A Little Ludwig Goes A Long Way

• circle fire pc multimedia bay — awesome, turn my office into a disco
• self rewinding pneuma hose reel — another one i could actually use, at halloween time my garage is a mess of pneuma hoses
• the worst flashlight ever to take to a hotel room
• Wi-spy spectrum analyzer
• pico projector not available yet but awesomely small.
• Bosch impacter — another thing I actually could use
• Bloomframe – the window that turns into a balcony. Just because.
• usb ipod mixer — another just because. i am not actually sure what all this thing does.
• The viewtainer — stupid name but useful actually
• hdmi switch — another one i bet i could actually use

• Audio-Technica AT-LP2Da : LP-to-Digital Recording System — rip your LPs. I don’t have many LPs left tho…
• WiFi blocking paint — though I might really like WiFi enhancing paint
• Beam compass heads — OK i could actually use these and at $15 not an unreasonable buy
• The trixbox — overkill for the home but I am still enamored of
• Tool silverware
• Super Tiny Indoor RC Plane
• $50 compound mitre saw. OK I could really use this too.

• Toolmonger Finds: Snap-on’s New Micro Pneumatics — small pneumatic tools.
• Yoggie, the miniature security appliance. Not sure why, it is just cool.
• A bookshelf made of…books.. Wonderfully recursive.
• The linksys kiss. Kind of a dvd player but with some media extender wireless goo whacked on the side. I wonder if 3 years from now anyone will still have a vanilla dvd player — i wonder if we won’t all have various combo devices (game consoles, media extenders, etc) instead.
• Unbreakable screwdrivers
• Wood case computers and peripherals — Suissacomputers, Woodcontour. Probably a really bad idea but cool.

• Tong Family Blog: Camcorder Recommendations — rich does a nice job of reviewing high end video cameras. for the 27 minutes of filming i do a year, i don’t need any of these, but…
• A projector with an ipod dock! Who doesn’t need one of these.
• The USB flute. And to the writer who sneers at “rocking out (with a flute?)” — go dust off your Jethro Tull LPs.
• Etymotic earcord winder. OK I might actually need this.
• MoGo mouse. This looked very cool when I saw rich with it.
• Super Paper Mario for the Wii. Mario. Wii.
• A chumby of course
• The Vectrix 3-wheeler because it is just awesome.
• The Callaway FT-i, this is all that separates me from Tiger Woods. (I kick myself that I’ve never invested in a golf enthusiast company, because golfers will buy anything).
• The MSR Reactor because you never know when you need to cook in gale force winds.

Gadgets I’ve noticed lately…

• The keyboard organizer — i need the XL model
• The Keyscan keyboard/scanner combo — I think I would seriously scan more often if the scanner was this close at hand
• A keyboard/pc — the other kind of keyboard
• Yamaha YSP-1 — surround sound from a single component.
• The latest ipod accessory — your house.
• Siemens’ wearable whole-house remote — great for my Halloween setup
• Hey I have every freakin’ ipod you can buy, so the ipod phone is a natural. By the way you have to love Apple’s iPod support policy — my iPod Photo was acting flakey, they gave me a new one, no questions asked.
• Sam loves the new slimp3 player (nice blog sam).
• Tunable glass windows to block selective radio transmissions — because I know everyone is trying to steal our secrets.
• Car stereo with removable HD — way easier to use than an ipod in the car
• And a wifi access point in my car — hmm, once i have full ip in the car, it sure seems like all these proprietary car nav systems with dated map discs will get crushed by mapquest/googlemaps/etc

• Man, Dodge is making the coolest trucks — the SRT-10, the Rumble Bee.
• Freitag Credit Card wallets. I went to a card-only wallet years ago, these look great.
• A ridiculously over-engineered but cool looking CD player. Not that I use CD players anymore.
• Custom printed M&Ms.
