Portable theatre Lighting
Looking for a portable solar powered generator for home, thoughts on good options?
To serve as a back-up in case of power outages (due to storms knocking down power lines) and brown/black outs (due to expected demand/supply gaps). I like the idea of making use of the primary cause of upticks in the global climate...you know, the huge nuclear ball in the sky...aka the freakin' SUN.
Criteria:
- budget is $500 - $750
- portable
- capable of powering ceiling halogen and regular lights, multiple computers/monitors and my crazy home theatre 
- for as much as 2-3 days
Thank me very much.
Now you know why the public utilities burn fossil fuel.

One Of My Favorite New Gadgets Available!
At least for the moment anyway. There are constantly gadgets and new technology popping up every single day. From iPods that fit in your back pocket and fit 4000 songs, to James Bond watches that actually do James Bond "stunts" to 3 inch laptops, we really have a lot of different things to choose from. If I was a billionaire, I would spend all my money on fast cars and gadgets. Lots and lots of gadgets! In this article, I'm going to list my favorite gadget of the moment.
Video Glasses are really starting to become incredibly popular. I first found out about these when I was on a plane heading to the south of Florida, they had one of these little gadget sky mall magazines, and as I was flipping through it I found these cool little video glasses. At first look your either going to ooh and ahh or you're going to completely miss the point and sigh about "another" ridiculous gadget hitting the shelves. For your information, these glasses are awesome! So how do they work? Simple, these glasses can be connected to your PC or laptop through the VGA and or AV jack and function as a monitor to play games online or watch movies online. You can also use these glasses to connect to your video game console and watch the game through the glasses.
By "through" the glasses I mean, there is a small virtual screen "in" the glasses, when you look straight ahead or in some cases side to side, you can see the video being played as well as hear the sounds through tiny speakers that are implanted on the glasses. Listed below are some of the specs for these virtual glasses:

These things are just incredible, and honestly the price isn't half bad either, your looking at around $300. I kind of like the price because for one thing you know they aren't going to be some cheap product that is going to break the next day and for two you know this product is made for stability, comfort, usage, and convenience. If it was $15, I would be a little worried personally!

About the Author
This author is a HUGE fan of Video Glasses
Thanks TWM and conrgrats. The biggest thing I ever drove was a 3.5 tonne lorry when many years ago I worked as a theatre lighting technician. Drove most of the way from London to a venue in Edinburgh – took one look at the gap I had to reverse it into to unload and immediately started finding someone else to drive the last 20 yards for me.
Ever since then I've shunned big wheely things. For driving at least.
