Brunton Echo 1032 Waterproof Binoculars
Don't you miss the good old days when you could see distances clearly? Perhaps at the theater the actors seem too far away. Maybe at the ball games you would like to see what some of the players are actually doing without breaking the budget for a couple of on-field seats. And skiing? Don't you want to watch the kids on the slope? Remember the binoculars? These are not just for Birders, especially if you live with a view of something like a lake, ocean, river, valley etc, then a set of these viewing specs can make your day. But please read the directions on how to set up the eyepieces. Most people don't know that each eye is focused independently, with or without glasses. Then bring the action close enough to be a witness in a lawsuit.

CarMD
When the "check engine" light comes on, the first thing I do is panic until I get to a mechanic. I think that the engine is going to blow up or something so I'd better move fast. But this government mandated light is just a warning that the engine is to be checked for potential problems and it may not have an actual problem. Although with my luck, the problem would be in the light itself and it was blinking just to annoy me. The hardest directions are to install the program to the computer, add batteries to the unit and then find the car plug location to plug it into the car. The website gives suggestions as to its location but it is up to the operator to search and find it.

After plugging it in and running the car a few minutes, enough information is obtained to go to the computer through a USDB connector, and it tells the computer to go on the website and check out the raw information. In a few moments the information is available for the reading or comparing to the mechanic's diagnosis.

Liquidmetal Technologies Cruzer Titanium USG flash drive for Sandisk
To break it down into simple terms is impossible. I would have to involve atomic structure, temperature and several scientific terms like "wow" and "cool." But here is the best I can do: metal that behaves like plastic is shaped, formed and made into usable, indestructible products. Forget biodegradable, this baby won't degrade. Try it out, the company has made the Cruzer Titanium USG flash drive for Sandisk. You know, those little flash drives that hold the world but fit in the pocket. They are always crushed by moving the wrong way or sitting on it. This new material has made it almost indestructible. I say almost because they haven't come up with a test, aside from a plane crash or train wreck, but they are not planned any more. So when this SanDisk is in your pocket, sit right or have a hole in your pants and don't even think about sitting on it unless they invent a flash drive for a colonoscopy machine.

Discovery Bluetooth Headset
I've seen them all over town; you know the blue roach in the ear. Hey Mistaah! Is that a roach in ya ear? A deep, slow, knowing voice responds "No son, that's no roach. It is a Bluetooth." Hey Mistah! Is that really toot in ya ear? Yes life is funny, but the real answer is that it is a Bluetooth telephonic answering device that allows for answering the instrument remotely and not taking it out of the pocket where it may vibrate to its little heart's content. OHH, I like it like that! Three and a half hours of talk time, mini USB charger, this roach will get you through the day.

Pyramat S2000 Sound Rocker
The folks down at Pyramat have invented a gaming seat that's specifically designed to enhance the gaming experience by the refinement of sound quality into a sound experience. The sound is piped into a viewing chair to allow the action to be heard all around the player. A good suggestion for future models might be a seat belt to hold the player in, when the base is up high and throws out lung pounding vibrations. Another suggestion might be to add a head holder pillow to the accessories, since games can go on all night.

Cordless VolP Phone
Keyspan has introduced a cordless phone to use with a computer based telephone account. The premise is simple, you've heard of those phone systems that are totally internet based? Well until now you have been tied to sitting at the computer to use the speakers and the microphone. With this cordless phone you can walk around the office within a range of the computer or even laptop. It's the next step in a convenience tool; besides what are you going to do with all that money you saved from not using the land line?

emWave personal stress reliever
This is a stress reliever tool. Winning the lottery, your mother-in-law going home, sitting in a restaurant with a plate of fried calamari with hot sauce and a pretty girl whispering, "you can eat it all," that's a stress reliever. The emWave tool is held in the hand with the thumb over a heart sensor. Colored lights show the interpreted heart rate which is indicative of the level of STRESS. As the lights change from red to blue to green, the internal stress reaction levels are reduced. When the blue light is reached, the optimum performance level is reached. Just follow the lights.

Fanatec: Advanced German Gameware
A mouse based game controller that has the most advanced German engineering for beyond cutting edge control and maneuvers. Here, time, history, precision and advanced thinking has been consolidated into a powerful new word: Germaneering. They have ways to make you squeal like a little girl out of emotional control. The complete LAN kit contains software, mouse, USB2.0 hub, cable holder, put into (what they call) a Weapon suit-case. This is different.

Cardo Systems SCALA 700 Bluetooth Headset
An ear hugging, Bluetooth enabled earset with the additional feature of the buzz locator. Sometimes units this small could be lost in a bag or on a desk so that you press a button on the mobile phone and the earpiece buzzes back until you find it. This could be very annoying in the office, so find it quickly. Wind and noise cancellation is an issue where talking on the telephone has taken over as the activity of choice while exercising. The SCALA-700 built so much built-in audio features that you'd wish you were born with it in your ear. The doctor would be amazed, but you would have learned to speak faster.

BTA II Bluetooth Adapter
This takes away the ultimate excuse for not getting the SCALA-700 - no Bluetooth phone. The BTA II is a simple, yet effective way to convert the older style phones to a Bluetooth function so the benefits of Bluetoothing can be used immediately. This keeps the expenses down.

Sleeptracker
Any watch can wake you up, but a Sleeptracker waits until you are in the "right mode" for waking up. People vary from light to deep sleep periodically during the sleep cycle. The Sleeptracker learns the cycle and "senses" when the sleep cycle is in the light mode and then wakes the wearer up. Try this one during a vacation time so you can learn how to set it for a proper wake up call during the year. Otherwise you'll have to go to bed with a rooster to get up on time with a headache.

Microsoft Streets & Trips
A CD sets up the program in the laptop, attach the small GPS locator and you're good to go. This program is different through the use of the small GPS locator, a website up-dater process, and the fact that the maps can be imported into a PDA or a telephone. For those whose life is in the laptop, this is just one more tool to use on the road. The program has all necessary stops for food and fuel as well as sites of interest, etc. It is a particularly good tool for real estate people to get a better neighborhood analysis on a new market area, that can be consolidated into a brochure of what facilities, parks, stores are available.
