In this episode of Digital Journal TV, we bring you our top picks of cool new sites, weird gadgets and amazing inventions. This is your sneak peek at an oven that can sense what it's cooking, American warfare as a food fight and a hands-free umbrella.

The Web is now home to a flurry of cool, weird, wild and mind-boggling inventions. If it's a service that makes life easier, an odd gadget for the home or something that is simply a brilliant invention, we're always looking for it.

In this episode of Digital Journal TV, hosts Chris Hogg and David Silverberg take you inside what is hot on the Internet right now. We've found a viral video that shows the history of U.S. warfare as a food fight; a Web 2.0 site for book lovers; a strange new technology in the umbrella market; an oven that can detect what food you're cooking and automatically sets the temperature for you; a robotic gas station that will refuel your car; and a Wi-Fi-detecting T-shirt that has a display on the chest to show you when you're in a wireless Internet hotspot.

    I also like the book site. There is nothing like curling up with a good book and getting away from the computer.

    I also like the gas robot. I do not put gas in my car. If my husband takes a trip and I need gas I will go get a grandson to put gas in the car.

    Once I had my youngest daughter with me and I felt that I needed gas in the car and she said I would be OK until dad got home. I pulled up to a gas station and told her I wasn't taking her home until she got out and filled the tank. Hey I ran the credit card through the least she could do was pump the gas. :-)

    In some country's I could get thrown into the asylum wearing an umbrella like that! It would seem as if the Martians had landed! But cool anyway. ( I had a similar experience once in Kenya where I used a Bluetooth handsfree for the first time. People started staring at me taking into the air.) It would be complete with some iPod attachment or something like that. And a wiper on the front, useful when driving a bike.
