Something about a warm day receding into a balmy night makes you want to get your friends together for a party, even if you live in a city where the nights never quite make it to "balmy." Wherever you are, the need to throw a bash during the long days of Summer is undeniable, and what do you need besides ample food and drink? Gadgets!

When things start to heat up in the lazy hazy days of Summer, we all have our ways of cooling down when the temperatures rise — like jumping into a pool, fully clothed. But even though we can treat our bodies like that, we can't do that to our laptops! So to prevent you from getting a laptop born on your legs in addition to a sunburn, I've compiled some products to keep your computer cooled down and working like it's supposed to.

If you've got the day off work and plan to take part in some Fourth of July festivities, have I got the chair for you! Taking you from poolside parties during the day to fireworks shows at night, the
G-Flex Sound Booster Portable Audio Chair by Pyramat is not only a comfortable rest station for your butt, it's also a mini entertainment hub!
Powered by four AA batteries, this media chair features two built-in hi-fi performance speakers, and can easily connect to your portable gaming device, MP3 player and even a TV.

Real Simple has some refreshingly sweet and earnest
wallpapers for your desktop, each with a thought or quote to inspire you, or at least keep you going until it's time to leave. Don't worry, for those of you who were scared off by the funky
iPhoneky wallpapers, these are mostly tame still-life images.
There are 19 Daily Thought wallpapers (not to be confused with
Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey, although those quotes are a different kind of inspiration), so there's not quite one to switch to for every day of the year, but it's a start.

I've already touched on a few waterproof cameras in my
waterproof gadgets slideshow, but here's a newbie that should have made the list! The bright and bold
Olympus Stylus Waterproof Digital Cam, (they advertise it as being orange, but it's totally yellow), offers 7.1-megapixels, a beautiful 2.5-inch LCD screen for viewing your pics and waterproof capabilities down to 10 feet. And the price tag?
