Jet lagged? Perk UP with Viagra!

Here’s something I had never heard of before. We all know the most common reason for someone to take Viagra, and it’s got nothing to do with airplane travel. But apparently, there’s been a little bit of buzz about how Viagra, besides its obvious use, can help treat jet lag in travelers.

Cell phone jammer

Back when talk began about allowing passengers to use their cell phones during specific flight times, there was quite an uproar. Most people were extremely unhappy about the idea of being trapped thousands of feet in the air in a giant tube, stuck beside some idiot who would sit and have a fight with […]

Just in time for the weekend - MyOpenBar.com!

I figured this is great timing since it’s the weekend and people are maybe looking to celebrate the end of the corporate work week with a little road trip and maybe a few beers (not together folks - drive safely!).
If you’re going to be in New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, or Chicago […]

Your health records on a USB Flash Card

Here’s one of those things that sounds like it should be convenient but it’s also a bit scary. The Wallet MediCard allows you to essentially carry your medical history in your pocket. It’s a wallet sized USB Flash Card and you can carry everything you might ever need for any medical situation.

Keep a flask under your foot

From the “no WAY” files - let’s say you’re hitting Cancun or Punta Cana right smack dab in the middle of Spring Break and you want to party it up without the hassle of fighting your way through the crowds to get to the bar. Or maybe you’re so comfortable on the beach that […]

Find Adult Entertainment With Your GPS

Okay, this is a gadget/service that will do absolutely nothing for me and it’s in somewhat questionable taste, but your mileage may vary depending on your, uh, interests.
If you’re using a GPS device to find your way around and your idea of entertainment involves less in the way of fine dining and Broadway shows and […]

Solar powered car

How green do you want to be when you head out on your road trip? Green enough to drive around in this solar powered car from Taiwan? It’s roughly $24K, and that gives you a fairly unattractive vehicle without doors (hello, safety issue?). While it will run under solar power, the battery […]

A travel aid we didn’t need

Air France and OnAir have teamed up to make in-flight mobile phone service a possibility on international flights. With the service, passengers can send and receive SMS, send and receive email, and during the second trial phase they can make and receive calls as well.
They made mention of the service “being regulated […]

Cell phone stun gun

Now here’s something I’d love your opinion on!

This looks like a fairly typical cell phone, yes? However, it’s also something that can be used for your own protection, and I could see it being marketed towards people who enjoy solo travel, especially women. Although it doesn’t actually function as a cell phone, it […]
