Range — Sun, 13 Nov 2011 19:00:20 +0000

The holy grail in laptop bags is finding one that’s completely weatherproof and still manages to look good. Having a completely weatherproof bag can put your mind at ease, especially if you lug your tablet and laptop around daily. The Fitzroy Rucksack from the Mission Workshop is such a bag and it’s available now.

It is made from waterproof fabrics and has a military spec construction. This coupled with a lifetime warranty should make it almost bomb-proof. Okay, it’s not bomb-proof, but it should keep your laptop safe from most of the elements. There are multiple compartments, urethane coated zippers, and an internal frame sheet to give the back a bit of stability. The large zippered pocket will fit most 17″ laptops, and the smaller pockets hold your other gadgets and gear.

The Fitzroy Rucksack is made in the USA and sells for $219 (USD) over at the Mission Workshop store.

Getting ready to throw that last big pool party before the Summer comes to an end? There’s nothing better than a Luau themed party, complete with a variety of rum-and-fruit-juice-infused cocktails served in some Tiki Tumblers. What better way to complement your Luau but with some matching Tiki speakers (blasting some appropriate Elvis or Israel Ka’ano’i Kamakawiwo’ole, of course) to set the mood?

These fun new Luau Luey speakers from TikiToonz should do the trick just fine. Based on the classic Polynesian carvings, these outdoor speakers crank out 80 watts per channel and are made from durable weather-resistant enclosures. They’re perfect poolside or anywhere you want to set that retro Tiki bar look.

A pair of the speakers retails for $149.95 USD from the TikiToonz website. And no – it doesn’t matter how many Zombies or Mai Tais you serve me, I won’t wear that grass skirt and do the hula.

Take one part wet bar, one part living room, one part barbeque pit and one part home theater and you’ll begin to understand the magnificent grandeur of the Ultimate Outdoor Theater from Cal Spas.

The hot tub and sauna maker recently showed off this amazing outdoor living space which could be the envy of the whole neighborhood. The highlight is a complete home theater system with a 63-inch LCD flat panel HDTV, surround sound, iPod docking station, Sirius satellite radio, and hookups for gaming consoles. Also on board for the party are a five-burner BBQ grill, a wet bar, weatherproof recliners with cup holders and two fire pits. On top of that, the theater system is built to marine grade specifications for protection from the elements. And while you’re at it, why not add on one of Cal Spas hot tubs to round out your backyard paradise?

Assuming you have the money to burn for this this over-the-top setup, you’re probably living in a nice enough neighborhood where you don’t need to worry about someone walking off with your DVD player.
