Desk DOTs are a set of six .79 inch (20mm) ceramic magnets. Use them as unique paper clips, fridge magnets, or a fun geek toy to keep you amused while at work. They remind me of a giant version of the CyberCube. Pin it

One of my main complaints about most Bluetooth headsets are the buttons that you use to control them. Fumbling around with your fingers trying to find the location of the button to answer a call or change the volume can be a pain – literally. Have you ever pressed a button on a headset and [...]

There are 4 USB ports and an on/off switch for the fan. Another cute feature is the airplane motor noise that [...]
