Super Moon This Sunday - The Next Time You Can See It Is 2033!

 

"The total lunar eclipse will last about one hour and 12 minutes, according to NASA. It will be seen in North and South America, as well as Europe, Africa, parts of West Asia and the eastern Pacific. 

However, skywatchers can camp out early for the partial lunar eclipse, which will begin at 8 p.m. ET in the United States. As the planet's shadow dims the supermoon, this will create dramatic viewing opportunities for observers. The eclipse will reach its peak during the 10 o'clock hour, giving the supermoon a reddish, copper-like hue. The event should end after midnight. 

Unlike solar eclipses, which need to be viewed with special eye gear, the lunar eclipse can be seen with the naked eye after nightfall." (Read more here).

Check Out This New Washer

Face it, laundry is something that we all have an abundance of. It is the chore that is never done, no matter how hard you try. Between the clothes that you're wearing and the pile that's waiting to go to the dry cleaners it is truly one of life's most daunting tasks. Our friends over at LG have made things a little bit easier. A washing machine that can do TWO loads at once! Granted, one is a tad small, but its a great place to wash that one red shirt that is dirty or those few more delicate items when your main focus at the time should be that load of towels on your bathroom floor. Now if only they could produce a Washer/Dryer System that switched over the laundry and folded it when it was done.

Nespresso VertuoLine

If you think I have a little more kick in my step these coming days, it is because I have my new Nespresso VertoLine procured from Sur La Table.  Thank you Richard and Shahrdad for telling me about it!  I first experienced Nespresso coffee at their display booth at the World's Cup Village last summer while in San Francisco. I wanted one of their machines, though it just did espresso and cappuccino.  I wanted a regular cup of coffee easily in the morning.  The new VertuLine machine makes regular coffee and espresso....different-sized cartridges.

Pebble Smart Watches

Over the weekend I saw my first Pebble Smart Watch that can be used with iPhones or Androids.  Imagine responding to texts on your wrist and more!  You can not talk on this one. Read more HERE. The person who was wearing this said it is great when in the pool or gym to respond to texts!

Nest

I want to buy one of these new Nest thermostats. Not only are they designed well, though they can save you 14-22% on your energy bill.  Use the ap to turn your heat up when you land coming home from vacation and find your home toasty warm when you walk in the front door! Find one at the Apple Store or Lowes.

Cool iPhone Case

I saw an artist friend at Fozzie's (Big Bend- Yummy sandwich shop!) and admired his iPhone case.  Real wood and brass. Find it at EXOvault.

Sonos

Here was my challenge....I needed speakers on my deck though my basement is finished and they can not run the wires.  It seems that my attic access was an issue also.  I tried the wireless speaker system, though it never seemed to work very well and was always staticy.  I had the Best Buy Geek Squad come over and they had a great solution.....Sonos.  I now have a portable speaker for the deck that runs off of my wireless internet system.  This is all tied into my regular stereo system and speakers. The cool thing is that I can have unlimited zones and play different music in each zone.  This all can be commanded through my iPhone. It is not cheap, though very cool.
