The guys over at MakeZine have instructions on how to make your own Rubiks cube with dice, magnets and epoxy resin. According to Make, the original Rubiks cube was connected with magnets, and shortly after they introduced the mechanism that can still be found in Rubiks cubes today.

These Rubiks cubes made of dice actually look real cool and I am tempted to go make one my self. I will post pics if I get around to it.

Umbrella tells you if you need to use it

With the weather not knowing what it is doing most of the time, it is handy to have one of these ambient umbrellas. On the handle is a ring of LEDs which glow according to the weather. The umbrella picks up the weather reports via a wireless network, GSM I believe, and just a glance at the handle of the umbrella can indicate if you should think about taking it with you for the day. Its not a bad idea, although predicting the weather is still questionable… so I guess they have preventions in place to stop you taking legal action when you get soaked when it told you it would be dry.

Move around secretly in your luxury sub

If you have had success financially in life and are not convinced that a luxury Yacht is for you, then you might want to go buy yourself a luxury custom built submarine. The company who produces them is called U.S. Submarines of Portland Ore. According to one source there are now about 100 private subs sneaking through the oceans of the world.

Cost of having your own submarine is anywhere from $12 million up to $80 million depending on size and the features kitted out inside. For a decent sized 10 passenger sub you can expect to pay around $15 million.

Feature packed wireless router from Belkin

Belkin have introduced a cool wireless router which features a screen on the front of the device which can give feedback on various aspects of what is happening on the network. The first mode available is just a regular time and date feature. By clicking on one of the arrows on the front of the device you can then switch to different information pages such as the current broadband connection speed, info on currently connected wifi devices, connection speeds of each of the connected wireless devices, usage over the last 24 hours and guest access information. Overall there isnt too much else that you wouldnt find. I do admit that for those who sit by their wireless router, this information is very handy to have when trouble shooting a network issue as you can see who the bandwidth hogs are, or if there is a problem in general with your broadband connection. Check out the demo over at Belkin to see how it all works.

Features

The N1 from Belkin is an 802.11n compliant device with 3×3 radio design along with wired gigabit ports. Due to the speed at which this N1 router runs, it is ideal for those who transfer a lot of data either wirelessly or wired through out their home. Set up it fairly straight forwards as it is with most routers.

When my current router is due to be replaced, I think I will be taking a closer look at the Belkin B1 vision wireless router.
