ChiliPad keeps your bed cool (or warm)

Gizmo of the Day, Home Automation / By /

ChiliPadRemember the Chillow (the chilled pillow)? Take that one step further, and you have the ChiliPad which cools your whole bed. Actually, it regulates the temperature of your bed, but since most folks seem to have more of a problem with the bed being too warm, they went with the ‘chill’ theme.

The ChiliPad is an advanced mattress pad that heats and cools your bed. You can tune the temperature to anywhere between 46 and 118F. Sleep research has shown that you sleep better at temperatures between 60 and 68F.

ChiliPad uses water instead of air, and it flows through the soft coils in the pad that you place on top of your mattress under your sheets.

Oh yes, if you’d like, you can just toss your mattress and get a ChiliBed.

Price: $397-$1005 (depending on size of pad)

2 Comments / Networking & Internet, News, Portable / By /

iPad According to Apple’s support site:

A very small number of iPad users have experienced issues with Wi-Fi connectivity. This article outlines workarounds for these issues. Apple will also address remaining Wi-Fi connectivity issues with a future iPad software update.

While perhaps some spin is involved from the Apple camp with the phrase “A very small number”, at least Apple has acknowledged the Wi-Fi issues and plan to address in an upcoming update.

3 Comments / Networking & Internet, Portable / By /

iPad appsIn a couple of days I will have had my iPad for an entire month. In the past four weeks, my laptop and desktop machines have seen a considerable drop in use from me as the iPad has taken over several functions I had used them for.

The apps represented in my Top 12 Favorite iPad Apps are the ones that have helped the most with this transition plus a few other iPad apps that simply have caught my fancy.

I have a feeling this list will continue to change on a weekly basis with a few exceptions (the top 4 or 5 for example).

Let’s get started with the countdown with #12…
