Backpack with a 3-Pronged Outlet

three prong backpack Backpack with a 3 Pronged Outlet
Now this seems like a pretty good idea. From the “why hasn’t anyone thought of this before” department comes a Kickstarter for the GoPlug powered bag. The idea is simple- a backpack with a battery pack inside and a 3-pronged outlet to plug ANYTHING in. Other powered bags (and we reviewed a good one here) typically only have a USB plug or similar to charge your gadgets. With this bag you can plug in your laptop! That’s huge.
goplug power bag Backpack with a 3 Pronged Outlet
Great for travelers. There’s also a pair of USB ports there too. The GoPlug bag has a large capacity 15000mAh battery inside, which is good enough to charge an iPhone up fully 7 times over. The outlet swivels for maximum flexibility too. Now of course the 3rd prong is not going to be grounding your electronics like most “real” 3 prong outlets, but at least you can plug in grounded plugs. Good idea and they plan on making other types of bags with the outlet built-in should this one get fully funded on Kickstarter. (via gizmodo)

Aero-Tray for Better Airplane Laptop Usage

aero tray Aero Tray for Better Airplane Laptop Usage
Using a laptop on an airplane can be an exercise in frustration with today’s tight seating quarters and small tray tables. The Aero-Tray is a patented z-form stand for your laptop or tablet that promises to make things better. Invented by Norman Korpi (from the original MTV Real World series in NY!!!), this is a well thought out versatile travel accessory. First off is the pull out drink holding tray which lets you use your computer and hold a beverage at a spill-safe level below the keyboard. Smart.

The Z-shape lets you angle the tray just the right way so you can use your computer without crunching your screen on the seatback in front of you. Adjust it to a proper ergonomic angle to prevent eye and wrist strain. That little lip in the front lifts up so you can use a tablet, Kindle, or actual book without it sliding off.

The tray has rubber feet to keep it in place as well as a pair of elastic straps in case your pilot tries to do a barrel roll or something. The whole tray folds up for easy portability and weighs just 1.5 pounds. It measures 14″W x 9 5/8″D x 1 1/4″H. You can use it on planes but also in places like coffee shops, waiting rooms, or your own home. Available at Travelsmith and Bed Bath and Beyond (most likely in the “beyond” section).

Banana Hammock on a Bike

banana hammock bike Banana Hammock on a Bike
I’ve heard of a banana seat for a bicycle but never a Banana Hammock. True, bananas are a great natural source of energy ideal for grueling outdoor sports like cycling. BUT, do you really need a leather sling just to tote around a single banana with you at all times? Yes? Well it goes beyond just the bike- why not strap it to your belt?
banana hammock belt Banana Hammock on a Bike
Just don’t lean back against any walls. I bet Batman never had that on his utility belt. You could also probably put some other types of fruits in there too- cucumbers? pickles? banana peppers? plantains? Bike on, bananaman. Bike on. (via boingboing)

A Cooking Grate that Fits on a Spare Tire

spare tire grill A Cooking Grate that Fits on a Spare Tire
Taking along a campfire grill to do some cooking in the great outdoors is a lot easier with the Front Runner Spare Tire Mount BBQ Grate. When you’re not using it, it slips right over your spare tire, taking up a minimum amount of space. When ready to grill, take the stainless steel grate off the tire (important!), place it on your campfire and throw on some meat. It’s gotta be meat- always meat.
camping grill A Cooking Grate that Fits on a Spare Tire
Ok maybe pancakes would also be acceptable as long as there’s a bacon possibility. There’s 2 grill and one griddle sections for different cooking options. It also folds up and the legs detach, which sort of negates the whole point of it going over your tire, right? Still, it’s an interesting way to taking a camping grill along for the ride.

HotLogic Mini Personal Portable Oven

hotlogic personal oven HotLogic Mini Personal Portable Oven
Marvin Gaye might have said, “ooooh baby, I’m hot just like an oven” but if your food is cold, nowhere near a kitchen and needs some lovin’, this is what you need. Marvin might disagree with that but the HotLogic Mini Personal Portable Oven, Black HotLogic Mini Personal Portable Oven is an insulated box with a flat heating element on the bottom (that’s also the uber technical description of an oven, I guess). You can place any flat-bottomed sealable container up to 8.75″W x 6.75″L x 2.5″H inside it to heat up- whether it’s metal, plastic, glass, cardboard, or ceramic. Plug it in and your food heats up- you know how ovens work, right?
hotlogic mini personal oven HotLogic Mini Personal Portable Oven
You should note that this “oven” only gets to a regulated 200 degrees, so it’s actually more like a slow-cooker. But it’s great for on-the-go reheating and even some slow cooking. It has a carrying handle so you can bring your oven to the office, picnics, tailgating, ice fishing, regular fishing, going to the fish market, seeing Phish, and to the pet store to buy more fish.
