Roll Up Waterproof Keyboard

Writing endless essays and dissertations, not to mention cranking out interminable spreadsheets can discombobulate one mercilessly. Or, to use contemporary parlance, do one's head in. So it's no wonder that one should seek a distraction now and again. Like making a cuppa. Watching telly. Or doing all manner of diverting activity. Anything, in fact, but real work.

Now, a device has been invented that is the distraction. And shocking pink it is, too. This frankly astonishing keyboard is bendable, cleanable, droppable and, most importantly, typable. Think of it as your flexible friend, able to roll up and go anywhere, with silent keys for extra stealthy late-night typing and a fabulous back-lit pink for making extra-fluffy finger puppets on the ceiling.

Best of all, there's no complex installation process or software needed for typing on the go. With pure plug and play technology at its heart, you're off and glowing in no time. In short, it's pure girly QWERTY joy in silicone form - practically indestructible and a fetching shade of the pinkest, bubblegummest pink imaginable. Another giant leap towards the seamless woman-machine interface.

Webcam Photo Frame

One's desk is an important space. A space to be cherished and protected from the incursion of one's neighbours. A space to contain personal effects as well as vital workplace tools. And, above all, a place for total control of one's dominion via a battery of gadgets, gizmos and devices. So it is with pride that we present the latest in a line of high-tech accessories - namely a state-of-the-art webcam complete with a fully detachable 1.8-inch digital photo frame.

Coming complete with 8MB of memory, the frame element stores up to approximately 56 images in GIF, BMP or JPG format. And, as it's fully detachable, you can move it around the office to demonstrate the beauty of one's family (and therefore the quality of one's gene pool). The digital photo frame is recharged when plugged into the base, ensuring the lights never go out.

The integrated webcam is designed for complete compatibility with all the major instant messaging applications including MSN, Skype and Yahoo. With a bit of know-how, it can even be used for video conferencing, keeping you completely connected, without moving a muscle from your desk.

If that's not enough to satisfy one's desire for total command of one's empire, the device also tells the time, date and temperature. And yes, it's even got an alarm to remind one to wake up for one's next meeting. Splendid.

The Study Ball – Finish your homework before going to play

The Study Ball is allegedly a real $115 product that prevents you from moving from your desk while you're supposed to be studying. Obviously, it's a complete sham unless it weighs at least 200lbs, because I can lift twice that with my littlest piggy.

The Study Ball gadget is a prison-style ball and chain that you can program to keep track of how much time you spend studying. Once you've selected the desired duration, you chain the ball to your ankle and the manacle won't come off until the schedule study time is up.A red LED indicator displays the "Study Time Left" and keeps you informed as to how much longer you've got to keep studying. The ball and chain are made of highly durable steel and weighs a total of 9.5 kg / 20.95 pounds, which makes it difficult to move while wearing it.
21lbs, pfffft. That's not gonna stop anybody from doing anything. Including, but not limited to: robbing a liquor store. ALL THE BOURBON OR YOUR ANKLE GETS IT! What? NO THIS AIN'T NO SKIP-IT! Via

Eyeclock Is Googly All the Time

Here’s the description for the Eyeclock from designer Mike Mak: “Eyeclock is a pleasuring clock which gives pleasure while telling you time.” Not sure “pleasure” is the right word. Judging from the photos, it seems the right eye continually circles around as the minutes tick by, while the right eye swirls a bit slower to count off the hours. Cute at first, the Eyeclock could possibly whittle away at your sanity as you while away the day. [Mike Mak Design]

Tap Radio is a Radio Shaped Like a Tap

The Tap Radio is a splash proof FM radio that looks like a water tap. You turn the handle to control the volume. The radio attaches to your wall via two suction cups in the rear. The spout functions as the speaker. According to the product description “it won’t look out of place in your bathroom”; except for the fact that you’d have a weird plastic tap sticking out of the middle of your wall that doesn’t look anything like the rest of your normal taps. As for the quality of this product- they also state, “It’s probably best not to pull the handle off as it will break”. Probably not

The Tim Taylor Pizza Cutter

Looking to startle house guests — or impress Toolmonger friends hanging out in the kitchen instead of the shop? If so, you’re likely the target market for the possibly-vaporware Pizza-Pro 3000. And before you ask: No, it’s not motorized. (Though we imagine a little time in the shop could fix this, erm, design flaw.)

Offered along with dozens of other not-yet-available products on the WorldWideFred website, this appears to be simply a molded plastic circ saw shape attached to the top of a standard.

Portable Anti Burglar Alarm

On a backpacking trip across one of the dicier parts of Southeast Asia, I worried about being robbed; every other traveller I talked to had had something stolen from them, often while they were sleeping. So every night before going to sleep in my rented rooms, I spent ten minutes constructing a precariously balanced pyramid of empty beer bottles in front of the door, an improvised burglar alarm I hoped a thief would noisily topple upon entering.

I sure wish I'd had one of these, a Wedge Alarm. The diminutive device is easy to pack, fits under a door and lets out a shrieking alarm when tripped. Beats having to finish three to five beers before bedtime just to build a security system.

Advanced Universal Remote - Logitech Harmony 1100

The new Logitech Harmony 1100 universal remote is an upgrade to the 1000 model, and features a 3.5 inch color touch screen that’s complimented with a set of soft buttons on the sides, and dedicated volume and channel buttons to the right. Now these buttons technically duplicate functionality already found on the touch screen, but I like the fact that you can adjust the volume and change the channel without having to look away from the screen.

And like with all the Logitech Harmony models, programming the 1100 to replace up to 15 different remotes is easy thanks to their guided online setup that currently supports more than 225,000 devices from over 5,000 brands. But if things get too complicated, the UI on the large touch screen can also be re-configured to show only the commands you want to see, even to the point of choosing a custom icon for each one. Now that large display does raise the issue of battery life, but the remote comes with a docking cradle, so whenever it’s not in use or lost, the battery should be recharging.

The Logitech Harmony 1100 is expected to be available in February for $499.99

TapeLink converts cassette tapes to MP3

Let’s say you still have a huge library of cassette tapes for some reason. Maybe you just hate to part with them. Maybe you’re cheap and treat yard sales like your own private iTunes. Whatever. Here’s a quick way to digitize those old tapes into MP3 formats.

It’s the TapeLink from Alesis. The recorder will do more then just make a copy. It will virtually remove all hissing or other abnormalities in sound quality and convert them to MP3’s. Just plug it into the USB cable on your Mac or PC and you’re good to go. The bundled EZ Tape Converter makes transfer easy and convenient. The files can then be retrieved via USB on your computer to store on any device you want. Get with the times man. Out with the tapes, in with the MP3 already.

Nokia N97 - Nokia's iPhone Competitor

Nokia N97 is one of the most impressive mobile phones featuring a 3.5'' touchscreen display and the full QWERTY keyboard.

The N97 delivers a storage memory of 32GB, and also disposes a memory card slot for microSD card of up to 16GB. Such recommendations invite users to store as much music and video as possible, since it also comes with the promise that it is going to run while listening to music for about 37 hours at a time and 4.5 hours of video at once.

World's First GPS Locator Watch

num8 is the world’s first GPS locator device that has been specifically designed with children in mind. It tells you exactly where your child is, anytime - at home or even abroad.

All you need is a mobile phone or a computer to find their precise location.

And unlike similar locator products, num8 has been cleverly concealed in a child’s digital watch that is securely fastened to your child and cannot be removed or deactivated without your knowledge. No other child locator in the world can match this.

Another great feature of num8 is the ability to set up a virtual fence as a ‘safe zone’. If your child steps outside this zone you'll know straight away.

If num8 is removed without your permission an instant alert is sent straight to your phone and/or email with your child’s location. It means total security, absolute peace of mind, all day long.
