Gear up for camping with the Eureka N!ergy tent with power outlets

How many times have you run out of battery power on your cell phone or mp3 player during a camping trip and wished that you could somehow charge them? Or just longed for a power outlet that you could plug your hair dryer into? If you find yourself nodding in agreement, your knight-in-shining-armor could very well be the N!ergy tent from Eureka.

The company, which specializes in camping gear, has designed the cool N!ergy tent with three 12V outlets right within the tent, with the wiring completely concealed.

What you need to do is buy a rechargeable battery source called the E! Power Pak (sold separately) and charge it before your camping trip. Then, plug it into the wiring system and you are ready to power upto 3 devices at once. In addition, there are glowing outlets throughout the tent for easy access to the power outlets in the dark.

Choose from three different sizes accommodating 5 (N!ergy 9), 8 (N!ergy 1210) or 10 (N!ergy 1310) people. Toss in an additional $50 for the E! Power Pak and get set for a geeky camping trip.

I might be excessive to have power outlets but if your girlfriend won’t leave without the ability to use her hairdryer then your set. Or if you simply get kicked out of the house for the night you can take the Wii and play it in the backyard.

Beer Blog Continued

Well since my last post was about beer and I found another interesting piece of info on beer, I guess its ok to post another beer related article. Well apparently Canadian brewers have developed a beer that helps reduce cholesterol. They have several ingredients that have studies demonstrating their abilities to reduce LDL counts. Which is the bad form of cholesterol. Here is an excerpt from the article from Gadgetell.

A new light beer from Canada claims that if you drink two a day, your overall cholesterol and LDL cholesterol numbers will drop. Seriously.

The secret to Heart Start beer lies in two parts: plant sterol and barley beta glucan. The FDA states that the plant sterol reduces overall and LDL cholesterol numbers. The beta glucan has been clinically proven to lower cholesterol and increase satiety for weight watching hopefuls, and even yields the ability for humans to fly. Ok, I made that last one up.

A beer your doctor will ok? Sounds good to me.

Pass me one to go with my brats!
