If you’ve got school age kids, you probably spend quite a bit of time after school and onweekends in the family car, driving the kids around between activities or to their friend’s home. Kids often don’t realize just how much time you spend on them. What if there was a way that you could quantify the amount of time you spend driving them around from one place to another? I would think that would be worth something.
So you’re off to a wedding, you’ve finally had a chance to be fitted for a tux, now you just need cufflinks to go with them. Thoughts run through your mind as to what would be the perfect cufflinks. Perhaps something with a monogram, or how about something traditional such as plain gold cufflinks?
Nope, both are just to traditional. J. Marier’s cufflinks, which he made for a friends birthday, are made from 1 megabit Atmel Eproms. 10’s across the board for originality.

One of the more frustrating things about mobile phones is just at the moment you need it the most, it seems it is out of charge, or is about to run out of charge. Without a wall outlet in sight, the question is how can you charge the phone?
The mobile phone charger pen will do exactly that. Unscrew the pen, insert a AA battery into it and the pen now becomes an efficient portable charger for your cell phone. A single charge from the portable charger will provide 20 hours of standby time or 2 hours of talk time for your cell phone. All this without the need for a wall outlet either.
That’s not to bad. In fact, the icing on the cake is this charger doesn’t just look like a pen, it actually works as one as well.

Young kids can have a tough time sleeping on their own, many relying on some kind of a stuffy as a form of comfort and console. You’d have to have one strange kid if when asked what type of stuffy he wants and he asks for the giant plush octopus.
This 36-inch octopus looks pretty lifelike and will set you back $35.99.

Like most pieces of technology, with time, prices are dropping and what you get for your money is increasing. The challenge most people find is when is the right time to buy that computer, DVD player, or LCD? Buying technology is a lot like buying a car, once you buy a car and drive it off the road, it’s obsolete and the car has depreciated.
This is a classic retro wireless microphone. Certainly more bulky then the thin is in microphones we see nowadays, but if you have the desk space, this microphone is a nice addition for your pc. The microphone brings back memories of a time that has past, when TV anchors used to have a microphone similar to one of these on their desk while they were broadcasting, or if you are a bit older, you may remember when radio DJ’s used to have something similar as well.
