Goodness knows how many times you’ve missed your favorite of part of the song because of some loud noise or distraction. Thankfully, the invention of noise canceling headphones has come to our aid.

Recently released by Sennheiser is a brand new line of noise canceling headphones called the PXC 450s. Said to provide a ‘cloak of silence’, this high tech gadget will block out 90% of all that annoying noise around you, allowing you fully concentrate on whatever you may be listening to. The PXC 450s will run off of AAA batteries.

A neat little feature that is included is a TalkThrough button. Basically, you push the button so that you can hear what is being said, speak you mind, press the button and return to your music. In fact, it’s just a fancy way of saying a pause button isn’t it?

Stephen Hawking is a name that by now we all know well. The Cambridge professor, best selling author and the world’s reigning expert on black holes is now set to take a zero-gravity ride out of Cape Canaveral. Since he has spent most of his life working around the nature of gravity, it seems only fit that he should experience it himself, first hand.

Said the executive of Zero G, “the idea of giving the world’s expert on gravity the opportunity to experience zero gravity” was irresistible. He will be accompanied by his own medical team to make sure that all is well with the genius.

Hawking, now 65, suffers from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and is unable to move any part of his body, save his eyes and a small part of his fingers. Though this particular disease usually kills …

Recently released from Makita is the brand new BMR100 FM/AM Job Site Radio. Weighing in at approximately 9.2lbs, this radio delivers “rich stereo sound from two powerful 3.25 side-firing drivers.” Similar to the other Makita tools, the BMR100 is designed with a rugged weather resistance for tough jobsite conditions with a protective bumper design for additional durability. Should you ever happen to drop an anvil on this baby, it should be able to withstand it.

Even against an accidental bucket of water poured on it, the BMR100 should be able to hold its own. The super durable radion runs for “two working days” or 16 hours on a single charge, which in most cases I’m familiar that’s really only one working day but still pretty good nonetheless. It includes volume and tuning dials for easy control and has 10 preset FM/AM buttons.

Move over that old-school black plastic slab that is your keyboard; the guys over at Elekson have come up with a new roll-up fabric keyboard. Been there, done that, right? Well here’s the thing – flip the keyboard over and reveal a second keyboard on the other side!

This new keyboard is certainly one to show off to the friends and family. Although no comment can be made on how practical it is, we …
