THIS GADGET ACTUALLY TRACKS SLEEP

Worn like an everyday watch, SLEEPTRACKER^® is ideal for anyone who wants to wake up alert and ready to start the day, such as frequent travelers across time zones, business people looking for an extra edge, students with fluctuating schedules, or busy moms who need to wake up easily.

The Key to Waking Up Refreshed

Why is it so hard to wake up to a normal alarm clock? Because a normal alarm clock can’t detect where you are in your sleep cycle - a continuous cycle from deep sleep, to brief almost-awake moments, and back to deep sleep again. Occasionally, your alarm may catch you at an optimal, almost-awake moment and you wake up feeling refreshed, but usually you grope for the snooze button waking up tired and groggy.

Wake at Your Perfect Time

SLEEPTRACKER^® puts an end to that tired feeling. Once you set its alarm window, it monitors your body and continuously looks for your optimal waking times so it can wake you at just the right moment. Imagine not feeling tired in the morning and getting a few extra minutes out of your day.

Today is the official launch of the much anticipated Canon XSi digital camera. This is the next generation of the Canon Rebel X, XT and XTi. The main advantage of this camera is the 12.2 Megapixels. This is a jump from the XTi 10.1. Also, the LCD screen is a whopping 3″. In addition, this camera uses the self cleaning technology, like the XTi. This looks like a great semi-pro camera with many features worth upgrading from the XTi or the Nikon D40. You can take a closer look at the specs listed below, and here is a quick price comparison from Pricegrabber.

Throughout the country, Spring has finally arrived. With Spring comes GOLF! Remember the old days of calculating how far you were from the flag? Is that the 150 yard bush? Then in the nineties, electronic gizmos were installed in carts at some higher-end golf clubs. Now you can bring this technology with you the next time you golf.

Introducing the all-new SkyCaddie™ SG5 — now with full color display. This GPS for golfers determines your distance to the green (or other targets) on any course you play; it calculates your distance to as many as 40 objects on any hole — all in less than one second. All information is shown on a backlit color LCD that is easy to read even in bright sun. SkyCaddie also measures exactly how far you hit on each shot to guide your club selection.

SkyCaddie is powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery; a full four-hour charge delivers up to 14 hours of power (AC charger included). Also comes with a USB cable for downloading course data files; access SkyCourse data on thousands of golf courses at skygolf.com (requires an annual membership fee). Stores 10 courses. Rugged, water-resistant case is 5.4″ x 2.2″ x 1″. 90-day warranty.
