next to me.

What a surprise, I got my first press kit and pre-CES announcement right there on the plane from Uniden officials. The press release, dated January 7 (so I guess you can call this a scoop) highlights the first GPS unit, Uniden MapTrax WITH a built-in radar detection system. It's not on their Web site yet, but I would expected it to be there by Monday.

So not only will Uniden get you where you need to go, but now they will get you there faster.

The device is expected out in the second quarter of 2008.

My lights on, and I'm thirsty

How lazy can we get?

Now you don't have to check to see if a house plant needs water, just put the new Thirsty Light into the potted soil. It checks the moisture level once a second (pretty busy device) and when water is needed, the green lollipop light blinks.

What a deal for $9.95.
