If you spend long days in front of a computer like I do, then check out this gadget.  I often have to take breaks from typing and using the mouse because my wrists start to hurt… definitely not a good sign.  But if I had one of these massagers on my desk, I could rest my arm in there for a few minutes to relieve the tension.  Of course, this thing is kind of big to leave on the desk, but its still pretty cool, I think

Yes, I know EVERYONE has a Motorola RAZR these days, but if you like the phone’s design and still want to stand out, check out this pumpkin colored one. Its not much different from the regular RAZR, aside from its color… but it comes factory unlocked and ready to use with most GSM providers here in the U.S. or overseas.

Don’t have enough space for a full sized bar at home?  All you need is a bit of floor space and an empty wall for this little bar/cabinet.  Open it up when the guests arrive and keep it closed for a clean look when you aren’t using it.  Kind of pricey, but its a great stylish way to get that bar you always wanted…

If you are into games, check out this true gamer’s mouse… It was designed by Creative Labs and Johnathan Fatal1ty Wendel, the world’s top first person shooter pro-gamer. If you don’t know, he’s won multiple gaming titles and makes a living playing games, so if this mouse doesn’t give you an edge, I don’t know what will. Some of the cool features include: a modular weight system, very high resolution optical components, quick fire mouse buttons, and teflon gaming mouse feet. Everything you need to “pwn” the competition

Here’s another great iPod speaker accessory… but this does more than just play music.  It has a cool built-in light made up of 20 LED bulbs that should work well as a desk or reading lamp.  When not in use, you can even fold the lamp into the base, and it becomes a handy carrying handle.  Get one for yourself or as a gift for your favorite iPod-lover.

If you love all things “turbo” like I do, then check out this cool RC car.  It’s powered by two large turbines in the back that can boost this little car up to 18 miles per hour!  Of course, it comes with heavy duty foam bumpers in case you lose control.  This thing definitely looks like loads of fun… either for yourself or as a great gift!

This is a great gift idea for the chef in your life.  I’m not sure how good the knives are, but I love the design and look of this set by Cuisinart.  You could leave it out on your countertop as an accent piece (especially if you have stainless steel appliances), and the best part is that it’s lockable to keep the knives safe and secure. It includes an 8-inch chef knife, 8-inch bread knife, 7-inch Santoku knife, 4.5-inch serrated utility knife, 3.5-inch paring knife, six steak knives, kitchen shears, and a 9-inch sharpening steel.  Not bad!

Plasma TV’s have been getting cheaper and cheaper… so much so that I’ve been thinking about getting one for my bedroom.  This 42″ Plasma HDTV from Philips is getting very close to my budget of about $1000, and it looks great too.  It features Pixel Plus technology for better picture quality and even has a cool USB feature to help you share music and photos.  If you haven’t experienced HD yet, definitely check out this affordable option… once you try it, you’ll never go back

I remember back in high school, I had a Physics teacher who had a Far Side day-to-day calendar on his desk. Each day we would look forward to checking out the latest comic, and it was actually one of the few things to look forward to in school. Well, Dilbert is just as funny, especially if you have to deal with office politics, buzzword-spouting bosses, annoying coworkers, and pointless assignments each and every day just like he does

Wireless headphones are great… You can listen to music anywhere in the room without dragging a long, heavy cord around with you, and you even dance and spin around freely . (not that I do that, of course) As for me, I use headphones mostly for gaming and this affordable set by Sennheiser will allow me to get up and use the bathroom or fix a late night snack and still be able to run back to the computer if I hear myself getting shot at.

I was lucky enough to get a Nintendo Wii, since I had pre-ordered one in the beginning of November. However, I had to get one of those “bundles” that comes with 6 additional games. I decided to put some of the games on eBay, but Super Monkey Ball looked interesting enough for me to open and play. It’s packed with about 50 party games that make full use of the Wii’s innovative remote and nunchuck controller. I killed a few hours playing it on the day I got it, and I’m sure I’ll be spending a lot more time in front of the TV now

With the rainy and stormy season approaching where I live, I decided to check out some portable generators and backup systems… Although power consumption is worse during the summer time, its never too late to be prepared.  Most gas powered generators are very expensive, but I found a slightly different solution that is acutally affordable.  This 1500 watt backup power system by Xantrex has two standard outlets as well as a 12v DC outlet, so you can run virtually any of your home appliances.  In particular, I need it to run my aquarium filter, heater and pump in case the power goes out

No, the title is not a typo… this 50 yd. roll of tape also doubles as measuring tape! It has markings at every 1/8 in., with perforations at each 12 in. point. If you’ve every struggled with holding a traditional measuring tape in place, then this may be the solution for you. The adhesive on this tape is also non-staining and can be easily repositioned. Pretty cool, unless you need metric units

I’m not sure why I’m drawn to this barstool, but I definitely think it would look great in a home with modern decor. The lines are very simple and elegant, and the full size back makes sure you will be comfortable. If you have a set of old barstools, then maybe its time for an upgrade

I’ve been searching for an inexpensive speaker/dock for my wife’s iPod nano for some time now. We wanted something that was compact and easy to move around the house, while not being too expensive. The JBL On Stage B defintely fits the bill. It has adapters for almost all the iPods and uses Odyssey drivers for great sound
