Don't miss it. There's some good stuff in it.

Al Gore's desk: a man after my heart

Al Gore's desk. Look at those monitors! (and yes, his is a little more cluttered than mine).

The I-Sight, ear-mounted flashlight

I seldom talk about products in these pages, but this one I've been using for months and it's really great. Well-built and useful. It has an adjustable bright-LED. It works on both right and left ears and can be positioned to point where you look.

It is great for working on the computer under your desk and re-plugging all those cables.


Also comes in a green-LED version for night work when you want to conserve your night vision (photography, astronomy, camping). I have not used the green version so I can't vouch for the night-vision preservation qualities but the white one is powerful enough to read-by and can illuminate a good distance.

Makes for a nice gift for the man that already has every other tool. $12.95

Fasten your seatbelts!

You have to see this amazing video of the fastest car there is: the Bugatti Veyron. The video is from a segment of Top Gear, a BBC TV series by James May.

Awesome!

GlobalTop GPS & Bluetooth HUD speed meter for your windscreen

GlobalTop GPS HUD speed meter is intended to display speed, direction and warnings when the speed limit has been broke. For navigation display it has Bluetooth connectivity that your smartphone or PDA device will love from the beginning. If you didn’t get what this device is doing from the first time I am saying it again. You get the speed and the navigation details directly on your windscreen, just like a jet-pilot.

Ooh! I want one!
