3D TV’s Breakout in 2012?

3D TV’s have been trying to break into the mainstream for some time now, will 2012 be the year? They were certainly the buzz at this years Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas.

Sony is making a big push with both 3D TV’s and movies. They introduced a 60″ Brvia LX Series that is ultra thin and looks pretty amazing.

But Panasonic was the WOW of the 3D TV market introducing its 152″ 3D Plasma TV. Yes – 152 inches! 3D aside, this is one amazing visual display – the resolution is 4000 x 2000 – that is where the WOW comes in. You have to see this TV to appreciate the clarity. It will be available this spring, so I have some time to convince my wife to make some room on the wall!

At this point, 3D seems like a novelty to me and I’m not sure if it will really take off until it’s just another feature that comes with nearly every TV.

Check out the video above for more details on these cool new TV’s coming in 2012.

Beer Pong Table for Old Dudes

Ok, I admit… we have a beer pong table that is just two plywood pieces that fold up (to be portable). It’s been good for many years. But we’re getting older now and something like this appeals to the grown-up in me.

The modernly crafted wood is shaped like a sleek skate ramp, the legs from cast iron and there are a set of red plexiglass cut outs on either end that are lit underneath by a set of LED lights. No screws or nails in this baby. It seems like something that would be nice to look at while I quince my thirst and get competitive.

This is an amazing invention. It uses similar technology as a touch lamp. The saw can tell the difference between your hand and the wood and turns itself off before you can even feel it.

Stopwatches are fine if you’re timing simple stuff. But when it comes to interval training or multi-exercise workout routines you really need a dedicated interval timer. This allows you to set a work interval, plus a rest interval, of two different times. Look no further then the Gymboss. Hit Amazon to save a few bucks. I personally went with the new slightly ‘rubberized’ version which is a bit more durable then the standard plastic shell.

Using water to do stuff is cool. Our post on the water fueled torch created quite the discussion. But how about a water fueled car? (Man you can find anything on Youtube). Well check check out the video, apparently all you need is a mason jar, some tubing and a whole load of crazy. In no time your car will be a melting heap on the side of the road. WTF?
