No, it’s not an announcement for another Back to the Future movie, rather it’s for the car that starred in the 80’s films.

A group of gearheads down in Houston, Texas have already bought up about 200 of of the original DeLorean engines and will begin to build them from scratch next year.

Ambient Devices, which specializes in integrating internet information into everyday products, has come up with yet another gadget.

They’ve now developed an umbrella that can forecast the weather for you. If the umbrella senses rain within 12 hours, the handle will light up. If there is to be light rain, the handle will also send out soft, intermittent pulses, while if it’s expecting heavy rain then the pattern will turn heavy and intense.

Ambient has teamed up with the forecast site, Accuweather.com, to help get it’s weather information.

The umbrella is set to go on sale this week and will run for about $140.

To all who may never make the cut or aren’t passionate enough to achieve this as your life’s goal: I give you Rock Band. Developed by Harmonix Music Systems and published by MTV Games , Rock Band is basically Guitar Hero, but you jam with an entire band!

Three other band members may participate: lead vocals, a bassist, and a drummer. The lead vocalist must be able to carry a tune and hit those high notes in order achieve a high score (kind of similar to that American Idol video game). Rock Band is scheduled to be available during the 2007 holiday season for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 platforms. Have no friends? Make some online and start your virtual band that way!

Suggestion: If you are having a hard time with the ladies, I recommend asking that hot aspiring singer from English class to come on over and practice her vocals. She can help you score the highest points possible on vocals, and it gives you a chance to work on your “game” - pun intended.
