This winter, you could enjoy the recreational abilities that snow offers just like every other snow-going individual. Or, you could do one, possibly two better and go “all out”. Leave mere snowboarding to commoners. You deserve so much better. Introducing, the gas-powered snowboard.
A 6-1/2 horsepower motor, 250lb. weight capacity, 18mph top speed, and two hours of runtime on a 3/4-gallon tank mean “fun” has a new meaning. To be honest though, the 18mph top speed is pretty slow all things considered. The human body can hit 2x-3x times that on a decent slope. I see the gas-powered snowboard as move of a transportation device between slopes more than the only way of getting down a hill. Of course, this thing would rock for going back up…
Oh yeah, there’s a small sticking point — it costs $2,500

At first, hearing the words “gas oven” and “cooler” together will strike you as odd. But in the case of the Gas Oven Laptop Cooler, it makes a little more sense. Laptop coolers are a dime a dozen so when a manufacturer of said products tries to do something different, it can either go very well, or…not so well. In this case, they mostly succeed. The GOLC is a relatively small yet powerful laptop cooler with two big fans in use to keep your lappy cool and happy. One other nifty feature that should please mobile warriors is the USB power — no wall socket in sight. Granted, if you completely without a wall socket, using this will cause your battery to drain faster. Then again, if your laptop is starting to melt, I can see where your decision making might be altered. Finally, a nice blue glow shines from within letting you know when you do and don’t have sweet sweet electricity flowing through the device itself. The light is slightly gimmicky but a cool feature none the less. Oh yeah, I almost forgot — it’s shaped like a gas stove *face palm*.
Seeing as how most laptop coolers are $40+, are you willing to walk out on a limb for $12.69 and save a few dollars in the process? I hear limb walking is all the rage these days…
