Metronomes are meant for budding musicians to keep the beat while playing a tune, and the BodyBeat Metronome is certainly out of the ordinary as it is an electronic version that clips onto your fingertip, letting you feel the beat of the music instead of listening to it. Dubbed the Peterson BB-1 BodyBeat, it sends tiny pulses down the wire to your fingertip, providing you with a silent way of learning how to concentrate whenever you play a tune on your keyboard or piano. Sure as heck beats the irritating tick-tock tick-tock of a regular metronome. The Peterson BB-1 BodyBeat retails for a shade less than a Benjamin.

Ladies and gentlemen, it’s barbeque season, time to brave all forms of salmonella, e.coli and charcoal induced cancers and burn hunks of flesh over the coals (just be sure to leave them raw, bloody and cold on the inside).

Sure, you can bury the meat in a pit in the ground, or just throw together a cooling rack and a turkey tin, but we know that you, Gadget Lab reader, expects a little more from your cooking kit. You want bells and whistles. Below you can read our guide to the seasons best (and worst) broiling bric-a-brac.

Evasolo

There are a few kinds of barbeque. The ones that burn gas and the ones that burn charcoal. Whatever you decide, look for one with a lid so you can crank up the heat for bigger pieces of meat (if you get it hot enough, you can even cook a pizza in there). You should have dual levels, so you have somewhere to both cook things more slowly and also to just keep things warm. And unless you want to bring out the kitchen table, look for a model with shelves at the sides. Folding is good, for easy storage.

Or you could go for the Evasolo grill. A 23″ wide stainless steel bucket which will cost you $1750. This is a triumph of form over function. Even the cover for the large model costs $230, more than the whole summer’s beer budget. We can’t see any reason why you would want this, unless you a have such poor communication skills that starting a conversation is harder than starting a fire. The grill does, though, come with a lid, which means it is also the world’s most expensive beer table.

Barbegrill

In the opposite direction is the Barbegrill, a butane powered tabletop cheapie for $30. It takes the same gas cartridges you’d use for a camping stove and is therefore adjustable. You won’t get the real taste of cooking over wood. In fact, you might as well grab the person at the party that you least like and stick them in the kitchen with the regular ol’ kitchen broiler. It is, though, faster, cleaner and more convenient than a charcoal barbie.

Barbecue Grill Tools

Now you have your fire, you’ll need something to keep that meat moving. You could, of course, use your regular utensils, but we all know that half the fun of outdoor pursuits is the kit. Barbeque Grill Tools is a site that sells just that. From a trainee-chef style aluminum case full of tongs, scrapers and spatulas (the Fiero) to a granny-pleasing wooden handled set in a wicker basket, complete with oven mitt (the Phoenix), BGT has most of what you’ll need, and cheap. Or you could do like we do and go ghetto. A set of tongs and a slice are plenty. And forget the fancy BBQ brush. A wad of kitchen paper dipped in oil and wielded with tongs is all the lube you’ll need.

Magnetic BBQ Utensil Light

Lastly, a piece of kit so useless we couldn’t not include it. Exactly what it sounds like, the light is a stick-on headlamp for your utensils. This $15 widget brings added excitement to any outdoor grill-fest: Thrill! at the nylon swivel mount that could melt at any moment. Gasp! as the unit drops into the fire and the batteries become a tiny time-bomb, and Wonder! why you spent more on this piece of tat than you did on all the cheap pet store meat.

Japanese are very big on saving space, and this is where the Somela Fast Dehydrator comes in. This extremely tiny drying solution is capable of drying clothes within a mere 5 minutes, and doesn’t even use heat just in case delicate pieces of clothing within gets damaged. Unfortunately, this isn’t automatic as it requires a certain degree of manual interaction, including holding clothes while the device pulls. I’d recommend you having a certain degree of spare time if you want to have a crack at the Somela Fast Dehydrator. It can be purchased for $173.

More Hello Kitty stuff to terrorize all you anti-Hello Kitty fans - this time round, we have a Sanrio-licensed Solar Power Charger featuring Japan’s favorite pasty-faced feline. It comes with the necessary connectors to charge your mp3 player, digital camera, and PDA amongst others, as long as these devices rely on a USB port. Should the weather conditions be less than favorable for a sunbath, there is always the option to juice it up using DC power. Sunlight works better though, as it offers up to 6 hours of power while DC power nets you only 60 minutes. The Hello Kitty Solar Power Charger is strictly for hardcore Hello Kitty collectors only, since this device costs a throat-cutting $159.99.

What can you do with a toy built out of 216 tiny high-energy rare-earth magnets? Well, you can make just about any shape you wish. It’s the NeoCube.

NeoCube is being touted as an entertainment device that serves as a ”dual hemisphere brain stimulator”, a “stress reliever” and a “boredom buster” according to the seller. What it is mainly depends on you and your imagination. NeoCube can bend, fold, tear-apart and then come back together again.  Take a look at the video to see the NeoCube in action to see what it can do.

At $39.95 you might want to pick one up to play with at your desk. You could find yourself wasting an afternoon just seeing what you can make with one. Just be sure to keep the little ones away from the NeoCube. Swallowing the magnetic spheres would be very dangerous.
