Inspector Gadget

Those who know me know that I am an electronics/gadget junky. I love getting some cool new gadget to play with. So yesterday I go get the mail and I see on the cover of FHM they have their big holiday gadget issue. Now they had some really cool stuff in there, but a lot of it was way out of my price range. Sure I would love a $6000 plasma TV, but So I decided to write a post about one of the coolest, somewhat affordable gadgets I have seen in a long time. And yes, I'm asking Santa (aka Rachel) to bring me this for Christmas. I first saw it at Best Buy the other night and have been fascinated by it since.

It a universal remote that has no buttons!!! When the remote is powered off, it's just a solid field of blue. But then when it's powered on, the buttons are illuminated and ready for clicking. It's really an ingenious design. It does macros too which is really neat if you have a home theatre. Lets say you want to watch a DVD. You can program a macro to turn on your tv, turn on your DVD plater, switch to the proper video input on your tv and power on your surround sound with the push of one button. Swwwwweeeeet!!!

Happy Holidays!!!

Ya know, I showed the remote to Eugene and he made a good point. Since the remote doesn't have any buttons, I'll be more likely to have to look down at the buttons each time I need to change the channel. Normall you can sort of feel where the buttons are and click away without having to look. So I may have to explore other options.
