Sometimes what’s needed is simplicity out of a charcoal grille, and this little machine absolutely fits the bill! It starts with the fact that this barbecue is all-weather; no more worrying about the grille rusting up if you leave it out in the rain. Its wheels will stay in good shape, and the grille itself is porcelain enamelled, giving it the tough strength to survive some inclement weather.
The best thing about Weber One Touch Premium, hands down, is how easy it is to clean. Some may remember an old, cheap grille they once had, back in college. The ash removal grate was rusted shut (thanks again for the rust-free design, Weber!), and so the only method for getting rid of the ashes from previous grille sessions was to turn the whole thing upside down and dump out the ash – a very cumbersome and messy task! Thanks to the efficient design, all that must be done to remove the ash from this clever little machine is to open one lever, open three more grates, and simply dispose of the ashes wherever you would like them, from the container at the bottom.
The belly of this grille is deeper as well, allowing for easier indirect grilling, to barbecue in more ways than just flambé. This grille even comes with a measuring cup so it’s easy to see precisely how much charcoal to add to get cooking.
In summary, Weber One Touch Premium is everything one could want in a charcoal grill, and worth the price.
Though they may look like nothing more than a raver’s fashion accessory, the new Cyglo Tyres are actually marketed as a safety device. Consisting of a number of LEDs that are actually embedded into the rubber of bicycle tyres, the Cyglo units light up brilliantly when the bike is ridden. James Tristram, the inventor of the gadget, claims that the idea behind it is to better the visibility of riders at night.
Of course, it should fit quite well with any number of subcultures. Cyglo Tyres are an excellent way to garner attention; so many vibrant youths will be sure to pick up on the new invention. However, some have said that LEDs won’t stand up to the stress of being ridden on.

The Tandem USB connector is an excellent way to add more functionality to USB ports. With the increasing number of USB-compatible devices these days, it’s often difficult to find enough ports to connect all of the devices. The Tandem USB connector allows multiple devices to be plugged into the same port at the same time. Genius!
Not only is the Tandem USB connector eye-catching and colourful, it’s also a useful alternative to a USB hub. USB hubs also allow multiple devices to be connected at once, but the hub itself takes up much more space on the desktop. A great bonus of the Tandem USB is that its coloured cords make it especially easy to keep cords organised and untangled.
It’s an interesting concept for now. What do you think?
