Swiss Army Pen Knife


Swiss Army do make some pretty cool looking pen knives but generally they don’t look (or function) anything like a pen… until now that is, with the Swiss Army Spectrum Series Ballpoint Pens.

The Spectrum series look and function like regular ball point pens but as with all things Swiss Army they come with an array of fold away blades and tools. Tools include

knife
scissors
file
screwdriver
power light
Swiss Army Ballpoint Pens are available from Neiman Marcus for $50 which is pretty cheap for stuff from Neiman. Product

Logitech Quick Cam Pro


Logitech Quick Cam Pro is a product which is designed specifically for Laptops. Its small and latches on to the top of your laptop.This gives you 1.3 megapixels which is suitable for video conferencing. It also comes with Logitechs RightLight technology and this enables you to use it in any light condition. You also get Logitech's RightSound giving you clear and echo free sound. This is designed to work easily with MSN, AIM and YIM. In order for this to work decently, it’s gotta be USB 2.0, and I wouldn’t recommend using it with USB 1.1, but it is compatible with it.
It is pretty reasonable priced at $99 Product

The Golf LaunchPad


So you want to play golf in the house but your mother, wife, girlfriend, dog is opposed to the idea, B$!@ocks!!! Now you can play in the house (ok, at least first check and see that you have enough swing room, if you don’t, you may hit grandpa’s ashes, and that’s never good, remember he wanted them scattered at St. Andrews, not while you played it on your PC!)


This fun little piece of plastic is set to work with both the PC and the fruit,, er Mac, (by the way, my wife’s new Macbook Pro will be arriving this week and I’ll be sure to get my own review out on it soon!) The plug is the always simple USB (can someone please go thank whoever came up with that thing!) They’ve even done a really smart thing, that most companies are not clever enough to do. They’ve designed an entire “Reload kit” to bring your Golf-Launchpad back up to its original classy level of factory freshness. More importantly there’s a freely downloadable swing analyzer they provide as well. How great is that?! Now you can sit at home, practice any swing, anywhere, with your own clubs, and spend (for the PC) under 280$ for both EA Sports Tiger Woods ($19) and the Golf-Launchpad ($249.00). That’s cheaper than even getting most of those fancy hitting nets and mats!!!

Now if you’re really fancy you get a projector (come on, you’re not always using that office projector for work are you?) to feel the complete effect. Next time invite me over for a pint and I’ll bring my own clubs. Oh, wait I seem to be getting ahead of myself.

So it seems, if you’re looking to play Bethpage Black, Kapalua, and the Old Course, all in one day, with your own clubs, in the comfort of your own home, without the use of a SR-71 (I think N.A.S.A. has one they’re still using), with access to your own couch for a nap on the walk up the 18th, then you’ve found what you’re looking for.

Practice up! Oh and if you’d like my hints for golf, here they are: keep your eye on the ball, keep your head down, swing out and up, and finally,,,,
Keep score by color!! “I think I got a blue on that hole” Product

This unit cnnects into a USB port and no one is ever likely to find out about it. Just store it under your desk or behind the monitor and no one will be the wiser! (except perhaps you!) This is a mere $25 and i guess it is worth it!

Slim Pad- Laptop For Kids



This Slim Pad also known as small-version-of-a- laptop can be the perfect presents for kids to learn something new everyday, or for parents that want to force the kids to do so. One of the things I like about it is the fact of the screen is detachable and when that happens it becomes a touch pad instead of a normal monitor, but kids and sticky fingers from food/cookies are a match so the touch sensitive screen idea might not be a good one.
It can teach a bunch of things including maths, logic science, geography, history, and two languages as those being English and French - all the teaching is done by making use of games appropriate for kids and other cool activities that I can’t imagine. To give it a real laptop feeling it comes with a “light-up” mouse (read glowing) and 4 cartridges for games, and in order to make it even more identical to a laptop there is software like:
money manager - didn’t know a kid needed one
word processor - this is important, like microsoft word for kids
music mixer - useful too, compare it to windows media player, or iTunes
typing tutor – it’s always good to know how to type before using the word processor
Other features include a voice recorder & playback that I can imagine being used in coordination with the music mixer, maybe for a bit of karaoke. The Slim Pad costs £90 (around $170) and is intended for kids older than 8 which I consider being an old age to start dealing with computers, the earlier the better. Product

OnGuard Kids Personal Safety Alert



The OnGuard Kids Personal Safety Alert works great in getting the attention of anyone within hearing range of it’s 110-decibel emergency alarm that can be activated by the kid whenever he/she is approached by a stranger who offers more than candy, or is lost in a mall, injured, or even when cornered in the playground by a bully. It works great for both boys and girls as the watch comes with an attachable flashlight and interchangeable faceplates.
The kids will have to be taught not to abuse the alarm though, and use it only in times of real emergencies. Each purchase comes with a DVD that teaches the child how to use the watch. We strongly recommend that you pick up the OnGuard Kids Personal Safety Alert only for pre-teens, as teenagers will find this timepiece “uncool” and cheap with the $39.95 price tag.
