I have not forgotten!!!!

I have been crazy busy at work and I am putting the finishing touches on rebuilding and improving my home network. I will continuing my regular post, no later than the end of the coming weekend. To my regulars, bear with me ....I have not forgotten!

Here's one for the ladies. The Audi-Oh audio vibrator buzzes in time to any music you run through its audio jack. Want a quickie? Plug in some polka. Want a long and luxurious barn burner? Try Gregorian chant interspersed with NIN. The possibilities are endless. You can even hit a club or go see the Boston Pops and pipe the live audio into your love flower.

I don't think the world of audio-didonics has been sufficiently explored and this is really a step in the right direction. Soon women will no longer need us. They'll just need a long train going by. It's available for $69.95 at the aptly-named Grand Opening.

Luxe Link

Have you ever thought about the countless times you've placed your purse on the floor at a restaurant or bar? Did you just get that "ew gross" feeling? Now that you think about it, the floors of public restaurants, bars, and other places you travel are really gross. Luxe Link Purse Hook is a delightful and elegant space-saving, germ-beating option.

Lighter than your cell phone, and simpler to use, the Luxe Link has a pretty chain that wraps around a circular top (which doubles as a compact mirror). Secure the hook to the edge of the table and hang your handbag on it to keep it protected, clean, and within site. Functional and sophisticated your Prada, Gucci, Coach, or well-designed knock-off will thank you for the extra care!

Twinkling coffee table

LEDs inside the table are only activated by motion (setting a glass on the table, reaching for something, or the swishing of the cat's tail). Whatever the action, areas of this table light up when something moves over the top of it. Without motion the lights quiet to a slight enchanting twinkle.

When fully active, the entire pool of 480 super-bright white LEDs uses a total of 35 watts, which is less energy than a single common household light bulb. Using a network of 32 active and passive near-infrared optical sensors, it detects motion above the table and changes in ambient light. Made of fully analog circuits, the light patterns move outwards from your motion, glowing stronger the closer the movement is. It works in full sunlight or total darkness.

The table is made of 100% sustainable wood and water-based finishes, is 62" long by 31" wide by 18" high, and comes with either a glass or plastic top. Well-crafted wood lattice underneath, spanning the side waves, forms a sturdy shelf for storage.

The Hub

The Hub looks like an elegant piece of modern desk art, which it is, but it's also a hi-tech organizer. The Hub's globe-shaped base is host to 4USB ports and 2 Firewire ports, so you can connect up to six devices simultaneously. The eight delightful flexible tentacle-like extensions that protrude from the top are actually cables (5 USB 2.0 and 3 FireWire 400). If you don't have eight devices to plug in, you can use the USB fan, USB light, a USB extension cable, an AC adapter and a FireWire 400 extension cable that are all included.

Both beauty and brilliance define this must-have find!

Casio Exilim

User created content has really taken off in a big way, which is why you see tons of social networking sites, blogs, and video sharing services online today. Take YouTube for example - it is safe to say that this is currently the most popular medium for you to, in the website’s own words, “broadcast yourself”. Casio certainly has not let this aspect past their attention, and the company’s sensitivity to market changes is shown in the latest range of Exilim digital cameras. Both the Casio Exilim EX-S880 and EX-Z77 are standard compact digital cameras which are capable of facilitating multiple movie uploads directly to YouTube as well as various video sharing websites. In addition, it comes with optimization capability for eBay photos, enhanced blur reduction, and face recognition capacity.

For those who were early birds to the home video scene, they can definitely tell you that presenting your video material to the entire world back then was a whole lot more complicated than today. Casio has certainly made this process dummy-proof in both cameras, where the YouTube capture mode will record video in MPEG 4 H.264 high quality video format in the most optimal compression ratio, enabling users to record longer without the need to sacrifice their movie’s quality. Resolution stands at 640 x 480 at 30fps, which is pretty commendable by any standard.

The Exilim EX-Z77 and EX-S880 come with a megapixel count of 7.2 and 8.1 respectively, where both run on the Exilim Engine 2.0 image processing module for the sharpest possible pictures under any condition. An auto-tracking automatic focus system and motion analysis technology helps reduce blur during shooting, which definitely comes in handy for people like me who seem to suffer from shaky hands (a sign of too much coffee, perhaps?). The eBay Best Shot Mode is also pretty interesting, capturing photos at a size that is image optimized for display on eBay. Those interested in either camera will be able to pick one up this August, where the EX-S880 retails for $299.99 while the EX-Z77 is $70 cheaper.

Stun Gun/Pepper Spray

The Scorpion 200 Spray and Stun Gun could mean saving your life because it gives you two powerful non-lethal defense mechanisms in one: Paralyze them with 200,000 volts or blind them with pepper spray. The Scorpion's 200,000 volts of power will put an attacker down for nearly 30 min. Most standard stun guns only give you the power to momentarily disorient an attacker. When it comes to your personal safety, you never want to take chances. This is the most powerful non-lethal self-defense device on the market. It's solid and lightweight with a grip that accommodates all hands. The Scorpion is made in Eastern Europe and is standard gear for many top police agencies in some of the world's toughest neighborhoods. You or anyone you care about should never be alone without this. There's no safer feeling than owning a security device like the Scorpion. It gives you a fighting chance.
