Ah Duct Tape. The magical tool. It’s almost as indispensable as WD40. Duct Tape is an amazing product. It can seal water pipes (sort of), secure luggage, keep people’s mouths closed for extended periods of time, and has many more uses too numerous to mention in this post. But did you know it can also act as a wallet, and secure your stuff? Well, I didn’t either until I came across this product. The duct tape wallet kit comes in regular silver, and black. Each comes with crystal clear instructions and extra decorative strips so you can totally customize your wallet. Be the first on your block to actually have a product made of duct tape that is really a durable product!

You can purchase lots of things in a can now days. Canned ham, canned vegetables, canned dog food. The list goes on an on. Well, I wish this was a joke, but believe me, it’s not. A place in Germany now sells Cheeseburgers in a Can. What’s next? And why not? After all, we have Jalapenos on a Stick. Will McDonalds get on the bandwagon? I know…they will call it the MacCan. But I don’t think it would be on the dollar menu. It’s about six dollars for this nutritious meal. Yum Yum!

I know that in most places on this Earth it is cold right now. After all, we are in the middle of Winter. But believe it or not, it WILL heat up sooner than you think. The Desktop Air Conditioner will be a handy little gadget during those sweltering summer days that are coming. From the website: “Designed for ease of use, this little desktop air conditioner utilizes frozen water to create a personal climate-control system anyone can use. Fill the supplied bottle with water, freeze it, place it back inside the chamber and turn the power switch on and enjoy.” Cool!

I love pita’s. As a matter of fact, I love them so much, you don’t know how many times I wish I could just take one with me, in my pocket, and pull it out at any time. Wouldn’t it be cool to have a wallet that looks just like a pita? Imagine going to the Walmart checkout and pulling out that twenty dollar bill from a fresh pita pocket! I know….I have too much time on my hands. Well I don’t think that this item is for sale yet, but it is a concept that might just take off.

Remember the Universal Translator in Star TreK? It translated alien dialogs to the characters in Star Trek so that no alien was misunderstood. Well, in Iraq troops have been using iPods equipped with translators at various checkpoints to speak in Arabic to Iraqis while on mission. Because of the small size of the iPod, and its low cost, this has been very successful. It’s called communicator and it translates necessary English phrases, and also includes handy greetings and blessings, animations of hand gestures with audio, a map reader, and several other applications. And it can also connect to a loudspeaker through the line out if needed to speak to large groups. Perhaps announcing free donuts or a sale at Sears in the country’s native language. Now, the VCommunicator’s maker, Vcom3D, is planning to bring the application to the travel industry with a civilian version that will enable travelers to use similar technology to make their way around locations they are traveling in and blend deeper into the culture.

Now that HD is dead, Panasonics DMP-BD30 is already supporting the final Blu-ray profile 1.1 that supports picture-in-picture and more. In Germany the first Blu-ray Movie Disc has been announced that actually makes use of the Blu-ray PIP feature. The Sony PS3 is also supposed to get BD Profile 1.1 support this month. Picture in Picture should be available soon in the United States. It looks like others will soon jump on the bandwagon.

Here is something I bet you’ve never seen (or thought of) before. A handy little fly swatter, that is shaped like the Delete Key of your computer! And best of all, it works on both MAC and Windows flies! Delete is molded from high-tech plastic that’s flexible yet strong, and it hangs from the handy bead-chain loop. Charcoal, Ivory, or Assorted. Peggable recyclable clamshell packaging. Now, I wonder what they will think of for Control and Alt? I know….reboot!

If I could count the number of times I was signing an important contract, and wished like hell I had a fork or a knife handy, I would be a rich man. Well, I think my dreams have all come true. Here are some Ballpoint Pen Utensils. Just carry around these pens in that geek pocket protector of yours, and you’ll always be ready for a Golden Corral Buffet. Don’t worry about the germs….just take a trip to the boys room after that meal and give them a quick rinse down.

Here it is the Garmin Forerunner 405 Wireless GPS Enabled Watch. Whew that’s a mouthful, but there are a lot of features packed into this Sport Watch. If you are a serious marathon runner, or a serious gadgetaholic, then this might just be up your bicep. The features include GPS enabled, Training and Motivation Features such as Virtual Partner, Courses, Workouts, and Goals. It can be used for running and cycling outdoors, or indoors with an optional sensor. It weighs a mere 2.11 ounces, and not the 1 pound that I previously reported. Thanks Jake!

You may not ever heard of the brand name Beko, but that doesn’t detract it from being a winner in the energy-efficient household appliance sector. Apparently, Beko claims that that washing machine is capable of doing your laundry in just 14 minutes. Hey, Valentines day is just around the corner. How would your significant other like a gift that gives them more time for you? The washer has a 14 minute wash cycle, which should use less energy in this energy stricken world. The A rated machine has picked up an eco-award for its energy efficiency. It has an electronic water control system that calculates the exact amount of water required according to the type and quantity of the laundry.
