This water pool can create waves in any shape you can imagine. Not just rough sketches, but perfectly clear shapes like hearts, stars with hard angular points, and even a musical note.
Google Earth is great to use – until it bites you on the bum and alerts the authorities to the existence of your swimming pool. After Greece found out backyard swimmers last year, a US town is cracking down now.
No beach? No problem. No pool? No problem. These 10 gadgets will still help you beat the heat in your own backyard.

It won’t be long before summer is here, so prepare yourself for some poolside partying with the Aqua Sounders wireless speaker and mood lighting ball.
Your Stormtrooper getup works great for conventions with A/C, but what do you do in the dead of summer? That plastic doesn’t breathe. Luckily, Jakks Pacific is releasing a large line of Star Wars inflatables.

Kudos to the design team at the UK-based firm Freshwest for putting a fresh, humourous spin on the concept of what a pool table should be. What they have developed is actually a coffee table constructed out of 50mm acrylic that reflects and refracts light “in such a way that it resembled the depth and hue of an actual swimming [pool] .” It even features a miniature diving board on one end to complete the effect. Unfortunately, there is no word on whether this will ever become available to the public. Seems like too good of an idea to remain in the prototype stage if you ask me.
